View source for Battle In The Woods!


Ebony sits at the campsite and is making some arrows, finishing one and lays it down and starts another one.

Patchfur twirls a dagger around like he is bored, which most likely he is right now.

Morgan is here, keeping watch and glances over at the two mice he has tied up right now. “I grow tired of this waiting; we should go do something like drink some ale”

Rayen stays beside a tree and looks over at her hare friend “Ok so the plan is you’re my slave and I am the slaver ok, got that?”

Arledge nods, he is covered in dirt and has changed his outfit for a torn up tunic and cloak, he has make lines of red on his fur and face, to look the part of a slaver and does a fake frowns “Ready lass or” He winks “Oh master”

Raven bops him on the head “You…” She then stands and clears her throat “What do we have here?” She says with her best sneer.

Ebony stands and right away has 6 rats at the ready to fight this strange vixen, “Who are you and what do you seek here, if its death I can give you that, otherwise you have 5 seconds to leave and live to see the daytime”

Patchfur is wide awake and unbored now as he stands and draws a couple daggers.

Darkflower walks over “What’s happening?”

Morgan walks over and studies the hare and then the vixen,” I could ask you the same thing vixen; you know your voice seems very familiar to me and I am unsure why that is so.”

Arledge frowns but stays quiet, a slave can frown right? He wasn’t there so he can still fake this, so he frowns more.

Rayen smirks “Just a slaver with a hare slave, could always use more so them mice for sale” She points to Leon and Taran.

Leon is barely awake and blinks slightly.

Ebony hmms “A slaver wandering the woods is not always unheard of and it is true we need to get rid of these mice before they draw to much attention to us” She looks to Morgan and Patchfur, the rats stay ready if needed, “Do handle this as you see best you two” She looks to Darkflower, “Selling woodlanders to a slaver …I am hoping, had enough of captives”

Patchfur raises his paw, “We could just dump them both in a river, that would be enjoyable”

Darkflower sits down and watches, she doesn’t do too much in camp these days.

Arledge does his fake pulling away from Rayen “Do release me ya vermin, I jolly well demand it”

Rayen glares at the hare and looks at Morgan. “Yes I could buy the mice off you, I have gold, say 100 for the both, the one looks ill.”

Morgan asks “Why would you care?” He listens to her voice and something dawns on him but he stays quiet and waits on a reply.

Ebony just watches quietly from where she sits. “We need to make sure beasts are not close by, that we rather not have close by”

Taran slowly wakes about now but stays quiet so he can listen to what’s happening.

Patchfur speaks “I don’t care, I say we just kill them, huh boss?”

Rayen smiles “Now now, no need to be grumpy kitty, you sale or don’t sale no business of mine”

Arledge tenses up some but trusts his friend with his very life.

Morgan snaps his fingers and the rats surround the vixen and hare and the wildcat draws his blade out “I think I know who you are now, you caused me pain last night and I missed a chance to kill a badger, well I won’t miss this chance to kill a woodlander, now will I?” He smiles “Kill” The rats go towards the hare and vixen, blades out

Ebony frowns, but stays where she is.

Patchfur grins and keeps his daggers in his paws as he readys himself for a fight.

Rayen gasps and then let’s go of the hare, she whispers to her friend, “Well this idea didn’t work, got another plan?” She kicks at a rat and one gets a cut to her leg and manages punch, it’s clear she needs up in your face fighting practice.

Arledge makes fist and goes to grab his saber, he frowns as he remembers it’s at their little camp, he goes kick a rat unconcious and barely twirls to miss another but he also has his back to Morgan.

The wildcat takes all chances given to him and the hare’s mistake soon turns deadly as he jabs the blade forwards towards the hare’s unprotected back, as he grins “You know what is..about right here..oh that’s right!” He makes sure to angle it as he stabs, it would enter the heart and lungs  area.

Arledge tenses up and  gets a look of surprise on his face when the dagger enters, his eyes then flutter shut forever as he falls to his side.

Rayen screams and ends up breaking a rat’s neck and goes to charge the cat not caring if she is wounded.

 Morgan smirks and slices at her upper arm and kicks her in the side as she passes him, “Ya failed Vixen!”

Ebony watches, a slight frown shows as she looks around not wanting to draw attention to them, “Morgan..rid the camp of the body or..bodies if needed.”

Patchfur blinks, well that was a little fast way to end a fight, he lowers his daggers unsure what to do now.

Darkflower sighs, she has seen death a lot and this doesn’t seem to bother her too much, in fact she looks ready for a nap.

Rayen yelps in pain as her upper arm is hurt badly and oofs rolling to the side and slams into a tree with a weak groan.

Morgan twirls his blade and walks off, seeming happy at the outcome and sits down on a log.

Ebony shakes her head, “I am going to my tent” She makes sure 4 rats drag the vixen a good ½ mile from the campsite and come back covering their tracks. She then enters her tent.

~~ A couple hours pass~~

Ebony walks out of her tent to hear insane laughter and shakes her head and goes to see what the problem is .

Leon glares at the wildcat “You killed a beast and you think it’s funny?”

Morgan chuckles more as he looks at the mouse, “Yes it is, when I am tricked like that, no one tricks me like that and lives long, I hope the vixen dies as well. She is the reason I have an arrow wound to my arm”

Taran coughs a little, his leg hurts badly and his fever is back again, he speaks “I hope she managed to tell someone where you are brute”

Leon looks over at his dad “Dad, you ok?” He is just out of reach so he can’t get over to him now.

Morgan smiles a cold smile, “It matters not, we moved and soon I will meet with a..REAL slaver and sell you two and your be out of my fur”

Taran glares best he could “Like to see you try and sell us.”

Leon nods “He has a point, beasts are looking for us as I speak”

Morgan suddenly kicks at Taran’s side, and hard “Shut up mouse!” He chuckles as he aims his kick and kicks, he could easily crack a rib bone.

Taran yells out in pain as a rib is cracked and shivers as he coughs even more, his leg already hurts as he has an infected place on it”

Leon narrows his eyes and tries his best to get to him, “Get away from my father!”

Morgan smirks and kicks the older mouse again in the injured leg. He then picks him up by the neck.

Taran gasps and weakly tries to get the paw off his neck.

Leon is in his rare state of rage now, “Release him now!”

Morgan smiles some “Release him? If you say so perhaps I will release him from life” He makes to squeeze tighter and pulls out a dagger to get ready to stab the mouse.

Taran eyes slowly shut as he passes out from not being able to breath, the last thing he sees is the dagger.

Ebony finally speaks, “What are you doing now Morgan?”

Morgan answers, “Breaking a spirit that’s what I am doing.”

Ebony places a paw on her forehead, “I will be by the river getting some fish for dinner, do clean this campsite up and let’s move, a couple rats follow her, “We will move downstream, there is a good spot there to have camp and make sure your tracks are hidden”

Morgan  nods to Ebony as she leaves  and then unties the older mouse and looks at Leon, “A slaver would not like such spunk and spirit and so it needs broken”, He stabs Taran in the chest and goes to  drop him by a tree, a rat looks at the mouse “He is still breathing sir?” Morgan shrugs and smiles his not so good smile “He won’t be for long….get the mouse we need to get back to Ebony and the others.” The rat nods and obeys going to get Leon and follow his leader.

Leon’s eyes go wide, NOOOOOOO!” He tries to get loose and even kicks at the rat that goes to move him from the area, they will have to drag him away as he tries to get away, he can’t tell how bad a shape Taran is in but he knows it can’t be good.

Taran 's eyes snap open when he feels the dagger, it misses anything vital, by sheer luck but does come dangerous close to his heart, he doesn’t have the strength to even groan when he hits the forest floor and faces away from the wildcat and Leon.

Morgan’s rat friends do drag Leon away, the wildcat smiles “And that’s how you begin to break one’s spirit “

Leon ‘s kicking and even biting of a rat’s paw slows as he hangs his head in defeat, he is the only healer anywhere close probably, he then feels tears threating to come as they get farther away.

Ebony looks back and makes sure they follow, she grumbles and has a rat fix the drag marks, and a lot is dusted away and made to look like it’s normal , mostly, and takes a final look at the older mouse before  she turns and heads to  a new area for their camp, such is the way of her group as they move between 4 different areas , moving usually once every couple weeks, she may need to find a new area soon as they have moved 3 times in the past 2 weeks. She shakes head as she also makes a mental note to have a serious talk with Morgan on his latest actions.
