A Good Day Soon Turns Not So Good...(Retemption Of Marek TP)

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


RW Abbey: Great Hall

The Great Hall of Redwall Abbey. Countless paw falls have echoed from these stones, and untold numbers of feasts and merry gatherings have been held here. A table, not nearly so grand or large as its predecessors, but quite functional for mealtimes, rests near the center of the hall. Chairs exist here aplenty, and they are all of a matching set. High above, the stain glass windows give the Great Hall a beautiful appearance. The glasswork is exceptionally done, crafted by a skilled artist. The floor is clean and swept. A fire is kept burning in the fireplace at almost all times of the day and night, and there are several more comfortable chairs and cushions set up here, of varying sizes. One looks large enough to easily accommodate a badger.

The Tapestry hangs proud and tall, and while the rest of Redwall may still bear the scars of natural disaster, this most famous of Redwall's relics remains unharmed by beast, time, or the elements. The figure of Martin the Warrior seems to be watching over his own with an unchanging, kindly gaze.

Soft light is slowly beginning to filter in through the stained glass windows high above your head.

a message (board) with notes tacked to it

Zinnia is sitting at a table writing in her journal, she has both a personal one and one for the abbey.

Reseda walks up to the badger, "Hello, first how you are doing and 2nd I have a book for you to fix if that’s possible." She lays down a thick leather bound book, it’s a fair size book and has a large hole through it and almost out the other side of the book from the front cover to the back, and pages are torn in the middle as well.

Zinnia blinks as she looks up and smiles "Oh you’re the Master Healer at Ferravale, I remember you and I am doing a lot better thanks" She takes the book and looks at it, "Its..possible, what happen to it?"

Reseda says, "Some beast fired an arrow into it, the arrow was to kill a beast but they had that book get in the way, otherwise they would of died. I am unsure whats in the book I was only told it belonged to some squirrel named Oak and may have info in it of this Irinevok character that’s been around.""

Zinnia frowns "I, heard a little of him, that he was north. And I heard some of Oak..but why would he of known of this mouse?" She looks at the book and flips through papers before speaking again "Its fixable, just give me a couple days"

Reseda smiles and nods her thanks, "Thanks and the mouse is no longer north, he is in Mossflower and tried to kill Scioto, he failed luckily but no one knows where he went after that and that was maybe a week or so ago..shortly after your funeral here when Scioto went home. There was also a little trouble on the road I heard, don't know if they are related or not. That book basically saved Scioto's life, if he had not had it with him at the time I be reporting a death and not a request to fix a book"

Zinnia takes all this info in and nods, "I am glad the chieftain is ok. Maybe you can speak to Abbot Benar, though he is busy right now"

Reseda shakes her head" No thanks, not at this time as I may say something I would say something I would regret." She doesn't go into detail of what she means by that and looks around, then back to the badger, “I will either come back in a few days or maybe send Zaram, he is the recorder at Ferravale now." She smiles "Perhaps you two can exchange any notes or writings sometime, it's always good to have both the abbey and Ferravale up to date on current and even past events from both places."

Zinnia starts to ask why she seems upset with Benar and then decides maybe ask another time as she nods "The mole right? I meet him, he can speak a bit of common I noticed as well as mole. I like that but I do understand moles better than I did before as I made it an important goal to understand moles since I am Recorder of the abbey and a messenger when needed as well. I also understand Sparra and Northern birds even as we have a hawk that hangs around now, he is good..least he is an ally anyways."

Reseda nods "That’s good, it’s good to have allies any time, in good and bad times. I have to get going I will see you later Sister Zinnia, maybe in 3-4 days’ time?"

Zinnia nods "Yes, I should have the book repaired by then as I will make it my top priority to do so."

Reseda offers a smile "Thank you, now I need to get back to a friend of mine. Also I tend to not like being away from the infirm in Ferravale too long..the only one I trust to not mess things up is Oakenpaw."

Zinnia chuckles at this and nods "I can also sent word when it’s done, the book that is"

Reseda smiles and then heads out and onto the road.

The rest of this log Zinnia was ICLY at the abbey, I was only OOCLY there to log the rest as I was asked to do so, I did spoof some vermin though  =

~ Somewhere on the road on the way back to Ferravale~

Reseda walks along the road, she had stopped once to collect some herbs just off the road and down a little path, it was Comfrey and some clover. Both needed in Ferravale or at least she was low on them. She didn’t always carry a lot of herbs around, some a few paws full of basic herbs and some bandages as well.

Irinevok watches as he is dressed back in his darker cloak, beside him is his trusted Ferret body guard and archer Quickarrow. Also he has with him about 5 other beasts who have befriended him. These 5 are rats, but he has others that work for him also like ferrets, weasels, even a vole that’s no one’s friend trust me. He has been watching the healer for some time and is ready to soon strike.

Reseda collects the herbs; she doesn’t notice any beast as she even hums a little tune that maybe her mother knew at one time. She then closes her satchel as she finishes and starts to head back to the road.

Irinevok twitches his tail as the 5 rats go to block her way, he nods to the ferret and jumps from his tree as he smirks “Well hello, it’s a nice spring day, sunny and bright.” He chuckles coldly “I hate sunny and bright.”

Quickarrow steps up beside him as he draws back his longbow with an arrow notched in it and waits for any orders to fire off the arrow, which he has aimed at the stoat.

Reseda frowns as she sees the rats and then the mouse and ferret, she clears her throat to speak, “I do not know what you want, if it’s to join you then no sorry. I am not the fighting type, I am a healer and that’s what I rather do but I am not afraid to fight you.”

Irinevok starts laughing at this “Join?..Join me? Heck no, well not in that way anyways but as a captive…” He smirks “Yes that would be perfect wouldn’t it Quickarrow?”

Quickarrow nods “Yes Master…” He doesn’t lower the longbow , nor does he take the arrow out or fire, he waits ever calm and straight as a line looking down the arrow at his possible target, still waiting for orders.

The 5 rats edge a little closer and have their spears drawn as they block the path of the stoat.

Reseda crosses her arms over her chest as she then speaks, “You know that could end up being the worse mistake of your life.” She remains calm as she looks at the rats and the mouse and ferret.

Irinevok snaps his fingers, his single for the 5 rats to attack her and do whats needed to have her unable to fight back.

The rats take the signal and quickly go to attack the stoat, one from the back and one in the front and a couple on the left, the last on the right. Spears are drawn as well.

Reseda sighs and gets out her dirk and slices at the rat on her right, it gets killed instantly as its throat is slit, one rat in the back on her causes her to stumble and almost fall as she goes to try and slice at one in front of her. The two on the other side manage to cut her in the side as she takes a quick intake of air due to the sharp pain.

Irinevok watches as he speaks “When I say fire, fire at her lower leg Quickarrow.”

Quickarrow nods and stays alert, ever ready to do his master’s biding.

The one rat is now dead and so that leaves 4, the one in front backs up just in time to avoid a death blow but does get a good gash to the gut area. The other 3 grin at the fact they have infected some pain and a wound or two.

Reseda tenses up as she goes to slice at the rat in front of her again.

Irinevok rolls his eyes and nods to the ferret to fire the arrow.

The 4 rats go to try and stab the stoat in the arm or leg, the one in front gets stabbed in the chest and dies after a couple minutes. The other 3 rats try to fight back and one tries to disarm her of the dirk.

Quickarrow fires off the arrow towards Reseda’s arm, it’s a knockout arrow but could still do some damage.

Reseda manages to avoid getting hurt too much, but in blocking two rats the third does make her dirk fall from her paws, and as she goes to kick the rat somewhere painful she gasps in pain as the arrow hits her in the upper arm and she groans as she starts to feel the effects of the knockout arrow.

Irinevok walks over, paws behind his back as he looks down at her and smirks, “You know your 3 of the things I hate..a healer, a leader, and a stoat, oh and you win the extra special bonus hate, your special to Marek it would seem, oh yes I know things and I shall enjoy torturing you and maybe then finishing you off in front of Marek “ He laughs at this “ Wont that be fun?”

Reseda groans and hears maybe half of that before the world goes black and she falls deeply asleep from the knockout arrow.

Quickarrow looks at her and to Irinevok, “To the camp then master?”

Irinevok nods , “Yes to the camp. You tie her up and carry her and…” He looks at the 3 alive rats and 2 dead and shrugs, “Those of you alive come with me.” He walks off.

The 3 rats alive follow the insane mouse, one rat is limping and may have a broken leg but he is going to try and follow anyways as he rather not anger his boss. The 2 dead rats well, they just lay there like..dead.

Reseda is deeply asleep and will stay that way most likely for a good 4-5 hours.

Quickarrow picks up the stoat best he can and then follows his master to the campsite.
