A little Extra Help Is Always Good

Zee was restless so he got the Blade of The Northwind Storms and went outside the gates, he though he saw a campfire in the woods, so he went to have a look. He found light armor in a storage area and borrowed it. With his was a mole, Zaram, even with a bandaged side he stays careful and has a staff. Also another friend he talked into joining him.

Thunderwing was loyal beyond all to the bad his clan, even if that clan seemed to be getting smaller he was still loyal to him and stayed close by, or least keep him in his sights from a tree or from the air above.

The campfire was not too far away, around it a muscle bound fox and 3 ferrets, as well as a stoat that looked to be able to fight well, the ferrets were average fighters, but knew self-defense all once tavern workers and the fox the tavern bouncer, they had flee into the woods with Marek out a hidden door from the storage area that led into the woods, it was under the tavern..Marek had sneaked back into town only to get caught. They were about to learn this.

Rayen walked along the edge of the woods, she too saw smoke and decided to take a look around, a quick look and then get help if needed.

Another stoat close by followed the vixen, this one has red paint all over like war paint, he smirked as he called out “Woodlander liker! I know how bouts ya join the wining team of Chieftain Kolur?” He smirks ”Or Plan 2…you say no and you die”

Zee steps up behind the stoat and snarls “Plan 3…I tell ya to leave de lass alone, ya like that one?”

Zaram quickly heads forwards; he then sees who it is and quickly goes to tell them the news of Marek and how they could meet up with Blisa tonight if they wished.

Rayen has only her longbow and that’s not a good weapon close up, she steps back and answers “No and I think it’s wise to listen to my friend there also”

The red painted stoat spins around to see the badger and grins “A stripe dog wot fun to kill!” He right away slices at Zee.

Thunderwing narrows his eyes and dive bombs the stoat quickly”Leave friends of Thunderwing alone or I hurt you plenty good!!”

Zaram meanwhile gets the small group from the tavern together and they walk right up to the fight, they keep their distance but two look ready to fight if needed.

Rayen steps back, seeing the other beasts she calls out “Who are you? If you be foe I suggest you leave now, that’s my only warning.”

The stoat gets a back full of talons and hisses low, he takes advantage of the vixen being distracted and goes to flick a knockout dart at her.

Zee frowns “Lass look out!”

Rayen only has time to feel the dart and pull it out before she collapse onto the forest floor.

The fox answers “We are friends of Marek’s….”His eyes widen and then without thinking he goes to stab the stoat with two daggers as he calls to one of the ferrets “ Ortan tend to her” He gets a nod, seems this ferret is a healer. The fox then goes to fight the red painted stoat.

Zaram frowns and watches from the safety of the stoat that’s on his side.

Thunderwing looks ready to rake talons on the red painted stoat again if needed, but he waits nearby.

The red stoat grins, and him and the fox fight, before long the stoat is thrown backwards and slams into a tree with a groan.

The fox pants and nods, “There bird..some food maybe.” He then goes to check on Rayen.

Zee walks over to the others, the three ferrets, the fox and the stoat that’s with them, this stoat is brown furred and has an eye patch. Zaram also walks over and nods .

Thunderwing doesn’t need told twice, he goes to slice the red painted stoat’s throat and kills him, well he has dinner but he drags it elsewhere. What he isn’t rude to eat in front of others.

Rayen groans as she opens her eyes and at first tenses when she sees she is surrounded and only relaxes when she sees the mole Zaram and the badger Zee…”What,,,who?”

The fox answers “I am Connor and this is my friend Kowell” He points to the stoat, and then the ferrets “A healer…Ortan, and my other two friends from the tavern Salt and Pepper, it’s nice to see a lovely vixen like yourself” He goes to kiss her paw.

Zee Chuckles “She be married lad….”

Rayen blushes “Thanks for helping Connor..”She frowns “It’s getting dark I need to get home.”

Connor nods, “We can help, no need to go alone when danger is around and according to Zaram we need to speak with Blisa, the true chieftain of Ferravale”

They all agree to get to the abbey where Zee will get Rayen, to the infirm, the others he leads to the fire pit where Blisa is and they can chat about what is needed to get Ferravale back into her paws.

So we have these loyal beasts to Blisa and they are tavern staff-

Connor-fox and fighter

Kowell-Stoat and tavern bouncer

Ortan-Heaaler ferret

Pepper-ferret

Salt-Ferret
