Bad Day turned Worse

Jake sighs as he sits down face in paws, he is tried and it’s getting dark.

Quicklash watches the hare closely from where he stands; he slips out the throwing dagger and aims it at the hare.

Jake eyes go wide as the dagger barely misses him, he is quickly brought to attention as he looks around, he glares "Who's there?!"

Quicklash cusses as the dagger misses the hare and pulls out his cutlass, he steps out as this hare is weaponless what can he do, he bows "I be death calling ya to the dark forest. Have a safe trip" He then raises his sword and goes to slice at Jake.

Jake stands up and glares at the stoat, he quickly sidesteps, barely avoiding the blade, he looks at the stoat "Death huh, and who said that?"

Quicklash glares "None of your concern," He holds the blade and grins "He just said kill him, so....I do what told" He shrugs "Just a job, and gold" He goes to take another slice at the hare, this time he doesn’t plan on missing.

Flicktail steps out of the tall grass on the side of the road with THE sword in his paw and a big shield with a large "M" on it, and the fox is snarling, he does not look happy as he advances.

Jake is quick enough on his paws and looks around the area quickly, finding the dagger tosses earlier he picks it up, getting a cut on the arm he glares at the stoat, "And who wants me dead.."He makes a slice at the stoat, but he isn’t too great with fighting face to face.

Quicklash watches the hare, he jumps back and goes to try and disarm him of the blade, "Not saying...oh who cares, my boss...he didn’t want followed by the hare" he smirks at the hare "And he be long gone with the wee one, and your be dead."

Jake focuses on trying to keep the dagger in his paw, but fails as the dagger is knocked to the side and he is weaponless again.

Flicktail attempts to get close from behind and whack at the side of the stoats head with the flat of his blade, he knows his Bow Hare, and is here thanks to a Sparra that brought him word of his friend's plight

Quicklash smiles coldly as the dagger is knocked aside and goes to kick him in the gut and raises his cutlass "Was nice chatting, say good night..." But before he has a chance to bring the blade down at the hare the flat side of the fox's sword connects with his head and he drops the blade and slumps to the ground out cold, seems he wasn’t paying attention to anyone but Jake.

Jake gets the kick to the gut and the breath is knock out of him for a few seconds, he coughs and blinks as the stoat falls uncurious to the ground beside him, he coughs again and goes to slowly stand, he looks at his arm where the cut was made earlier, it’s not a bad cut but still bleeding.

Flicktail gets out some rope and binds the stoats paws behind his back "pesky stoat we will see wot the Long Patrol does wi ye"

Quicklash is still out cold as he is tied up, his cutlass on the ground still where he dropped it.

Flicktail asks, "ye ok Jakers?"

Jake looks at Flicktail and smiles "Flicky..yes, I am ok, thanks to you." He looks at the stoat and frowns as he looks back to Flicktail "Didn’t plan on any fight tonight,..I was just out walking, thinking...didn’t even have me longbow, not that it would of helped much, he came out of nowhere said he was gonna give me a ticket ta the dark forest...that someone paid him"

Flicktail says, "notthe Owl..owl is inna dark Forrest..how do ya know he didn't cut ya wi a Poison blade.....We need the 67th they know bout these vermin"

Jake frowns, "Would think would hurt more if was," he looks at the stoat and back to Flicktail "So owl was taken care of,..good" he looks at his arm as the cut bleeds some.

Quicklash starts to come too slowly and notices the ropes and growls low as he struggles to get loose from them. “Release me fools!"

Flicktail Checks the stoats for weapons and removes any "Let’s get this beast ta the patrol..oi bet they knows wot ta do wi im”

Quicklash goes to kick Flicktail as he is checked for weapons, "Don't touch me!" he has 2 more daggers, like the one he threw and missed, a thin line of some sort of poison on them, the cutlass has no poison but some blood on it, no other weapons just some gold coins and few sleeping darts.

Flicktail bats at the foot paw and then grabs the stoat by a foot paw and begins dragging him "wich way ta th patrol Jake?" mostly ignoring the stoat but making sure the bonds are tight

Jake nods, "Sounds like a plan to me..guessing the abbey, unless they headed back to the Mt. already, I..Haven't talked with any of them for couple days."

Flicktail says, "naaa the 67th stayes ere"

Quicklash glares at Flicktail "You’re going to be a dead beast too fox, not wise to keep me captive,...long patrol, bunch of dum bunnies."

Flicktail says, "aye aye..heard at one before...Don’t know if the patrol will let ya live specially if ya call em that...makes em cranky"

Jake nods "We could take him to the abbey, they could be there right now"

Flicktail says, "well elp me with this and we takes em....if e tries ta get mean stab em"

Quicklash glares at the two "I isn’t going anywhere.."

Jake nods and goes to help.

Flicktail drags the stoat.

They head inside the abbey.

Flicktail comes in Dragging a Bound stoat by his footpaws calling out "Um..Major Tyree? Darklett? Ello? Need a paw ere”

Quicklash struggles against the ropes and cusses loudly as he is dragged into the open grounds.

Jake follows Flicktail, he has a cut on his arm but is otherwise alright, and he looks around the open ground and stays beside Flicktail.

Tyree is still in the midst of the open ground, looking towards the gate as Flicktail drags some beast inside, tied up. He raises an eyebrow. "Er... what's this then?" he asks, coming closer.

Quicklash struggles again as he tries to get loose, he glares at Tyree "Back off bunny.." He says this in a tone of warning to the hare.

Flicktail says, "this ere beast were trying ta put extra holes in me friend Jake..says somone paid im...and um..Oi don't know wot ta do wi im Maja"

Flicktail says, "oh Ya Oi warned im about callin ya Bun...um that name"

Jake goes to sit on the steps to the infirm and checks his arm, a good looking cut is on it as he sighs, one of the healers pokes their head outside and sees the cut and starts to tend to it, Jake goes ahead and lets them and watches the stoat.

"Money wasted, then, for whoever paid him," Sersi quips as she exits the infirm, catching bits of the conversation; she eyes Jake as she exits. "What'd you do to tick someone off so badly?"

Flicktail looks at Quicklash and snarls "be lucky oi used the flat o the blade and not the edge”

"You probably should have," Tyree murmurs. "An assassin comin' out of nowhere like this? Rather incompetent if you ask me."

Flicktail says, "Kin ye elp us out Tyree...The abby don;t harm beasts an no place ta keep em"

Quicklash hmmphs, he looks at the fox and glares "You interrupted my job Fox boy, when I get loose I will just have ta bring my boss your head as well, not that he mentioned a fox.." He looks at Tyree and sneers "Oh..I just obey orders."

Sersi's head cants toward Flicktail, offering a curt nod and a lingering look at the stoat. She bobs her head in accordance to Tyree's words. "He speaks what I feel, as well; rather slipshod, if y'ask me."

Flicktail sits on the Stoat to pin him looking up at Tyree

"Why risk your life for a few handfuls of coin?" Sersi asks of Quicklash, eyes narrowing. "You're far outnumbered here; do not speak as if you are a threat."

Jake lets his arm be bandaged and frowns, he looks at the Stoat as he is curious "Why ya boss want me dead for ?"

"Then we find out what we need to know," Tyree murmurs quietly, coming closer. "An' then... dispose of 'em." He peers at the assassin. "He's a vermin an' a known killer besides. Not much else ta' do with 'im." He looms over the stoat. "You should remove thoughts of escape from your head, sir."

Quicklash smirks at Tyree, he hears Jake and smiles coldly "No following when you’re dead, and as for questions you’re out of luck....bunny"

Flicktail says, "OI think Tyree kin be polite...and if oi were gonna get slayed oi'd want the beast ta be polite....Oi seen the Major when e be..cranky..killed a darkcat e did"

Jake decides to let the long patrol handle the stoat as he stands and heads into the infirm.

Tyree walks up to the stoat, and looks down at him. "If you don't talk," he says quietly, "then things will go from rather uncomfortable to extremely unpleasant rather soon," he says simply. "They're goin' to expect cooperation. The walls of this Abbey are the only things keepin' you from... said unpleasantness."

Flicktail says, "we kin elp ya get im out o th Walls Major...."

Quicklash glares at Tyree and nods "Sure..I will talk, he waits till he is closer and then smirks, he spits at the hare and laughs coldly "Enough info for ya bunny?"

Tyree's reply is a swift kick to the stoat's face.

"Thank you for cooperatin'," the major says. He nods to the gate. "Right, then. Let's get this over with. Flicktail, Jake, back outside if you please."

"Now don't go an' break his jaw, Tyree," Sersi minds, making her way toward the merry trio. "You'll never get any words from him if you do that."

Tyree looks back at Sersi and raises an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want to be 'ere for this?" he asks quietly.

Flicktail says, "Please Major...wait till e be outside" he grabs the stoat and heads for the Gate

Quicklash smirks "Oh, tried of me already, letting me go..." he spits blood from where he was kicked in the face and looks at the hare.

Jake looks towards the open ground as he was about to go in when he hears his name and looks towards Tyree.

Sersi seems unparsed by the proceedings, and offers a heedless shrug to the Major. "My current evening plans are easily disposable, and this seems far more engaging. Would you mind...?"

Flicktail looks at the Stoat "well Lad, this be a patrol matter" and he departs Trusting the major who he knows is a good beast

Tyree isn't going to be a good beast for much longer. "Very well. If you aren't too squeamish." He nods to Jake and reaches down to grab the stoat again, pushing him to the gate. "Off we go. Jolly good time we're gonna 'ave together.

"M'sure I've seen worse," Sersi mumbles beneath her breath, falling in line behind.

Jake normally would just stay behind in the abbey but he is curious as to why the stoat was after him and who sent him. So he follows them.

Quicklash struggles under his ropes as he is pushed to the gate.

Tyree pushes Quicklash out the gates, hard enough to try and make him stumble and fall into the dirt on the road.

Quicklash trips and falls flat on his face and onto the dirt road, he spits out dirt that’s already mixed with blood, and he glares at Tyree.

From the back of the pack to the side, Sersi walks with one leg crossing the other as Tyree pushes Quicklash. On the way out she had the mind to gather her weapons from the gate house, and she adjusts them currently. Two daggers, bow, quiver.

Jake follows the others and stops by the gate, his arm bandaged as he watches, he didn’t go get go get his longbow, but will if it’s needed.

Tyree has the only weapons he needs right now. A dagger and his fists. "I'm goin' to ask once, an' once, politely," Tyree says. "Here's how it all works. You answer our questions. Each show of uncooperation will earn you first punches... then kicks... broken bones if you're /really/ that stubborn." He sniffs and paces slowly around the stoat. "It just gets more painful from there." He holds up the dagger and looks down at the assassin. "You ever been... cut? Deliberately?"

Quicklash sneers "I been injured in fights, usually I do the injuring though...I am paid to kill, sometimes just capture."

Jake looks at the stoat as it speaks, he waits to see just how much info it’s going to give.

Quicklash looks from hare to hare and smirks again "What makes ye think I should answer your questions, ya don’t need to know nothing, I don’t speak to no one"

Jake shakes his head, he decides to ask a couple questions "So ..who sent you? and why, when you first came out and swinged at me, mentioned this boss of yours had someone, a dibbbun sounded like."

Quicklash smirks "Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. What’s it matter to ya" he tries to move his paws so he can get free as he speaks.

Jake stands there and crosses his paws over his chest, "Who is it that..he..has?" He asks slowly this time.

Quicklash smirks, one of the patrol hares kick him again and he glares at them, after a couple punches he grunts, he looks at Jake and glares again and nods "Fine..dibbun, maybe no more than 3 seasons old, he has that, hare maid.."

Jake listens carefully "Go on.." he frowns, remembering the owls words and glares at the stoat "He has my daughter!"

Quicklash laughs evilly "Yours huh..heee, good luck getting her back lad!"

Jake glares and goes to slap him himself and then gives him a good punch in the snout, enough to knock him out, tears go down his face.

Quicklash smirks, as the punch and slap connect he spits blood, barely awake now he chuckles coldly "Good luck, they long gone now boy!"

Jake screams loudly and sends another punch to the stoat, and breaths in and out deeply.

Quicklash is knocked out cold with that punch.

Honeyfern is at the table eating a late snack and is by herself as most are asleep.

Jake comes in, his arm bandaged and blood on his paw, he stops as he sees Honeyfern and nods slowly "Hallo"

Honeyfern looks up and gasps, she is quickly at his side "Wot happen? you’re hurt..wots going on? “She waits for answers.

Jake sniffs "I am a failure, that’s what happen, the stoat, it said his boss had her,. He" he looks at her "He has Kiara, and there were plans to leave mossflower and.." he shakes his head.

Honeyfern frowns "Don’t worry, we will find her, you will I know you will...please just, just try to relax"

This is a couple hours later.

Jake has been thinking and he looks around to see if that stoat is still around, seeing him he goes over to him and grabs him “You’re going to be more specific on answers....where is my daughter, that’s the dibbun he has isn’t it, ?"

Quicklash looks up and smirks "No more answers....no doing"

Jake glares, he grabs the stoat and drags him up the stairs and to the wall and holds him, upside down, over the wall and waits.

Quicklash eyes go wide at this, "Alright alright!..a lizard, has the girl got her off an owl, owl just wanted a favor, and course boss didn’t return the favor just left with the girl, well..he was warned an archer might come and told me to kill the archer, gave a very good desc of you...said the haremaid spoke her name, Kiara or something, it’s all I know, I swear and no I don’t know what direction...I don’t know, south or north maybe!"

Jake glares "Count of three...one...two..." he then backs up and sits him on level ground, "Three" he punches him out and heads to the gatehouse to get his bow, he lets a long patrol hare take the vermin, well...where ever they take him.

Jake comes down the road, longbow at the ready. his arm is tightly bandaged but he is on a mission to find someone and is traveling quickly down the road.

Garth is a little south with dibbun in tow, upon seeing the hare he cusses loudly and grabs the dibbun and sprints forwards.

Kiara blinks, she sees Jake "Daddy daddy!"

Jake hearing and then seeing Kiara makes hi move even faster towards them, he selects an arrow and already has it aimed at the monitor and fires once an opening is seen.

Garth hisses as the arrow hits him in the shoulder blade and grabbing the dibbun he puts her down "Stay put or ya dinner!"

Kiara starts to cry as she is placed down and looks at the two.

Jake is in rage right now, battle light in his eyes as he rushes forwards another arrow and he goes to fire it at the monitor, he is a little off as his arm hurts and he is peeved off.

Garth slowly, the arrow hits his tail, he slips out a vile of something quickly and places it on a dagger, he grins and flicks the poison coated dagger at the charging hare.

Kiara watches and frowns from where she was forced to sit, she whimpers "Daddy...."

Jake is hit with the dagger in the shoulder and holds his shoulder and tenses up as he falls to his knees.

Garth grabs the dibbun and smirks "Bye...your die soon probably" He gets out of there before something else happens.

Jake watches the lizard leave and goes to get up "No.." he falls flat on his face and drops the longbow, his shoulder starting to hurt badly he slowly pulls the dagger out and lays there on the ground as he lets go of it and closes his eye, he seems a little out of breath now and the lizard got away.

"Jake, ye' 'ave a bad habit of gettin' hurt." Maythus walks up to the hare and squats down, turning him over. "Gotta start atleast listenin' to a over-happy hares advice."

Jake groans, he opens his eye and looks at Maythus, he shivers as if he is cold and his shoulder is hurting badly "..K..K..Kiara..." he tenses up in pain from his shoulder and closes his eye again.

Maythus nods, "The big oaf of a lizard ran off across the plains." He sighs and goes about negating the poison from the blade in Jake's shoulder.

Jake half listens as Maythus talks, "Shoulder...hurts...and I'm cold..can't let..." he stops to get some air "Let get away...."

Maythus stays silent as he daps a few leaves in his paw from a bottle and puts them in his mouth, chewing them up gradually into a pulp.

Jake watches Maythus, a moment and then closes his eye slowly "Tried..and pain, just need sleep it off..be good as new...wot say?" His voice even sounds tried.

Maythus grins and spits the mush out and rubs it into Jake's dagger wound, "Hopefully. Ye' will be alright."

Jake mutters something, he is semi-awake now but alive, his breathing and heart rate is a little off but not dangerous low.

Maythus blinks a few times as he finishes up, "Oh great."

Jake lays there, his chest slowly rises and falls as he starts to slip further into deep faint.

Maythus mutters and picks up Jake carefully, cradling the hare in his arms and heading back towards the abbey. Sighing a little under his breath.

Jake is picked up, hopefully the longbow is too, he groans weakly and shivers a little, the poison is still effecting him some, but seems further effects have been stopped.

Maythus kicks up the long bow and catches it over his head, "Eh, gotta stay outta trouble. Ye' will get too darn old for things like this because of trouble." He pulls his cloak up and over Jake to try and keep him warm.

Jake is carried back to the abbey and placed on a cot carefully in the infirm

Jake is placed on a cot in the infirm, he has slipped into a deep faint by now and seems to have a little bit of a fever, the wound isn’t as swelled up as it could have been and that’s a good sign. But he still isn’t in great shape.

Maythus sets his bag down and covers up Jake with a thick blanket. "Time to watch 'ye again."

Jake mutters something is his fevered faint state, he moves his head back and forth as if having some bad dream.

Maythus pulls up a chair next to Jake's bed and rests a paw on the hare's forehead, keeping him still. "Keep still lad. Don' want things worse off then they are now
