Captives found and set Free

Pike has been tring to get his paws free and manages to get one loose as he looks at Raindrop, "Use ya beck, peck ya self free of de rope before he comes back."

Raindrop nods and goes to peck at the rope holding her talon, she pecks and pecks and it breaks in two, she starts to hop over to Pike.

Stormfur smirks as he returns and roughly goes to grab the sparrow and chuckles coldly, "Your going no where lunch." He then ties the sparrow back to the tree and looks at Pike, "That was not a good idea riverdog."

Pike glares at Stormfur, "Ye just wait till I am loose,then we see who be chuckling ya slime!"

Stormfur just laughs coldly, "Oh I see...I see..your a slave now and the sparrow is soon to be lunch."

Pike glares more at the Stoat.

Raindrop hops up and tries to fly and crashes as she fails badly.

Some noise is heard as a pair of foxes with a squirrel comes into the clearing.

Flicktail walks toward the camp, his red fur bright as he and the other red fox lead a squirrel with his paws bound a rope around the squirrel neck.

Stormfur only grins, "Trying to fly away was a bad idea..wasn’t going to work anyways and get you too far."

Flicktail does not look like Flicktail he looks just like an evil red fox.

Raindrop hops back and goes to try and hid better behind Pike.

Ember just walks behind Flicktail, he is scowling darkly.

Feisty growls at Flicktail. "Get this bloody rope off me, fox!!"

Pike glares at Stormfur, he looks over at the sound of the yelling.

Stormfur smirks, he glances over at the entering beast and walks over, "What is this, who are you and what are you doing in my campsite?"

Raindrop stays where she does not like seeing more vermin one bit at all.

Roac bobbies over from the road.

Flicktail scowls and kicks dirt at Pike, tugging on the squirrel hard enough to make him stumble ,"Outta my face slobber chops My mate " He nods to Ember, "And I are looking for a beast called Stormfur to join up with him."

Ember keeps scowling.

Pike glares at the bright red fox, who if smart is disguising his voice, he stays quiet as he is still tied to the tree for now.

Feisty staggers at the kick and cusses at Flicktail. "Try that again, laddie, and I'll gut ye!"

Roac looks at the bests tied up with his failing eyesight.

Stormfur walks forward, "I am Stormfur...join me why join me?"

Raindrop has one talon tied up and so can only hop backwards.

Feisty struggles against the rope, snarling.

Ember glares at Feisty and tries to sound rough, "Stop moving", He kicks at him.

Feisty snarls. "Let me off this bloody rope and ye'll stop BREATHING!"

Flicktail smiles and looks at Raindrop grabbing for the sparra, "Why, to make profit..I brought ya a slave..I know the slavers round here, but these cursed Woodlanders... Not safe for 2 foxes alone"

Flicktail asks, "is that yer raven?"

Feisty mutters, "No, it's his great-auntie the frog...O'course it's a blasted raven."

Ember scowls at Feisty, "Shut up"

Stormfur looks at Roac and back to the red fox. "I have no bird but the sparrow, and yes those woodlanders are trouble, so is some beasts just up north."

Feisty growls at Ember. "Ah'll shut yer trap faer good, and yer eyes, tae."

Raindrop hops back quickly and about trips on the rope, she looks near tears and is afraid.

Roac looks at Pike, than recognizes him, "Pike! what are you doin here?"

Pike motions for Raindrop to come to him, he narrows his eyes at the two foxes.

Flicktail snorts and hands Ember the rope, "Tie this sqirrel up with the others, and go see if that raven is worth sellin" He turns to Stormfur "I stole some ale..want some?" He smiles, "Can we join ya? I know where Snotnose the rat slaver is and he gives good prices."

Ember kicks at Feisty and takes the rope Flicktail gives him. he tries to Drag Feisty over to the tree.

Stormfur smirks, "What sort of ale?"

Raindrop hops quickly over to Pike and stays close.

Roac thinks quickly, and throw himself at Stormfur.

Feisty resists, but allows ember to lead him to the tree.

Ember wraps Feistys rope around the tree

Kerr has arrived.

Pike looks over at Feisty and frowns slightly, he closes his eyes and takes a couple deep breaths muttering and doing his best to stay calm.

Feisty tugs at the rope again and glares at Ember. "Untie me, laddie buck, and Ah'll show you what Ah learned in the seasons o' slaughter in the Northlands"

Ember scowls at Feisty "Shut your trap, bush tail."

Feisty grins victoriously. "Takes one tae know one, foxy."

Raindrop chirps sadly.

Stormfur steps aside of the raven and glares at it swinging at it with his blade.

Ember scowls at Feisty "Speak for yourself"

Roac flies back.

Feisty laughs. "Yah, bushy bushy bushy, ye wee fox head."

Raindrop chirps and tries to hide behind Pike, very afraid right now.

Stormfur growls at the raven and looks back to Flicktail and the other fox.

Pike keeps Raindrop near and safe beside him.

Flicktail says, "Easy Easy Boss...you know how much them feathers are worth if not cut?... Comere Birdie....won't hurt ya....." Flicktail looks at Stormfur , "He won’t hurt ya anyways..ya want that October ale or not?"

Ember growls at Feisty. "The only reason I am not killing you is cuz you might not make a very nice rug"

Kerr strides over, than stops as he sees the beasts tied up, than he looks at the vermin, "Who are you and why have you tide up this beasts?"

Feisty laughs bitterly at Ember. "Ouch, ye'd make a fine kilt, and that tail would make a braw nice sheath faer my blade if Ah hollowed it out..."

Stormfur looks to Flicktail "Sure lets have ale, maybe a way to celebrate a success and soon a little surprise I plan for someone"

Ember scowls and kicks at Feisty.

Roac moves over to Kerr, "Hello Kerr, would you mind helping this beasts?" He points with one wing at the beasts tied up beasts.

Ember nods at Feisty "you are right but since you ARE tied up I can kick you all I want"

Flicktail Draws the claymore on his back and looks at Stormfur, "Looks like these pesky woodlander want to be slaves....if I help you can I get a cut of the profits?" He points the blade at Kerr.

Feisty, in a voice so low that Stormfur can't hear, whispers to Pike, "See yon fox with the claymore?'

Kerr says, "oh, no"

Pike glares at the disguised fox and isn’t paying attention to the squirrel right now.

Flicktail looks at Ember, "Best get over here stink nose...were gonna have to fight these woodlanders...."

Kerr says, "yes Roac, I well"

Ember nods and walks over beside Flicktial. Ember draws his dirk.

Stormfur has his own blade in his hand, " You can help me fight, sounds good"

Pike recognizes Kerr when he shows up and waits to see what is going to happen.

Flicktail backs up with the squirrel’s claymore in his paw..back to back with the stoat "Come on Stink fur" He means Ember.

Stormfur says, "We fight off the goodie goods and leave with the slaves"

Ferrum has arrived.

Ember nods and glares slightly at Flicktail, "Me names Slopnose not Stink fur"

Kerr starts to circle stormfur.

Stormfur growls and slices at the badger.

Roac flies over to the beasts tied up.

Flicktail waits till Kerr is between him and Feisty, and takes the claymore, trying to take a swing at Kerr, the blade slips from the fox's paw and lands hilt fist at Fiesty's feet.

Flicktail EEPS!

Pike watches the raven closely, the sparrow beside him moves closer to him.

Raindrop starts to become even more scared.

Feisty reaches for the small dagger behind the feather in his cap, cuts his bonds, and takes the claymore in his other paw, leaping to his feet. "Got ye now."

Stormfur rolls his eyes, "Clumsy oaf! “, He glares at Flicktail, he hears the squirrel and spins around blade raised. “OH think ya can get away..thought wrong"

Ember nods and does a little jig than he sees Stormfur and jumps at him as he is now fighting Stormfur.

Feisty laughs. "Ah wasn't plannin' on escapin'..."

Stormfur growls at Ember and backs up towards Flicktail.

Flicktail pulls his other sword, the bright blade of Martin and slowly turns to tap Stormfur on the shoulder with the Flat "um....Lad? there is more of them then there are of us..I'm changing sides."

Roac cuts the ropes with his beak.

Pike watches, he keeps Raindrop close, he starts to make a fist thinking the raven is going to hurt him or the sparrow and then relaxes as he finds it’s a friend instead.

Feisty returns the small dagger to Flicktail, and raises the paw he had held it in up to his face in a boxing stance, slowly advancing on Stormfur. "Slavin' scum...Ah should end ye right here and now."

Stormfur goes to swing at Feisty and then looks at Flicktail "What ya a coward?..where you get another blade at ?!"

Kerr looks at Flicktail, "How?" Then he recognizes him "Flicktail?"

Roac has cut both ropes by now.

Flicktail says, "I always carry 2 The one I took from the Squirrel and my own", He smiles and nods to Kerr, "Don’t know what yer talking about Crazy badger..I'm just helping ya so you will let me go after" He prods Stormfur with the point "Surrender"

Feisty laughs. "Ouch, stoatie, yer outmatched now."

Pike glares as he stands, he may not have a weapon but he still looks dangerous when he is angry and right now he is, he walks over towards Stormfur.

Ferrum walks into the clearing from the north, surprised to see the place he had intended on sleeping tonight a battlefield. He draws his machete, but makes no move to join either side at the moment. "Well this is interesting..."

Stormfur looks at Flicktail and then the sea otter and squirrel with a blade now, he cusses loudly and goes to shove whomever is closest down hard and goes to bolt from the clearing.

Ember sighs and just Leans against a tree

Flicktail looks panicked "No one follow him! Slavers make escape paths with traps to kill beasts....if ya follow you may hit a dead fall....we will get im later" The fox still looks like a slaver fox with a blade not to be trusted.

Feisty punches a nearby tree. "Ouch, the scum! 'E got away."

Feisty pauses. "Ah can follow through the trees...Go branch tae branch, not going in any dead falls."

Stormfur quickly disappears in between the trees.

Ferrum steps forwards, raising his voice and twirling his blade, "HEY! What in the hells is going on here?!?"

Flicktail looks to Feisty, "You don’t think slavers plan for that..birds and tree dwellers ya mangy bushtail" He smiles.

Pike looks at the disguised Flicktail, he shakes his head and looks to the sparrow who is beside him still.

Raindrop is afraid still, very very afraid.

Kerr looks at flicktail

Kerr says, "hm...okay"

Feisty laughs. "Ar, good point." He glances over at Ferrum as he enters, and menacingly murmurs, "Best be leaving, whoever ye are, before ye get spitted."

Ferrum glances at Feisty, his normally laid back demeanor ruffled, "Is there any need ta be so hostile?" He asks, holding his weapon close to his side still.

Feisty laughs. "When ye're yelling at us and carrying' a blade...Yes."

Flicktail puts his blade away "Everyone please..let us place our weapons away we have 2 beasts here who may need to have a healer"

Feisty sheaths his blade, but mutters, "Can't sheath me fists...what do Ah do about that?"

Roac looks at Ferrum "hm...who are you?'

Flicktail moves toward Roac "Careful Roac with your eye sight you may not know me" He wavies to Kerr, "Hey Kerr....how did I do?”

Ferrum spins his blade in his paw, resheathing it with a flourish. "I think that before yew got fists on me they'd be separate from yer body." he looks over at Roac, "Name's Ferrum," He says, tilting the brim of his hat downwards in greeting. "Who are all yew beasts, an' what are you doin' here?"

Feisty smiles grimly. "Freein' slaves, what else?"

Ember looks around at all the beast and slips up the tree he is leaning against.

Roac says, "I am Roac, cheften of the great ravens of the east"

Kerr says, "hm...good"

Flicktail stays by Ember, careful none of these beasts attack Him as he doesn't look like Flicktail yet..he is trying to get the dye out of his fur but so far the best he can do is make himself look like a PINK fox.

Feisty laughs at Flicktail's predicament. "Go find yourself a nice river or something, mate."

Ferrum glances at Feisty, "Well then. Are yew planning on leaving soon? I was hoping to sleep somewhere around here." he says casually. He looks curiously at Flicktail.

Flicktail says, "You can sleep in a bed if you come to redwall abbey, course you must leave yer weapons in our gate house, no weapons allowed", He has plenty of water but it looks like he is going to STAY pink for a while.

Feisty chuckles a bit. "Flicky, speaking' o' beds, Ah'd reccomend stayin' in one till the dye's out. Ouch, if this were the Naerthlands, ye could just roll around on the ground and wipe the dye off of ye."

Kerr says, "hm..."

Flicktail walks up to Kerr "you know me?"

Ember leaps from tree to tree until he is out of the clearing and he mutters something to himself and keeps leaping.

Feisty shrugs. "Ouch, if the party's over, Ah'm heading back tae the Abbey. See ye all there."

Feisty walks out of the clearing, towards Redwall

Flicktail asks, "Ember?"

Ferrum sighs and sits down on the ground cross-legged. "Thanks fer the offer, but I’ll stay here." He pulls out a piece of bread and starts eating it.

Ember is too far away to hear the fox, Flicktail.

Roac says, "hm...well are we all going back to Redwall Abby?"

Flicktail looks to Roac "Yer not gonna tie me up and take me back in chains are ya Roac?"

Pike studies the now pinkish fox and grins; he goes to Hug Flicktail, "Flicky matey!"

Roac says, "of course not"

Flicktail smiles to Pike, "Novice you are in a LOAD of trouble" He chuckles and opens his arms to the otter.

Pike just smiles and nods, "Lecture me later, I went out ta rescue de bird..she needed help, didn’t plans on me gettin' caught too"

Kerr asks, "well, like Roac said, are we going go back to redwall?"

Flicktail offers to help each beast back

Kerr says, "Well I'm going after that slaver"

Kerr goes after Stormfur.

Raindrop only lets Pike carry her no one else.

Pike carries the sparrow and goes to follow the others home.

--back hometo Redwall--

Flicktail looks self-conscious, he's pink "Well that didn't go as I planned. But I'd like to thank every beast...um...you will tell that Sparra not to be feared o me won't ya Pike?"

Pike nods, he hmms "I am sure ya will gets it out of ya fur...so they taking the sparrow to the infirm?"

Flicktail says, "aye We will care for the sparra..she looks very frightened"

Roac comes in.

Raindrop is taken upstairs by a mouse novice.

Flicktail says, "Hello Roac"

Roac says, "hello"

Pike nods, "He had prevented her from flyin' away"

Flicktail says, "I just home my act didn’t make her scared of me, I have enough beasts scare of foxes, I also suggest you see Fleur quickly she is heartbroken...won't eat her yummies"

Pike frowns, "Heat broke bout what?"

Flicktail says, "She thinks...what happened to you, is the same thing that happened to her mum"

Roac asks, "who is Fleur, my I ask?"

Pike sighs

Flicktail says, "The most adorable rat dibbun you ever saw"

Benick comes running thru the Door "Unka PIKE!" He throws himself into Pike's lap "I..I mean Skippa! "

Roac looks at Benick "who are you?"

The Fox dibbun looks at the raven "WHOA big bird" He glances at Flicktail, "Dad..why are ya pink? "

Pike smiles as he sees Benick and hugs him. "Hey"

Benick looks up at the otter, "I missed ya..." He sniffles "who’s the big black Bird? “

Pike smiles "Missed you too little matey"

Roac says, "I am Roac, cheften of the great ravens of the east....and you are...?"

Benick looks over "I..Benick" The dibbun fox says, "Cause Daddy liked Benar, and Flick..so I am Benick”

Roac says, "oh...well, it is nice to meet you Benick"

Benick squirms down and walks over to the raven's leg and looks up "Are them feathers soft?”

Pike watches Benick to make sure he is not hurt

Roac asks, "hm? oh well, um...yes, why?"

The little dibbun look up "Kin I touch em then? Pike is my Skipper..and he and Da say it's not nice to touch unless ya ask first “

Roac says 'hm...well yes' and he sits down

Flicktail smiles to Pike "I think you have replaced me as his Hero" He says, "So Pike..did I scare you in my old slaver guise?"

Benick smiles and duns up arms open to hug the raven's chest, the little dibbun getting practically lost in the downy chest fathers "ohhh yer WARM! Mumma says thas why you sits on eggs! "

Roac says, "hm..."

Oz starts to head downstairs, tea in hand.

Flicktail says, "Oz look who I found (Flicktail is now PINK..bright pink)"

Benick steps back "Thank you Mr. Roac”

Oz walks down the stairs, he is stirring some tea and goes to sit in his chair like he usually does, he looks over and blinks. “Flicktail...what happen to you?"

Flicktail points to Pike "it's HIS fault! “

Roac says, "your welcome"

Oz looks at Pike and raises an eyebrow and takes a small sip of his tea "I have been way to busy pass couple days it would seem."

Benick goes back over to Pike waving to Papa Oz, "Hi Papa'" And lifts his arms for Pike to pick him up.

Roac looks at Flicktail finally notesing that his pink "you ARE pink!"

Flicktail says, "I think I glow in the dark too"

Oz shakes his head, "Maybe you should wash out the pink with...well something"

Flicktail says, "I already have Oz..no more comes out..."

Oz hmms as he looks at him "Well...guess will slowly fade, maybe use...maybe vinegar perhaps mixed with some water."

Flicktail looks glum "I dunno but who ever heard of a PINk fox “

Oz smiles "Your get it out Flicktail, don’t worry"

Flicktail says, "ahh I don't mind....maybe Fae will like teh color"

Oz chuckles "It will fade, don’t worry but why is it...that way in first place?"

Flicktail says, "Pike was a slave..I got im back..you didn’t hear?"

Pike sits down in a chair and leans back in his chair,..”Tried…later mateys..” He falls asleep in the soft chair.
