Dirt Road
Mossflower - Dirt Road -------------------------
Winding to the north and south, the road leads onward to unknown lands.
Grasslands surround the dusty trail, shining golden in the sunlight.
The grasses are thick and high, concealing any beasts that may travel
there. The road itself is plain, yet it serves its purpose well. Free of
potholes and bumps, the hard-packed dirt is obviously employed often. A
few glimpses of green wildflowers can be seen dotting the grasslands, and
the occasional scrub tree emerges from the sea of gold.
Exits: [M]eadow, [G]rasslands, [S]outh, [N]orth
Patchfur the rat. DoraRose the mouse. Leon, mouse. Emyuil, mouse. Timothy, mouse. Taran, yes, another mouse. :D
Patchfur comes up the road, a nasty gash to the chest and shoulder blade so his should arm is useless now and he has already loss a good deal of blood as he holds a good paw on his chest to slow the bleeding of his wound.
DoraRose is coming down the road with a contingent of about 5 Abbey Guards, trying to figure out where her brother has gone. The female mouse is wearing thick bark armour over a tunic and leggings. She is also wearing a plate mail helmet and carrying her drawn bastard sword. The guards are all in plate mail with varying weapons.
Patchfur looks at the mousemaid and smirks, he gets out a dagger to throw, his aim weak as he flicks it towards her."You...mousie.."
The mouse warrior ducks back, but the knifeblade still embeds itself a little into her thick breastplate. "Yes. Me," she says as pulls it out of the wood. "And my name is DoraRose Strongheart, so if anyone in the afterlife asks you how you died, you can tell them." She tosses the knife into the ditch, waves the guards back, and steps forward. "Now, then. I'll ask you one more time before I starts chopping off limbs like I told you I would back in the Infirmary. Where is my husband?!"
Patchfur chuckles weakly as he holds his blade "Why should I care...maybe my boss will find him and finish him off....(coughs up a little blood.) ..least that other mouse is dead" His thoughts anyways, he has no clue really.
DoraRose tilts her head to one side and smiles bitterly. "Oh, I'm sorry, but I don't like that answer." She suddenly charges forward and slices expertly at the rat's left arm, then brings her sword up to hit him in the chin with her pommel.
Patchfur goes to use all his energy to stab at the mousemaid's arm, he feels the blow to the chin and his arm gets a nice deep wound as he hisses low.
DoraRose growls as the blade gets stuck in the wood of her bark armour and the tip pokes her in the arm. She pulls back, trying to get her arm loose, then swings and tries to hack the rat with her sword, using the momentum of swinging half-way-around to make the swing that much more forceful.
Patchfur chuckles weakly again, luckly there was nothing on the dagger, he tries to move aside and the blade cuts into his side and he falls onto the road, he is still alive but from the looks of it not for long as he tries to get up and falls back over as more blood soaks the dirt road, he coughs again .
DoraRose resists the urge to kick her enemy now that he's down. She instead goes to press the tip of her sword into his left arm to cut it more deeply. "Now, one last time. Where is he?!"
Patchfur looks up at the mousemaid threw fadeing eyesight, due to the fact death is seeping in slowly, there is not a sign he will answer or not as he closes his eyes and goes silent.
DoraRose panics and forgets her moral code, kicking the rat in the side and screeching, "NO! Wake up! Where is he?!" Fear seeps into her heart that she might never see her husband alive again.
Leon can walk on his own, but he does stay close to a squirrel just in case and looks over at another whom is carrying Taran and frowns. He has yet to see or notice anything further up the road.
Taran is being carried, and is by now in a deep faint.
Patchfur doesn't answer or respond to kicking cause...well the rat is now dead thanks to varies beasts wounding him and that before he even got to the dirt road.
Following behind them are four other warrior beasts. two ferrets, one being carried along by the other as well as he can while one of the tall mice is helping his shield brother limp up the road.
Emyuil emerges from the woods and sprints ahead of the group, sheathing his sword on his back as he runs, having spotted DoraRose and heard her voice faintly.
DoraRose sobs and yanks off her helmet, throwing it to the ground as she chokingly holds back her tears and covers her mouth with a paw. She drops her sword, sinks to her knees and covers her face with both paws, not even noticing the group coming down the road. 4 of the guards rush down to the travelers while the other one stays behind and tries to think of how to get the scary mouse lady to just look down the road...
Leon looks up as the guards rush over. He is ok just some cuts to his chin and a couple bruises on his arm and he has some dust on him, he does look tried and concern though, he nods and simply says, "Hey..." He looks to the shield beasts "We need to get to the infirm ok?"
Taran is being carried still, he has been tended to some before the whole fight in the woods started, he is also in a faint too and with a fever, this can't be a good thing.
The squrriels nod understandingly. "We are on the way Brother Leon, this mouse is not looking very good. Not to mention Shield Brother Micheal and Shield Brother Marcus need attention." The others accept help if it is offered but otherwise continue on their march towards the abbey.
Emyuil keeps sprinting ahead of the group, until he reaches DoraRose. He throws his arms around her and whispers, "I'm here, 'rose. Everything's going to be okay."
The guards that had come with the mouse from Redwall nod and mingle with the warriors coming from the battle. DoarRose shoves the remaining guards' paw away just as her brother comes up. Looking up with a start, her mouth opens in a big O. "Emyuil...?" She wipes away her tears and looks down the road. "Leon?" She pushes herself away from her brother and starts to run towards the healer. "LEON!!!" She goes to throw her arms around him as she starts sobbing.
Leon about gets knocked over when Dorarose suddenly hugs him, he keeps his balance and smiles "Dorarose, you're alright" He returns the hug with one of his own and rubs her back slowly.
Emyuil smiles briefly at the reunion of husband and wife before heading north to the Abbey.
DoraRose nods and starts to walk north towards the Abbey. "I...thought...somethign had...happened to you..." she mumbles as she goes ot rest her head on his shoulder after picking up her helmet and sword.
Leon decides to explain once they are all safe at the abbey.
