Hunting For Cats and Finding the Wrong One

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


      • Starts off just outside of Ferravale by the bridge***

Zork has his thicker cloak on, and is walking along the path.

Scioto spots the badger ad walks over to him, “And you’re going where, you should stay in the infirm couple more days.”

Zork stops and grins, “One my good cat-coughs- Getting beasts inside..Tavern, Inn, any place and looking for ya friend Astra.”

Scioto nods as he walks past Zork, his own thick cloak on, sword and a small sack over his back.

Zork steps in front of the cat and grins, “Whoa kitty, you need to go inside as well, ya a daughter ta spend time with and keep inside ya home or tavern with you till storm passes”

Scioto glares at the badger and goes to walk around him.

Zork steps into his path again, “Whoa..look I will look for Astra and I am use ta weather like this I lived I the snowy North.”

Scioto finally nods, “Ok..but if you’re not back after the storm or I don’t get word your elsewhere besides in this, I will come with a search party looking for you.”

Zork nods, “Understood-coughs-.” He heads on down the road.

Scioto heads to the tavern and village to make sure everyone gets inside before the storm comes as sow starts to fall and the wind picks up badly, the cold starts to worsen as he turns and soon is sending guards to get beasts inside and out of the weather and checking on beasts in shops and homes and finally getting inside himself.

Zork meanwhile heads south on the road.

      • Further down the road Zork finds Flicktail, or did Flicktail find him? Does it matter :P ? ***

Flicktail says, "Zork..Help me find a cat I am looking for lost in Mossflower..."

Zork is here with a thick cloak, "Someone lost in this?" His voice strained some.

Flicktail says, "Aye got word a while ago somewhere in Mossflower woods. Can ya help me?"

Zork nods "I can try but- coughs- can't stay out 'ere too long, getting worse"

Flicktail nods "Well which way to Mossflower?”

Zork chuckles "All over" He shakes his head as the wind picks up and blows more snow around.

Flicktail says, "Let’s check over by the river"

Mudfur is by the road and watches them as he steps out, "Lovely weather is it not?"

Zork nods to Flicktail when he sees the cat, "Well, ya found a cat Flicky." He grins.

Flicktail says, "Wrong one, this one thinks you should be a Slave Zork...not really a cat. More a monster"

Mudfur smirks, "Oh....so what is a poor excuse for a fox and a stripe dog doing out in this whether, only gonna get worse"

Zork eyes narrow, "You better watch what ya say feline, poor choice of words."

Flicktail says, "He’s a coward Zork. Chasing after a gel that doesn’t want him, I can see why"

Mudfur chuckles dryly, "What? Didn’t like me choice..stripedog? Gonna fight me or ya, oh I am not a coward, the badger is uh..coward too, and not chasing anyone now"

Zork growls, he coughs not the best idea as he is not top form, "No one..calls me coward." He draws forth his large blade and steps forwards.

Flicktail says, "Oh so you gave up on the Gel..yer smarter then ya look....for whatever life you have left"

Mudfur smirks, he looks at Flicktail as he draws his blades, "Did not say gave up either fox..." He looks at Zork, "Think fast stripdog!" He slices at an angle towards the badger and his other blade goes towards his legs.

Zork is ready for a fight, he blocks one blade and the other makes a faint line of pinkish red on his side, he keeps his balance o the thicking ice and the wind is not helping much.

Flicktail draws his own blade and flanks The Cat ready to advance on him watching Zork's back

Mudfur chuckles coldly and slices at Flicktail, he gets a bit knocked back, and smirks as he stabs at Zork with is 2nd blade.

Zork sidesteps the blade and narrows his eyes, he starts to cough roughly again, not the best time to fight it would seem, he is also slightly off balance as the snow starts falling faster.

Flicktail moves in to protect Zork, he parries the thrust and stands before the badger, his blade for some reason much faster than a normal blade "If you force me to I will kill ya”

The snow and wind get fiercer and stronger as the storm is here now ad wants all to know it too. Snow and Ice, and wind starting to make vision a little bad too.

Mudfur speaks, "Fools!" he grins at the off balance badger, circling the both of them, he slices both blades out. "Been..fun but should go..gonna love winter!" He uses the snow to help, will also cover tracks, “Bye fools!"

Zork goes to block one and the other blade gets him in the side, not deep but he is hurt and his cough is worse, he coughs and tenses up in pain, “Cat...got away...Flicky",He drops his blade and shivers falling some.

Flicktail says, "well I'll take a sick badger over that mangy cat any day"

Zork coughs and allows Flicktail to led him towards the abbey as its closer than Ferravale right now.

Flicktail helps get Zork to shelter.

Zork gets to the infirm with Flicktail's help and coughs and shivers badly, he is tended to, his side bandaged and dry clothing put on and placed under a warm blanket, he still shivers a little and cougs againn.
