Nightfur's Hideout:Main Room

Once inside you see a well made hideout, the walls are made of strong stone and so is the floor, the doors have very strong locks on them, nothing can claw or dig it's way in or out. A set of stairs leads up or down, and another couple doors have an infirm and a meeting room.

Exits: [St]airs, [O]ut

Oak slowly walks into the room with a grin on his face. "Hello, you must be Nightfur, my name is Kao. I am interested in purchasing a slave" He pulls a bag from his cloak. "I have...sufficient funds I assure you"

Nightfur turns, he has already had a bad day and a snap of his fingers Kao is surrounded, "Buy a slave..you and how did you find this place?"

Oak shrugs. "Found it by 'ppenstance I guess, I was traveling through the woods on me way south, when I 'appened upon 'yer fortress" He places the bag of gold on a table. "One of 'de guards told me 'dis place was a slaver 'eadquarters, so I thought 'te meself, why not buy a slave. I could use one 'te work 'fer me and my associates"

Nightfur folds his arms over his chest, "A squirrel?" He smirks "Well well, guess some of ya woodies aren’t too bad after all, then I mostly hate otters, killed one just a short while ago so..what you looking to buy?"

Oak laughs. "Can say I like Otters much meself. But 'de scum of 'de Earth, those are 'de 'ares...they gobble up everythin' and leave nuddin' in 'der wake" He shrugs. "Doesn't have 'te be too strong, average build would be fine. Just enough to do work, I already have friends that do the 'eavy liftin' 'fer me. So what do you got in 'de the way o' 'dat?"

Nightfur thinks "Not too strong, a lot of those slaves aren’t too strong. Mice, otters, couple dibbuns...now strong side, yeah dar some there also"

Oak nods. "Sounds good, I could use someone like 'dat. Could you show me?"

Nightfur snorts, he has the two rats bring in a couple mice and a hamster, "I have..plans for some others, not for sale yet from the abbey"

Oak rubs his chin. "Yes I 'unnerstand. Wouldn't want 'de abbey beasts gettin' loose if 'ye had any....'dem beasts are crazy and once one of 'dem gets loose 'de 'udders will come in droves" He grins at a weasel. "And 'ye gotta watch out for those 'ares mate, 'dell eat you out of 'ouse and 'ome" He continues to examine the slaves and points to the Hamster. "'Dat one looks good and 'ealthy. Could use 'im for some work and look at 'dem teeth. He could chew through rope, I could use a beast like 'dat" He turns to Nightfur. "'ow Much?"

The Hamster growls. "You're not buying me, traitor Squirrel! I'll rot in hell's gates first"

Nightfur nods as he has a rat get the hamster, " 25 gold."

Oak smiles. "Feisty one ain't 'ee?" He hands Nightfur the gold. "Deal, it was nice 'dealin' wid ye" Oak grabs the hamster and walks off, dragging the biting hamster in chains. "Bloody 'ells gates, ye'll learn 'te keep 'yer teeth out of me!" Oak walks off down the path and as soon as he is out of eye and earshot of the fortress grins. "Nice job, me friend". He hands him the rest of the gold, about 60 pieces of it "You deserve it for all 'de things I put 'ye through, now let’s get 'te Ferravale....'dem slavers are more fools 'den I thought"

The hamster nods and follows Oak quickly.

Nightfur watches him leave and luckily doesn’t hear the squirrel speak or he would most likely be full of arrows, he turns to check on other slaves and drag the rest he brought out back to their cells

*****3 days Later at the Abbey Entrance, Oak finds Scioto  ***

In the Shadows of a tree, a very familiar squirrel is sitting, eating an apple, waiting for a certain cat to arrive in the entryway.

Scioto walks slowly, why he decided the abbey was best he has no clue, he has a knapsack on his back and a very still otter, Powell, in his arms. The cat has a good size slash on his lower right arm and...he is limping.

Starlight is unseen, hiding in the knapsack, unseen for now.

Oak climbs down the tree. "It’s about time 'ye got here, I've been waiting hours fer' you" He smiles. "I have information"

Scioto eyes go to the voice and he groans deeply, "Info?..what sort ya annoying.." He leans on the doorway and hands Powell to a guard "Need..first need..Lee or Benar..both and healer wouldn’t hurt."

Lee is up on the wall top

Starlight whimpers, the cat is grumpy again so in the knapsack she stays.

Oak smiles. "Very well, tell when 'yer ready to 'ear 'de information" He takes a bite out of the apple. "I've got all day, well not really, but 'oo's keeping track"

Scioto frowns sliding down the wall, the knapsack forgotten till he feels movement and takes it off and groans, a novice has a healer check Scioto’s arm wound as he glares at Oak "Start..talking annoying.." He growls a little and frowns, "Unless it’s where the weasel went..ouch"

Oak laughs. "Weasels? No I don't know anythin' aboot no weasels. But I have information about a certain fox.....by 'de name of Nightfur" He smiles. "I found 'de location of his base three days ago, and marked it on 'dis map"

Lee comes down from the wall top. "Wot be goin' on 'ere?"

Benar walks down just behind Lee, the squirrel staying on the steps and looking around, "If you have any information Oak it will be welcome. We can compile it with the information we already have from Flamefur and see how close to the truth she was talking."

Scioto is curious now, "Ready..well I found 3 things of interest." He opens a side pocket on the knapsack and pulls out unused cross bolts with bards on them and a blade, Bandits blade, "Found these by the bridge" The healer finishes bandaging his arm and heads off. “And.."

Starlight is in the knapsack, and the top closed on her, yes she can breathe but she hears friends "Out..out..out!" She spoke? That’s new at least to the abbey.

Scioto frowns "A weasel got away with a hare and...two hedgehogs, sorry"

Oak frowns. "Is that Marek's bolts?" He has a rather serious look on his face. "If Nightfur is dangerous enough 'te 'ave captured Marek, perhaps I should have killed 'em while I was 'derr"

Benar stares at the Knapsack and pushes past Scioto, "Scioto! Why do you have someone in there, who is that?" He hurries over toward the Ferravale leader.

Scioto frowns, "So could carry an otter, which leads to bad news and the flap fell over it when placed it down, he takes off the flap, fairly easy to do.

Lee asks, "Wot bad news?"

Starlight shakes her head, she was fine inside and it was sort of fun, till the idea of almost being trapped scared her, she first sees Benar and smiles wide.

Oak nods. "Well, I must be goin' too many people isn't my style unless I'm in a battle" He lays the map down. "Feel free 'te use 'dis....I'll be around if 'ye need me"
