Jake finds Muenster

Jake is out on patrol and is only a short distance from the abbey, he looks around and seeing a vixen ahead he speeds up to get closer to her, he has his longbow and a couple arrows in the quiver as stops “Alright just ask once, where is Muenster and don’t lie you work for him and you even admitted to it.”

Jazmyne is on the side of the road and looks up as she sees the hare and glares at him. ”Yeah so, and none ya business now go way.”

Jake stands his ground “No..just give me an answer.”

A clocked figure walks up the road and walks more slowly so that he is behind the hare.

Jake shakes his head, "Enough of this answer the question where is Muenster!"

Jazmyne stays silent as she watches Jake, she looks over his shoulder at a cloaked figure but remains silent.

Muenster slips behind the hare and draws his sword, he uses the hit and proceeds to go to knock him out.

Jake doesn’t see Muenster and the sword hilt gets him as he groans and is knocked out cold and slumps to the dirt road he stirs slightly.

Muenster picks up the hare and smirks "DO hares swim well my love or badly?"

Jazmyne frowns as she is not so sure of this "I..I don’t know, there isn’t any water to drop him in much right now, maybe just let him go."

Muenster grins "Then he would confirm I am back, can’t have that can we love, sides he needs a bath"

Jazmyne frowns at this idea “Bath?...ummm look why kill him,he..could just be tied up."

Muenster grins evil and gets out his rope tieing the hares paws behind his back “Good idea love, you have the best ideas so glad ya work for me and not the goodie goods. “He also places a gag on the hare’s mouth and looks northwards “Ta the river?”

Jazmyne frowns “Not interested I will be at the den.” She walks off.

Muenster nods “Suit ya self dear..” he heads to the bridge and once there drops the hare and kicks Jake in the side.

Jake starts to stir some.

Muenster slaps him awake and grins into his face.

Jake shakes his head as he is rudely awoken, he glares at the fox and tries to say something to find the gag on his mouth and paws behind his back, he glares more at the fox.

Muenster smiles coldly "So nice to see you awake, you ask too many questions and so I was thinking how to do this, this is a fun idea" He holds him over the river where it’s clear very thin ice is and smirks “Can ya swim? oh may be bit hard with the rope huh?"

Jake glares, he looks down and starts to try and get loose, he manages to get the gag loose from his mouth “Release me vermin!"

Muenster smiles coldly "Poor choice of words “He lets go of the hare and smirks “Have fun"

Jake frowns, ok that was a bad idea, he falls and hits the ice, he tries to move and get his arms free of the ropes and starts to panic a little as he can’t get anywhere but down right now.

Muenster smirks as he watches and starts laughing insanely.

Jake tries not to panic, which is a bit hard right now as he is tied up and not able to move his arms very well, he tries to get his arms free and even tries to purposely get slammed into the bridge pole, he is dazed and now his shoulder hurts but he can get loose better.

Muenster watches from the shoreline for any sign of the hare.

Jake manages to somehow get to the surface but is shaking an cold.

Muenster watches and growls low “How in the !" He gets his blade and starts to go out where the water is and taps it with his footpaw.

Jake shivers and watches the fox, he frowns.."Walking out ta finish me off..bad..b..bally well idea"

Muenster growls and edges closer and stops as its clear its thinner and no way is he going under.

Jake watches the fox and holds his shoulder, the rope is still somewhat on him but fairly loose now, he tries to move somewhat away and the ice cracks a little more, he gulps.

Muenster ears go flat, he can't get to the hare and this annoys him, he then smiles coldly, he raises his sword and tries to break part of the ice in front of him, he is on the thicker part so he isn’t worried.

Jake watches some ice crack closer to him and stops moving, his shoulder is injured, he is tangled up in rope that was on his paws and he can't swim, he tries to hold back any panicking as that would make this worse.

Muenster growls "Why can’t ya just die hare!"

Jake moves slowly and tries to get to the thicker ice when more cracks and he starts to sink, he grabs ahold of the ice he was on and parts of it break, he panics as he goes under water once but resurfaces and coughs and shivers, holding on best he can on ice.

A little further up the road, still out of sight of the bridge, Aeris is out for a walk. The winter weather's not been quite as bad lately, so her leg's been doing better. She's not got much of a limp, but still walks with her javelin used as a staff. She is completely unaware of the fight ahead.

Muenster smiles coldly at this and backs off, he is not stupid and he chuckles dryly "You can’t hold on forever hare."

Jake uses all the strength he has left to try and pull himself up, he sinks again and manages to rid him of the annoying rope and gets onto the ice again just barely and lays down, shivering and not moving much.

Aeris is nearly within sight of the two, and frowns as she can hear some words, but can't understand what's being said.

Muenster watches the hare and smiles coldly “Water this time of year just a little cold, maybe your learn not ta mess with me, I love ta stay and watch you but I have some big plans"

Jake listens to the fox as he scoots little forwards and then just seems to give up and lay there as he is.

Aeris moves slightly faster now, trying to load her sling and hold onto her javelin at the same time.

Muenster slides forwards to try and get closer to the hare, he grins at him.. "Maybe should just finish this before I GO."

Jake looks up at Muenster he tries to carefully get up some and slides bumping his chin on the ice and his vision gets all fuzzy.. he is out of energy.

Aeris thinks she can make out what one of the voices is saying, and it makes her hurry along, now moving at a brisk jog as she comes right up to the two, stopping as she sees them, "What the..?"

Muenster smirks and lays a footpaw on Jake to shove him back into the ice filled river and sees the otter maid and stops, he smiles coldy at her "Well well..hello, miss me? “He twirls his blade.

Jake reaches for the fox's footpaw, he is completely out of energy now, and gives a weak groan as he passes out, luckily still on the ice.

Aeris growls, "Yer supposed ta be dead." she spins her sling over her head, most likely still too far to hit him with any accuracy, but she's too mad to care, "Do ah have ta put you down again?"

Muenster watches her "Dead?..no see I live, and you may not live too much longer, but I have other plans, interrupt...you die, just like the hare...who will hopefully die."

Jake coughs, he tries to get up again and causes the ice to crack some so he stays still trying to figure out the best way to get off the ice.

"Not if I have anythin' ta say about it!" she yells as she releases the sling stone at him. While it will most likely miss horribly, it'll give her time to move in with her javelin.

Muenster ducks the stone and backs up, he eeeps as his footpaw goes under and quickly moves forwards and to the shore, he raises his paw, claws out and slices at the otters face.

Jake is half here and half not right now, he scoots closer to the shore best he can and finally makes it, he tries to stand and looks for his longbow, he frowns as its a few feet away and he is very very unsteady right now.

Aeris carried forward by the momentum of slippery ice, Aeris slides right into the slash, which leaves a few claw marks on her face as she muffles a scream and stab out blindly, holding her eye. The cuts are not deep, but there's already blood flowing onto her cheek.

Muenster chuckles coldly, and moves, he goes to swing his blade.

Jake grabs ahold of a tree and tries to get the longbow, he stands slowly and tries to take aim but servers pain causes him to drop the bow and the arrow slams into a tree as she holds his shoulder, its dislocated from earlier and he is not able to fire off very well.

Aeris does manage to dodge the sword swipe, and drops to her knees, swinging sideways with the javelin at Muensters, legs.

Muenster has his legs caught by the Javelin and falls backwards, he growls and looks at them both as he stands and quickly uses the fog by the river to help him and makes his way down river "You win, but not next time, oh no next time I watch ya die!"

Aeris manages to get to her feet, and then over to Jake, sliding uncertainly. "Yew alright Jake?" after a few seconds she frowns, "Who am I kidding, of course yer not." She reaches down to try and get him to his feet, or at the very least drag him off the thin ice.

Jake allows the help, he speaks "Shoulder...dislocated, and he bruised me up.."He coughs and shivers "And..water is cold.." he has some rope burns on his paws. He is off the ice now at least and wet, some water froze on him"c..c.c.old"

Aeris gives him a sorrowful smile, "Yeah, I bet." As she lifts him up to put him over her shoulder she says, "C'mon Jake, let's get yew home." unsteadily she makes her way off the ice, and unsteadily she uses her javelin to pick her way back down the road to the abbey, grunting with the exertion of carrying him.

Jake allows the help and sighs, too tried to protest.."Got to tell..Tristan, fox might co..come after you."

Aeris nods, "I'll take care of it," she reassures him, "And that damned fox," she mutters. "Right now we jus' need ta get yew warm and dry at the abbey."

---To the Abbey---

Jake shivers as they make their way to the abbey and inside, he looks around only about half awake.

The few healers around look up in surprise, "Jake? Are you okay?" one of them, a small mouse maid, asks worriedly. Aeris comes in just behind him, having taken the time to trade her javelin for the staff she's forced to use while at Redwall.

Jake lets himself get dry clothing and lays down on the cot in front of him, he tenses up as they touch his shoulder, and wraps a blanket around himself best he can with one good paw. He coughs a little and still shivers slightly.

Aeris moves to stand over him, giving him a calm smile, "They're gonna fix yew up, alright? Jus' old still an' let 'em work, yew'll be okay. Just need some rest and warmth mostly." She steps back so the healers can go about their work unhindered.

Jake lets them help and lets out a loud yelp as his shoulder is reset as it was dislocated, he groans as they basically check for cuts and bruises and other wounds and then decide to back off and allow him to lay down "n..need get back on the wall"

Aeris snorts, "Ah admire yer sense of duty, but yew need rest, mate! I'll take yer shift on tha wall tonight, yew jus' rest easy."

Jake nods "Need to still let Tristan know about this...the fox, “He sneezes and sighs, a healer speaks softly "It may be few days till you ummm...can use the Longbow." Jake frowns at this.."Wot!" He sighs and closes his eyes as the healer goes on "Needs time to heal, wasn’t broken but, was out of place and will be swollen couple days do rest it please, maybe stand in couple days but not with bow for maybe a week

Aeris raises an eyebrow skeptically, "He's my brother Jake, and I see him just about every day. He'll hear about this, if not from yew from me." she turns to the healer, "Thank you very much Sister Marigold."."

Jake nods " Alright...guess should listen to the healer." He sneezes and still looks cold but has warmed up a lot now, his wet tunic on a chair, he has a dry one on.

Aeris smiles at him "Get some sleep Jake," she continues, half under her breath "If the fox is back, yew'll need it."

Dag Pads quietly into the recovery room, he had been on his way to the bunk room for the night when he had overheard voices drifting from the infirmary so he decide to step in and see what was going on. He stops just past the door leaving room for the novices to work as he attempts to see what’s going on in here.

Jake nods slowly and let’s sleep over take him.
