Leave This Camp!

Ebony has just finished having a meeting with what’s left of her small group. 4 Rats if you count Darkflower and a ferret.

Morgan comes into the camp, with him two rats that seem mainly loyal to him “Well the captives have escaped, do you know how much gold we lost cause of that?”

Ryker looks over at Morgan, “It could have been worse I suppose.”

Ebony places her paws on her hips “It’s mainly your fault, you are out of control Morgan and I didn’t tell you to go off and do anything, we lost 2 rats and Patch fur is dead as well and one rat is hurt, but being tended to by our healer.

Morgan looks like he is peeved, “I was out looking for beasts to enslave, think of the gold we could get, the wealth..more than just robbery and stealing. We could of got a lot of gold for a Redwall Abbey Brother, or do you not care on gold anymore Ebony. In fact maybe it’s time for new leadership, get some things done around here. First take care of a badger, any badger they all need dead if they come across my path. Two…take care of deserters, like Thorn”

Ryker stays where he is and listens as he sharpens his daggers on a sharping stone.

Darkflower sits on a stump, she rarely talks it seems but is a great fighter when it comes time to fight she shows her skills well.

Ebony narrows her eyes “I am still leader of the silent blades and you will not touch Thorn, if you do you will die by my paw. I rarely kill any beast but in this case I will kill, trust me”

The wildcat laughs and smirks , “We will see and I don’t have to touch her to kill her my dear I am a skilled assassin."

Ryker shrugs “Takes more than just skill, you have to have good smarts and know when to back away and when to fire an arrow or dart, timing is always right and sometimes you may have to aim and have tried paws for a couple hours, then quickly take the chance as it may only last a mere second and close again for who knows how long.”

Morgan glares at the ferret “I know this you fool” He looks back to Ebony, “I do what I want when I want”

Ebony narrows her eyes again, “Out, your gone from the silent blades and are no longer a part of my group and if you are seen the others have my permission to kill you on sight.”

Darkflower makes a mental note of this, otherwise she is bored.

Ryker folds his arms over his chest and watches the wildcat “And like you I hide well, maybe even better than you and I also don’t have to touch to kill, I can kill without being seen with a well-placed arrow or dart and the perfect aim to kill instantly, with or without the aid of poison, keep that in mind Morgan. Also keep in mind when someone threatens a child, their mother can be a very dangerous beast to have nearby them, and if said beast kills the mothers child….pity on your poor soon to be dead as well soul”

Morgan grins “As you wish Ebony, you have made a bad mistake this day. I bid you..farewell” With that he turns and simplely walks out of the camp, one very loyal to him rat follows, the other choices to stay with the silent blades.

Ebony hisses low, she studies the rat that stays and watches Morgan leave with the other rat. She turns to the rat that stayed “I thank you for staying, you will get a promotion for this. Head guard of the camp”

The rat smiles at this and bows “Thank you Ebony”

Ebony nods and starts to head back into her tent, but she stops and looks out into the woods and frowns, it’s a risk but she has to warn her daughter, she gives orders to stay at the camp and then heads off to the abbey. Yes she can’t stand the place but it’s only to help her daughter and nothing else, the abbey beasts still need to fear the Silent Blades on the road, she makes sure she has her weapons, some armor and then heads off.

--Redwall Gates--

Ebony left shortly after Morgan did and arrives by the gates and right away knows it was most likely a bad idea, "I only came to talk, I have no weapons drawn as you can see" She places her paws up to show this.

Thorn is on the wall tops and looks down to see what’s going on with the guards and frowns right away at the sight she sees and backs up a little as the guards ask questions "Ask what?" Another nods "Yes you fit the deception of one who caused trouble yesterday"

Morgan has been in the woods and he climbs into a tree with his brown cloak on, leaves are still on the trees a good bit so he can hid well and is a deadly aim with his longbow and has been known to fire an arrow several feet.

Zork is helping make sure the gate repair is going good and pokes his head out, he folds his arms over his chest, "What do you want?" He looks at Ebony.

Ebony looks at the badger “Just to speak to one known as Thorn, a quick message and then I will leave you in peace I do not plan harm to this abbey I am alone in fact."

Thorn peers down over the wall but stays quiet as she doesn’t want any beast to know she is out here when she is supposed to be in class right now.

Morgan does see her and takes aim carefully as he waits for the right moment to fire his arrow, he is a little further away than he would like to be but still he aims carefully and then fires off the arrow watching as it sails, but sadly it hits a couple feet further down the wall and to this he cusses and about falls out of his tree.

Zork answers Ebony" I will not bring her to you, give me the message and I will deliver it.." He looks up when the arrow bounces off the wall and the two guards on duty become super alert now as he growls and glares at the Ebony "Alone huh..sure looks like it"

Ebony frowns, she then catches a brief look at Thorn and frowns, she looks at the guards and Zork "I -AM- alone your.." She stops herself before the wrong word comes pouring out, hearing the cussing she frowns "Morgan..he is after Thorn, he is no longer part of my group as I have kicked him out of it"

Thorn eeeps loudly and quickly is half way down the other side of the wall down the stairs shivering a little, even if it wasn’t too close she still disliked it. She looks up still curious as to what’s going on, but also a little worried so she walks down to try and peek out the gate instead if she can.

Morgan decides to get out of the tree, since he was heard and smirks "Gee who to kill I hate you both!" He says between Zork and Ebony, he grins and choices as he shoots who is closer and that happens to be Ebony, he fires off his arrow and starts to back off.

Ebony starts to react to Morgan, she knew he was here just not where till now. It’s one of those slow motion things that for real takes a brief second to happen, the arrow comes towards her just when she goes to move and sinks into her collar bone and causes her to stumble backwards, she doesn’t move as to not bump the arrow, nor does she speak even if she has a few wonder choice words for the wildcat, moving could mean life or death right now with that arrow hit.

Zork sees the wildcat and as the arrow hits Ebony the guards start to draw weapons against the wildcat, the badger looks at Ebony real quick and then Morgan, “Bad move there kitty"

Thorn hears all the noise and peaks around the leg of one of the guards, she then screams loudly and tries to run outside to either kick the cat or get to Ebony.

Morgan smiles coldly "Do you want to fight me? Come fight me here on the road. I lose I will go away, you lose...well the answer will be enjoyable for me." He draws his long sword.

Zork looks very willing to fight, but also knows he can't. He goes to grab Thorn and lift her up "No no lass, you need to be inside not out here" He frowns at the guards on duty who is keeping a close eye on the wildcat which is probably better anyways right now as he keeps ahold of Thorn.

Thorn wiggles and kicks to try and get free, "Let me go! He shot my mom, let me go!" She screams again and then gives up just sort of looking down at the ground.

Ebony is alive but still holding very still right now.

Morgan smirks "So, fighting me or ya a coward stripedog? You even seemed unwilling to fight the first time we meet."

Zork frowns and whispers to Thorn "I am sorry lass." He keeps a good grip on her just in case still as he looks at the wildcat, "Leave Morgan.." He lets out a snarl as the name is said and takes a deep breath repeating "Leave Morgan or the guards will make you leave"

Thorn just looks down, she is not trying to get loose again, least right now she isn’t.

Morgan grins, "Oh that’s fine, I will leave...for now. But this is not over for either of you beasts" He then walks off into the woods.

.

Zork watches the wildcat leave and makes sure the guards don’t let Thorn run off, unless it’s into the abbey and walks over to check on Ebony. He speaks to the guards "You guy..guys need to let Lee know about this.." The guards nod.

Ebony looks at the badger, she hasn't lost much blood as most was stopped by the arrow, now removing it will need skilled paws or it could be dangerous, she may be able to be moved if one is very very careful with her.

Thorn is escorted inside looking very worried.

Zork goes to very gently lift the rat up as to not bump the arrow in her collarbone and moves slowly which right now is not an issue for him and heads to the infirmary.

Ebony allows this, not that she has much of a choice in the matter.
