Leon lost.
Dirt Road
Mossflower - Dirt Road ---------------------------
Southward, the imposing silhouette of Redwall Abbey is framed against the
sky. The sun's gentle glow bathes the Abbey in a nearly angelic
halo, and the pale crimson of the walls is seen clearly even from such a
distance. Casting a broad shadow on the ground, the Abbey walls rise up,
strong and solid. The road is nearly dwarfed by the structure, as is the
smaller building to the north. Flanking the road, a few scattered trees,
white with snow, offer the transition from the northern forests to the
western grasslands.
Exits: [W]all, [S]outh, [N]orth
Sorrlagg glares,he looks at the vole maid and back to Desotoe again, "You only make it worse killing."
Desotoe smirks, "Don't need anyone saying anything,she was going to go to the abbey, I may have one broken arm but the other still can hold a blade."
Sorrlagg shakes his head and hisses, he then turns to leave, "I am beginning to think I am done with the lot of you"
DoraRose is walking down the road. She slows wheen she notices the creatures. Her footsteps are nearly silent, and she says nothing as she watches to see what is going on. She looks ready to fight if need be.
Desotoe watches the monitor lizard, "Yeah you leave, dont need ya...I have to get back to the abbey, scales."
Sorrlagg keeps walking, "Yeah we will see..."
Sorrlagg travels South along Dirt Road
DoraRose watches the lizard leave, still silent and wary. She glances between the volemaid and Desotoe, her paw gripping her sword, ready to draw.
Desotoe smirks, the volemaid is dead, he turns and then sees the mousemiad out of the corner of his eye and smiles coldly "Well, well,well the mousemaid."
DoraRose draws her sword and twirls it expertly around her paw, then gets into a fighting stance as she asks, "What have you done?"
Desotoe smirks, "Things I only know of and no one else does and I like to keep it that way if ya don't mind." He walks a little closer, "Now you going to behave your self or not behave, maybe we could be good friends, already have one."
DoraRose narrows her eyes. "Friends? Hah! Did you kill that volemaid? What have you done with Leon?" her eyes are flashing, but they're not Bloodwrath pink -- yet.
Desotoe chuckles, "Seems she bumped into a sword. Leon? Oh wait the mouse yeah him I remember him." He glances at the abbey and back to Dorarose, "Nice chatting with you but I should get back to the abbey,before they miss me."
DoraRose isn't letting him get away that easily. Taking a few steps, she holds her swordpoint to Desotoes' throught and growls out, "Move and you're gonna regret it! What have you done with Leon? Answer me!" her eyes now have the slightest pink tinge.
Desotoe looks at the blade and smiles coldly, "Well I was told to be honest, so sure...sent him on a little trip." Hey as far as he knows he is telling the truth, "A trip to the dark forest, should be there by now it was not that slow of a poison."
DoraRose gasps, and her paws begin to shake. Holding the blade point closer to his throught, she says in a hollow voice, "Where did you get the poison?" her lower lip is trembling, and the red of the Bloodwrath is now more distinct.
Desotoe looks at the sword at his thoat and grins, "A monitor, he just left too bad what ya gonna do about it, cry? Get help?"
"Oy!" While this was going on, Chud was patrolling at the edge of the treeline, and when he hears the sound of trouble brewing, he makes a beeline for the road and thrusts himself between the pair, drawing his dirk in his right paw. "Lay off! Both o' ye!"
DoraRose backs off and circles around the otter, trying to get at Desotoe as the Bloodwrath slowly gets more control of her. "He murured my love! Let me at him!" she looks about ready to snap at a moments notice.
Desotoe grins, "You are so so touchie, sides the fox wont believe you, hmms the stripdog may of but..."He smiles coldly and chuckles.
"I sed LAY OFF," Chud yells, quickly moving to intercept the mouse while trying to keep a hold on Desotoe. Both mouse and ferret are a good deal older than him, but he doesn't seem to care. "I don't care WOT 'e did, I won't have coldblood murderin' in moi patrol sectah! Both o'ye drop wotever weapons ye got, NOW!"
DoraRose growls at the otter. "Never!" she ducks under his arm as a tear trickles from her Bloodwrath-tinged eye and down her cheek. "Who is this fox? What badger?" she suddenly demands, putting 2 & 2 together.
Desotoe smirks "My good friend Flicktail, and..." He chuckles coldly, "Oz..and dont think of running off to tell Oz, he is long gone where no one will find him, he not gonna be helping no beast" This makes him laugh harder.
Giving up on the apparently-nutso mousemaid, Chud also would put 2 and 2 together, but he can't count that high. /Ar, wot th' 'eck,/ he thinks, and quickly grabs at Desotoe, shouting, "Yew shuddup roight now! Y'got no cause t' be baitin' 'er."
DoraRose takes her chance and runs so that she is now beside Desotoe. "What have you done to Oz?" she demands, in an 'at ready' stance. Now, if only Chud would let him go so she could attack...
Desotoe barely gets out of the way and smiles coldly, "I did nothing, but I am sure he is having a nice little vacation where he is" He hmms where ever that is he seems unsure as he was knocked out when they left, he smiles coldly "And your be quiet or I tell me boss to kill him too."
"Alright, tha's enough o'dis garbage," Chud mutters as he twirls his dirk, switches it to his left paw, and holds the tip to Desotoe's throat. "Yew shuddup, now!"
DoraRose goes to push Chud out of the way and swings her sword at Desotoe's stomach. "TUSCANIIII!!!" she shouts as the Bloodwrath takes fully control of her. She obviously is not in her right mind right now, being all beserk and everything.
Desotoe takes one look at the mousemaid and does the smart thing, he bolts down the road as quick as he can!
Quickly parrying DoraRose's strike with his dirk, Chud blocks her path to Desotoe. "Stop!" as he watches the ferret flee, he says, "...'e's already gone."
DoraRose is parried and runs into the otter. Pushing him, she glares and says, "You let him get away! How could you?!" She looks like she's either going to break down in tears or attack Chud -- or maybe both.
Wisely backing away and dropping into a fighting crouch, Chud tries to reason with the Bloodwrath mousemaid. "Lissen. I don' care wot 'e did, I ain't gonna let thar be cold killin' on my stretch o' th' lan'. Besoides," he adds with a slight grin, " 'e ain' goin' nowheres."
Grubclaw runs from the north. Panting, he stops and looks around "who... are ya beasts?" he says, his paw on his sword hilt.
DoraRose is still glareing at the otter. "How do you know?" she turns her glare to Grubclaw, looking ready to fight at any time.
Quickly glancing at Grubclaw, Chud says, "Cos there's scouts from Camp Willer everwheres. An' there's nowhere he can run that anybeast can't go. There's only so much o' Mossflower t'hide in."
Grubclaw draws his sword "I said who are ya two?" he looks tired.
DoraRose goes back into an 'at ready' stance. "I am DoraRose Strongheart. Who are you?"
Clapping his free paw to his brow, Chud realizes that he and DoraRose haven't met either. To both her and Grubclaw he says, "Chud Streambattle," then adds to the stoat, "An' whoi 'r you askin?"
Grubclaw backs up "becuz, I don' whan' ta be atacked by more crazy Woodlanders..."
Sheathing his dirk and holding up his paws, Chud says, "/I/ ain' crazy, but I dunno 'bout 'er," indicating DoraRose. He narrows his eyes. "An' 'ow would knowin' our names tell ye if we're crazy'r'not?"
DoraRose turns back to Chud, exclaiming, "I'm not crazy! If anybeast is, it's you for letting Desotoe go!" the Bloodwrath is almost gone from her eyes.
Grubclaw puts his weapon away, too. "Uh... umm... ta see if ya attacked me, which ya didn't..." he says keeping an eye on the mouse.
"So that's wot th' barve's name wos." Chud shrugs and turns to DoraRose. "Seriously. He cudden defen' hisself. Wot kinda beast'r'yew if'n y'kill loike tha'?"
DoraRose fully turns to Chud and actually stamps her foot. "He could too! He killed that volemaid!" she points to the body ditch. If she's going to attack anybody, it's going to be the otter.
Grubclaw asks, "what volemaid?"
"I durnno." Chud backs away from the mousemaid further, saying, "Lissen. I don' wanna foight ye. Wudden be good for either of us."
DoraRose bites her lip and closes her eyes. After a few moments she opens them again and sheaths her sword, murmering, "Sorry, I'm just on really tight nerves."
Grubclaw looks at her "ya sure yar no' crazy?
Nodding understandingly, Chud returns to his previous position. " 's foine, if I'd 'a' known that scum wos killin' liddle 'uns, I wud've gone arfter 'im, too."
DoraRose crosses her arms and nods. "I need to go to Redwall...Benar will want to know what's happened." She suddenly looks very tired.
Grubclaw says, "umm...what is at Redwall?"
Scratching his head, Chud says, with not even a hint of sarcasm, "Um...lemme see...ye gots a gate...pond...couple o'big red walls..."
DoraRose frowns at the otter, then sighs. "I'm afraid I need to go. Good day." she starts to walk south.
Chud follows her wihtout explanation.
Grubclaw says, "hoh... umm...I'm coming withya two!"
They went to Redwall, Chud left, DoraRose sent a messege to Benar then left to go back to Ferravale, and I don't know what Grubclaw did. Also, ICly, Leon is alive, it's just, at the time of this RP, most everybody thought he was dead. :) Thanks for reading!
