Marek takes over Redwall (Marek's Revenge TP) P.S. Better fix those Gates
RW Abbey: Main Gate
You are at the main entrance into Redwall Abbey. The gates are a a massive, double-doored wooden affair, reinforced with iron, and with a heavy latch and crossbar on the inside to prevent would-be invaders. While the gates almost always stand open, you get the impression that the builder of this portal designed it to be nigh impregnable. The entrance arch is amazingly thick, denoting the strength and thickness of the ancient walls themselves, which, despite the upheavals of the past, and numerous cracks present in the rose colored stone, still stand tall and strong. Uncountable pawprints can be seen in the dirt, leading both in and out of the Abbey. Along the bottom of the wall on either side of the arch, weeds and wildflowers can be seen in plenty.
It is dark, though torches have been lit on either side of the gate to light your way inside. Things are quiet apart from the occasional buzz of night insects. The walls are a darker shadow against the sky.--------------------------------------------------------------------Are you a newcomer to Redwall?

Exits: [Enter] the abbey, [R]ight Along [W]all, [L]eft Along [W]all, [R]oad
A cloud of dust arrives on the horizon, and over the next few minutes it gets slowly bigger, 10, 50, 100, 500, well more, countless vermin come into focus, and at the hilt is Marek, sword drawn, ready to strike against Redwall, but not striking yet. "Greetings, as you can see Redwallers, you are outnumbered. Surrender now and you will not have to endure any losses, if you don't, I'm afraid I shall have to fight you"
Stormbreeze is one of the many vermin with Marek and stands close by a few rats, her own blade as she waits orders.
Scioto has already known there was trouble from earlier and was able to get a few together to help Redwall, some he left at Ferravale of course, just in case. But he does have his chainmail armor on and looks ready for battle when it comes.
Lorimis walks up the steps slowly, the elderly Abbot moving slowly, his walking cane tap, tap tapping on the stone until he can stand up in one of the crenallations above the great Western Gate and look down at the stoat and his army of vermin spread out on the western plain. "Why have you come Marek? Redwall Abbey has no quarrel with you... depart."
Lee steps up to the walls and looks down at Marek with cold hate in his eyes, the head guard ready to fight.
Zork has been looking for Lorimis all day, he hears the noise and quickly dashes up the wall top and frowns, Well that explains his dream now...' He leaves only long enough to get his blade, he already had armor on from earlier and stays close to Lorimis.
Ekon is watching from some treetops as his tail flicks, he scans all the vermin on the road and grips his ax, but has yet to show himself.
Leon stays on the main area of the abbey, he looks up at the wall tops and frowns 'What’s going on?"
Marek laughs. "No quarrel, Mr. Abbot, I would beg to differ, since my men have obtained your precious sword" He pauses. "But that doesn't matter, what matters is my plan, to take Redwall and secure Mossflower once and for all. And you will fall, this is sure"
Stormbreeze chuckles, not a friendly chuckle either it’s one of those evil is about to happen sort of laughs, but she waits still for any order to attack.
Scioto glares at Marek but stays quiet for now, he lets Lorimis do the talking as this is the abbey after all.
Lorimis sighs and rubs a trembling paw over his fore head then squares his shoulders and stands tall, "Redwall and Mossflower are secure Marek. Secure from beasts like you who wish only to enslave and rule. This is Redwall Abbey... you can kill me, kill my Brothers and Sisters but we are out there," He points, "We are abroad in the world and Redwall walks with us. Our name is whispered from the halls of the King of Southsward to the ice blasted wastes of the furthest north. From the islands of the Western Sea to the utmost east. You may take these walls, claim our buildings and sound our bells in your evil cause but you shall not hold it. No vermin has attacked these gates and not fallen to justice, to honor, to righteousness. I urge all of you here to turn, to walk away, live blameless, peaceful lives far from our walls. If you follow Marek then before Summer is half done he will have led you to destruction for Redwall's spirit shall endure and you shall all fall."
Lee stays quiet but is ready for Marek should the stoat not leave.
Zork stays beside Lorimis and keeps an eye on Marek as his horde, the guards of the abbey are also very alert, the badger manages to hold back a deep growl.
Ekon makes a chitterling sound, in other trees is his tribal warriors and they are here to help the abbey and fight Marek.
Leon frowns, he doesn’t climb the steps to the wall tops, one he hates it up there or anywhere high and too if he is needed they can have him go up there and he would, he goes to alert others to trouble
Marek blinks. "Enslave? On the contrary, Slavery is not a tenant I agree with. Rule? Yes, I shall rule over all of Mossflower. Find back if you must, leave if you must, but I will have what is rightfully mine" He points his sword towards the abbey. "If you will not surrender then we have no choice but to.....fightt!!!!'
Stormbreeze prepares to attack, did he say attack now? Either way she is ready to fight any guards who dare get to close to her as one looks ready to fight her, another is a little worried looking, probably his first day as guard..what fun.
Scioto stands ready, "And if the abbey will need to fight I am here to fight alongside the abbey beasts and help them win against you Marek'
Lorimis sighs and steps back, "I warned you Marek..... I warned you all.." He then moves behind Zork and starts for the steps, head bowed. "I hand the defense of the abbey to you Flicktail." He says to the champion who nods and starts to give orders to the guards. Archers moving forward on the walls, knocking arrows, preparing. The Abbot retreats down the steps slowly moving toward the open ground whilst Redwall prepares to defend itself.
Lee nods to the Redwall archers “Fire!” They fire their arrows at the horde beasts below.
Zork starts to follow Lorimis and then looks at one of the guards, "You make sure Lorimis stays safe" The guard nods and goes to follow Lorimis.
Ekon tail flicks back and forth, his warriors are ready to fight and fight now if need be, Ekon gives the single to wait, he will choice the time to attack horde beasts.
Leon frowns he stays nearby in case a healer is needed, he does whisper something to Lorimis real quick before looking back at the gates.
Marek fights his way through several beasts while others seem to take arrows for him, though he does dodge quite a few. He finds himself in a sword duel with a very determined ferret but ultimately wins. He orders his men to pull in a large wooden battering ram.
Stormbreeze grins and rushes toward an otter guard as the two fights, some rats fire off their own arrows as makes since Marek would have archers as well. The otter guard fights fairly well and does inure the wildcat on her arm but she manages to get a fatal move in and smirks.
Scioto grips his blade and gives an order for his fighters to attack, he is on the road, as is his forces from Ferravale. He starts a fight with a weasel.
Flicktail rallies the guards as best he can, archers on the wall firing arrow after arrow as the Abbey guard remain firmly inside the Abbey walls. Most of them are on the walls using slings and arrows to try to keep Marek's army at bay. With Scioto's forces outside there is some hope they can keep the abbey walls from being breached. But with this many numbers arrayed against them their only hope is to keep the walls clear and the gates intact.
Lorimis meanwhile backs further from the walls, standing on the steps of the Main Abbey as the bells cry their alarm out over the woods, their plea for help. Come they sing... come Redwall needs you.... freedom needs you.
Zork grips his blade, he is here to fight if they do get inside he is ready as he goes ahead down the steps and to the entry, he also makes sure guards are ready down here as well.
Ekon gives his order and his squirrels attack a few nearby ferrets and rats of Marek’s horde, he himself jumps on the back of a rat and brings his ax down and they fall, he scans the area and then attacks a rat.
Leon does a quick check of his surcoat he wears now and goes to help a wounded guard, and then a 2nd guard that’s wounded , for now staying out of harm’s way.
Marek gasps as more enemies suddenly appear and orders the battering ram to immediately be used without mercy. Scioto's forces seem to be taking a decent number of his beasts, but Marek remains confident, the number of archers on the wall having severely diminished, but the archers on the surface still being a threat.
Stormbreeze fights one of the squirrels and hisses low, she looks at the gates as she has her own reasons to get inside also, she then stabs the squirrel she was fighting and laughs.
Scioto keeps fighting, a few of his fighters have fallen but others fight on, the chieftain of Ferravale fights with a fox from Marek’s horde and a stoat at the same time, getting a little tired but fighting still. He has a wound on his arm but not a bad one.
The gates shudder as Marek's forces bring the battering ram forward. The archers above the parapet are trying their best to hit the beasts holding them but a surprise attack from a group of Marek's archers hidden in the ditch feather them and they drop! Once... twice the battering ram slams into the gates. They are big and old and sturdy but they creak alarmingly as the third strike hits it. Flicktail is shouting for the guards to rally before the gates, sending more beasts to join Zork as order beasts from the infirmary under Leon's command try to reach some of the wounded. The bells stop ringing as the beasts in the bell-tower abandon it and move swiftly toward the gates. It is not going well for the abbey's defenses. Marek's tactic of hiding a squadron of archers in the ditch and out of sight has caught the Abbey guards by surprise and the battering ram has free reign to keep hammering at the gates and with a heart wrenching shriek of metal one of the mighty hinges is ripped free and the gates begin
Zork nods to the guards beside him and a couple others who fight well, he makes sure the healers and Leon are keep safe if the gates do break open.
Ekon stands his ground, he may be old but he fights well and zigs and zags threw the fighters, he trips one of the ferrets and looks back, his couple dozen tribe beasts have lost maybe 6 beasts so far.
Leon tends to a wounded mouse guard and finishes bandaging his side, he frowns as one of the novice healers are unable to help one beast in time and sighs but he can’t let it get to him, he is in healer mode right now.
Marek frowns when the battering ram itself breaks on its 3rd ram into the wall. "WHO DESIGNED THIS? I SHALL HAVE THEIR HEAD!!!!" His further ramblings are interrupted by Three Ferrets and a mouse who engage him in an intense battle
Stormbreeze fights her way through a couple mice that have come out, she looks towards where Scioto is trying to head towards him, course some of those annoying Ferravale fighters are in her way.
Scioto finishes his fight with a fox and stoat and tries to catch his breath as some of his fighters go on fighting, he watches the fighting trying to judge whom is winning.
A large amount of stoats wield a steel battering ram into place, with evil grins on their faces. "Try to defend against this!" They yell as they begin slamming it into the gates, with wood splintering at every connection.
Lorimis watches from the steps as the assault on the gates seems to stop... for a moment there is a respite and the guards are able to re-group and shift along the walls. Firing down on the attackers, trying to give some assistance to the guards. Then that steel ram is brought up and slams into the gates... Lorimis jumps and turns back to stare in shock. Once... twice that thing hits the mighty gates. Already weakened by the previous ram this new device slams into the ancient gates of Redwall a third time and the left hand gate, the one with the broken hinge falls backwards into the abbey. It smashes into the ground, a pile of rubble and mangled metal and the neck hit from the ram smashes the remaining gate back against the stone wall. Redwall's gates have fallen.
RW Abbey: Entry
You stand on a grassy sward between two cottages. To the south you see a small, calm pond. To the north lies an open space where the Abbey has its feasts in the warmer seasons. To the east is the Great Hall, a massive structure that rises far above the abbey walls and is completed with large towers that pierce upwards into the sky. The main building is completed with a large, iron banded door that would allow one into the Great Hall.
The blanket of snow is replaced with the vibrant greens of spring. Newly sprung flowers and young shoots dot the path. They hold a promise of color and enhancement. The earth is relatively dry here, and the soil rich for growing, but muddy patches of dirt still can be found. Many Abbeybeasts can be seen tending to the gardens, though some are content with just being out and about, enjoying the warmth of the virgin sun and the pleasent weather. Dirt pawprints are tracked upon the clearing's surface, serving as witness to the fact that the majority of Abbeybeasts are caught up in the "spring fever." Most will will do just about anything, or make any excuse to be outside, eager to watch as spring colors emerge in scraggly clumps.

[C]hampion's [C]ottage
Lee quickly fights a weasel then a fox, but from behind another fox slams the hilt of their sword into the back of his head and he slumps onto the ground, unconscious.
Zork looks in shock, he then grips his large blade and growls as he prepares to attack some rats foolish enough to rush in, the 3 rats die in maybe the same amount of seconds as the large blade says hello to them.
Ekon looks towards the gates as he frowns, he is unsure what the large ram is but he knows it just destroyed have of the gates, the remaining squirrels under his command look to him or what to do next.
Marek smiles as his forces begin to pile into Redwall, but he is busy fighting the four beasts that engaged him. Killing one of the ferrets he falls back to where his men can assist him, and the others quickly fall, things are going well for Marek
Leon gasps as he looks up about the same time as the one gate falls, a worried look now on his face as he quickly bandages up another guard that’s hurt and goes to tend to any other wounded.
Stormbreeze grins and rushes in after her boss and slices at a vole and smirks, she looks towards the further building area of Redwall.
Lorimis watches in horror as the gates fall. His guards, the brothers and sisters of the Abbey are outnumbered, Zork alone cannot hope to hold the gates.... shaking his head he reaches out to grab Leon's arm as the remaining guards form up around Flicktail. "We... I... I cannot allow this!"
Scioto frowns as he sees the battle flow into the abbey gates, he goes to block the path of a couple ferrets, and nods for his own fighters to keep fighting and keep helping Redwall best they can.
Zork frowns, yes he can fight and fight well and slices at a ferret, then a rat and goes to fight a wildcat and pants, he does have cuts on his arm but is managing to keep fighting best he can.
Ekon tail flicks, he nods for his warriors to attack a group of weasels and gulps slightly as about 3 squirrels die, his warriors are lessening and he is not liking it as it seems he can feel most of the pains of this battle.
Leon looks over his shoulder at Lorimis, "I am unsure what to do, me and the healers can only help so many Lorimis, we are losing badly." He gasps as a rat just about gets to him but thanks to one of the guards the rat fails.
Marek glares as a rat attacks Leon. "DO NOT ATTACK THE HEALER!!!!" He slices a Shrew warrior down and then an Otter, but returns when one of his rats attacks Leon anyhow, grabbing him by the throat. "I said, don't attack the healer, you will die for your insolence" He chokes the rat. "Anyone else want to disobey my direct orders?"
Stormbreeze had slipped into the abbey with a couple weasels, bad idea but she managed her goal, help her friend but the weasels died and she has a good size slice to her leg.
Scioto is getting tired, it’s been a while since he has fought this long and this many beasts at one time.
Lorimis swallows and walks backwards up the steps.... the open ground between the ruined gates and the front of the Abbey is filled with fighting beasts. The remaining guards being cut off from each other, driven back, cut down.... shaking his head and looking around desperately the Abbot watches Flicktail go down under a swarm of rats. He grips the door of the Great Hall and looks back across the room... .the afternoon sunlight illuminates Martin's frame and he grabs a novice and whispers to them. They shake their head and grab the Abbot's arm but he shakes them free and shoves them inside then pulls the door shut behind him. "MAREK!" He screams, his frail voice surprisingly strong across the field of battle, "CALL THEM OFF.... WE SURRENDER!" His voice hangs in the air as nearby order beasts freeze and turn to look at their leader. The old mouse is standing tall atop the steps of the abbey, the sun illuminating him as he looks across at the stoat.
Hudson arrives, but he is on Marek’s side today as he grins looking at the confusion all around.
Marek nods. "STOP FIGHTING, THEY SURRENDER!" He holds up a paw. One vermin disobeys and becomes the victim of a crossbow bolt. "Good choice, Mr. Abbot"
Zork pants ,he slices at a weasel and one gets a good cut on its arm, but also manages to slice the badger, who has managed to slay a good number of the hordes beasts, he about loses his balance when a fox gets the upper paw and then stops, they frown at Marek "But Boss..." But the fox is wise and backs up letting the badger catch his breath.
Ekon flicks his tail, he and his remaining beasts still look ready to fight, that is till a ferret lays a sword at Ekon's throat..yeah that makes the squirrels surrender.
Leon scans the area of wounded and dead and frowns deeply, he walks over to tend to a hurt shrew and applies some herbs to a leg wound and bandages it up
Marek points to Leon. "Alright you there....healer beast, heal these beasts, both sides have taken casualties and I truly do not like to see blood" He points to Zork. "You will receive assistance from my beasts in rebuilding the gates" He looks around, noticing quite a few beasts have fled. "I see some beast have fled, no matter, the day is won" He points to a ferret. "Basilpaw, get the kitchens ready, today we shall feast!"
Stormbreeze watches as some flee and rolls her eyes, "We can find them later right?" She walks over towards some beasts and waits orders.
Lorimis takes a shuddering breath and then sags back against the doors of the abbey. "This day is yours Marek... but Redwall will prevail. Enjoy holding us whilst you can Martin shall show us the way to bring you down..." He smiles then, soft brown eyes flashing as he turns the ring, pushing open the doors to the great hall, "But you shall not have him...." The tapestry is gone... the far wall empty and bare.
Hudson makes his way to Stormbreeze and stands beside her.
Zork glares at Marek, it’s clear how much he dislikes him, he is right now too tired and worn out to move much.
Ekon is led inside the abbey as the couple ferrets push him and his remaining 12 beasts, half his tribe are left alive, he is shoved into a sitting position and looks towards the horde beasts.
Leon does tend to any wounded, and yes on both sides, at first the novice healers look like they rather not but Leon simply nods for them to do so and they do.
Marek blinks. "Gone? How is that possible, Mr. Abbot? Where has the tapestry gone?" He seems puzzled, but turns to his men. "These beasts will not be placed in chains, the wounded will tended to, and we shall have a feast. There will be a curfew, and strict regulation of both vermin and woodlander doings. This is no longer Redwall Abbey, is the Fortress of Marek!" He issues orders to his men. "There is no room for all of you to be here and starvation to not occur, you will create bases outside around Mossflower, Basilpaw will be charge of cooking, nobody is to harm the Badger Father, The Abbot, The Healer, or any former abbey authority, or dibbuns. The villagers will not be harmed unless they disobey direct orders from me, every fall season the harvest shall occur, and 30% of crops will go to my personal storehouse, and my personal ambassador, Damask will be sent to Ferravale to collect taxes" He heads to the Great hall. "If my orders are disobeyed, I will find out, now I must retire to my new Quarters, goodnight.”
Stormbreeze grins, "Yeah the abbey now belongs to Marek."
Scioto growls at the idea of taxes on his village, he speaks "My village will never pay taxes to you Marek!"
Lorimis is being supported by Elder Marilyn, the younger field mouse looking worriedly at the abbey as he rests against her. She helps him inside under the watchful gaze of some of Marek's guards. The Abbey council, those who are here being rounded up and brought to the Abbot. Papa Oz is missing as are most of the Abbey's dibbuns and the Tapestry well the Abbot refuses to tell anyone what he knows about where it has gone through several novices are missing as well. "I am sorry everyone...." He whispers, "We can only hope now that Benar and Zinnia are successful...."
Zork growls at a fox that’s gets to close to him, he shoves them aside 'I can walk me self" A couple wounds he has are tended to as he sits close to Lorimis, he is worried some himself as a ferret looks over at Marek and under his orders questions the badger “Where is the other badger..and most of the stupid dibbuns?" Zork glares at the ferret, he stays silent and the ferret looks ready to slay him but has his orders not to, not that he likes the orders and moves away from the badger grumbling.
Ekon sits Indian style, his tribe beasts stay close to him, not being sure what to do now.
Leon is motioned to move, he frowns "Your boss said tend the wounded, that’s what I am doing" The horde beast nods and lets the master healer tend to the wounded best he can.
Lorimis slumps to the ground of the Great Hall, the abbot looks worn out, more frail and ancient then ever as he sags against the support of the younger order members. The horde beast trying to question him looks frustrated and then snorts and shakes his head as the abbot passes out.
Stormbreeze watches all the abbey beast and chuckles, "This day has been fun so far." She frowns as she notices a few missing, most likely the small few that escaped with that darn white fox.
Zork makes a fist as he watches the horde beast near Lorimis, when he gets the chance he goes over to check on Lorimis to make sure the abbot is ok.
Ekon frowns, he speaks to one of his warriors quietly, they manage to slip away to find the ones who managed to get away, the others should know what’s happen. He sighs deeply and his ears flatten on his head.
Hudson chuckles, "Dum abbey beasts, manage to get me to question me, told them I would get released see they believe me now the fools"
Lorimis is resting with his head in Marilyn's lap, she looks up at Zork, "He is ok... just exhausted I think Martin was riding him there at the end.... he was... talking differently.." She looks around and whispers to the badger, "He said the Tapestry was safe where the little folk lie. Wherever that is....."
Scioto glares at a horde beast, a fox walks up to him "Looks like you may be sticking around, can’t have ya go get help now can we kitty." The cat glares more" And that will be your mistake..." He answers the horde beast.
Zork nods and looks confused he has no clue what that means either, he nods, “Just have de healers keep a good eye on him."
Leon is still helping beasts, and his healers as well and goes over to check on Lorimis himself
Hudson keeps an eye on beasts from both sides, he bars some orders to a few horde beasts and grins evilly, "The abbey gates fell...this will go down in history"
Lorimis is just sleeping, tired and out for now there is little the healers can do and Marilyn is sitting next to him warily, watching, waiting.
Zork speaks quietly, "I just hope Ozzy is ok."
Ekon just watches the vermin walk back and forth and frowns, he dislikes feeling unable to help anyone.
Leon steps back after checking on Lorimis, he looks around as some of his healer beast still help the beasts needing help from injuries, a couple more seriously injured, a ferret on Marek's side and a mole on Redwalls side have died but were helped best the healers could help them.
Scioto sits down near where leaders are gathered and shakes his head, a frown comes to his face as he thinks on whom may now be in charge of Ferravale.
Hudson chuckles "Ok ya lot time to be quiet and listen ta me, I be his right paw beast ta Marek and you all best listen to his new rules for Marek’s fortress. Ya abbey" He smiles coldly.
Leon frowns, he now starts to feel the pain in his tightly bandaged arm, he had paid it no mind before as he was in healer mode now he pays it some attention and a novice checks it, applies other herbs and bandages it.
Zork stays close to Lorimis, no horde beast will touch the abbot while he is here, he will make sure of it.
Ekon remains sitting Indian style he is...mediating in fact it seems, a couple horde beats stare at him, one shrugs, but otherwise they leave the..now to them strange squirrel..alone.
Scioto watches from where he sits, the horde has taken control of the abbey now and the cat is well guard so he doesn’t go get help for the abbey.
Leon tends to a couple more wounded and then sits down, he is very worn out and walks slowly over to Zork and passes out in his arms.
Zork catches Leon easily and frowns, he looks Leon over and keeps the Master Healer in his arms, he glares at any vermin that come close. He stays close to Lorimis and has an unconscious Leon in his arms.
Ekon is still mediating, maybe it relaxes him or he is just trying to find out an outcome or later
Scioto glares at a fox guarding him, he so would like to punch this beast.
Marek comes back and watches as all has gone well for him and smiles, arms behind his back, weapons taken, from abbey beasts, yes his beasts keep their weapons. He lets the healers tend to wounded and leaves the badger alone as the badger seems to guard Leon and Lorimis.
Hudson stays by Marek as he makes sure things go as Marek wants them to, the leaders will be kept an eye on mostly, still there is the missing beasts.
Scioto hisses low, ears flat, this is not good him being trapped here.
Ekon opens his eyes and makes a daring move, he is leaving and seeking help and tell others the grim news, he is quick but not serious quick
Marek narrows his eyes "Get it! Stop Him! Shoot him if ya have to!"
Hudson chases after the old squirrel and takes aim and fires at the squirrel, he tells the horde beasts at the door to stop the squirrel, and also takes the time to make sure no one else is out here, barking orders.
Ekon pants and rushes, zig zag and tenses up in pain as the arrow hits him but he still goes to get pass the horde guards guarding the broken gate, his ax is throw and stuck in a ferrets head as he gets away, the guard start to chase and decide he will probably die anyways, and the guards are doubled at the gates
Hudson growls "Forget it, the old thing will just die!" He glances down noting one beast is alive still and smirks, Its Lee..so he drags the otter inside and places him with the other higher ups of the abbey, he grins as an abbey healer tends to the otter
Marek snorts and shakes his head, he looks at Lee as he is brought is and nods "My new base...I love it"
Donald stumbles into the hall, groaning and clutching his head. "Oi, me head! Too much ale...oi, wha am I sayin'? Not enough ale, more like it!"
Hudson looks over at the squirrel, he barks an order and the squirrel is surrounded by a couple rats, a ferret and Hudson who grins "Ello...nice ta see you awake sir, welcome to Marek’s home"
Donald blinks a few times. "Oi, I must still be dreamin'...except, it's like a nightmare." He grins. "For you lot!" He leaps at one-- then stumbles onto the floor. "Oi...okay, definitely too much ale..." He looks up at the vermin. "...em...can I have a do-over?"
Hudson glares at the squirrel, "No..I be Marek’s right paw beast..your now among the captives"
Donald frowns at Hudson. "Oi...if I weren't so hangover, an' I had me sword, ye'd be slain by now."
Lee moans off in a corner
Hudson rolls his eyes "Right..." He has a beast check on the moaning Lee
Donald scowls. "Oi, come on, then. Get me a weapon, an' we'll see." He stands up, glaring at Hudson. "Or, are ya too scared?"
Hudson glares, a couple other ferret step up next to Hudson “Boss just said not ta kill the healer, you on the other paw"
Donald snickers. "Aye, sure. Like yer just not afraid o' them, ya coward."
Hudson growls, he nods to the ferrets to attack the squirrel.
Donald fights as hard as he can, but is eventually beaten. "Oi, do ya know how NOT ta be cowardly?"
Lee starts to stir again. "Me 'ead..." He mumbles.
Hudson says, "I could just kill you, but chose not to..excuse me..boys" The ferrets make sure the squirrel stays where he is as he walks over to Lee "Rise and shine" Lee will find his weapons gone."
Donald growls. "Oi, just wait 'till I get me sword..."
Hudson smirks "You won’t get your blade, no abbey beast will, obey the rules of your new lord and master and all will be well “
Donald suddenly bursts into laughter. "Oi! Ye definitely have never been ta me home... Ya can't rule over me. An' while I'm here, ye can't rule over any beast in this Abbey.
Hudson says, "Yes I can, this is Marek’s base now and he owns this abbey, and also Ferravale..he collects taxes from Ferravale or soon will..Marek is the ruler here now, get use to it woodlander""
Donald struggles in the grip of the ferrets. "Oi, I'll never bow down ta any beast."
Lee moans and attempts to sit up. "Oy, why ain't nobeast cut yer stupid tongue out yet, cat?" Ah, he woke up in a good mood.
Hudson smiles coldly, "I told ya I get released..Lee. I would make you take that back but seems your mate is a coward and run away."
Lee says, "I'd like ta see ye try, fool."
Hudson chuckles, "See..I could track them down maybe, be fun:" Weather he means it or not remains to be seen
Donald sneers. "What, can't handle an otter an' a young, hungover squirrel?" He struggles with the grip of the ferrets again.
Hudson says, "I could take down the badger if I want to besides he may now something..like where all the brats are""
Donald spits towards the cat. "Oi, Ugly! I'm talkin' ta ya!"
Lee spits at Hudson. "I got a word o' warnin' for ye, cat. Ye better watch yer back from now on... Nightfur......they 'ad one fatal flaw... Underestimatin' me."
Hudson sneers, he turns to Lee and shrugs "Whatever ya say" He cleans off his face and goes to kick the otter, hard if connects
Lee winces in pain at the kick. "Oh, aren't ye so brave, kickin' a defenseless otter... Why don't ye give me back me sword, an' we can settle this the old fashioned way, vermin."
Donald frowns. "Oi, Lee! That was me idea, first!"
Marek watches his vermin double check for any hidden Redwall beasts as they report to him, he nods and positions his own guards at the gates, the walls tops, he grins as archers also join the guards on the wall…Redwall is his at long last!
