Morgan's Last Stand; or Do Not Threaten an Otter
Players involved: Zork, a badger, Jess, a rabbit, Morgan, a cat, Lee, an otter, and a few NPC guards.
Redwall Abbey: Gate
Zork is standing on the wall tops, thinking and getting some fresh air as well. He happens to look around the road and the forest line.
Jess is in the process of leaving the abbey, seems he didn't want to stay long and he only needed a couple days rest anyways as he has more important things to do as he nods to the two guards and heads to the road.
Morgan is back along the trees, only this time he wants seen as he walks onto the road and smirks "Ello" He sees the rabbit and thinks, easy prey as he walks up to him"Not always wise to be alone, is it?"
Zork looks down as he hears a familiar voice and frowns at the all too familiar wildcat, he then disappears from the wall top and is soon by the gates "Hey!..Back so soon cat?"
Jess frowns at the wildcat" Well sounds like I am not alone now feline and the two guards just over there, maybe you should come back another time or better yet, not come back at all vermin"
Morgan chuckles coldly, he looks at the badger " Ahh the stripedog, I did say I be back did I not? I don't walk away easy, not a 2nd time around.
Zork narrows his eyes, he does his best to stay calm as he watches the wildcat,"Leave..I won't ask again" The two guards stay alert not really wanting a fight but if one happens, it happens.
Morgan smirks "And if I don't. will you make me leave?"
Jess gets his dirk "I can make you leave kitty, I am not so easy to rob as you may think"
Zork takes a deep breath and then exhales as he calms himself, he then speaks "If I have to, yes. Go Morgan trust me its the best idea your ever make" His tone is dangerous now, but he still keeps calm as he can as he speaks.
Morgan chuckles again, "Best idea? Trust you? I hate stripedogs and none will tell me what to do. I work alone now thanks to that ratmaid, meaning I don't have to follow no rules but my own"
Jess says, "I think I would listen to the badger and walk away or maybe run away even"
Zork mutters something and keeps an eye on Morgan,"Well add this rule, its wise to stay clear of the abbey and if your such a loner now may be best to go cause of that or your find yourself out numbered soon."
Jess backs up a little towards the gates, dirk still in paw as he is ready to fight if it's needed.
Morgan watches them both, "You two fear me, don't you?" He smirks at this" You must as you refuse to fight me"
Zork growls now"I am not afraid of a stupid wildcat like you"
Morgan grins his evil grin "You're not?..Then prove it to me"
Jess frowns and decides to get some help from inside and right now he doesn't care whom.
Zork keeps his temper under control, just barely, "Not going to..fight you..leave"
Morgan shrugs as he draws his blade, "Too bad, guess I will have to make the first move then"
Jess frowns as he looks at Zork "So..now what?"
Zork has no weapon as he watches the wildcat, he speaks to Jess "You're going inside that's what your doing"
Morgan still has his blade"What..no weapon, well that's fine with me."
Jess asks, "Inside?" He then decides maybe that's best and goes to find a guard after all.
Zork watches the rabbit go inside and keeps an eye on Morgan, "I will ask, one more time for you to leave Morgan, or things will turn from a good evening to a bad evening, probally for both of us"
Morgan shrugs as he steps closer "How about no, that's MY answer"
Zork clears his throat "Then you're a fool"
Morgan smirks "I am a fool huh? Or are you....see I have so much I can do when not part of an annoying group of beasts, so much.."He then goes to aim a slice at the badger.
Zork was looking for something to happen and ducks the blade, it does mess up his headfur some as he frowns "I didn't need a hair cut" He narrows his eyes starting to get upset again.
Morgan hisses at missing, and grins at the badger angling the blade."Where is the kid and Ebony, maybe hand them over and I leave"
Zork shakes his head "No telling you, sorry"Morgan shrugs"Your loss.." He says as he goes to swing the blade again.
Zork rolls and blocks it with the staff he has and frowns and moves backwards towards the gates
Morgan grins "Yes...and now you fight me"
Zork frowns, "It's called blocking..."He gives him a warning look "Go or regret not going sooner"
Morgan chuckles "I will regret it, I think not I am rather enjoying this." He grins and goes to take another slice at him, I mean the badger can't block them all.
Zork blocks most of the blade, but the staff wasn't made for blocking really and so he still gets a cut on his lower arm, not a bad one, he frowns and backs off now something he wouldn't of done say 2 seasons ago.
Morgan watches him and chuckles, "You block well but for how long, where is that little bit of fire I saw in Ferravale..lose it somewhere?"He notices he did manage a small cut and smiles"You didn't totally block the 2nd time stripedog"
Zork has managed so far to hold back the urge to just shove the wildcat back, but that's failing quickly as he growls at Morgan.
Morgan grins "Why don't we get into some..REAL fighting, then again all you have is a weak staff and me a blade..works for me." He holds his blade loosely in his paw, for now he doesn't seem too worried."
Zork drops the staff and makes a couple fists"Ya had a chance ta leave."The last thing he wants to do is give in to fighting but if he has to , he will.
Morgan grins widely "I should just end this now, I don't need a fight...always so tiring, unneeded, I've killed from yards away, who says I have to get that close." He still has the longbow.
The gates open rather unexpectedly, and several guards come out, swords drawn. "Oy... Why don't ye drop dead, cat?" Lee frowns.
Zork hears Lee and allows himself to relax a little showing some begining signs of being tried , he still keeps an eye on the wildcat.."Lee..."
Morgan looks a bit surprised at all the guards as he draws back an arrow, "Oh and this a welcoming party" He aims the arrow at Zork and then at the guards, he knows it will take a little time to reload "Oh one of you should first I say."
Lee raises his paw, stopping his guards. "Did ye honestly think ye could kill Zork right in front o' the gates, an' *nobeast* would notice, fool? You fire that arrow... and I promise ye, ye'll be cut down before ye can even attempt ta reload..."
Zork allows him self a chance to sit down, "He's...also wanting Thorn...and...forgot who else."
Morgan narrows his eyes, "I don't take orders from woodlanders, I could easily kill you right here, right now..or wait till I see you from where I lay hidden."He readies himself to fire off an arrow, at one of the guards closer to him.
Lee growls dangerously. "Yer in no position ta make demands, cat. Look around yerself... Yer outnumbered... Fire that arrow, an' I order me soldiers ta attack... Ye won't find much mercy from me..."
Zork looks at his left arm, a small cut not deep at all, the staff has a couple good deep cuts to it and he sighs. He takes a couple breaths, he mainly blocked a couple moves, still its made him a bit tried, that and fighting back the urge to just give in and fight.
Morgan hisses and lowers his longbow, He knows he is outnumbered, "Well this is intresting, and whats to stop me from coming back, or maybe I should move on to a much more important target" He smirks."I don't miss more than once."
Lee narrows his eyes. "Are ye threatenin' me? Tell ye wot... I want ye ta ask the local vermin about Seth, an' Nightfur... an' Hudson, a cat like yerself... I want ye ta ask who killed 'em all, an' when ye find out the answer, ye come back an' talk ta me... I'm not afraid ta kill a beast if absolutely necessary..."
Zork goes to stand and stumbles, a couple of the stronger guards go to help him up as he nods his thanks, they can help him inside.
Morgan shrugs "Names mean nothing to me river dog...nothing."He rises his longbow again "Sides...I haven't killed today yet." He then fires the arrow towards where the guards are helping Zork, its very possible he will miss the one he is aiming for.
Zork frowns, ok stumbling is good sometimes as the arrow misses him , but does brush across his shoulder, not breaking skin but tearing his robe a little, the two guards help him inside.
Lee does not even hesitate. "Attack!" he yells to his remaining guards, then he whirls around, to see who got shot.
Morgan goes to try and reload his longbow to fire at the badger again only to get about 4 arrows in himself, one in his chest and one in his arm, two in his shoulder blade as he falls backwards and drops his own longbow and gasps out in surprise, he is usually quicker than this.
Lee strides closer, sword pointed at the cat. "I told ye... No mercy... I wonder 'ow long ye'll last with four arrows in ye... I don't wager long... But who knows..."
Morgan looks up at the otter and coughs up blood..."Stupid otter...." The arrow in his chest has done some really bad damage, " He coughs again and his breathing becomes very ragged as the arrow may of got his lung as his eyes start to shut and he still tries to get his blade, weakly though as he cant lift it right now.
Lee flicks his sword, knocking Morgan's blade away. "Say 'ello ta me ol' friends Hudson an' Nightfur when ye get ta Hellgates," he says coldly.
Morgan's sword is easily knocked away and his eyes glaze over in deaths mist. Any deaths he has caused have been avenged it would seem and he wont be causeing any more deaths as he is dead himself now.
Lee sighs, and returns to the abbey, followed by his guards. It will be a long night Sorry this is a bit late, thanks for reading!
