Muenster's Last Stand
- Muester fights the good guys, the part on the path I logged, the part in the abbey I copies and pasted, edited it all and here it is enjoy:)****
Worn Path(#111781RJ)
You see a very worn down path with rocks and weeds and little sign of plant like or much of anything. On the far side of the path is what looks like a dark den with rocks and tall grasses in front of it.
Exits: [B]ack, [In]to Den
Muenster is on the path, a limp to his walk and he looks around.
Kao walks in, "Eh?..Boss..Are 'ye...Are you Okay?"
Muenster looks over at Kao and glares, "No I am not ok! I am wounded ya fool and my den may of been found out!"
Kao sits there. "Hmm...'dat does not sound good boss, not good at all", He pulls out a dark quarterstaff. "Which way did they go?"
Muenster snorts and growls low, "How should I know ya fool..I did take care of the stupid feline, be lucky if he wakes up even"
Kao scratches the side of his hood. "So boss, does that mean I should go, I could...encourage them to leave you alone"
Muenster narrows his eyes at Kao, "Ya know I rarely see ya around, where do you go to and how would you encourage them ta go way?"
Kao grins, or at least the shadow of his mouth makes it seem as if he does. "I have my ways, and I go to investigate them...why else. “
Muenster keeps an eye on Kao and nods, "Whatever, I may head on out a here soon, heard they buy slaves far north."
Kao nods, or at least the hood going up and down implies that. He keeps his grip on his staff and waits, as if expecting something.
Muenster chuckles coldly, "My plan will go even better, disappear for a while, sale the captive, see that way...they never get her back and I make some gold."
Kao coughs briefly. "Are 'ye afraid of that Martin beast? I don't believe in him myself but you never know what weird magic those Redwallers have"
Muenster sneers, "I don't fear no beast, and magic?..that no such thing as magic ya fool."
Kao pauses for a moment. "What about that powder stuff you do?"
Muenster nods, "Still have some of it, some spilled in a..fight, but yes have some and it comes in handy, blind a beast and maybe get them to dream land, either leave em' or kill em'"
Drake keeps to the shadows and looks around to see what is here and more importantly who is here.
Flicktail nods to drake indicating he will circle the other side with Feisty, the Kilted Squirrel holding his claymore tightly, his tail still.
Kao walks back and forth, holding the staff and every once in while muttering something under his breath and looking at Muenster.
Muenster watches Kao, "Will ye stop doin' that, walkin' back and forth your goin' ta drive me insane."
Drake nods to Flicktail and slips a little closer. Drake has a couple Ferravale guards with him and motions them to go to a bush nearby.
Flicktail has told some Long Patrol hares to keep security, and be available. he whispers to Feisty, "There they are...."
The Squirrel nods and says "Ya dinna touch Muenster, the fox be mine!”
Kao laughs. "Yer already insane, boss. Nothings going to change that" He pauses. "Just waitin' fer orders"
Muenster narrows his eyes ,"Here's an order, keep a watch out will ya, will be leaving soon, head north ta sell me a captive to a slaver."
Kao stands still and looks back and forth, he slips the staff back into the pouch on his back .
Drake scans the area and catches sight of the den opening, but he stays where he is as it would be too risky if he came out now. He keeps a grip on his sword and looks at it and back towards where Muenster is.
Flicktail and Fiesty try to move around to cut the fox off from the Den entrance, but Flicktail steps on a branch that cracks...and he freezes.
Muenster sniffs the air and moves away from the den, he limps and growls low as his leg hurts, he looks around. His ears move as he hears something and draws his sword.
Drake frowns, he tries to get a little closer to the den entry, he puts the sword away and gets his bow and an arrow, in case he needs to fire one off.
Kao moves over to Muenster leaving a trail of black dye, though not visible to most beasts yet, his tail is now red.
Muenster is paying more attention to where a snapping sound came from to notice Kao much.
Kao notices his mistake and pulls his tail into his cloak. "Boss, I think I hear something"
Flicktail's ear flicks, where Kao can see, the white fox trying to hide behind green foliage doesn't work so well.
Fiesty has moved out a head, and may remain still hidden.
Flicky tries to keep his rebellious tail still.
Drake makes his way to the den and looks back to where Flicktail is and where Kao and Muenster is as he peers into the den.
Muenster growls as he catches movement, he heads towards the direction of Flicktail, sword tilted as he moves slowly that way and ready for a fight.
Kao sees Flicktails ear and swings his staff, apparently not being good at the staff he trips and falls revealing that his tail is indeed NOT black, but red.
Drake sets an arrow into the longbow and draws it back aiming towards Munster, he waits to fire it till gets a good time to fire it.
Flicktail breaks cover drawing his own blade but also moving in a position that blocks Drake's shot.
Fiestey curls his lip....rushing out suddenly yelling, "GARR! Have at ye Ya bloody vermin fox" his claymore held high as Flicktail groans.
Muenster eyes narrow as he is not sure who to swing as, he uses the fact that Flicktail is distracted a little and swings his blade at Flicktails arm. He goes to kick the crazy highlander squirrel.
Kao gets up, completely revealing his now red tail to everyone, when he sees that he has done this he growls. "Drat, I was sure 'dis would work"
Drake cusses under his breath, he quickly slips into the den, while Muenster is busy.
Flicktail's blade seems to move faster than it should as the 2 blades clang...while the squirrel side steps the kick but it causes the flat of his claymore to swing at Muenster’s shin, if it connects it will feel like getting kicked in the shin but will not cut.
Muenster growls as the blades clank and, he catches sight of Kao and this causes him to get hit in the shin, he moves back and slices again at Flicktail as he angles the sword.
Drake slips out and frowns at the fighting but uses all the confusion to get out of here and with an unconscious Dazzle.
Flicktail has moved, worried about the squirrel with the odd tail he swings his next stroke at Kao retreating back from Muenster, while Fiesty, his kilt fluttering takes a 2 handed chop at Muenster .
Muenster is hit in the arm as he goes to move and growls low as he goes to kick the white fox hard.
Kao throws off his cloak, revealing the appearance of Oak. “'right....I'm tired of 'dis little Charade!", He points a bow and arrow at Muenster. "Now I'm gonna let Flicky kill 'ye..but 'oos to say I can't wound you...or Maim you" ,He pauses and grins. "Time to Die, Muenster.
Muenster growls, "And you are ya suposed ta be!"
Oak grins. "Hello..I'm Oak. Basically, Run"
Flicktail blinks in total surprise as he sees Oak with his sword slicing toward the squirrel. He stops the blade but misses Muenster’s kick, so the evil fox lands his kick squarely between Flicktails legs, the fox gives a high squeal and crumples forward.
Fiesty snarls "Ya Dinna ave the courage ta face me" moving in to protect the Abby Champion.
Jake quickly enters the area of the fight and has his own longbow and arrows, he stays close enough to fire one at Muenster if needed, he tilts his head and waits for the right moment and seeing an opening fires one at Muensters backside.
Muenster growls as he is attacked from all ends and slices at the highlander squirrel and sends a few choice words to Oak and goes to slice at Flicktail when the arrow from the air buries itself into his shoulder and he growls in pain.
Oak is firing arrows at Muenster.
Flicktail begins to get up as Fiesty's sword deflects Muenster’s blade, but in doing so the blade slices to the bone on Flicktail's left arm. the fox howls and tries a thrust at Muenster, the champion speaking with a slightly higher voice .
Oak fires an arrow aiming for Muenster's other arm, the one opposite of his sword arm, in hopes of exposing a weakness.
Jake keeps his longbow with another arrow, not firing yet but ready to if it’s needed.
Muenster gets an arrow in his footpaw from Oak and as he sees Blood he smiles coldly at Flicktail and barely manages a stab from the champion’s sword.
Flicktail taggers back and swings his blade toward Muenster's neck.
Fiesty has gotten behind Muenster and shouts, "noye down't Cham'ion this Fox is MINE! “ Stabbing fore Muenster’s heart.
Oak decides to switch his sword, he charges at Muenster and ends up at Flicktails side. "How does it feel to have an evil done to you?" he stabs Muenster in the sword arm in hopes of making him stumble.
Muenster sidesteps Oak and grins, he slices at the squirrels tail and chuckles coldly. He spins to try and stab Flicktail when the chap's blade enters his throat, he drops his own blade and coughs up blood, the highlander's sword gets his chest as the fox Muenster stands there in shock and surprise, he drops to his knees as death comes over him and falls with a thud to the ground, he won’t be ever moving again as a pool of blood forms around him.
Oak trips and gets a cut on his tail but nothing less he retreats into the shadows to fire more arrows.
Jake lowers his longbow and goes to get to where Flicktail is.
Oak nods to Jake and points at Muenster. "Let's pin 'im 'te 'de tree?"
Flicktail is bleeding rather heavily from his left arm and right thigh as he leans on his sword.
Fiesty grins "Take that ya verminous fox' he looks over at Jake, "Um..How be the Other fox. “
Jake frowns and quickly goes over to Flicktail, he ignores Oak and tears off a piece of his cloak to make a very temporary bandage, a tight one, to slow bleeding as he has some first aid training thanks to being in LP before, if allowed he then goes to lift Flicktail to carry him to the abbey.
Muenster is dead:P
Flicktail says, "I..I kin walk if ya elps me Jake...me..arm stings' the red splatters the stark white fur but the bleeding is greatly reduced by the bandage .
Flicktail Barks, "OAK.!!....it is over, do not desecrate....I..I..", The fox trembles. "I feel cold “.
Jake frowns, "I am carrying you. “, He makes sure oak is at least trying to follow and quickly makes a dash to the abbey.
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.
Exits/Entrances:
[G]reat [H]all [C]limb to the [R]amparts [A]bbey [P]ond
[Ga]te [H]ouse [Leave] through the gates [Open] Ground
[C]hampion's [C]ottage
Drake nods, "Found Muenster, fight going on..I am fine..That’s one bit of news, had wanted to mention something else..last night but didn’t get chance." .
Benar nods his head and moves with Drake into the lee of the Champion's Cottage and waits there, "Ok I hope everyone will be ok, I'll tell the infirmary staff to be ready for casualties."
Drake nods, "One bit of..bad news, Scioto had found Muenster first, he was hurt. Bad, he is in a deep faint in the infirm at Ferravale since last night and has yet to wake from his faint, he..is near death right now."
Benar frowns and sighs and lowers his head, "Oh dear... not Scioto... I hope Lorimis can help bring him back from the gates of Dark Forest."
Jake can move fairly quickly as he gets to the gates, if oak is behind him he is probably far behind him, he looks at the other guards and they open the door and he heads inside, "Need a Healer!!!"
There are healers standing by in the entry area, just in front of Benar and Drake as they talk together. They rush forward toward Jake swiftly.
Drake nods slowly, "I hope he recovers too...oh. “ ,He stops as the others come in.
Oak lays down in one of the cots brought out, although his wounds are not as serious as Flicktail’s he needs rest as well. ,"Tell me if Flicky gets better eh? I'm worried about the 'ol fox" .He falls asleep soon after.
Flicktail's fur on his left arm and right thigh is bright scarlet, and bandages are wrapped around them. "Is....is Father....I'm cold where is Father?”
The healer's hush Flicktail, moving him to one of the beds they have set up in the emergency area on the lawns before the abbey's stained glass windows. "Rest Flicktail, let us tend you... rest..."
Flicktail's wounds are not life-threatening, but they are serious, deep and possibility of infection. he nods to the healers
Jake watches as Oak heads to the infirm on his own and lets the healers tend to Flicktail as they have more experince at healing than he does, he frowns, he looks down at the blood on his arms and cloak now and frowns more, a worried look on his face as he looks to Flicktail.
Drake stays where he is out of the way of the healers and sighs, he isn’t sure where to go so he stays put.
Benar is staying out of the way as well, he is in in sight however, stood with Drake in the lee of the Champion's Cottage, he glances at Jake and gestures him over as the healers work on Flicktail's wounds.
Jake walks over and nods to Benar, "I'm ok..most of the blood is Flicktail's that’s on me from carrying him here."
Drake rubs his arm and looks between them, "What should I do..ummm Abbot Benar?"
Flicktail relaxes, some stitches and some hotroot soup and he should be fine, he relinquishes Martin's Sword to the Gate house keeper, he doesn't need it here, not now .
Benar sighs softly and flicks his ears as he watches the healers working on Flicktail, "I do not know what we can do now Drake, this is all in the hands of our healers now..." .
Drake nods as he watches the healers work."Alright..I am guessing Muenster is..is dead now?"
Jake nods to Drake, "yeah...Muester is dead.."
Benar sighs softly and flicks his ears, "I am sorry to hear that.. the death of any beast lessens us all.. still maybe now the Country can have some peace...." he looks around the small warm camp the Lawns resemble thanks to all the guards being armed.
Flicktail's ears perk "Father? are..are ye busy?”
Drake sits down close to the others, he rubs his arm again and looks around the abbey grounds.
Benar says, "Excuse me everyone..." He murmurs and lifts his habit to glide over to stand beside Flicktail's bed and look down at him. "I am here Flicktail, you should be resting."
Flicktail says, "Oh I am not that Bad Father, I will rest, I..I just..I know It were necessary, but I killed a beast today" He lifts his right paw, "May I have your forgiveness Father? Maybe it's not needed, but..it feels proper" .
Drake lets the others talk, he stands and goes to check on Dazzle.
Benar shakes his head and touches Flicktail's paw, "I can't forgive a beast who kills want only and without reason but you Flicktail. Did what you had to, to defend the Abbey, Ferravale and all the good beasts of Mossflower Country. You have my blessing and my forgiveness for what it is worth."
Flicktail Relaxes and tears of thankfulness glisten in his eyes. "Thank you Father “
Jake watches Benar and Flicktail, he looks back and forth and back to them.
Flicktail says, "Hey Jake..thank ye...."
Jake nods, "You needed a healer, and figured get one faster if I Carried you to the abbey and you did get here faster, couldn’t let you die, wot."
Benar says, "Well Jake I am glad you brought our Champion back and I am also glad you too returned to us and that no more lost their lives in this business... "
Flicktail says, "Jake is my best mate"
Jake nods, "Now we let things get back to normal, maybe have a feast once all is feeling better, wot" .
Benar says, "Yes... I think if we agree that it is safe, we will start to step down the guards and try and get back to Normal.".
Flicktail says, "If there's a feast I..woud like hot Root soup...made by Zoomy"
Jake nods, "Yeah don't think Muenster had any friends and any he had was dealed with even before today."
Jake says, "But where for a feast here..or Ferravale?"
Flicktail says, "well..Ferravale WOULD be more....appropriate"
Benar says, "No feast..." He says firmly, "Not yet... first we remember those we have lost in this fight... and then, only then will we talk about a feast."
Flicktail says, "Aye yer Right Father"
Jake nods, "I agree..remember ones lost, we do need to do that soon", Jake looks to Benar. "Any Orders before I head inside"
Benar says, "Ah... secure the side gates then step down the Guard shifts to normal routine.
Jake nods, he bows to the abbot.,"I will do as you ask". He then heads off...to do as Benar asks.
Flicktail smiles.
