That Wildcat is Familar
Halyard Village: Main Street
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Halyard Village ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This is the main street of Halyard Village. However, for being the main
street, its not terribly impressive. Like most of the rest of the village,
the homes and buildings that line this street are sound, at best. The purpose
of the architecture is obviously efficiency, not elegance. The buildings are
short and squat, none any higher than two levels, and a good few windows are
covered in a fine grit; a combination of salt, sand, and dirt. The foremost
profession of the village becomes apparent with a simple glance around,
fishing nets and other such paraphernalia littering the area out front of
many of the buildings. So far as the living component of the street, a few
vendors are usually out and about, attempting to sell their products, among
them fish and other such foodstuffs, but without much success. It is, after
all, a small village.

Zurrgg walks into the village "Ahhhh been a little while since been here Cayson, a slightly rough town and in some areas very rough town"
Cayson looks around and shrugs, "I suppose sir. You said you been here before? I am unsure if would like some sea town but then there could be a chance to find those to join us who want more”
Zurrgg nods “This is Halyard, I made some friends and enemies here"
Cayson nods "Well friends would be good to gather, we do need many for your plans and he more the better"
Zurrgg nods "Yes and then go back to Mossflower and pay Marek a visit and get my revenge and the difference will be I won't be alone this time I will have my group with me and I plan to have a strong group
Cayson bows "I can help with recruiting sir as it would be my honor to"
Zurrgg nods “Then do so and we meet at the tavern in a few hours"
Windrose is in the village, mainly cause Flint is in the clinic and so she decided to try and find him something in the market place to cheer him up, maybe some sort of book or even some special treat like a candy, hey even grown beasts like candy.
Zurrgg walks along, hood of his cloak up and over his head but it doesn’t look out of place as it is a little windy and cold. With him is a couple rats and a ferret as he talks with them quietly," I assure you, it will be rewarding and much better than staying at some sea port town and along the way there could be chances to rob and steal."
Windrose looks over at the cloaked figure briefly but doesn’t pay too much attention as a lot keep cloaks around them in the winter. She herself has a winter cloak on around her uniform to keep out the cold.
Zurrgg watches the hare before speaking more to the two rats and ferret “You have a week to decide, that’s when I head back to Mossflower area." They nod and head off to the tavern for drinks as he leans against a stand of some sort and simply keeps an eye on the hare.
Windrose smiles and finds some chocolate and gets some, she then turns and notices the cloaked beast watching her and walks slowly towards him, but stays alert "Umm...hallo? Do I know you or did you need some help?"
Zurrgg smirks under his cloak as the hare gets closer, "Now that you are..closer, you are familiar to me. Yes we meet but a few weeks ago, yes I remember and I would be sure you remember me as well."
Windrose frowns "I can't say I jolly well do sur, sorry." She tries to remember as she tilts her head to try and get a better look at the cloaked beast. "Where was it, here in the village?"
Zurrgg steps up a little closer and takes off his hood "On the beach, of course I remember clearly and your friend as well." He grins but it’s not a friendly grin.
Windrose ears droop a little as she studies the wildcat "You...are familiar but I can't place why." She tries to remember but that grin makes her back up a little and place a paw on her dirk and frown."W..who are you?"
Zurrgg only laughs "I am Zurrgg..." He lays a paw on a crossbow he has and just grins,"You and a couple hares were on the beach some time ago, oh no worries I don't plan on helping you remember further, no..not yet as too many witnesses and I so dislike witnesses " ( This is where Zurrgg killed a hare named Flare and meet Flint and Windrose http://rwmuck.limitless.org/rwmuck/content/talk-about-rough-day )
Windrose frowns as she still has a paw on her weapon "Wait..beach?" She seems to remember somewhat, but not too clearly yet"You had the crossbow...I think"
Zurrgg nods "Yes a hare died, course it was meant for you dear hare, but hey woodlanders are fools. My men, fools at the time, distracted you and the other hare and I got away. Not that I plan to stay in the area long but one never knows or knows if jobs left undone can be..done after all, but that’s for another day and place and less witnesses. I will be seeing you but it doesn’t mean your..see...me" He chuckles coldly as he walks off.
Windrose watches the wildcat walk off and is slightly shaken up but after taking a deep breath she recovers and heads to find Flint.
Halyard Village: Clinic
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Halyard Village ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The clinic has certainly seen better days. Furnished in utilitarian chairs
with a simple military table laid out in front of the doorway inside, it's
certainly not much to look at with the white painted wood panel walls. The
floor looks to be of a similar material but left unfinished save for a coat
of clear varnish that looks like it needs a new coat sometime soon. A small
portable space heater fueled by wood sits by the waiting room chairs and a
coat hanger sits in the corner by the door for patients to use.

[O]ut to Street
Windrose steps into the clinic and seems a little jumpy, nervous and not herself as she frowns and looks around finding the cot with Flint and walks over.
Flint is sitting up and sees Windrose and smiles, but seeing her nervous he then frowns "Wot is wrong dear? If you’re worried bout me I am fine..see...well bit less of a left ear and a healing side but other than that I be fine"
Windrose walks over and hugs Flint "It's...not that, but yes I am worried but not as much love. I can see your better. its..just this wildcat made me nervous is all and he seems familiar somehow and..wot he said"
Flint holds her close "Wildcat? Familiar?..I don't remember no wildcat, well one but he died, Lord Ciocan killed him and that was when the ambassador came"
Windrose frowns "No..this is another one. Said his name was Zurrgg and some hare died cause he got in the way of something or other..I" Her ears droop some "I don't know, I seen his face before..somewhere"
Flint asks, "Where?" That’s the one word he says "Just..where and when"
Windrose answers "In the village, he had a ferret with him some bright red one."
Flint nods "Maybe we need to get back and report this then, tis important to"
Windrose says, "Your hurt, if we ran into that ...wildcat like this, then wot?"
Flint says, "I am fine...and I can still fight if needed to protect you"
Windrose says, "Right now I just want to get back...safe, to the mountain"
Flint nods “Good idea, let’s go”
