Trouble Near By

--This starts out by the gates of Redwall--

Jake is here about to head up on the wall top for guard duty. He has his bow and arrows with him as he gets to the steps

Silverfangs moves across the grasses and makes a bee-line to Jake "Sir hare it would be unwise to go on duty right now, best to wait a later time. “He sounds a little serious.

Jake raises an eyebrow "And why is that, been doing extra duty lately, it’s needed with Bloodclaw's men being about."

Silverfangs frowns "A feeling, a..I do not know but I sense danger of some sort, a feeling of uneasiness and I know not why, I" He looks at the hare “Can sense things sometimes, though cloudy, it is sometimes that way and sometimes clear. “He shakes his head"Just..trust me, may be best to wait, take another shift."

Jake grins "If you’re worried bout vermin, it be other way round..unsafe for them with me up on that wall, I am deadly with the long bow and rarely miss"

Silverfangs sighs "Perhaps over worry then,...but still wise to be careful...speaking of being careful have you seen my..granddaughter, she was not at dinner or..breakfast this morning."

Jake shakes his head, "Didn’t know ya had a granddaughter and no..only seen the regular beasts that have been in the abbey past couple days..sorry"

Silverfangs nods "Her name is Velsa and I am concern, I have not seen her and she..she usually is not like this."

Jake nods "Well, I could take a later shift..and, well ya look for this..Velsa, if you like," he nods to an otter to take the shift and grins "So..shall we look then?"

Silverfangs nods "Yes, it may be best to look, she may of gotten into some..trouble"

++++ to the dirt road++++

Jake walks up the road, he looks back and forth and is fairly alert for signs of trouble.

Silverfangs follows the hare, he stops and looks around as his ears go back against his head.

Stormstrike is in the woodlands, his cloak camouflaging him nicely against the shadows and trees of the woods, he stays still and smiles darkly as he sees the hare, he selects an arrow and pulls back on the bowstring and takes aim at the hare's chest, he waits and then fires with deadly aim.

Jake walks and looks around, he stops a belief moment and hmmms, "No sign of any vixens..or anything for that matter.." He turns to move and that one turn is probably what saves him from having an arrow in his chest, it still hits but sinks into his collar bone, he gets a stunned look on his face and about falls backwards, he looks at the arrow and his one good eye goes wide, a reaction to pull it out is done and blood comes from the wound, he sways as he is about to fall.

Silverfangs gasps and quickly goes to support the hare, he looks at the arrow and sniffs the air, he speaks to Jake “Do not move try to stay still and focused on me..." He speaks slowly and glances around and back to Jake.

Stormstrike grins darkly as he steps out of the woodlands, he narrows his eyes "The hare is to be left alone old fox, who are you to help a woodlander...I seek another as well, an otter known as Pike...does he dwell nearby?"

Silverfangs looks over at the rat and lets a low growl come out, “I give no info to you"

Jake tenses up in pain as his eyes start to close, he looks at Silverfangs and manages a look at the rat threw swirling vision.

Stormstrike grins "I will find him, you may warn him but death will come still" He grins and drops a pawfull of dust, the wind makes it swirl around with the leaves nearby and he uses it as a cover and slips into the woods quickly blending into the colors of the woods and seems gone just as quickly as he appeared.

Silverfangs coughs as the wind causes the dust to go all over and it gets in his eys, temparyly blinding him but vision clears and he frowns "Not..good.." He looks at Jake and frowns "Stay awake.." He carefully looks at where the arrow is and decides its unwise to move just yet and picks him up carefully and heads quickly to the abbey, hare in his arms.

++++At the abbey Infirm++++

Silverfangs steps into the infirm and lays the hare on the bed, he looks around and doesn't take time to ask he just goes into action and opens cabinets and looks on shelves, he also looks in a corner and smiles as he finds his healing herbs bag and goes back over to Jake to examine the wound, he gets a cloth and his other paw pulls out the arrow, he slides the cloth over and presses on the wound, he sniffs the arrow to check for possible poison, finding none he lays it aside and looks in his herb bag again frowning silently.

Jake is close to passing out, as the arrow is pulled slowly from his collar bone he lets out a small yip of pain, he closes his good eye and try’s to hold still while the fox tends to him, he talks threw the pain"He..he mentioned Pike..he after him..got ..got to warn."

Silverfangs is working quickly to mix herbs and examine the arrow wound, he speaks, "You my friend will be going nowhere...this wound is bad and would of been worse.." He sits aside the herb mixture and gets some thread and sewing needle and starts to sew the wound closed, using skill and detail so it stays shut. He then applies the herb mixture to the wound and takes a bandage and carefully bandages the wound.

Jake tenses up a couple times as the wound is sewed, this in a way prevents him from passing out, he closes his eye half way and lets the fox do his work.

Silverfangs finishes bandaging the wound and steps aside from the hare, he looks at the hare as he places a few herbs into the a glass with water and offers it to Jake "Drink.." The drink doesn't smell to good.

Jake makes a face "That stuff smell...bad" He frowns but after a few he drinks it, he looks at Silverfangs.."Wot bout..Pike?"

Silverfangs sits the glass aside and sighs "I..do not know, the herbs will help you, you..may get tried but otherwise..the wound will heal but may take time, you are lucky, don't think he meant to hit you in the collarbone, think he ment somewhere more..deadly."

Jake nods, he is getting tried now, he closes his eye and talks a little more "One..guess..Bloodclaw..blame for ..for this.." He slips into a sleep and it’s not clear when he may wake up, probably not too soon.

Silverfangs sits down and stares at the hare, he sighs and looks upwards closing his eyes, he opens them again and speaks, “Martin help these beasts...they need your guidance right now."

Jake is resting so it’s unclear if he hears the fox or not. Looks like he will be here for a few days.
