Found (Guess this is Thorns of Steel)

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


Oak weakly looks around barely holding on to some floating wood

Pike walks towards his ship that is not too far away, he is humming slightly as he walks, he then gets on the boat and starts to go below deck.

Oak floats weakly on a piece of wood, forcing his broken arms in place, he coughs as he looks up at the boat. "Eh...'eh you! EH!'”

Pike turns, his eyes go wide at who it is and he dives into the river and carefully gets to where he can gently grab oak and looks him over, "Oak?...wot de seasons!?" He gets behind him and slowly and carefully gets him to the ship and manages to pull him onto the deck

Oak grins as he falls on the boat deck. "Thanks 'fer gettin' me out of 'de water" He coughs up a bit of blood. "I'd be a bit dead if 'ye adn't 'o found me"

Pike looks him over and tears some of his own cloak to make a bandage, he frowns, "Wot appen ta ya.." He looks around "Amzi!"

Amzi climbs down below and frowns "What now..what’s this? You bring me a half dead squirrel?"

Oak can't get up, he grins at the rat. "Hi, my name is Oak...and 'I'm more 'den 'alf dead hehe, can 'ye 'eal me? Dat' idiot brodder' of Flicky done ripped me apart...'im an' 'is raven frien's"

Pike glares at the rat, "Ya owe me a favor, help im'....wait” He looks at Oak "Flicky has a..brother?"

Oak coughs and nods. "Real evil'”

Amzi snorts, she hmmphs and gets out her herbs barking out ones she needs as she tends to the squirrel, "This will sting, this one will hurt..." she mutters as she tends to cuts and gashes and claw marks, “Whoever seem ta not like you much" She carefully sews any wounds that need sewing with some thread.

Pike frowns "Gentle...I, I need ta warn im about this, tell the abbey your here"

Oak nods. "You serious? 'ee don' like me one bit. I spied on 'im and he cut me open, den' is raven frien's tried to pick me eyes out, 'den he broke my arms an' threw me in 'de Moss" He sighs. "Trust me woman, nuthin' can't hurt me more than Vlady's blade"

Amzi listens, "Yes...become shark food otter, what do when you find him?"

Pike says, "Cut him up, I know where me twin blades are, I can get em' and find this Vlad whoever, you can care fer Oak"

Oak shakes his head. "Dangerous, don't want 'ye goin' out 'der...he'll out number 'ye and send 'ye straight 'te 'ell's gate..don' do it!"

Amzi applies the healing herbs to the squirrel and bandages his wounds, she also resets his broken arms and finds a bit of an old board to make as a splint and wraps the arms, “There squirrel, but will take time, lots of time to heal all this”

Pike starts to go and turns around "I..still need me blades, but..ok won’t look fer him, what bout you oak, he probably thinks ya dead"

Oak winces in pain, but doesn't show it much. "Argh, I be saying' don't go near 'de fox...'ee outnumbers 'ye in 'undreds....'ye'll need 'de 'ole force 'o...." He grins. "Yeah, 'ee 'dinks I'm dead...'dis could prove to me advantage"

Amzi shakes ya head, “Ya stay here and heal or ya be dead and you Pike" She points at him "Ya do NOT get ya self in trouble ya needed ere' so get your blades and get your tail back here" She can be stern and rude when needed.

Pike glares , "Don’t tell me wot ta do Amzi, ya wouldn’t be here if didn’t pull ya from de sea, and I will be back just ta make sure ya help Oak and both ya,, stay below deck."

Oak laughs. "I din' say I"d go now...lookit'" He smirks. "Me arms are broken' and me legs aren't fit 'te move....I can't do nuthin'" He stops when Pike talks. "While 'yer down 'der get me a dragon's breath and 'dis time make sure it don't blow up!"

Pike glares at Oak and shakes his head “Don’t ya be remindin’ me of me old ship!” He shakes his head and starts to carefully pick up Oak and get him below deck, the area where the hot root and Dragon’s Breath is, is locked in a chest and Pike is the only one with a key, he lays Oak on a make shift bed and looks around.

Amzi comes down and shakes her head, “Guessin’ we be stuck here now, not going anywhere with this” She points to Oak.

Oak groans and passes out, he is tried, sore, and has lost a good deal of blood.

Pike frowns and checks Oak’s pulse and sighs in relief to know he still lives “He gonna make it Amzi?”

Amzi checks Oak and answers “We know more in couple days.”

Oak is passed out, breathing slowly as the two discuss what to do next; he will most likely not be waking up fully for a day or two.
