RW Abbey: Great Hall

---

The Great Hall of Redwall Abbey. Countless paw falls have echoed from these stones, and untold numbers of feasts and merry gatherings have been held here.  A table, not nearly so grand or large as its predecessors, but quite functional for mealtimes, rests near the center of the hall. Chairs exist here aplenty, and they are all of a matching set. High above, the stain glass windows give the Great Hall a beautiful appearance.  The glasswork is exceptionally done, crafted by a skilled artist.  The floor is clean and swept. A fire is kept burning in the fireplace at almost all times of the day and night, and there are several more comfortable chairs and cushions set up here, of varying sizes. One looks large enough to easily accommodate a badger.

The Tapestry hangs proud and tall, and while the rest of Redwall may still bear the scars of natural disaster, this most famous of Redwall's relics remains unharmed by beast, time, or the elements. The figure of Martin the Warrior seems to be watching over his own with an unchanging, kindly gaze.

Red, blue, orange, green...vibrant patterns of color are painted on the floorstones of Great Hall by the high afternoon sun that is streaming through the stained glass windows.

[IC] Biff

[DYN] Flicktail

[DYN] Hafyaramla

[IC] Silver

Silver nod's his head."Aye i know...I let you help your self to my herb's...rember!"

"Yes well we *are*..." Tyree looks back at Haf, raising his eyebrows. "/Good./ At what we do." He finishes the water and sets the cup down. "An' I'm sure a moody bird will be fairly easy ta' handle if the well-bein' of the Abbey is at stake."

Maxtor rubs his head. "What did Oz do?"

Silver shrug's."Just talked."

Maxtor looks down at his foot. "6 more days"

Biff laugh's at silver."Aye I rember..."

Silver smile's."We can do it in five!"

Flicktail asks, "Lt do ya think you and some o yer hares coudl elp me a bit with ma sword play? bein a peaceful beast oi never learned the blade proper"

Biff Giggle's."I could do it in 4!"

Maxtor shakes his head. "Didn't learn to use the sword AND your the Abbey Champ, not a good combination if you ask me"

Silver throw's the carrot top's at Maxtor (he save's them for this)."You can be good at other weapon's to you know!"

Flicktail huckles to Maxtor "Oi learned e sword as a vermin which were to take a old blade and hack away wi it loike ya was chopin weeds...."

Maxtor nods. "I know...I use the staff"

Tyree turns to Flicktail, his expression finally showing something more than vague disinterest, and now seems... confused! He blinks a few times. "You... didn't?" he asks. "But... you've fought, correct? I mean... you're the Champion. Forgive me, I was just under the impression that you... *did* know the blade proper. We sparred an' you won, back at the mountain."

Biff go's into a full out laughing fit."haha do you save the carrot tops to throw at Max, Silver hahaha?"

Flicktail looks to Tyree "oi did best oi could wi some instruction, but the blade be lighter then a normal blade, gives me an hadvantage, makesit look loike oi knows more en oi do, and Oi would be honored ta learn from a fighta such as yerself"

Hafyaramla's eyebrows mirror tyree's, bouncing up and hiding behind her fringe. She seems about to say something, but stops short as flicktail eases into the conversational pause. She looks between the two, biting her lip. Her fingers fidget idly in her lap.

Flicktail says, "oi didn't mean ta interrupt ya Ram..."

Tyree seems at a bit of a loss for words himself, and gladly hands the conversation back to Ram, waiting for her to say something as he gathers his thoughts. Not every day a simple lieutenant is challenged to a fight by the dread Red Warrior.

Silver also start's laughing."Well yes i do infact hahaha!"

Biff fall's on the floor laughing.

Maxtor blinks. "What's everyone laughing about?"

Silver is laughing to hard to say anything.

Biff look's over at maxtor."Haha silver hahaha save's his hahaha carrot top haha to throw at you hahaha!"

Maxtor slaps his forehead, and puts on a face of mock rage. "Why you little'

Silver is now also rolling on the floor laughing."Well i say no need to call your self name's max!"

Maxtor mock-growls. "I'm talking about you, you...YOU...nevermind". He finishes by laughing

Hafyaramla blinks, as attention is suddenly turned on her. Her ears flatten and she licks her lips, clearly uncomfortable with more than one pair of eyes on her. "Well..combat training...that's intense...I mean it's not like dancing, watch beast's footpaws, take a lesson and yehr done it's....You'd be staying a while if ya did that..."

Biff try's to sit up but is laughing to hard.

Silver look's at maxtor."Well MAX I am sorry for...well nothing much at least with you!" he keep's on laughing

Maxtor joins the hare in laughing. "Alright, I admit it's kinda funny"

Silver just look's at him he is laughing to hard to talk.

Biff smile's at maxtor sill laughing."Only kinda funny?"

Maxtor nearly falls out of his chair. "Don't make me roll on the floor laughing, you'll irritate my foot"

Silver laugh's."Wot is laughing have to do with your foot?"

Tyree honestly wonders why everyone is laughing. He decides to keep going with the current conversation. "I'll only be stayin' as long as necessary..." he murmurs, watching Ram's clear discomfort. "'A while' might be a foregone conclusion, dependin' on how much needs doin.'" He looks back at Flick. "But I'm sure combat trainin' for the Champion of all things won't take up *too* much time."

Biff is trying to stop laughing but is just laughing harder.

Flicktail miles wanting to get Tyree and Ram togethers "oh not TOO much but a bit wouldn't ya say?

Silver look's at the two."Well i say why did we start laughing?"(somthing better to ask is when will thay stop)

Biff shrugs."I forgot!" She just keep's on laughing.

Hafyaramla nods in agreement with the fox, but she looks a bit perplexed as to exactly why the tod agrees. "Em, yes well, not the fighing type meself, I wouldna know a bow from a cannon really..." She says, drawing her knees up towards her torso.

Maxtor says, "If I start rolling on the floor, I'll irrate my foot...walking stomach"

Silver laugh's."I had a feeling you would bring that up!"

Maxtor laughs. "It's true"

Biff put's on a face of sadness."Well I say..."

Silver still laughing."Look what you did now Max!"

Maxtor blinks. "B-But I didn't mean tooo....oh dont feel....ARGH!...umm...sorry"

Tyree peers. At Flicktail. Is he on to something? "Yes... a bit," he agrees, cautiously. He squares his shoulders, wonders what Ram means by a 'cannon,' and looks to the roof. He struggles not to say something about Ram not looking like a fighter anyway. He's still smarting from all the unwelcome stares given to Patrollers back at Halyard. "We can't all be in the Fighter's Corps," he says instead. "If we were all only good for one thing, we wouldn't last very long. In any case, I shall be needing a good, comprehensive report on the Abbey's status so I can make a quick message to Salamandastron." This last part is said to Flicktail. "Got anythin' like that?"

Biff look's at maxtor and start's laughing."You fell for it!?!"

Maxtor has a face full of mock-rage. "You Big Faker!!"

Flicktail Ruffles under his tunic and withdraws a parchment in Father Lorimi's paw and offers it to the LP Hare, it contains a list of the Abbey Stores and needs

Silver is now rolling on the floor for the second time tonight.

Biff just keep's on laughing."Aww poor mouse thought I was sad..."

Maxtor hmphs. "I'm never talking to you two again"

Biff laugh's even harder."Well that is ok I like silver more!"

Maxtor ignores Biff, and Silver

Silver let's out a little giggle over top his laughing.

Maxtor ignores Silver

Tyree lowers his voice a bit. "Do they... do this a lot?" he asks Flick and Ram, flicking an ear at the laughing trio.

Hafyaramla looks at Flicktail, even more perplexed. "Ya just keep that with ya at all times...in case ya might need ta read off lists ta beasts?" She doesn't understand. These beasts are always carrying things around with them. She then turns to Tyree. "Or were ya expected?" She asks, being a proper nose.

Flicktail says, "Father Lorimis's idea, fer me to avbe it so when beasts come we can get aid from them wot we need, oi kin barely write"

Biff look's at silver."I think I broke max!"

Maxtor ignores Biff

Silver laugh's even harder at biff."I think so to!"

Maxtor ignores Silver

Hafyaramla glances over her shoulder at the others. "The laughing? No...but the volume....." She cringes. "S'best ta avoid tha Great Hall if it's quiet yehr aftah."

In the middle of his ignoring, Maxtor pulls out his flask and drinks from it. Then he continues his Ignoring.

Biff try's to look up at maxtor and offer's him a carrot."Is mister mousey mad...would you like a carrot?"

Maxtor ignores Biff

Biff leave's the carrot on maxtor's lap and roll's back over by silver.

Maxtor gets up out of his chair and limps to the other side of the room.

Silver roll's after maxtor."slow down Max!"

Maxtor limps faster, and continues to ignore Silver.

Biff roll's behind silver."I think we are acting worse than dibbon's!"

Silver sit's up."Come on max..."

Maxtor ignores Silver

The Cook walks into the room and stares down at Silver. "Umm...Do you know where this Otter is?"

Flicktail looks to Tyree and Ram

Silver is laughing even harder."I think he is looking for Flicktail hahaha!"

"I will certainly endeavor ta' do so. Thought Abbeys were supposed ta' be places of reflection, wot..." Tyree has to bite back words about how, yes, they are acting worse than dibbuns! He takes the paper presented by Flicktail and looks it over. "Right. I'll write up a letter an' get it sent immediately. As I'm 'ere mostly ta' report on the situation, I cannot say exactly what aid will follow. More Patrollers or no." A short glance at Ram. "I shall be in the library."

Bookman arrives from the Staircase..

Bookman has arrived.

Bookman walks into the great hall. "'ello all"

".

Maxtor shakes his head. "Oh no!...not him"

Silver looks at bookman."Found your otter mr.cook!"

Flicktail says, "the Library woudl be a betterplade I agree" he offers an arm to escort Ram.

The Cook walks over to Bookman. "You, ate all the hotroot?"

Biff is laughing so hard that all that is comeing out is a squeek.

Bookman shakes his head. "no sir, I 'ad 'elp from a 'are ...I mean ta say...I dinna eat any....the 'are did". He points to Silver. "'e ate it all, 'e did"

Maxtor laughs. "This is funny"

The Cook walks over to Silver. "So?"

Silver is laughing to hard to say any thing.

Flicktail heads off towards the Library..

Flicktail has left.

Tyree pauses just a moment, his ears twitching. He didn't think they'd *follow* him... in any case, he continues walking, hoping for a relief from deranged Abbeybeasts and quiet dislike of the Patrol he grwe up in.

Hafyaramla takes the arm, somewhat confused, and is gien the unpleasant surprised of being whisked away into the library, She casts Tyree an apologetic look as he pauses, ears splayed. "Em, well....righto."

Biff watch's the group leave."I wonder wot thay are doing?"

Maxtor laughs. "Umm....Silver the Cook is here"

Silver is laughing alot less now."Err right..."

The Cook glares at Silver. "Well?"

Silver shrug's."Well we ate alot of hotroot!"

The Cook grabs Silver and Bookman by the Collars. "Well?"

Biff laugh's but less."Well I say what is this talk about hotroot..."she look's at the cook."Do you mind if I take some mr.cook?"

Bookman shakes his head. "I dinna do anything, I told ya, the 'are did it all"

Silver smile's at biff."Sorry biff ate it all!"

Bookman nods. "we...ummm...I mean the 'are ate it all...Oh I give up....We 'ad an 'otroot eating contest....It's my fault...let the 'are go"

Biff let's a tear run down her face."Wot...but...why would you do this to me!?!"

The Cook puts the hare down. "Okay, but be careful, and NO Hotroot Contests......Extra Chores for both of you"

Silver stand's up and find's his chair."Well I say that was odd."

Biff also stand's up and walks over to silver."That was fun..."she kisses silver on the cheek than run's of.

Silver fall's out of his chair.

Maxtor laughs. "I see Mr. Walking Stomach has just met Mrs. Walking Stomach"

Silver just lay's there.

Bookman chuckles. "Don't be so mean to the 'are...he's just lovestruck that's alll, the walking stomach joke gets old". He continues chuckling.

Bookman walks towards the stairs. "I 'ave to be going sah, very sorry I counna spend more time with ya"

Bookman heads over towards the Stairs..
