It's Going To Be One Of Those Afternoons

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


Silent Blades Campsite(#99783R)

This is a well guarded camp so it would be VERY hard to sneak inside or out. The guards are skileld fighters and there is even a couple hidden archers in the trees or elsewhere. otherwise this camp is well hidden in thick woodlands, weeds and tall trees. There is enough room for a small campfire and a small shed used sometimes. Another area has been cleared where a pole is to chain a "guest" up and a guard beside them at all times. A path leads back out of this hidden clearing.

Exits: [O]ut to [C]learing

Ebony looks rather moody today, first the camp was attacked and since then they have moved, in her opinion to a much better location, but now she wonders just how long this location will last.

Patchfur sits not too far off with a grin on his face as if he has done something special.

Ebony walks over” What have you done? An abbey beast! We just had to put up with crazy squirrels not but less than a week ago and had to move and then you draw major attention to us. Do you even have a brain?”

Patchfur looks up as if hurt and glares, “Hey, that wasn’t my fault and I had to escape the place so took a hostage, sides maybe we can get a lot of shiny gold for his return or, or better yet sale him to a slaver. Just THINK of what they pay for an abbey brother and a high up one too!”

Morgan walks up, “That’s an excellent idea, but where is my gift. I don’t see it?” He stops in front of Patchfur, his gaze down at the rat not a pleasant one.

Ebony looks over at Morgan and nods, ”Hello Morgan, I see you’re awake now”

Patchfur gulps a little, “Hey ya Morgan sir…well you see I had to leave in a hurry and they almost had me, so no badger head sorry. Sides I don’t plan on going back and I don’t think he will be a threat if your concern”

Morgan narrows his eyes, “He prevented me from killing the chieftain of Ferravale!”

Ebony shakes her head. ”Then go try and kill him again, long as you stay out of Ferravale I see no problem, we are not slavers we just have captives and the healer will cause beasts to hunt for us and I rather that not happen.”

Patchfur decides to speak now, “Thorn most likely will help them, hey maybe I should wander back and slay her or hope she slips out again. I hate that kid”

Ebony is suddenly in his face” You harm Thorn and you answer to me” A deep growl forms in her throat.

Darkflower returns from a successful robbing as she has gold and bracelets and lays them down, she tilts her head sounding bored “What I miss now?”

Morgan watches his leader with interest, “Why do you care about Thorn, she abandon us and you know what that means, do you not, it means death”

Patchfur blinks and then steps back, “Hey hey now, she is a brat and she became friends with those abbey beasts. And what’s it matter she was never a full time member, you just asked her ta join and did for what a week? She is trouble” He looks at Darkflower ”Or nothing, boss lady is just getting moody again, oh and we have a new captive. Me and you should go to the Black Gull see if anyone needs a slave or two, what ya say?”

Ebony growls more ”She is my daughter and my orders are final, no one kills her or they answer to me” Her voice has a dangerous tone to it now.

Leon wakes up and opens his eyes as he blinks and then remembers where he is. He looks beside him at his sleeping father and over towards where the vermin are.

Darkflower shrugs and notices Leon waking up” The mouse is awake or does any beast care?”

Morgan goes look over at Leon but mainly has his attention on Ebony, “You don’t say Ebony? And what of your rule and if she does become a threat, she will have to die, all threats die” He then looks to Leon, “As for you mouse, you and the other one may not have to worry on being here too long”

Patchfur rolls his eyes and grins as he hears Morgan, “DO I get to kill him and leave his body on the road for his mate to find?”

Leon eyes go wide at this and then he clears his throat” If you do that I hope you can run fast, cause your need to be quick to leave the area or your be dead as well as soon as Dorarose catches up to you”

Ebony looks at Morgan, “I said nothing on killing the captives, leave them elsewhere for all I care but killing will just make them track us more and Patchfur would just come back here like a fool he is.”

Darkflower sits down and just listens.

Morgan smirks, “No..hand them over to a slaver and I know one that passes through here and we make sure the Abbey beasts know. As for Thorn I still say she dies, or..we can sell her to a slaver as well.”

Ebony growls again, “I do not care what you do to the mice, as long as it’s far from this camp, my daughter you leave alone and that’s an order not a request”

Leon says nothing, he looks at Taran and sighs as he hopes they are found before something happens.

Patchfur shrugs, “Whatever boss lady” He hides a smile when he turns around, what she doesn’t know won’t hurt him and he plans on Thorn no longer being a problem, one way or another.

Morgan looks at Patchfur and Darkflower “Come you two let’s go find my friend, see if he has an interest in a couple new slaves and maybe you two can do a little pick pocketing while we are there.”

Darkflower stands and walks over “Sounds fun, I need some new arrows and maybe a dagger.”

Patchfur goes to follow as well, “Yeah and some ale and woodpigeon too”

Ebony watches them go and sits down, she looks to Taran and Leon and walks off, returning with water and some blackberries and fish, “Here eat and drink, whatever happens to you two I am not going to be blaimed for death”

Leon looks surprised at the offer of food and water, “umm..thank you”

Ebony nods “Just eat and drink, its fine as that’s one thing, least me..I don’t do is poison any beast and if slavers do take you they would prefer healthy beasts over non healthy ones, now excuse me I am going into my tent to serious take a much needed nap”
