Mudfur Attacks!

Raymond is just about to go on duty as he decides to get a quick bite of food at the tavern first; he sits down and looks to see whom is around.

Willowheart is making some oatmeal with dried fruit and nuts, she places a bowl and a glass of greensap milk in front of Raymond, “Breakfast is an important meal, wot"

Raymond glances down, "Yeah suppose so, thanks." He leaves the coins needed for the meal and starts to eat it slowly and takes a gulp or two of the milk.

Willowheart frowns, "Ya suppose? It is and I bet Oakenpaw would agree, well once he gets here"

Raymond says, "He is most likely busy, healer stuff or supplies, that sort of thing."

Willowheart nods, "Yeah, I need to talk to him, tell him how I feel"

Raymond tilts his head as he eats, "Feel bout what?"

Willowheart smiles, "That I love him, you know I am going to tell him that right now" She goes to head to the door.

Mudfur opens the tavern door at about this time and smirks as he stands in the way of the hare maid, "How sweet..Young love, but change of plans, I need a hostage for a simple exchange and, your do" He reaches out to grab her arm.

Raymond nods "That’s a.." He stops when he sees Mudfur and draws his weapon. “You’re going nowhere. What exchange?" He steps closer to Mudfur.

Willowheart gasps as her arm is grabbed and right away starts pulling away, "Release me! Let me go!"

Mudfur smirks, he looks at the head guard, "I want the cat Astra...give me her or Scioto can and I give the hare back to the village.", He grabs ahold of the hare better and draws his sword with his other paw and lays the sword at her throat and goes to back out of the tavern.

Raymond glares, "Take another step back your regret it" He steps forwards carefully and gets his own blade out now and angles it.

Willowheart struggles more and stops when she sees the blade and frowns deeply.

Mudfur rolls his eyes, "I say..step closer and your regret it not me, tell your chieftain to meet me by the road later today or I start slaying beasts starting with the pretty hare."

Willowheart shivers slightly at this and looks down at the floor.

Raymond grips his blade and steps forwards till he is almost beside Mudfur, “You’re not taking the hare while I stand"

Mudfur watches him, he still has his free paw, one holds the blade at the hare maid throat, the other free of anything, he sighs as if defeated and then gets a dagger coated with something from his side and just as quick goes to stab Raymond in the arm with the coated dagger and smiles coldly.

Raymond gasps in pain as the dagger sinks in his arm and backs up holding it as blood pours some, the wound starts burning and he tenses up in pain.

Willowheart eyes go wide as she watches this and stays still.

Mudfur chuckles, "Pain?..Oh don’t worry it won't kill ya right away, you have a couple days, poison so..fun, it starts quick then slowly gets worse over next couple days till you die, won’t talk..won’t walk or move much...will effect breathing and heart and well...then you’re dead, see I have a antidote, your get that too once I have Astra, good day or maybe not so good for you..hee heeee" He leads the harem maid out sword at her throat still.

Raymond growls low and tries to follow but falls flat on his face, he stays on the floor shivering some.

Willowheart has tears go down her face as she is now scared and no clue what to do.

Raymond frowns, he looks around and passes out.
