Plans Are..Talked Of...

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


Ebony sits at the campsite as not much is happening and this is one of those hot days you don’t want to go out, even to rob a beast, so she relaxes trying to figure out what to do about the captives, a squirrel and an old mouse, she yawns and looks over at her crew, rats and most asleep.

Patch fur is one that isn’t asleep; he is sharping one of his daggers with a sharping stone as he sits on an old tree stump in the camp.

Out of the shadows steps the wildcat, Morgan, he scans the campsite as he cooks some meat, “ We need a spy” He says suddenly.

Ebony looks over “Spy for what? Too hot to do much and what do you plan to do with that mouse and squirrel, the squirrel for one is annoying.”

Patchfur chuckles, “ And funny looking also, I mean paint and feathers…it’s funny and strange”

Morgan looks over at Patchfur, “No one asked you, in fact you could be the one to go do this, the plan is simple”

Ebony frowns slightly but listens, “Are you sure Patchfur is the best choice and what are we looking for info on anyways?”

Patchfur blinks “Me?. Why can’t you make Thorn do it, wake her lazy butt up”

Morgan speaks “I do not like being beat in a fight, and by a stripedog at that. You will go to the abbey and gain info, gain trust and say you will help find..well us, but in truth you will go nowhere near the campsite. I wish for that stripedog to pay. You can also make sure any beasts looking for captives will go the wrong way, that way they won’t find this camp, they will think you are telling the truth.”

Ebony listens, “And what if he messes this up?”

Patchfur nods “I can do that sure, but how do I go in, it’s not like they just allow vermin in, since You could be recognized and if I just give myself up they will probably lock me up, can’t spy then

Morgan gives an unpleasant chuckle, “Pretend to come willingly or give to their…nature of helping, your weak and hungry and wanted to help, fake an injury such as a sprang or something and if you do fail it’s simple really…your die by my paw”

Patchfur gulps and scoots back a little, now afraid of the wildcat.

Ebony stays quiet, she knows not to say much to this plan as she knows a non-angry wildcat is better than an angry one to have around her camp.

Morgan smirks, “Seems we have a deal then, oh and every so often you report to me, just go out with a..search party and get separated from them, find me and report what you learn and updates and such, then go back to the search party and act normal, and your go back to the abbey with them, simple”

Patchfur nods quickly, “Understood sir, gain trust and lie on where camp is. I can do that…umm what’s after I gain trust?”

Morgan smiles at this, “Simple, you can find a way to kill the strip dog and anyone else who you think is a threat to us, mainly I want revenge. Just make sure when it gets to that point you’re not caught and make it look like a horrible accident somehow.” He smiles wider “In fact I may have a way to make it seem…like something simple or not out of place, just keep me updated “

Patchfur nods and heads off to do what he has been told to do.

Ebony watches him go and looks to Morgan, “Is that wise?”

Morgan nods “Yes I think it is, he is good at what he does, either he will die or the badger will before too long”

Ebony just nods and decides this is not worth worrying too much on right now and decides to get in a nap and their camp is shady so that helps as well.
