Ferrets: Ferdinand, male.
Rats: Clarissa, female.
Hedgehogs: Stonepaw, male.
Foxes: Darkwatcher, male.
Stonepaw is in the infirm, he has yet to wake up as he was unconscious. His eyes flutter open as he tries to focus on where he is and groans. The last thing he remembered was the crazy wildcat with a crossbow and an archer.
Blisa enters the Infirm, followed by Ferdinand and Clarissa. She tip-toes over to the hedgehog's bedside to check on him. "Hello?" She whispers.
Stonepaw blinks and focus on the cat, "Who...where?" Ok he is not tied down...check...he seems to be bandaged on the shoulder and collarbone and in a lot of pain "Where is...the lass?"
Darkwatcher enters the Infirmary, here to stock up on bandages. He has some gold to pay for them but hopes he won't have to--that's his drinking and weapons fund after all! He glances at Stonepaw and Blisa then returns to his search for bandages.
"My name is Blisa Wyrmtamer, and you're in the Ferravale Infirmary," the cat says in a friendly way. The ferret and the rat come forward and smile as the feline adds, "These are 2 of my bodyguards, Ferdinand and Clarissa." She points to each one in turn. "Who is the lass you were with? I think I know who you mean, but I would like to be sure." She thinks he's means Zinnia, but. Better safe than sorry.
Stonepaw answers "Zinnia, she is a badger the wildcat was about to try kill de the lass...I don't know what happen I passed out and woke 'ere"
"Not another crazy cat," Darkwatcher comments, then sees Blisa and hastily adds, "Present company excepted of course." He continues to rifle through cabinets and crates.
Blisa gives the fox a mock-grumpy look, then turns back to the hedgehog. "Last I heard, Zinnia was fine and safe, don't worry." Ferdinand crosses over to the vulpine and murmurs, "I'm not thure they'd apprethiate you mething with their thtuff."
Stonepaw nods "What...of that darn wildcat, he fired a crossbolt at de lass" Yep and it seems it landed in the hedgehogs shoulder area.
"Well...they could be more helpful," Darkwatcher replies airily. "I don't see them helping out beasts who need stuff. So I'll find it meself, thank ye."
Ferdinand smiles and shakes his head. "The bandageth are in the there," he says, pointing to the correct cabinet, then points to all the others and lists what's in them. How does /he/ know?? Blisa sighs. "I have not heard any more news about Zurrgg, sorry. But don't worry; when we catch him, justice will be served!" Possibly with the wildcat served as lunch to Basilisk, but she doesn't mention that right now.
Stonepaw frowns as he slowly sits up, "How did I get 'ere and how did de lass get ta safety?" He yelps in pain as he moves his arm and holds it at the shoulder where it and the collar area is bandaged tightly. "De wildcat be a crazy beast and he had this archer ferret with him"
Stonepaw says, "Bright red furred ferret, green eyes and seems to like longbows "
Darkwatcher opens up the indicated cabinet, muttering a gruff 'thanks' to Ferdy. He snatches up a fistful of bandages and stuffs them in his belt pouches. "Hmph."
Ferdinand refrains from chuckling, but can't resist smiling. "You thtill might want to athk before walkin' off with thothe, however.....jutht a friendly thuggethtion." Blisa puts her paws up in a 'calm down' gesture as Clarissa goes off in search of a Healer. "I'm not sure. This....Zurrgg set fire to some of our buildings a few months ago, but I don't think he had a ferret with him at the time. Trust me, we are doing everything we can to find them both."
"Well...I'll ask when the healer gets here," Darkwatcher huffs. He sits down on an empty cot and listens in on the conversation.
Stonepaw starts to say something when someone else speaks,"Zurrggg needs ta die is what he needs to do! He just about killed me great-niece...and if no one here will kill him this will" He holds the Blade of The Northwind Storm and has on, though a little loose on him, very familiar armor. He was a bit shorter than his nephew was but the armor fits fairly well, it would still protect him and it's no where close to fitting a possible future sword bearer and armor wearing badger he has yet to start training, but oh he will start very very soon weather any one says anything or not. "Zurrgg has Marek's crossbow and he has an assassin ferret with him and I be sure he has friends also"
Blisa turns and sees Zee in.... "Is that Zork's armour?" she whispers. Clarissa returns with a Healer, spots the badger, and does the sensible thing: Hides behind Ferdinand and Darkwatcher and asks, "I say, Cap'n, messmate, is 'e attackin' or....what?" Ferdinand ignores her and adresses the badger, nodding. "We would kill him if he knew where he wath, believe me. Mith Blitha wantth to feed him to her thnake. We jutht aren't thure of where he ith." He then nudges the fox and says, "You're a merc, right? Maybe you'd like to kill a crazy wildcat before he trieth to burn down Ferravale again."
"How much does it pay?" Ah, Darkwatcher. Ever pragmatic. "I'm a merc if it pays well enough." He tosses a throwing knife to himself a few times from his belt. "I can take him," he says airily.
Zee folds his arms over his chest, he does have Zork's former armor on it's true. He snorts as he shakes his head "Guess depends on who gets to Zurgg first, he also has 2 twin blades. I seen him in de northlands, he is insane and a skilled fighter and had some helpers up thar as well. If I had not had a sudden feeling, an urging to get the Blade and come to the path when I did....ya all would be telling the abbey why their recorder was dead, I barely prevented her death. The wildcat and his trigger happy pal left, and the guard came. They are the ones who helped get de Hedgehog here and hopefully me niece home safe"
Stonepaw says, "The name is...Stonepaw"
Blisa sniffs, then swallows and stands up a little straighter. She does miss Zork.... "I'll pay you a gold if you're the one who kills him, D.W., and if you don't, then I'll pay you a silver for your trouble. Deal?" Leave it to the Chieftain/Warlord-ess-In-Training to do the bargaining. Ferdinand now whispers to Clarissa to answer her question. The Healer comes over to check the hedgehog's bandages.
"Fair enough," Darkwatcher says. "You're a friend, otherwise I'd charge a lot more for such a job." He stands by the door to the outside and whistles sharply. There's a flap of wings, and a crow lands next to him. "Dethwing, go look for wildcats. Besides Scioto and Blisa!" he adds quickly as the crow peers inside. "Do not attack; report back to me instead."
Zee speaks "Or least kill his assassin, that's his right pawed beast..." He walks over to Blisa "Ya ok lass?" He asks quietly and rubs his eyes, "I am still being careful, Zurrgg wants me dead...he even said so but he also said he has some other thing ta do, no clue wot that be but can't be a good thing"
Stonepaw says, "The archer is a red ferret"
Blisa nods and smiles a tiny little bit. "Aye, I'm....I'll be okay. I just.....wasn't expecting to see anybeast in Zork's armour, is all." Ferdinand and Clarissa follow her as she heads out the door. "Understood, Darkie. Next time you see your bird friend, I would suggest warning him to never enter my house; Basil likes to eat intruders." Pausing in the doorway, she smiles at them a little more and adds, "I'm going to tell my father about this latest development. Have a good day, and please be careful." Then the 3 of them are gone.
"Darkie?!?!" The fox whispers to himself incredulously. "Well...time to go hunting." He checks that everything's in order, and off he goes. But he never paid for the bandages...
Zee watches all the beasts leave and looks at the hedgehog, "Sorry" He mutters and decides to head on out himself, the tavern here has good ale!
