Rat Problems and Pike wakes up

Jake walks out of the abbey and towards the road cloak on and his longbow at his side and quiver of arrows on his back, but as he walks towards the road he bumps into another beast whom is there, he blinks and looks up “Excuse me..Was just going, can't talk chap or..Whomever"

Silverfangs is nearby and glances over, curious of what is going on, he stays quiet.

Maxtor catches up to Silverfangs, looking around he sighs. "The Abbey at last"

The figure in front of the hare, who isn't the fox, smirks as his face is shown "Your making an unwise decision Jake, you will find what you seek but it ends badly and all within a short amount of time" Jake blinks as he about stumbles backwards and gasps "It can't..B?" The figure grins and nods as he repeats "Don't leave the abbey and seek the rat..It will led to death, and not his"

Silverfangs isn't paying attention to Maxtor, he can see the figure Jake does, he hmmmms slightly.

Oak comes around the abbey gates half asleep and still in his sleeping clothes. "*yawn*". He sees the figure and blinks. "Is 'dat....nah, 'tis me eyes playin' those tricks on me 'ead"

Jake frowns “But he.." His sentence isn't finished as the figure whispers something to him and touches him lightly on the forehead and steps back..This leaves Jake backing up and stares at him.." I...but...." He sighs and nods "Fine Bastien but only..Only cause you said so, but wot bout the rat...he can't be left ta stay..Well causing trouble" The figure nods "True but remember a saying..Divided we fall....together we stand" With this he leaves and Jake blinks and just stands there. He then glances over at the others and looks down not sure what to say yet.

Silverfangs steps forwards "You’re..Mystery visitor is right..For whatever it be the trouble is, facing such alone would be unwise"

Although the squirrel is half asleep, Maxtor sees the figure all too well. "Jake?...who was that?"

Oak shakes his head. "'tis time for me to go back to 'me bed"

Jake is confused and speaks "You saw?" He shakes his head and sighs " His name is..Was Bastien, a..An old friend of mine and yeah best to jolly well listen ta him suppose, wot"

Maxtor blinks. "Umm...I thought you said Bastien died"

Jake nods "He did,..ummm, long story and..let's just go inside safer think" He heads inside towards great Hall.

Maxtor looks at Jake. "What rat?, ...wait, is Bloodclaw causing trouble again...I hate that rat"

Silverfangs enters the room and glances around, he then finds a chair and sits down with a yawn and rubs the back of his neck some muttering about long walks and lets the two talk.

Jake frowns "Well...a hamster said his name be Bloodclaw, not sure how the hamster knew...and yes he bally well is causing trouble, lots"

Maxtor nods. "Morrax?, yes well, it was Bloodclaw that killed Whoe"

Jake nods as he sighs, still a bit shaken about the visitor, he clears his throat, "That rat tried to kill me friend, my friend is in the infirm now hurt bad"

Maxtor sighs. "Yes, well if that Bastien fellow said not to mess with Bloodclaw, he's in the right mind and you’re not. Bloodclaw may be a vanquish able foe, but he can kill any one beast who approaches his path, I watched him kill four skilled warriors in the same battle"

Jake shakes his head and makes a fist, he slams it into the table and frowns again "I. Bloodclaw needs stopped before he hurts someone...I could easily kill him with my longbow, long range weapon"

Silverfangs has fallen asleep, tried from the long walk to the abbey.

Maxtor shrugs. "I don't know. If a beast comes back from the dead to tell you NOT to, it must be really important NOT to, so DON'T!".

Jake manages a chuckle, a small one "He didn’t jolly well come back from the dead Max...just, something called an ancient or...think that was it, been so long since even been there"

Maxtor blinks. "He didn't look ancient". He pauses to think for a moment, with a grin. "Now you on the other hand...."

Jake glares at the mouse and counts to ten quietly, he shakes his head "Let's change the subject maybe Max lad..."

Pike limps into the room and glances around, a vole follows him "Sir...sir I do believe its....ahhhhh" the vole is stopped from talking by a swift swing of the otters paw, the otter misses and cusses "I will NOT be in no land lovin' infirm, don' be needin' an infirm, can treat me own wounds ya pest!!"

Morrax walks into the room slowly. He has his fez back now. "Good Afternoon Jake, err..". He thinks for a moment when he sees Maxtor. "and Maxtor", he finally says. He blinks at the otter raging entry. "Now sir, please. There are dibbuns here. Redwall Abbey is a peaceful place, and you sir, are disturbing the peace"

Jake nods, he doesn't even look up as he hears the loud voice of the otter and shakes his head "Yes some bally well respect be good..." He looks at the otter "Pike"

Maxtor is a bit afraid of the sea otter. "Umm...how do you know this...otter"

Pike looks at Jake and limps over to him, he chuckles deeply "Well tis be Jake, "He looks around the room and frowns "This place gone done and made ye soft or some en'..." He looks at the mouse and grins, one of those slightly scary grins "Hee heeeya a land lover arn't ya laddie?"

Morrax seems to be a little too quiet, finally he suddenly becomes a little too active. He approaches Pike at an amazing speed at stares at him with cloudy wide eyes. "The Troubled ones, four they be. Three from land, and one from sea. But The Bloodstained Claw has become a curse. A flame in Mossflower, to get much worse. Together you stand, Divided you fall"

Jake looks at Pike "Stop being so moody Pike, this is Redwall Abbey and you need to stay even if it’s just ta heal up wot wot"

Pike looks at the hamster "Ya speaking odd ya...errrr wha' sort of creture ya be lad?" He looks at Jake and rolls his eyes .

Maxtor finally decides its okay to speak to the otter. "Morrax is a hamster, he also appears to be a seer. Trust me, I know a seer when I see one"

Pike smirks "How nice mousey.." He grins at Jake and decides to sit down beside him "So..ya hang out at this her'..abbey was it mateie?"

Jake sighs and looks at Pike "Manners are nice use em Pike..least while here please" He gets up and returns again, his longbow now in the gatehouse as he closes his eyes and rests his chin on his paws, in deep thought seems, he then covers his face and is quiet.

Morrax finally comes back to reality. "Why are you in my face?" he asks Pike, he shrugs and walks back off to his chair.

Maxtor goes off into the kitchens. "I'll be right back"

Pike starts to say something, probably rude, when he notices Jake's quietness and frowns."Wha' be the matter matey?..ye never was this quiet before'" He seems concern and moves a leg and tenses up in pain and cusses under his breath at the shot of pain and grumbles.

Torry slips into Cavern Hole while the mouse was leaving, having heard some voices. He felt curious about what was going on inside, and decided to let the curiosity get the better of him. Jake doesn't answer right away and finally looks up, the fur under his eyes wet he shrugs simply and stays quiet for now

Morrax smiles. "Maybe Maxtor can get us some food"

Pike blinks and grins at the idea of food "chow, ya...some hotroot be the thing I be think' matey, wha ya say lad?"

Maxtor comes back into the room with a plate of fried cherry scones, he looks at every beast in the room, realizing several have never tried them before. "Trust me, their good, I'm a good cook"

Morrax picks one up and munches on it, he nods. "Weird...but good"

Jake looks at the scones and doesn't get one, he shakes his head "Not jolly well hungry"

Torry peeps out of his hiding spot at the smell of what could possibly be scones, and gives a smile. Though he doesn't say anything. A little too timid to, more than likely.

Pike gets a scone and sniffs it, he makes a face and sits it down “Need some real grub thars no kick to this "

Maxtor blinks Jake?...Not Hungry?....How could this be? :P. "Are you okay Jake, you always eat my Fried Cherry Scones. He looks at Pike. "Sure there's a kick...its Fried. Only Maxtor's famous Cherry Scones are Fried...come on...try it"

Jake answers "No, I am not ok....leave me alone.all of ya!" He storms out and into the other room and on somewhere else in the abbey.

Pike watches Jake go and raises an eyebrow "What was that about?"

Maxtor blinks. "Umm....Jake?"

Torry squeaks out in surprise at the outburst, and ducks back behind his hiding spot, heavily surprised.

Pike looks at the dibbun and to Maxtor "Umm...something I said or..wha?"

Maxtor nods. "Yes little one, Jake is angry"

Torry frowns a little bit more, clearly not liking to see others being furious like that. "Happy drinks?" was the only solution he could come up with.

Maxtor slaps his forehead. "I don't know young one...I don't think Jake drinks much"

Torry twiddles his thumbs, not really sure what to do to cheer someone up.

Maxtor eats one of his own scones, feeling as if they would end up going to waste since neither the otter or the hare would eat them.

Torry watches the mouse eat a scone, and smiles sheepishly. "Scone, pwease?" he asked sweetly.

Pike shrugs, he looks at the scones again and makes a face, he grins "Ya cook right

mouseie...knows how make skilly n' duff?"

Maxtor hands a scone to the dibbun. "I can cook Regular Scones, Fried Scones, a few soups, I can cook pie, I can cook fish, I can..."

Torry gives a happy smile at being handed a scone, and scarfed it down right away. "Yumyum!~"

Pike shakes his head "No..skilly n' duff....its potatoes, freshwater shrimp, salt, hot pepper and lots of spicy hot root"

Maxtor blinks. "I don't cook hotroot, I HATE hotroot, besides what kind of Skilly 'n duff is that. I always thought it was ya know...Pudding, dates, maybe some..."

Pike chuckles deeply "Otters would love it mate, well..if they be a handling it that be, heee hee"

Torry tilts his head curiously, but decides not to ask the question. Instead, he just licked the crumbs of the scone off of his mouth.

Maxtor backs up from the otter. "No...can't cook that"
