The Plans of Bandits(Redemtion Of Marek)

Jaxton helps with some evil plans..sort of helps more like watches and listens but it's still an important role play where my evilish rat plays a small part. Its mainly Coldclaw and some in his gang, but I said I would log so enjoy

• somewhere in the woods of Mossflower*

Jaxon walks along the road as he keeps an eye out for any beast, blade at his side.

Coldclaw is also here watching the road, right now looking a little bored.He has dyed his fur a deep coal black and keeps thick black gloves on his paws, the one finger appearsswollen but he seems to not care it seems. He has a longbow with him.

Coming up the road is a female squirrel, a simple walk is all she wanted from the hussel and bussle of the abbey as it starts to plant its crops and clear the fields to plant those crops, she decided to see if the market was open yet and maybe get material for an outfit for spring.

A trade beast comes down the road with a cart, he is a simple vole, and no one is with him as they walk. Spices, tea, silk, and some odds and ends fill the cart. He has a rabbit pulling the cart. “Well we are almost close to Ferravale, could sell my silk there and even some of the tea and spices; also further south Redwall may like spices and tea perhaps.” The vole says.

The rabbit grins, “I guess so Macky, I say we rest here tis still a little ways to Ferravale and I always like them to come to us than go all the way into the village, makes me a little nervous ya know”

Macky nods and smiles “Sure my friend”

The female squirrel sees the cart and walks over as she smiles “Hello? Do you know when the market opens, I was looking for something for a spring outfit maybe, but not like silk as I couldn’t afford that”

Bramblefur is close by and has been following the trade beasts, staying off on a wooded path by the road and every so often ducking out of sight. He sees the squirrel and sighs, great now he can’t do much without causing a scene.

Coldclaw takes aim at the rabbit, unlike the wildcat he could care less, they have a job to do and he is going to do it. He fires as soon as he has a clear shot and quickly motions a fox and ferret to come to his side as he starts to head towards the cart, his shots rarely miss.

The hare smiles as he walks towards the squirrel, “Well miss we have silk but also a nice material made of something between cotton and silk, would you…” It’s about all he gets out as a look of surprise comes upon his face and an arrow is seen in his throat, he falls over dead shortly after this onto the muddy path.

Jaxon stays off to the side for now just watching; he doesn’t want a panic either as a panic alerts those you rather not be alerted.

Macky is rushing over to his friend’s side quickly, ”Pongo!” He checks for a pulse and finds none and looks around .

The squirrel maid gasps and starts to back off, ok this is a little much for her as she starts to bolt south as fast as she can.

Bramblefur gives chase to the female squirrel and being larger and probably faster he will easily catch up and grab her from behind and place a paw over her mouth and the other one keeps her arms at her side.

Coldclaw and his two friends surround the vole, weapons drawn “I think you need to stay put woodlander and surrender like a good beast”

The squirrel maid tries to get loose and soon gives up as tears go down her face.

Macky frowns “Please..h..h..have whatever you want, it’s all yours just let me go. I am but a poor trade beast, I..I travel and sell things for a living and have no real home, friends even family and the rabbit was my only friend and he is now gone.”

Bramblefur brings over the squirrel and looks at Coldclaw on what to do next.

Jaxon walks over slowly and smirks “Well, looks like we have some supplies. And free ones at that. You’re a wise beast vole to hand them over do nicely”

Coldclaw forms a cold smile on his lips “Let you go? So you can tell others of this, no way”

Macky frowns “Your..your gonna enslave me?!”

The squirrel maid shivers at the word slave but doesn’t try to run as there is too many vermin here to do that.

Bramblefur stays by and listens, he then speaks “The chieftain of Ferravale doesn’t take kindly to slavery, it would only led to trouble for you Coldclaw.”

Coldclaw grows low “Did I say Slavery?. No I didn’t he won’t be a slave, neither him or the squirrel” He quickly does to slit the voles neck and looks to Bramblefur “Kill the squirrel, she can’t be allowed to live.”

Macky struggles and soon stops as he feels blood go down his neck and tries to stop the flow but it helps very little as his eyes close one last time and he slumps to the ground beside his friend.

Bramblefur speaks “I think she is an friend of the abbey and I cannot kill a friend of the abbey”

Jaxon simply stays quiet, he has little say so in this as he looks to see what the cart has to offer.

The cart has the silk, blues and reds and some yellow, some fancy tea and a few well know spices like pepper, salt, paprika and cinnamon.

Coldclaw answers in a flat tone, but still serious voice, “Who’s side are you on? Ours or theirs, you best pick now wildcat and you best pick correctly.”

Bramblefur narrows his eyes at the weasel and whispers to the squirrel “I am sorry.” He then lets hidden dagger on his wrist be released into her back, in a fatal area that kills must almost instantly.

The squirrel maid doesn’t have time to react before she feels the dagger and then nothing as her life ends.

Coldclaw smirks, “A wise choice, a wise choice indeed..we need to get going, oh and don’t touch the tea it’s for something special, that’s after a very special ingredient is added to it”

Bramblefur tilts his head” Something added to tea?”

Coldclaw nods, “You see, it will be simple and you can even play hero as you can deliver the tea and just say the trade beast went on south, it’s a gift for the fine leader and hopefully a couple others or least one other.” He walks over to the tea and opens the box, he looks at a vile he has as if unsure how much to use, he shrugs and pours it all in and closes the box to let it mix in “Now you get it to Ferravale and make sure Scioto drinks it, and if you can get Marek to drink it as well then ..all ..the..better” He laughs insanely.

Bramblefur nods “Yes sir, I shall go now” He takes the tea and turns to leave.

Jaxon decides to tag along with Bramblefur, besides he is a little bored.
