Tunnels and a new dad!

Torry shakes his head sadly, biting his lip. "No..."

Lorimis says, "Well then come here with me" He smiles "And when we can we will go"

Torry scoots over to sit in his lap, whimpering. "I miss my friends."

Lorimis says, "Well just think how happy it will be when ya get back" he nuzzles the dibbun.

Torry sniffles. "Father... will we ever get out of here?"

Lorimis says, "of course. That Bloodclaw fellow is not very smart"

Torry clings to Lorimis tightly. "I hope you're right..."

All of a sudden, Miller's head pops up and he smiles at Torry and Lorimis. "Well 'ello foither abbot, oi'm Miller, oi'm the Foremole oi am" he kicks up a pile of dirt. "Oi've cumm te save ye"

Lorimis asks, "fore Mole? hmmm I do not seem to remember a fore mole. Do you Torry? you don't happen to have any deep beat root pie on you do you?"

Torry looks up at Lorimis, then back to Miller, smiling. "Hello!" he said. As it seemed rescue was here, he was happy all over again.

From behind Miller, Oak also emerges. "I don' like bein' unnerground, always worried I'm gonna be buried alive!" he smiles when he sees Torry. "'Ello Torry, Father Abbot"

Lorimis says, "I would like to say good bye to that Blood claw fellow...."

Torry slips off of Lorimis' lap, looking back at him. "We're saved?" he asked with a smile.

Flicktail looks up as his head emerges from the tunnel hole, "Be that Torry oi be hearin?" The rest of the fox can't fit in.

Torry looks over to Flicktail... or at least, his head, and waves. "Hello, Flicktail!"

Oak smiles. "Ye beat 'yer rat's tail necklace yer' saved..." He looks towards the hole. "Err....Flicky?, stupid fox" He mumbles.

Lorimis says, "oh dear me...You meant Flicktail"

Flicktail smiles to Torry and wiggles his ears.

Torry smiles cheerfully, taking said necklace out of his pocket. "I got it!"

Lorimis says, "I really did want to thank that Rat for his hospitality"

Miller points towards the tunnel. "Noiw everybeast jus' 'urry quickly, oi be....Flicky?" he shoves Flicktail's head down. "Go back 'te the udder ead...'oi didn't make the tunnel big enough for ye...*sigh* we'll foind a way to get ye in.." He looks at everyone. "Noiw everrybeast grab Flicky's 'stremly loirge 'ead and PUSH..." He grabs Flicktails head. "Common, 'ere she cumm, 'ere she go, heave....HO!"

Flicktail blinks as he's shoved back in.

Lorimis says, "you beasts first, go on Torry"

The Trap door opens as Bloodclaw storms down.

Lorimis exclaims, "Oh Mr. Bloodclaw!" he waggles his fingers "So very nice visit we had" He smiles kindly.

Bloodclaw yells "WHAT IS GOING ON, HOW CAN 3 BEASTS MAKE SO MUCH NOISE....DAGGER! are you torturing the abbot again?!"He steps the rest of the way down when his question isn't answered.

Torry squeaks in surprise, quickly running to his corner.

Lorimis points Torry to the way out, "Um..THAT way lad”

Torry bites his lip, and goes back over, grabbing Lorimis' paw. "Come with me!"

Lorimis says, "Well of course lad, behind the others, don’t worry Mr. Bloodclaw is NOT all that bright"

Oak is too busy trying to push Flicktail's head into the tunnel to notice that Bloodclaw has arrived; "HEAVE...HO!" suddenly he turns. "Bloody?...'now we 'ave some party time!" he pulls out his bow and aims it at Bloodclaw. "Can 'ye dance?...too bad, DANCE!"

Miller finishes helping Flicktail get the rest of the way below and faces Bloodclaw. "Err, oi didn't bring a weapon, do oi need one?"

Torry digs into his habit desperately, before remembering the knife had been dropped from him sneaking out. "Uh-oh..."

Lorimis says, "Oh heavens will you beasts just get into the hole" The abbot chuckles.

Bloodclaw growls as he dodges the almost completely accurate arrows of Oak, and watches as a score of random vermin die. "Errr.....you dance!" He throws the poison dagger at Oak.

Lorimis chuckles letting the dagger hits the bars of the cage.

Oak manages to dodge the dagger as it hits the wall where his head was just a half-second ago.

Torry whimpers, tugging harder on Lorimis' paw. "Come on! Come on!"

Lorimis puts Torry thru the hole to the waiting Flicktail arms "Come on you other beasts not leaving without you...Bye bye Mr. was it dudclaw?”

Miller is dodging blows from the blades of vermin. "err, it'd be noice if ye could do summat Flicky, did 'ye bring the sword o Mortin?"

Flicktail is in the tunnel which is small he cannot fit thru the hole he's providing tail security.

Miller shoves Oak into the tunnel on top of Flicktail's head, plunging it back through the tunnel. "Come on!" he faces Lorimis. "Urry!"

Lorimis is a mouse, he can scurry thru tunnels..showing Bloodclaw his tail on the way out.

Oak oofs as he used a shovel to pound Flicky's head. "I'm gonna kill you later mole!, I'm gonna kill you!...right after we get out of this!"

Bloodclaw screams. "Dagger!....Dagger!.....tell them to collapse this Tunnel!, COLLASPE IT!...DO IT NOW!" He unlocks the door to the cell and..is in!

Torry looks over to Bloodclaw, and blows him a raspberry, teasing. "Later, tailless rat!" He taunted, leaping down the hole after the others.

A vermin weasel ummms "Dagger missing boss." Bloodlcaw growls "Then you do it!!!NOW!!"

Flicktail chuckles "Collapse a Mole tunnel..oh you ARE a crazy rat" Flicky's head disappears as they exit.

Several vermin appear and break many large items across the floor. While filling in the area where the woodlanders just exited the tunnel becomes very unstable!

Lorimis isn't worried as the woodlanders are led out by Molers.

Flicktail brings up the rear.

Torry whimpers nervously as he follows the group. "Scary..."

Oak panics and gets ahead of all the others "Move move..get me out of here!"

Flicktail asks, "wot be scary/ molers?"

Oak shakes his head as he runs into the area. "AHHH!...no...it's..I’m afraid of lows..okay!"

Miller chuckles. "Hurr hurr, oi don't think he loikes bein' underground!"

Torry follows quietly, trying not to whimper... too much.

Bloodclaw laughs as he screams loud enough that the woodlanders are sure to hear him. "How does approaching death feel?!"

Flicktail calls back "yer daft there Claws" and chuckles.

Oak grins and runs out of the tunnel and gets out first. "urry, urry, if Torry dies I'm gonna kill 'ye all...wait, that don' make any sense!"

Miller manages to get out of the tunnel 2nd. "Zurrs you'm best be a 'urryin, uzz moles can keep the tunnels up very long"

Torry tries to run just a tad faster, but due to being so small, he wasn't really a fast runner. He was keeping behind Lorimis though - making sure the abbot got out alive.

A vermin rushes in. "Sir, the prisoners have escaped they are coming out a tunnel in the grasslands, he he…"He frowns.

Lorimis moves outside with the Torry squirrel.

Flicktail emerges hollering "TADA!"

Torry pops out of the hole, looking curious. "Freedom!"

Bloodclaw growls. "This...isss..." he stabs the vermin that reported this with his poison dagger and the vermin falls over, dead. "WARRRRRRRR!!!!" He says the last word so loud, that everyone is Mossflower is sure to hear him.

Flicktail says, "Ya won’t"

Flicktail asks, "ya wants ta go ome Torry Lad?"

Torry wipes a little dirt off of his paws, smiling. "Mollie's gonna be mad that I missed a lesson..."

Oak smiles. "Let's go home Torry buddy," he smiles at Torry. "Hey, 'ye still lookin' fer a Daddy?"

Lorimis says, "Well we will just have her punish ol Bloodclaw"

Torry smiles sheepishly at Oak, nodding sheepishly.

Miller coughs. "Oi nevver do that again, lets get off to de abbey and prepare for'e war"

Oak picks up Torry and smiles. "Let's go then" He places Torry on his shoulder, and heads off towards the Abbey.

Torry giggles and smiles happily, holding onto Oak closely.

Miller walks off. "Oi'll take 'ee abbot and Flicky wid me and leave Oaky boy to 'is own devices, 'ee's looks a gurt moighty foighter te me"

They all make it safty to the abbey and it ends here .
