Zurrgg Arrives And Racks Up A Repair Bill!!!

This ICLY happens in the tavern the morning of DEC 1,2015. Zurrgg arrives to say hi to his "old pal" Marek and a fight causes damages to the tavern, a near death experience and a peeved off chieftain! Enjoy=

The day was cloudy and a little cold, frost was on the bits of grass here and there and some ice in a couple places. But was there snow yet? No, not yet but maybe as cold as it felt the clouds should be snow and not some icy rain. This is what was being put up with in the village this morning. That and the presence of a wildcat, while not of place in a vermin village…this wildcat was different and his name was Zurrgg.

Marek was working in the tavern making hot blueberry scones, making sure ale and hot soup was being served, and checking in beasts to make sure what they needed was handled in a fair amount of time.

Jase sat at a table by the wall and sipped his cordial. In front of him was a half-eaten bowl of oatmeal with fruit and nuts, he was looking over a supply list quietly. So far he has had to deal with a guard with a broken tail and a couple ferrets whom fell on the ice and hurt their paws and now he was on a much needed break.

Zurrgg pushes open the tavern door and enters as he glances around his eyes focus on Marek and he smirks, “The great and powerful Marek is a tavern worker? Is this a joke cause if it is please tell me now so I know to laugh at this.”

Marek spins around at the voice and studies Zurrgg with a long stare. A hint of recognition is seen in his eyes as he drops a tray with three glasses of ale and a couple plates of fish, the glasses and plates are broken as he stands there in some sort of odd trance like state of mind.

Jase jumps slightly in his seat and looks between the wildcat and stoat, “Ummm…there a problem or…cause I really rather not deal with wounds right now or a fight . I have not had the best morning.”

Zurrgg just chuckles as he smiles politely and pulls out a crossbow, one that should be very familiar to the stoat seeing as it is his after all. “You seem to be surprised to see me or maybe you are just..shocked maybe? I was told by a hare named Flare how you seemed to have a bit of memory lost, how sad…”He smiles coldly “For you, now I could end this quickly or end this slowly, of course you get to pick…wait A moment that’s wrong” He smirks as he aims the crossbow, already loaded with a cross bolt, “You don’t”

Marek then narrows his eyes and borrows a blade of a ferret beside him without asking and something in his eyes is different as he shows cold hard hate towards the wildcat, a deep growl issues forth from his throat as he speaks one …single..word…”Zurrgg…”

Jasmine starts to step in from the kitchens the stairs and comes to a halt and frowns deeply when she sees what clearly looks like a fight is about to start.

Zurrgg smiles his cold smile”Marek..ahh you remember me, how nice” He lowers the crossbow and kicks over a table and 4 chairs, disturbing a card game a couple rats were playing, as well as breaking the table and chairs. He snaps his fingers and a weasel comes up beside him with a cutlass, when a rat tries to protest he punches him and slams the rat into another table breaking it as well, but least the chairs of this table are still in tack.

Jase speaks, “Alright, alright no need to fight or cause trouble I am sure sir Scioto would dislike that” He stands and pushes his chair back under the table, “As a leader…well Master Healer here, that’s a leader right?” He shakes his head “I demand you stop before I call the guards”

Marek quickly makes the distance between him and the wildcat short and brings up the blade he borrowed and slices at the wildcat’s throat!

Zurrgg uses his claws of his free paw and as he steps aside he claws at Marek’s back, he narrows his eyes at the healer cat and fire’s his cross bolt at him and says in a cold, yet calm voice,” I am sure your be missed, sorry for your death but I can’t have a healer around now can I?”

Jase eyes widen as the bolt comes at him and he barely moves enough to avoid serious harm. The cross bolt slips in-between his side and his arm that’s resting at his side and catches a bit of his cloak and tunic sleeve and pins it to the wall, the bolt leaves a line of messed up fur and a faint red line where it brushed against the skin on his side, it’s also just under his armpit but luckily , by some sure miracle, it doesn’t even break the skin. From a distance it looks as if the cross bolt entered into him though and pinned him to the wall, he further makes this seem so when he faints from his near death experience and thanks to the bit of cloth and the cross bolt under his arm pit area, so it would hold him up you see, it appears as if he has meet his end, but a closer look shows he is clearly one very lucky beast.

Jasmine quickly takes the chance to get the guards, ”Help..Guards!”

Marek gets a line of 3 claw lines down his shoulder blade and to the middle of his back, he slices at the wildcat again aiming to slice off his head.

Zurrgg moves, but a line of blood does form on his left cheek and he growls as his ears flatten and he goes to kick Marek hard in the gut, as he does this he places the cross bolt on his back and draws forth one of two new twin blades he has and looks to the ferret “Help me you fool!”

The weasel nods “Yes boss!” He quickly gets a throwing knife and flicks it at the marten and charges forwards with the cutlass slicing at Marek’s right arm.

Marek growls as the dagger sinks into leg, and getting kicked into the counter where a line of mugs are doesn’t help, 7 out of 10 mugs are broken and bits of glass go into Marek’s arm in a couple places. He also dislocates his left shoulder as he grunts in pain. He uses his good arm to make a quick slice at the oncoming ferret, “Die!”

Jasmine returns with a couple guards. Both foxes, and as she stays off to the side they go to help fight the wildcat.

The ferret has no time to back off as he stiffens a second or two and then falls backwards, his head now separated from his body. Yep he dead…

Zurrgg chuckles insanely and makes a couple quick slices at Marek’s chest and arms “You will pay! You will die Marek!” His ears catch the movements of the two foxes and he waits and sends a punch toward one’s jawline, the other gets a good cut on the wildcat’s arm causing him to back away from Marek. His ears flat against his head.

Scioto comes in, sword draw and his own ears flat on his head as he hisses at the wildcat, he then rushes at the wildcat and aims his sword at the wildcat’s chest.

Marek blocks one slice and another gets across his chest, the only thing that makes in a lot less deadly is the thick bark leather padding he has under his tunic, but it’s still cut through some and blood leaks from the wound. A deep cut forms on his lower arm.

Jase groans slightly as he starts to come too, but with the screaming and fighting and the fact some left the tavern during the fight, he goes unnoticed for now.

Jasmine watches from her place under a table as one fox is knocked out the other gets a lucky cut on the wildcats paw.

Zurrgg snorts and backs up and then jumps over the heads of about 4 guards as they come in and grins as he lands in front of Scioto, “I am Zurrgg..and this is” Right in his face” Far from over.” His voice has a deadly calm to it as he watches the chieftain.

The fox not knocked out quickly checks on Marek, while the other one remains knocked out and for now useless to the world.

Marek is slowly losing consciousness as he looks at the fox and towards where Zurrgg is. He is hurt fairly bad.

Scioto narrows his eyes and angles his blade “You want to leave this tavern your have to slay me first.” He has a serious tone to his voice.

Zurrgg stays calm, an eerie calm “As much fun as that would be…” He then quickly with skilled speed uses his finger tips to punch the chieftain in 3-4 places, this will temporarily cause his muscles to lock up long enough for escape. He will then knock out a guard and grin and he goes to make an escape out the door and if anyone gets in the way he will slay them.

Scioto is stunned as he falls sideways . Two guards right away go to check on Scioto, as the chieftain gets out “I..am..fine, get that wildcat.” The guards nod and give chase, an unlucky guard at the doorway screams as a blade slices across his chest and he dies as he falls to the floor and the wildcat will be able to easily escape, but not without a couple guards tracking down at least a direction he went before heading quickly back to their chieftain.

Zurrgg smirks and quickly disappears into the night, he knows they have more important matters to worry about than chasing him right now.

Jase opens his eyes and looks around, he looks over at the cross bolt that helps pin him to the wall by his tunic and cloak, and gulps.

Jasmine makes her way to the healer and helps him get free of the wall “Oh my goodness, oh my stars!...oh!” She suddenly remembers “Help Marek and..Scioto and..oh dear” She frowns.

Scioto lays on the floor and hisses low, he is not hurt too much just a cut on the arm and the fact he temporarily can’t move, “Get all beasts out of the tavern now….close it, only Blisa or guards are allowed inside.” He gives more order, “Someone..help Marek” The guards nod and get to work quickly “You heard the chieftain every beast out!”

Marek groans and starts to stand and then falls into a chair and him and it go backwards and onto the floor.

Jase takes a deep breath and checks to see if he is indeed alive and even though still shakeie he rushes over to Marek and starts to tend to his wounds and frowns, “My bag…bandages, something to make a stretcher out of..careful now he is badly hurt. No..I can tend to him.” He points to a rat “Get the glass from his arm, and you…” To another rat, “Get a couple strong beasts to reset that shoulder, get moving and someone check on the chieftain!” A random beast cheeks on the chieftain while others help the master healer.

Scioto is helped to a bench and frowns as he gets a report of damages, who is hurt and who is not and sighs.

Marek looks up at Jase and just before he loses consciousness he manages to get out…”Tell…Mr. Scioto…Wildcat named..Zurrgg…dangerous.” And he slips into unconsciousness.

Jasmine frowns as she does her best to help the healer, “Will Marek live?”

Scioto looks over at where Marek is being tended to and listens as a guard gives a report and nods as he dismisses him, his eats flatten as he seriously needs a day or two off, maybe more after this…heck a week sounds good.

Jase answers only after sewing is done, some wounds are tended to and healing herbs and bandages are on, “I believe so, but he will be in the infirm a while. I hope that wildcat doesn’t come back anytime soon.” He is still shaken up from knowing if he had not moved, even if it was a mere few inches, he be dead right now, he gulps again and tries to block the idea from his mind, he is surely lucky to be alive and he well knows it.

Marek meanwhile will need to recover from this. And did he say..Mr. Scioto? Is Marek’s memory back? How does he know Zurrgg and will Zurrgg come back? Answers to come….next time!
