Zurrgg is doomed! Why? Because he harmed Blisa's father, of course. (A Ferravale log)

From Redwall MUCK Wiki
FV:Town Hall:Holding Cell
This is a simple strongly made cell for holding a captive. There is a good size bed and enough room to walk back and forth in if one wants to pace a tiny bit. No windows and only one way out and that leads to the chieftain office.
Exits: [Out]

They also moved into the Chieftain's Office.

Cats: Scioto, male. Blisa, female.

Ferrets: Ferdinand, male.

Foxes: Valerie, female.

Scioto has been here the past few hours, since maybe middle of the afternoon, dinner he didn't show up to, why?...'Cause he is locked in here and by now peeved! He couldn't move very well for 2-3 hours and his legs still hurt a little now as he paces back and forth. He growls once and kicks some lone rock that got in here.

"Daddy?" Blisa has gotten very worried. Her father missed dinner, and he is NEVER late for dinner. So she has dragged Valerie and Ferdinand along with her to try and find him! They enter the Town Hall, then an anguished cry can be heard as Blisa spots the guard. As Valerie does her healer thing and checks on him, the young cat runs into her fathers office and calls out again. "Dad?" Ferdinand follows close behind, sabre drawn.

Scioto paces still and stops, one ear twitches as he hears voices. His office seems fine except for the over turned chair and if one looks the cell keys in a far corner of the office. His tail puffs out and he is not sure if Blisa is with friend or foe "Blisa!" He hopes she is with at least one of her guards.

Blisa runs over to the door. "Daddy!!" She rights the chair, drags it over to the cell door, and stands on it so she can see in better. "Dad! What on Earth happened????" Ferdinand searches around for the key, finds it, and goes to try and unlock the door with it.

Scioto steps back from the door, "I...will explain once I am out of this cell. Has anything else happen I need to know of as I have no clue how long I was in here"

Blisa hops off the chair and lets Ferdinand open the door and move the chair out of the way. The young cat shakes her head. "No, I haven't heard of anything happening. You being missing was the only bad thing that I knew of. Why, Dad? What's wrong??" The female feline is nervous now. Her anxiousness is obvious in her voice. Valerie comes in and says, "Did you get hurt?"

Scioto seems glad the door to the cell is open now, "Just a little...stiff. There is a wildcat someone on the loose and he seemed interested in where Marek was at. I told him to leave and he did something that prevented me from moving for a couple hours and dragged me into here and he could be anywhere now"

Blisa narrows her eyes. "Did he give his name? What does he look like? Perhaps we should move Marek into our house so that if the wildcat breaks in, Basil can stop him." Because making other people snake food is something she excels at. Valerie goes to check the Chieftain's pulse, just in case. Ferdinand picks up his sabre from where he had left it on the desk and sheaths it. "Did he thay why he ith interethted in Marek?"

Scioto lets the healer check on him, his pulse is a little high but ok. "No they did not just asked where he was and that he would just go find information elsewhere."

Blisa crosses her arms. "What did he look like? Trust me, he's going to regret messing with my father when I catch him!" She looks dead serious. Hope Basilisk is hungry..... Ferdinand shakes his head and sits on the desk. "Marek jutht theemth to have enemieth everywhere..."

Scioto sighs and disscribes the wildcat Zurrgg, "I think he is the one that hurt Jase as well and set the fire to Bandit and Zee's homes....."He frowns at a thought.

OOC: Zurrgg's desc:

He is a tall, fierce looking wildcat. His fur is long and dense and mostly a light greyish in color, becoming richer along the back, and fading onto the legs and arms. A black, narrow l band starts on the shoulders, along the back. Indistinct black smudges are present along striping pattern. Spots of light grey on his neck and forehead. Another such stripe occurs under his yellowish green eyes. His choice of color is red from the vest he wears over a brown tunic and pants. His cape over his shoulders is red, and an old grey sleeveless cloak covers him for cold weather. He keeps tall black boots on, the daggers inside the tops. He also has a crossbow, and a pair of long thin silver daggers.

Blisa smiles grimly. "I now know to who to feed to Basil....wait, he hurt Jase, too? And caused the fires?" Valerie raises her finger. "He sounds dangerous. I think we should pass the word along to all the residents and let them know that we have a dangerous beast on the loose here in the area." "I agree," Ferdinand says, crossing his arms. "We might want to alert Redwall, ath well."

Scioto nods "He is the one who caused the fire few weeks ago, I also hae a feeling he is after that badger as well, could be wise to warn him maybe"

Ferdinand nods. "I can thend one of the bodyguardth to warn them, if you'd like." "Yeah, Cerah would be totally willing to," Blisa pipes up helpfully. "She can defend herself very easily, and then you wouldn't have to send a regular guard and they could work on trying to find this wildcat. Also, she doesn't wear the white armband marking her as one of my bodyguards, so she can go more places undetected."

Scioto nods and walks a little before sitting on the chair in his office and shakes his head "Leg still hurts a little, that wildcat didn't seem too interested in me at the time he just wanted me out of the way. I have no clue what he wants with Marek, something about a message and it didn't seem like a friendly one either"

Blisa purses her lips. "We need to find him before he can deliver this......message. Hopefully it won't be a deadly one....." Ferdinand whispers something to Valerie, who nods and runs off. The ferret settles back down on the desk. "Pity we don't know more about him.....are you thure he didn't thay anything to give uth a clue of who he ith?" He asks this politely, yet urgently.

Scioto tries to remember "I...saw him before, I know I have cause he seemed so familiar but a name escapes me. Prehaps Jase would know or we could ask Marek who it is "

"Zurrgg!!" Blisa suddenly says, snapping her fingers. "I....I just remebered. I think...I think his name is Zurrgg." Ferdinand scowls. "That name thoundth familiar. He ith very dangerouth, I believe. Wath he connected to Irenevok?" The young cat shrugs. "I have no idea."

Scioto growls "Marek has mentioned him and I do not think he is connected with that mouse, he seems one to hate woodlanders. Marek mentioned him, he is from the Northlands somewhere"

Blisa bites her lip. "What do you think we should do, Daddy?" she asks, suddenly looking about her actual age of barely an adult. She has no idea what to do. Ferdinand looks at the Chieftain. "I will increathe the guardth around Mith Blitha when the leaveth the houthe. Fortunately, now that the weather ith warming up, the thnake will be able to accompany her around more outthide."

Scioto nods "Extra guards would be good as I have no clue what this Zurrgg is up to or if he works alone or not. I don't think he works alone, he also has Marek's crossbow and has for a while I think"

"Great," Ferdinand mutters. Blisa suddenly rushes forward and goes to hug her father as tightly as she can. "You were late for dinner...." she chokes out as tears trickle down her cheeks. She was obviously really worried. The setting sun shines through a window, revealing just how late it really is.

Scioto hugs his daughter "I am safe, not to worry. I am sorry for the worry but I no way of telling anyone I guess no one outside heard me when I yelled a couple times." He adds "I love you Blisa and I am glad the wildcat didn't go try and harm you"
