Mossflower Odyssey 3: The Lost Treasure of Captain Blade

[Airan]

The sands are stained with blood and the water runs red. Piracy is officially dead, slain along with the legendary King of all Pirates: Captain Blade by the paws of the Badgerlord Atlas Stormstripe, and the Rogue Crew. The seas are finally calm, and, for once, progress has begun to push through Mossflower Country and the surrounding lands as trade has finally become possible. No longer do beasts pay with kindness but instead with coins, and villages and ports have begun to spring up all along the coasts, as if overnight, in the ever-expanding search for adventure, wealth, and opportunity.

But there are whispers in the wind, rumors that on an uncharted island across the sea, Captain Blade left behind a treasure the likes of which nobeast has ever seen, one that could make a beast richer than even in their wildest dreams. But the island is not uninhabited, and even the toughest of sailors have either not returned or have come home empty-pawed; their eyes filled with fear as they recite tales of bloodthirsty savages, giant serpents, and a mysterious spectral ship that appears from the mist on the darkest of nights.

But that is not enough to scare away everybeast, and ten brave beasts shall soon face the true dangers the island has to offer in their quest for riches. Who will live? Who will die? But most importantly, who will be the first to claim the Lost Treasure of Captain Blade?

What is a Redwall Survivor Contest?

A Redwall Survivor Contest is basically a collaborative story set in the Redwall universe in which ten different writers will each write a character of their own creation, all interacting with one another and pushing the plot forward until its inevitable ending. But this is a contest, so there is some competition to it. Every week, after the contestants have all finished putting up their respective posts and chapters, the audience will then vote for their LEAST favorite character of the group, and whichever character receives the most votes, they must then off themselves from the story, whether it be through the traditional method of killing themselves off or some other method if that's not currently realistic with what's happening in the story.

This keeps going every week until we reach a Top 3. Then, after a final week, the audience will vote one last time, but this time for who their MOST favorite character is and who they believe should win the contest. Then the top 3 will finish the story together and congratulate themselves on a job well done.
