Dannflower Reguba

       Dann stood in silence for a moment, his ears had perked up in response to a noise far behind them on the path. After a moment of deliberation, he had a pretty solid grasp of their location... he hoped, "Unfortunately no, but I hear water behind us. If my intuition is correct, it's probably the River Moss. If that's the case, we want to go South, and it shouldn't be more than a couple of hours before we arrive at a walking pace." Dann gently swung down from the branch and dropped the last couple of feet onto the packed dirt with a slight puff, "Best I can figure anyway, River Moss was the only river that gets mentioned over and over again that I recall. If we got brought into the Redwall world, it would make the most sense."

  "If you can hear the river, that means we probably aren't far from the fjord." Skarzs nodded. "So south would make the most sense, you're right."

OOC: Shall we speed things up a bit to where they're closer to Redwall?

The Skarzs

  Skarzs rubbed his stomach as it growled. He wasn't sure if his new body had had any of the food he had eaten from before he woke up there, but he was hungry. He looked up from the path before him, scanning the treetops for any sign of the bell tower. Like the past while, there was still nothing to see.
  "How are you guys holding up?" he asked his friends, but he suddenly stopped. Was that a scream? "Did you hear that?" Skarzs didn't wait for a reply, hurrying ahead to see around the bend in the road.
  There, on the path, four creatures, that looked to be two ferrets, a weasel, and a rat, had a mouse pinned down in the dirt. The weasel and one of the ferrets held him down under their feet with a spear held to his neck, while the other ferret dug through the pack they had stolen from the mouse.
  "Help! Someone!" cried the helpless mouse.
  "Shattap!" growled the weasel, digging his foot into his back. "You make another noise and we'll get yet!" He looked up to see Skarzs approaching, and pointed. "Oi! Look! It's a cat!"
  "A cat?" asked the ferret with the pack, apparently the leader. He too spotted the cougar, and Drew his rusty dagger. "Ah, he's alone. We can take h-" He trailed off as he realized how big Skarzs seemed to be getting.
  "Get away!" Skarzs stopped and pried up a sizable rock from the path, hurling it at the vermin. It flew into the dirt at their feet, sending dirt and gravel everywhere. He didn't want to pick a fight with any weapons, even if he was so much bigger. "The next one hits one of you!" He bent down to get another rock.
  The ferret saw Cornflower, Dan, and Jukka coming along as well, and he started backing off, then turned tail and ran. The rest, seeing their leader flee, stepped away from the mouse, and tore off after him into the forest.

Jukka the Sling

They'd been walking for quite a while, and Jukka had a stitch in her side and was getting hungry.  On the plus side, she was getting more used to her body and new sense of balance.

"How are you guys holding up?" Skarzs asked suddenly.  Jukka was just about to respond when a noise off in the distance interrupted her.  Skarzs took off running.

Jukka made it around the bend just in time to see four creatures running off into the woods.  Away from Skarzs, she guessed.  She stopped and stared for a second, processing the situation, and then saw another creature lying on the ground.  A... mouse, probably.  She hurried over to the creature.  "Are... you okay?"

He was the first Mossflower inhabitant she'd ever spoken to, and she crazily wondered for a second as to whether this mouse and the other vermin were even truly alive or some sort of NPCs.  What if this was actually a hyper-realistic simulation?

  "Get away from me!" the mouse screamed, seeing one very large cat and a ferret approach him. He saw the two squirrels coming. "Stop! Run away!"
  "What's the matter, you're safe now!" Skarzs could hardly believe how the mouse was reacting to being saved. "Look, they're gone. I scared them off!"
  The mouse wasn't listening, however, and was trying to get up and run. His leg, however, had a nasty gash in it, and he was bleeding. Skarzs hadn't seen the injury until the mouse collapsed on the ground and held it. "Corn! Dan! Give us a hand!" he called.

Cornflower MM

Corn had fallen a bit behind, enjoying the air and scenery. It had been way too long since she'd been able to have a nice long through the woods, and she was determined to make the most of it. Then she heard the commotion from up the road and started running, still tripping over her feet as she went. She reached her traveling companions and the mouse, quickly coming to a few realizations. "You're scaring him! Move over, give him some space," She said as she crouched down by the mouse.
"Hi, I'm Corn. It's okay, these two are with me, they won't hurt you. Do you mind if I take a look at your leg, sir?"

The Skarzs

  Skarzs stepped back. He hadn't thought that he might be intimidating. Of course, in Redwall, he and Jukka might be considered "badbeasts."
  The mouse held his bleeding leg, gaping at Skarzs. "P-please don't eat me," he whimpered.
  "I'm not gonna eat you!" the cougar said. "Now let her help you!"
  This seemed to bring his concentration back, and he looked at Corn. "They got me with the spear. I think I have some bandage in my pack. . ." He looked around at the contents spilled everywhere. "Somewhere."
  Skarzs picked up a roll of linen and handed it to Corn. "Here."

Jukka the Sling

Jukka took a few steps back once the mouse yelled at her and Skarzs.  What was wrong with him?  He should be happy at being rescued -- oh, right.  Of course.  She'd thought of it before during their walk, but honestly, her mind was all over the place and it was easy to forget that her and Skarzs's appearances wouldn't exactly endear them to woodlanders they encountered.

She wondered what their reception would be like once they finally reached Redwall.

Dannflower Reguba

       The fun and games were over rather abruptly with the cacophony just down the path. Dann saw the majority of what happened, but couldn't confidently decide what to do about it. After a moment however, the obvious question hit him between the eyes, one he promptly repeated out loud, "Pardon the interruption, but would you mind telling us where we are exactly?"

  ". . . In Mossflower, not far from Redwall, I hope." The mouse looked at Dan curiously. "Why? Are you travellers as well?"
  Skarzs figured the others would be able to take care of the mouse by themselves. "I'm gonna look ahead." He walked up the path quickly, hoping to see Redwall.

Cornflower MM

#86
Corn paused for a moment in her assessment of the injury, "Uh, yeah, travelers. We're travelers. I'm afraid we got a little lost, so it's nice to know we're on the right track." The cut didn't appear to be too deep or long, as nasty as it looked, but it wasn't a mere scratch either. "I'm no expert healer by any means, but I do know a little bit. I think you'll be fine once we get you to Redwall." She commented, taking the bandage and starting to wrap the injury. After a moment she tied it off, "Not too tight, is it?" She inquired, looking over her handiwork.

The Skarzs

  The mouse gritted his teeth but smiled. "It can't hurt much worse, can it? A bit of tea and some food and I'll be right as rain!"
  Up ahead, Skarzs let out a cheerful cry. "Hey! I can see the bell tower!" He hurried back to the others. "Come on, it won't take long. Do you need me to carry you?" he asked the mouse.
  The other tried to stand up, but fell when he tried to put weight on the leg. He looked at Skarzs, still a bit fearful, then to Corn and Dan. "Maybe just a shoulder to lean on?"

Cornflower MM

On instinct, Corn lunged to grab the mouse to steady him when he fell, but was too slow, and she was left hovering over him awkwardly. "Absolutely, anything you need. I warn you, though, I'm extremely clumsy," She said, extending a paw to help him up.

The Skarzs

  "Thank you, friend." He took Corn's paw gratefully and got to his feet.
  "What's your name?" asked Skarzs.
  ". . . I'm Andrew. Who are you all?"
  "I'm Skarzs," the cougar said. Then he pointed out the others. "That's Cornflower, Danflorreguba, and that's Jukka the S- That's Jukka."
