RP: Peace to Protection

[Trigoma]

as they waited skipper and trigoma took the bearings as they looked at the secean. vermin were camped all along the western flatlands. but hey both noticed they were edging there way into surrounding the abbey. then an answer came from the door.

OOC: hey wered everyone one go? i understand there r some ppl on vacation or a camp or sumthing but if i see no activity from some ppl who r here im gonna start kicking them from the story and replaceing them. show some activeness!

[Tiria Wildlough]

Bluestrype tapped her paw impatiently. 'When can we get in?' she said. 'I don't feel easy with all those vermin.'

[Alessandro Reinares]

Crantor continued the attack,"Greacetail, prepare the ropes, you three up!" Rantainian on the other hand was battering the gates of the south wall, "C'mon mates charge!" Twelve of the hoard in the decoy battled their way through the forest an yelled,"ATTACK, CRANTOR, CRANTOR, CRANTOR THE BLOODY, ATTACK!"

OOC: Alright Triggy, batter 'em up!

[DanielofRedwall]

The gate opened to reveal the Abbess. "Webb, you're back, and you found our friends!" She said.
"Actually, it wasn't all me, in fact, it wasn't much of me at all! But it's a long story, and we're all hungry!" Webb replied.
"Of course, come in and we'll get food for you all, then you and some of the others can tell me what happened," the Abbess replied.

Back in the abbey the good creatures of Redwall were eating their tea. Webbtail, Trigoma, Bluestrype and Diamond sat on one table, reciting what happened to the Abbess as they ate.

[Tiria Wildlough]

'I snuck out of the Abbey to find Diamond, and I found Trigoma being attacked by vermin, so I helped him.' said Bluestrype. She wilted under the Abbess's stern gaze.
'Bluestrype, I thought you were wounded.'
'I'm not some Dibbun. I'm a full-grown badger, and I thought Diamond might need help.'

[Redwall Musician]

"Why is it that you always think I need help?" Diamond said suddenly. "Is it because I am young? Do you not trust me?" She sighed sadly.
"We are just worried about everyone right now," the abbess said, "Please continue with your report."
And they told the abbess everything they could remember.
"Skipper! Skipper!" yelled a mouse. The mouse was a guard on the wall tops. "We can hear yells out in the woods! The abbey is under attack!"

[Alessandro Reinares]

Rantainian cried at the charging hoard, "Give it to 'em mates! Ready. Aim Fire! Reload. Fire! Battering ram hit the gates." The vermin shot arrows like angry wasps stinging a dibbin.
Meanwhile, Calcrap and his stoats sent arrows flying toward the battlements. Greacetail arrived and complained, "Calcrap, you back stickin' hoolagan! Le' me take care of us now."
"You'd be chalengin' me authority?"
"What if I'm?
At the insults Calcrap got his spear ready, "If you are, you just found your ticket..."
"Look out!"

Slicecrank wobbled on his peg leg and shouted from one of the walls, "Pirate scum! Give me satisfaction!" Stones flew.
"Harr harr, mateys! They'd be dead hurry!"
But Captain the wall's to high to climb!"

Crantor looked at the ropes and yelled, you five up!"
They prepared and went half way waiting for their chief.
Crantor thought, "The badger she'll be mine! Beware, stripedog, BEWARE!"

OOC: OK. Is Rotgutt and Blackback etc. unconscious or dead?

[DanielofRedwall]

"Otter crew, grab your slings or javelins! Arnold, Diamond, Bluestrype and any other beast who feels they can fight, come with us, we're going to the walls! Grab a sling from me and head straight for the walls! We're not letting them enter our abbey!" Webbtail yelled above the panic that broke out.

[Redwall Musician]

The abbess watched the defenders going up to the walls. She was worried terribly for all of them. But not letting her worries over take her, she left towards the infirmary.

Stones and arrows shot from both sides. Diamond shot out with her bow. Next to her Arnold fired his bow with great accuracy. All the able bodied beast fired and ducked. As Diamond shot up to fire again, five vermin were climbing up on the battlements. The one at the top of the rope cut deep into Arnold..

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

And was promptly smashed across the head by a well aimed hit from friar Saulyle armed with a frying pan. With a small sigh he fell down off the wall and crashed into the other four, knocking them all down to the ground below.

~~~

Redd gave a small wince of pain as a well shot arrow from the wall found his left shoulder. Sighting the perpetrator as an otter, he snatched the bow and arrow out of the paws of one the horde rats who was having some trouble with shooting it. "Ah'll show ye how to shoot a bow an' arrow.." he snarled, aiming for the otter. "..ye filthy flotsam!" TWANG! He tossed the bow back to the rat as the otter, with a newly acquired arrow sticking out of his stomach, fell back, dead.

Sighting Crantor, he ran up to him. "Chief, any new orders?" he asked. Crantor replied...

[Alessandro Reinares]

"Redd, come here I want you to go find the vixen, Sorela back at camp and bring the streamdog!

OOC: I know Trigoma got back.

BIC: "Oh, Redd, if it's possible kill Rantaintian." As he said this he climbed like a salamanders in a skinny rock.

Calcrap and Greacetail rolled on the ground almost hit by a hail of stones.
"Matey, le' me and you go and teach to 'em something to scream about!"
"I'm with you mate!" So they shouted together, "Rank one, fire! Rank one, reload. Rank two fire! Rank two reload. Rank one fire! Rank one reload. Rank two fire! Rank two reload."

Rantainian shot out orders to his rats, "Make 'em taste the wrath of rats. Climb. Harr harr!" 

OOC: Give 'em blood an' vinegar! Wot wot!

[Trigoma]

OOC: nice to see u back crantor!

BIC: trigoma shot with his bow and killed a rat. but a hail of arrows came back at him. he ducked and heard the commands of the rats. "skipper they got a rythm going. we can never fire under this!"

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

"Aye chief!" Redd said, running towards Rantainian. "Chief wants you an' me to go fetch Sorela and the streamdog." "Can't ye do it yerself?" Rantainian complained. "I'm busy co-OOF!" He clutched his stomach in pain, the breath knocked out of him by a well aimed strike from Redd. "We are to do as our chief orders us to do." Redd growled, adding emphasis to each word that described both of them. With a grumble that was half out of pain and half out of annoyance Rantainian complied.

As they got out of sight of the battle, Redd slowed his pace until Rantainian was walking ahead of him. Silenty drawing his broadsword, and without warning, he drove it through Rantainian's backside. As the life slowly ebbed from Rantainian's eyes, Redd leaned over and whispered some ill-timed advice.

"The secret to betrayal is knowing when to make your move. You have missed your chance for greatness; and now, as you take your last final breaths, you will die with nothing."

As Rantainian gave one last agonizing breath, Redd pulled our his broadsword and the fox's lifeless body fell foward onto the ground. Cleaning his blade on the grass Redd strapped it back to his back and, stepping over the dead body, made his way to the camp.

OOC: You ken, I might actually use that quote for my book...

[Tiria Wildlough]

Bluestrype aimed with a sling at the vermin. Her battleaxe was useless up on the walls, but she also knew how to use a sling, so she was helping to pelt the enemy with stones.

[DanielofRedwall]

"skipper they got a rythm going. we can never fire under this!" Trigoma said as another volley of arrows and stones flew at them.
Ducking just in time, Webbtail replied, "We'll keep the fight up for a little while longer, then retreat back to the abbey. Get in to ranks, all of you!" Webbtail yelled above the commotion.
After the creatures did this, Webb yelled, "First rank, fire! Drop down, reload. Second rank, fire! Drop down, reload."
