Overlord's Orders VII

[psybox]

"You see, I had a replica of the golden raven made out of mushrooms.  Tagg saw me with the mushroom raven and thought i stole it from Leatho, so he took it, then i tried to steal it back, but i guess i took the real one by accident.  The squawking was due to the effects of gold poisoning, i had already nibbled the statue thingy a bit."

[Taggerung_of_Redwall]

OOC: Edited first sentence of my post to reflect Leatho's post. Psybox, if you want to compensate from posting after me.

[Tam and Martin]

My Lord, as soon as I saw Psybox swallow the real thing, I jumped on him and started pounding his back. Eventually he spit the thing out and everyone made a rush to get it.

[Romsca]

OOC: This is starting to get interesting...

1. Leatho Shellhound
2. ToR
3. Tam and/or Martin
4. Psybox
5. Romsca
6. Mattio

[Mattio]

Mattio looked up from his stretcher. "I attacked her because I wanted to make sure that a theif wasn't holdin the statue sire.

[Matthias720]

OOC: Come on guys, you can do more than that! Go more in depth and explain more clearly why you aren't to blame and who the fault really belongs to.

[Romsca]

"I wasn't a thief, Mattio, and I never held the statue. I understand you wanted to make sure there wasn't a thief, but you didn't have to try to murder me like you did."

[Matthias720]

"That is quite enough," said the Overlord, "it is clear to me who the guilty party is. Leatho Shellhound, you took responsibility of the figurine, and fell victim to the antics of your comrades. You have done well, all things considered. Go and receive treatment for your wounds. Taggerung_of_Redwall, you have done equally well. You still failed, but I am convinced of your innocence. You too may go and receive treatment for your injuries. Tam and Martin, you have incurred no blame as well, be off now, before I rethink my generosity."

Turning to face the remaining three stretchers, the Overlord snarled at the three incapacitated captains. "You lot, it would seem, are the cause of my woes. I have no patience for bunglers in my army. And though one of you must go, I wish it were all three of you misbegotten misanthropic meddlers. Before I hand out judgement, give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you all where you stand! Speak!"

OOC: Hey guys. Sorry it has taken so long, but I have had some family stuff come up the past week, and it has devoured my time. I would like Psybox, Romsca, and Mattio to each post before I make a final decision and post tomorrow. Something a little different this time around. And the next round will be spectacular. I think everyone will like it. Cheers!

"If i knew it was the real statue, i would have returned it, i suppose i would have stolen it anyway, but i would have given it back, and even then it would only be practice for if you ever do need a bugler, you know, if you need someone to burgle something for you."

[Romsca]

"How do we know you would have returned it? We tried to keep it from you for a reason. And, Mattio, why did you try to kill me?"

[psybox]

"Looks like Romsca has trust issues!  Well, next thing you know, she'll be saying that the gold statue was actually a fake.  Anyway, when i say i would have returned it, i would have.  Really, I can't tell lies to you, sir."

[Matthias720]

OOC: Still waiting on Mattio to post.

[Romsca]

OOC: Should I PM him?

[Matthias720]

OOC: Go ahead. But if he doesn't post in the next 24 hours, I'm going to have to move the round forward without him.

[Romsca]

OOC: I just did
