Overlord's Orders VII

[Romsca]

"The reason I ate the honey was because Redwaller held a gun to side of my head and told me to eat it. Also, PluggFiretail hadn't scoffed up all the food yet."

[Mattio]

I told him to tell you to have a taste to make sure it wasn't poisoned.We wouldn't want to poison milord. And I wouldn't part with the snakeskin because I know you like snakeskin belts so I found a skin long enough to make 10 belts

[Kitsune]

Redwaller held a gun to MY head as well and told me to eat all the food after Romsca ate the honey!!

[Mattio]

I told him to tell you to try a BITE to make sure it wasn't poisoned. Both of you ate the whole thing

[Kitsune]

WELL, WHAT DO YOU DO IF SOMEONE THREATENS YOU, HUH? YOU DO WHAT THEY SAY OR YOUR BRAIN GETS BUSTED OUT!!! HE TOLD ME TO EAT IT ALL!!! NOT JUST A BITE!!!!
...ehem. Apologies, my lord. Mattio is just getting on my nerves.

[Mattio]

Redwaller disobeyed me by telling them to eat it all.

[psybox]

"sir, the food in question was called purple striped pink dotted orange cakes, which, as i am sure you know, sir, simulates having eaten a full mean after one bite, which is all they got, so it's technically the same thing.  I tried to ask Mattio to get more , but he told me that one bite was easier to sabotage (his orders to redwaller was to tell them exactly to eat one bite, so technically rewording it was disobeying his orders), the honey was similarly magic, and with a similar situation."

[Kitsune]

OOC: Yay! Now Mathias720 is going to choose who will lose first!

[Romsca]

OOC: He said 10 am EST....whatever time zone that is...

[Kitsune]

OOC: Ummmm.... *looks around for Mathias720*

[Matthias720]

OOC: Sorry guys, but I had a crazy weekend. >_< I'm here now.

"ENOUGH," the Overlord bellowed, "I have heard more than I wanted to!. You are all incapable flunkies. I have no idea how you managed to lead your own bands before you came here. You doubt you lot could even think unless you had a mate to share their brains with you."

Pacing back and forth, the Overlord glared from one to the next until his eyes finally rested on Redwaller. With keen precision, the Overlord drew his sword, swinging it in a dazzling series of arcs. SNIP. SNIP. SNIP. One by one, pieces of Redwaller's one fine uniform fell to the ground. Glaring bitterly at the unfortunate vermin, he spoke.

"You ordered your comrades to eat the food? You. ORDERED. Your comrades. To EAT. The FOOD?! I don't care what kind of 'spell' you were under, or who told you to do it. If anyone is to be a member of my crew, they must be blindly obedient to me and none other. There is no place in my inner circle for those who obey orders that are not my own. You are hereby demoted. Report to the lowest of my foot soldiers, the old and blind rat Gurt, for you are now his personal servant. And if you follow his orders like a proper servant is supposed to, you may one day be elevated to the rank of 'not-worthy-to-be-in-my-army-so-get-out'. Now go! If you are here when I turn back, I will certainly be less generous then I have been. Consider yourself lucky."

Turning his back, the Overlord counted backwards from ten. Upon reaching one, he turned back to face the remaining members of his inner circle. "You are to return to your tents now, for in the morning you are to go on a new assignment. Two days march to the south, in a large ring of low mountains, I have placed a war banner with my emblem on it. Your task is to retrieve this banner and return it unto me. This is a training exercise that should make you work together as a team. I need minions who can work together, not careless fools who are only seeking glory. I will await your return. Now go."

"In what way do the words 'two days march south' elude you lot? Two days down, maybe a day there, and two days back is all it should have taken. But not you luckless excuse for half-wits. What is your excuse this time? Was it an adder? Or maybe a giant earthshake? Or maybe you were attacked by baby mice with rattles? What happened to make you over seven days late?"

Spitting out the words contemptuously, the Overlord's gaze upon a sack on the ground. Ripping it open, several scraps of cloth fell to the floor. "Oh, and what have we here? The banner torn into nine pieces. Let's add this to your list of things you messed up. GO ON! SPEAK UP! Somebeast explain this to me, now!"

OOC: Interesting first round, guys, but remember that this is a Redwall themed round. Guns and aliens don't really belong in Mossflower Woods. Try to keep that in mind for the next round. Thanks.

"there was an inn, sir, Romsca claimed that it would be a nice place to stay for the night, and also mentioned that she used to work there and we would get a 'hordemate of ex-employee' discount, she conveniently forgot to mention all the food there was actually poisoned, and left all of us (except Romsca) in no fit state to travel, and she wouldn't continue the journey alone, i suspect she had it all planned out beforehand." psybox theorized.

[Taggerung_of_Redwall]

"Ah, yes, that inn o' Romsca's suggestion. We 'ad a nice fun time procurin' free usage o' the kitchens. At first, we wanted t'make a broth with fresh vegetables, but Daniel an' Leatho chopped 'em into rubbish an' burned 'em up. We 'ad t'settle for food already prepared an' inna cupboard. Lemme tell ya the food was fishy from the start, and I only ate a bit o' bread. We only stayed there a night, an' moved on southwards, or woulda, had not the same vegetable-ruiners been the guides too. They both got us lost, until nine days later, after many unpleasant times, we got to the flag, only to have Daniel an' Leatho fight o'er it as a blanket, an' rip it all up. I marched every hordebeast back 'ere after that."

[Romsca]

"The only reason I didn't eat the food at the inn was I wasn't well at that time. I wasn't well because Mattio had poisoned me earlier that afternoon. And I saw Daniel poisoning the food at the inn, including himself, knowing that since I wasn't going to eat the food, it would look like I had done it."

[Kitsune]

I got sick some how, my lord.... somebeast must have poisoned the food. As for the flag, I tried to stop Daniel and Leatho, but they were like, "I want my blanky!" And wouldn't let go.
