Overlord's Orders VIII

[Romsca]

OOC: Sorry! I haven't been able to get on since Monday

I'll post here as soon as I've got it written!

*starts writing*

BIC:

Just a few miles south of Salamandastron, the ferret Overlady was pacing about her fortress, inspecting it for any further signs of damage. "Curse those badgers!" she muttered under her breath. "They had better not attack us again!" Then she had an idea. She summoned a rat.

"Yes, milady?" he asked. He did not dare look her in the eye.

"I want you to go to the village and find ten servants to carry out my task. Go!" The rat followed her directions immediately.

-- The next day --

The ferret addressed the ten servants whom the rat had found.

"Peasants, I hope you can carry out the task I have in mind for you. I was recently attacked by badgers, and I believe they think their treasure is lucky. If we can steal it, they will probably not have enough morale and courage to attack us. I can't be certain, but it's worth a try. Go, and take the legendary armor of Boar the Fighter. Go. You are dismissed." With that, everyone left.

-- One week later --

"What's this?!" the ferret Overlady screamed in anger. "One helmet, from the wrong suit of armor, and some boring old jewels? This is just going to make them mad! And what took you so long? Salamandastron's just a few miles from here! Speak up and explain yourselves!"

[Tam and Martin]

OOC: Nice setting Romsca!

BIC: Milady, it was all Redwaller's fault. We snuck into the cavern by a secret tunnel that led us into a cave. We got out of the cave and snuck past hares along the way. it took us awhile to find a spot that looked like it heald the armor. There was a big stone that held the passage shut so we decide to pry it open. We got inside it eventually and warned everyone that there might be an alarm. It was then that we saw the suit of armor. Redwaller ran forth first but he set off an alarmthat caused a bunch of hares to rush upwards we hid from them but they stood there for awhile searching around. Suddenly, HiaG yells aloud for no reason and we had to run away from the hares.

[psybox]

Psybox disagreed with tam's use of the word "all" and told Romsca why. "On the other hand Tam is responsible for our failure, because he was the only one of us capable of getting something and back into hiding, but he thought that set of armor would have looked better on you, and it was too heavy to carry anything but the helmet."

[Tam and Martin]

I took the set of armor for myself to protect me and I went back for the other when the hares stopped for a moment and I hid. The went right past me so I crept back and got the suit of armor. It was too heavy for me to carry all by myself so I went back and asked psybox to help me but he said "No". So I had to go back and I was only able to bring back the breastplate for the rest was too heavy and when I came back psybox stole it from me and ran off.

[psybox]

"I stole it and ran off because Tam was attempting to throw it out into the sea, never to bee seen again.  When I took it to safety he got all annoyed and took it back so he could return it, and we never noticed until it was too late to turn back.  Tam is clearly not to be trusted."

[Tam and Martin]

Iwas trying to throw it into the sea because The hares were still after us and I knew, with the current, it would float down to the Overlady's camp by the sea. I took it back because I was the only sensible one who would bring it back to you. If there is anyone not to be truted it is psybox.

[Kitsune]

My lady, I would have completed your mission if it weren't for the two blundering fools that have been arguing for the past few minutes. I started later than the rest of your servants, because I had misplaced my dirk and was looking for it, but I got to the secret room in less time than they with my stealth skills. But they had already taken the helmet and the breastplate, which bore Boar's crest, so I could not identify whom the rest of the pieces belonged to. So I went to the treasury to plunder some jewels, seeing that I wouldn't be able to talk sense into psybox or Tam, who were busy with their armor argument. Since I had not brought my bag, I put the jewels in a spare helmet. I walked back into the hall and hid the helmet, and went up to psybox and Tam, who looked like they were calming down. And I said, "That is Boar's missing armor, I assume?" They both looked surprised, since I had sneaked up on them. "The Overlady will not be satisfied if you lose that, you know." I said, and then I hid with my helmet out of sight, so that I could watch them and see what they would do. Unfortunately, my words had little effect because they went back to arguing, and then were surrounded by hares and escorted somewhere.

Ah only zcreamed becauze ah 'eard from an' 'are guard zat ze Badgerlord o' Salamandaztron vaz returnin' 'ome early from tea vith ze ovlz up norz.

[psybox]

OOC: Okay, I'm confused.  I said that Tam took the wrong armor because he thought the armor he got looked better, then he said he took it to protect himself, and now plugg firetail claims she^[?] was the one who took the wrong armor, and that we took the right armor.

BIC: "Hey!  I was the one arguing against giving the armor back to salamandastron or throwing it in the ocean, and it's not my fault I didn't win the argument!"

[Tam and Martin]

OOC: I don't get some of it either. I have the real breastplate with me right now in my hands and I have another helmet (Not Boar's) On me.

BIC: I didn't give it back to Salamandastron, I handed it to rachel25! She ran off with it!

[psybox]

"... and told her to give it back to salamandastron.  Rachel25, of course, didn't, but only because she was too busy seeing how many times you can drop it from the top of salamandastron to the ground before it was an unrecognizable mess."

[Tam and Martin]

I told her to give it to Salamandastron but that was fake to make YOU, to think she was taking it there. I did tell her to do that but I whispered secretly to her that I didn't want you to get it so she ran off. I'm not sure why she still didn't when I told her not to.

[psybox]

"She's a fast runner.  By the time i got to the base, she was already dropping it for the first of twenty times.  It got really close to killing me every time she dropped it.  So, Tam, did you also told her to kill me?"

[Rainshadow]

  Meanwhile, Rainshadow was standing in the corner of the room, scratching her tail tip.  When HiaG started talking about her, her mouth dropped open.  "I may have run to the kitchen, but it was only because the badgerlord himself had started chasing me!  He had his huge club in his hand, and he was threatening to beat me to a pulp, so I ran to the kitchen to get away from him.  I managed to talk my way out of the situation... well, mostly.  I ended up hitting him in the head with a metal pot before running back to the main group, but I got stopped by fifty Long Patrol hares, who were all brandishing their weapons.  Needless to say, I tried to run away, but one of them got me."
  Rainshadow pulled up her trouser leg to reveal a large gash just above her footpaw.

[rachel25]

OOC sorry everyone that I haven't posted but I was on a computer ban  
BTW: Rachel25 was busy tying a red scarf around her head to hid a huge cut.
Malady Tam did tell me to kill psybox because he said that psybox was after the amour so he could be in charge of the horde so I ran really fast and started to drop it off the mountain but psybox climbed up and tried to stab me with his sword and fought back with my sabre but he cut my head open *points at half bandaged head* Psybox then jump off the mountain and onto some birds and flew away leaving me to bleed to death so I was laying there when I heard screaming from down stairs. I dragged myself down the stairs only to see Rainshadow throwing a pot at the Badgerlord and then run away so I went into the kitchen and climbed into the oven. With the real helmat. I stole it off Tam when he gave me the breastplate. I heard hares talking in the kitchen so I stayed put and waited for the others to come and find me.
