Forbidden Truce ~ Chapter One Bloodied Families

[The Skarzs]

Zuzucath peered to his left; there was a guard there, looking out into the forest. Sneaking up quietly, he slit the unsuspecting otter's throat, who let out a small gurgle. Lifting up the dead body, he shoved it over the wall.

Donavin was shocked to see someone on the wall. And the creature attacked the guard on the wall, Donavin jumped up, forgetting about his leg, and then fell over. On the floor he began shouting, "Guards! Intruder! Intruder! Intruder on the wall!"

[The Skarzs]

When Zuzucath heard the shouting, he hissed in displeasure. Cursed otters and their infernal loyalty. He threw his knife at the wall guard that had been alerted by the cries, and stuck him in the leg. Running up to the injured otter, he caught him with a brutal blow to the face, knocking him down in front of the other guards. "Zuzucath here. . . Come to make yourselfs dies?"

OOC: Whoopsy doops! Forgot about Lady Bryony! Shame on me!

BIC: Bryony had been taking a nap when she heard knocking on the gate. She grumbled, and toddled out there. "Who is it?" SDhe called, then sneezed.

OOC: Could someone else play the two squirrels?

[Faiyloe]

Garvina Sat up in bed when she heard the sound of shouts out side her door. She ran to the window and looked out she could see the dark shadow of the trees and the wall against the sky but nothing else. She ran to the door and listened.

[The Skarzs]

The weasel hissed again; they had begun firing arrows at him. Ducking down, he crawled along the wall top, making sure he was not seen. Then he loaded his sling, and sent it flying into their midst as he hopped up.

[rachel25]

OOC: I'll play them!

BIC: "They've captured her! They've captured Lady Garvina!" The hysterical squirrels screeched.
-----------------
Adlais had been wakened by the shouts, and was now out with the entire garrison, looking for the intruder. Adlais saw him, and ran up towards him, but got hit by a slingstone in the head. It was only a glancing blow, but it was enough to knock him out cold.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryony had still been half-asleep when she'd asked who it was, but then she was wide awake. She flung open the dors, and screamed at them , "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THEY'VE GOT GARVINA?!?!?!"

[The Skarzs]

Zuzucath was now laughing maniacally, but was cut short by an arrow that struck him shallowly in the shoulder. Screaming, he backed up, falling backwards off the wall.

[rachel25]

One of the squirrel's was almost crying, "They captured us, at the dam. They took us back to their castle, and they took Garvina away. they let us go, so we could tell you."
---------------
Donavin had got to his feet, and watched helpless from the window. He cheered in triumph as the weasel  fell off the wall.

[Faiyloe]

"What's Going on out there?" Garvina called threw the door.

[rachel25]

There was no one to hear, because the guard had gone outside to help.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryony growled, then marched into the gatehouse, got her mace and axe. She stomped back out, and started to head out the gate, muttering under her breath.

[rachel25]

"Milady! You can't go back on your own! We must get the men together!" The squirrels called after Bryony. 

[Cornflower MM]

"Okay, you waste even more time getting the men together, and I'll go ahead and wait for you to show up." She called back over her shoulder, all the while walking.
