Wildcat Attack! Part Two.

[Delthion]

OOC: I am going to prevent it if that's alright.

Feldion deftly grabbed on to a cat's leg so that when Argunath threw him he would barely go anywhere. "Haha!" Feldion laughed grimly. "You're not getting rid of me that easily! You're still quite valuable you know, probably the one keeping Redwall together during this!" Feldion fought on, whirled his spear over his head once and then slashed through a cat's face. Trying to get out of the position that Argunath had thrown him into.

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: Holy crows guys, I'm so sorry!

BIC: Arya had reacjhed some cats by now and was frantically slahing through them, trying to get to her friend. Dodging a cat's spear, she noticed that Feldion was around Argunath, and she mentally blew a sigh a of relief, letting her guard down for just long enough for a wildcat to slice her leg - Not fatally, thankfully, but it was bad enough to severlly hamper the squirrel. Arya shrieked in rahge and pain and threw herself back into fighting, slashing and hack everything cat she saw until she was near Argunath. "What on Earth do you think you're doing?!" She shrieked at him, slicing at a wildcat that tried to sneak up on her.

Jeboran hissed "What in the name of hellgates does he think he's doing?" He slammed his fist on a crenelation, instantly regretting it "Big cougar with bloodwrath, virtually indestructible. Small cat with no bloodwrath, virtually dead meat." He grabbed a bow and quiver of arrows off another sentry "Blast that idiot's eyes." He began firing into the midst of the cats, aiming for the ones closest to Dave.

[The Skarzs]

Argunath's scarlet gaze turned upon the voice of Arya.

"Squirrel," he roared. "I will not allow you to stay here. LEAVE!" With this final warning, the enraged cougar turned away from Arya and directly toward Grain and Grina. With the lives of their leaders at stake, many of the cats made more effort to try to stop Argunath, but were ultimately crushed beneath the big cat's berserk rampage. Even so, he was taking damage between the gaps in his armor, and the small reasonable voice inside his head told Argunath he wouldn't be able to last much longer.

Ignoring this, Argunath roared out his challenge to the cat leaders as he quickly cut his way toward them. "Much of your horde lays dead before you, foul ones! Now, it is time for you to join them!"

[Jukka the Sling]

Kaylan then saw her friend Arya fighting among the cats. A wave of shock and fright washed over her. What is she DOING?! She'll get herself killed!

The ottermaid grabbed her bow and firmly nocked an arrow to it. She aimed for a cat near Arya and fired, then grabbed another arrow and repeated, her heart pounding with worry.

[Delthion]

Feldion laughed again. "If you're not going to allow us to stay what right do you have to stay?" Feldion grinned as he leveled a cat.

[The Skarzs]

OOC: The hares can be let into Redwall now.

BIC: So completely under the hold of the bloodwrath was Argunath that, even as he broke through the close line formed around Grina and Grain, he could not feel the spear pierce him in the gap in the side of his armor. He leapt at the two wildcats, ready to tear them to pieces.

[Jukka the Sling]

OOC: Let them into Redwall? Shouldn't they attack the cats?

[The Skarzs]

OOC: I thought they were coming up to the wall adjacent to where the cats were. I was thinking they might be brought into the abbey and alerted to the battling going on, and then go out through the main gate. However, you can do what you want.

[Jukka the Sling]

OOC: Okay.
BIC:

The Abbey was very close now, and cries and sounds of battle could be heard. Paisley turned and faced the hares, barking a command. "Long Patrol, prepare for battle!"

They emerged from the forest on the south side of the Abbey. The wildcats were quite close, and Paisley thought she could see one or two creatures fighting them. She debated only a second before yelling, "Charge!"

OOC: Might be a good time to start using Bryony, Aggril, and that-other-guy-whose-name-I-forget now.

[Delthion]

Feldion's ears pricked up on hearing the sound of thundering paws just after the order. He heard a horn blow and looked up and saw the Long Patrol! "Haha! The hares are here!" He fought even harder and recklessly until the Long Patrol hit the Cats flank.

[The Skarzs]

Even with two cats clinging to his back, Argunath slashed at Grina and Grian, effectively cleaving Grina's head from her shoulders. The cougar did not hesitate a moment as the lifeless body slumped to the ground before launching himself at the fleeing Grian. The wildcat screamed as Argunath pummeled into her, scrambling helplessly in his armored claws as he grabbed her by the head, and twisted. The scream stopped abruptly, replaced by another noise.

Argunath might not have been described as an intelligent at that moment; he was more of a wild beast, a force of nature. He roared his victory over his prey, holding his sword high, his eyes matching the color of the liquid that was spattered on him, and oozing from his many wounds. But it was only a moment before he was set upon by dozens of cats, and he went down under the onslaught.

[Jetthebinturong]

David was being overwhelmed. He had help of course, he suspected it was Jeboran though he'd never known the fox was such a crack shot. Nonetheless, he was losing, and losing quickly, barely managing to fend off the two cats that were backing him into a tree. Other cats crowded around and the archer killed some of them but he could not reach the ones closest to Dave. David felt his back scrape against the bark of the tree. That was it then. He was done for.

Jeboran slammed his fist on the wall, rattling off a stream of curses. "David. Get out of there you stupid cat, get the hell out of there." David was backed into a tree, cats cutting off any form of escape. "NO!" He began shooting with renewed fervor but he knew it was too late, David was going to die.

[Delthion]

Feldion was near Argunath when he went down; Feldion leaped up and grabbed a tree limb. Then dashed over a few tree branches before dropping down next to the mound of cats on Argunath, he slew many of them and forced them to turn and face the new threat, giving a chance for Argunath to recover.

[Jukka the Sling]

Paisley slashed and stabbed with her dirk, killing two cats. Beside her, a hare several seasons younger found himself confronted by a cat much larger than him. The cat grinned maliciously and drove his spear at the young hare, who dodged only to have the spear embed itself in his shoulder. He would have been done for, but at that moment Paisley whirled and slashed her blade across the cat's throat. He collapsed, choking on his own blood, and then lay still.

The hare bravely pulled the spear from his shoulder and continued fighting. Paisley nodded at him, then turned and flung herself back into the fray.
---------------------------------
Kaylan was so happy she could have cried. The Long Patrol had finally arrived! She lowered her bow, not wanting to hit a hare by accident. Arya would be fine now, she was sure of it. And so would Argunath... wait, where was Argunath? She'd been paying attention to Arya and hadn't noticed where he was.... She glanced around but couldn't see him.

What happened?
