I did not see that coming moments

[Wot, wot!]

 I have had many moments while reading the Redwall books when something happened that I did not see coming. What are some of yours?

Here's one of mine : When lord Rawnblade fell into the pit with the scorpion Scrabblag during the attack against Gabool. (Mariel of Redwall)

I totally saw that one coming.

I guess miine would be when Hon Rosie and Durry took control of the frogs in The Bellmaker and it totally worked!

[Mhera]

When Swiffo died in The Rogue Crew.

[The Skarzs]

When Drander died in The Rogue Crew.

[Izeroth]

 When Crumdun got off scot-free in The Rogue Crew. When vermin are involved, you usually expect them to die somehow.

Interesting thread! I would say there are quite a few unexpected deaths throughout the Redwall series. This adds more suspense and excitement. One never knows when another character is going to croak, and Brian Jacques didn't shy away from killing off characters of great relevance and importance both good and evil, either. Almost anything could happen

I personally did not see Korvus Skurr throwing Sicariss in the pool with the giant, carnivorous fish (Doomwyte). So cruel and horrifying...yet so adding to the book! Upgrade the creepiness!

[The Skarzs]

Yes, that's a good one.

I think the reason there were so many unexpected things to happen by the end of The Rogue Crew was because it wasn't fully completed by the time it was published. (At least, that's how I felt about the way it was written.)

The death of Brinty and Swiffo.

When Piknim died in Pearls of Lutra... that was so sad 

[Hickory]

When Drander died in The Rogue Crew.

Honestly, this is to be expected. Brian does kill of many characters he slowly developed, becuase, heck, vermin are evil!

All that I can think at the moment, and even this is vague. In High Rhulain I didn't think the timid brother of the nasty cat was going to be killed, or at least so soon after being introduced. I hoped there would be more to that character and it was sad that he died so undeservedly. :/

[Eulaliaaa!]

I agree, Jeefra shouldn't have been killed off so quickly (I actually kind of liked him, probably because of the name!), I really hated Pitru after that, and many other things he did...

[MeadowR]

^ Ahh, that's their names. Thanks. :p

[Eulaliaaa!]

No problem.

I don't know, the series were rather predictable for the most part. I have to say one of the things I least expected was when Matthias lost to the rat thing and was thrown over the edge.
