Siege on the Mountain

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Petyr entered the room in which Degloc and Elya were in, and bowed. "Well, my Lord, should I send recruiters and scouts to the mainland?" he asked.

[Delthion]

"Aye, that you should, send the recruiters out of sight of the Mountain, and you should be the scout, more than one might attract attention, and you're our best scout."

[Faiyloe]

"Sorry, did ah kill 'im ta slowly far yer tastes?" Elya said coldly ignoring Petyr, she then straitened and turned to Deglock "Ah'd set a spy, a beast 'o can spread lies 'bout our strength, size an' ability, dey pose as a deserter, gain der enemies trust, den dey get any information they can 'bout de mountain and return ta us."

[Delthion]

"Yes, that might work, although there is much risk involved, too much. If there is no one else, I think I know what we shall do. This is a combination of your plan and my own. I will choose a section of the crew to starve themselves, promising larger portions of the treasure that lies within the mountain. After a week we will start rowing closer to shore but still out of sight, then we will puncture the hull of a lifeboat, then send a smaller portion of the crew to appear peaceful. Under one of your leaderships, then we will continue to do this until we have a decent amount in the mountain, not enough to make them think that something is going on, but enough to aid us. Then we will strike."

[Faiyloe]

"Dey won't be fooled twice. De Hares are no' like de mice an' small villagers, A boat full of vermin well draw suspicion, de won't trust any of dem an if de don't kill dem and drow dem out dey may just lock dem all up. I say send just one creature... ah volunteer, Ah am trained ta be able to fight even en de harshest conditions. Once in, den I sneak en soldiers and 'ide dem in de mounten. Dat way ye 'ave strong 'elthy fighters en de mountain, ensted of weak starved ones who at dat point might just as well turn against you as fight for ye and die. 'unger makes beasts do tings dat dey would ne'er do 'afore. Only de strongest can stay loyal t'rough 'unger," Elya said leaning on his desk and challenging his plan.

OOC: I had an idea, what if just before Elya leaves Degloc surprises her and claws her arm to make her story more authentic.

[Delthion]

"But, one person won't help. And they will be starved and wounded, maybe put the captain's carcasses on the boat just to make it more believable."

OOC: Faiy, it just wouldn't help having only one person. One boatload would suffice though.

[Faiyloe]

OOC: That is the thing a bunch of injured starving vermin will be no use to you inside the mountain or not. They are not all exquisitely trained most of them are pretty normal sloop off the streets, it is just mutiny fodder if you ask me. You need them to be healthy, to be able to fight and alert and most of all loyal and willing to do what ever you say. That is where I come in. Elya is highly trained to be able to fight and keep a clear head even through hardship starvation and injury. She could get Inside (They are more likely to trust her, she is a girl she is one and she is rather small compared to a hare) then once inside she could sneak in a boat load of healthy ready to fight vermin. 

[Delthion]

OOC: But that is why we wait, they will hopefully heal and be fed. And led by Elya, who would leave no room for mutiny, also with the promise of extra loot.

"Your idea might work, we'll go ahead with that. Begin preparations for it at once."

[Eulaliaaa!]

Maple hesitated, then slowly set the bag down, "Alright..... but what be you under attack for? I thought nobeast were big 'nough t' mess wid Salamandastron," she said, pawing at one of her nose rings.

[rrrrr]

"Aye, matey, we'll go explore. Hopefully we'll be back before everyone arrives.", Rade said to Mystery.

[Faiyloe]

OOC: That might be so but this is a RP long drawn out sieges are kind of boring. Anyway thanks for listening to me.

BIC:

"Aye, emmediately, sir," She said in a simpering voice as she bowed low and exited the room.

Heather snatched up the bag and tossed it to Blueleaf who proceeded to count the contents. "There was a flippen' fleet of ships spotted coming this way not to long ago, wot. " 

[Jukka the Sling]

Lora stowed her sling back in her belt with a disappointed look.  Obviously this other squirrel was no threat at all, for the more she looked at her, the more she realized that Maple (if that was her name) was just a common thief.  The hares have this under control, she thought, and slipped away.  The mess hall was just a few corridors away, and she was looking forward to finishing her meal.  Salamandastron fare was better than anything she was able to cook at home.

[LT Sandpaw]

OOC: @Cornflor  *Sulks* Fiiiiiiiine.

Sven had left his partner's in crime to do his tasks. Even as a First Private he was assigned some rather monotonous tasks. Grunting the searat tore apart yet another section of rope letting the rotting fibers fall to the ground.

"Failed inspection, 'oo is takin' care of these things, cause they ain't doin' their job." The big rat said to himself kicking the offending pieces over the side. He glanced about angrily before noticing a female weasel walking across the deck. Recognizing the new captain Sven saluted with a wide sweep that was more mocking then respectful.

"Ahoy Cap'n, how goes th' plans of attack eh?"

~*~*~*~*~

None of the hares were very patient with the idea that the evening meal could very well be disappearing as they sat around. Blackthorn gestured towards his small team. "Right chaps back to th' mess hall wot. An' Sergeant Heather I believe I jolly well put you in charge of our guests wot. Escort miss erm... Wots your name again miss?" He asked Maple as Blueleaf sorted though the stolen supplies.

[Eulaliaaa!]

"Maple," replied the squirrel, "An' I were thinkin' nobeast was attackin' you hares. Who's attackin'?" She asked, watching Blueleaf  go through the food hungrily.

[Cornflower MM]

After a few more turns, based on the likely direction Aiden would have gone (And also rudely asking another hare if she'd seen him) Arya finally spotted her brother up ahead. "Hey! Wrong direction!" She called, hurrying to catch up. Aiden turned, a look of surprise on his face. "Well, well, look who got themselves unlost." He teased, walking back to her.
