RP: A Tale of Reedbind: Quest for Justice

[Muse]

Well, I was thinking, that Akitka could be fighting someone, whose incredibly small, maybe even an otterbabe, so can't see them and trips. Then, the snake's poison finally hits his brain and kills him. Yeah, I'll make it like he never lay down so that the poison wouldn't reach his head.

[Mad Maudie]

"He shall if i have anything to do with it!" Riverrose said and then broke into a fit of coughing

[BrookSkimmer]

(Maudie's got the battle with Akitka then I shall bring our group to a meeting with the adder in the tunnel into UnderSky.)

Verka had not been wrong. There was a tunnel leading into the underground world. The crow's eyes shined with vengeance as he watched the otters enter the tunnel. They would never get there alive. Who could face an adder the size of the one known to be in the tunnel?

"Come on then! Everybeast follow me!" Shuffer edged forward through the small tunnel. It was not long before the dry smell of adder hit his nostrils. The cook began to shrink back.

"Hold on everyone...there's a snake in here!"
_______

Ekky watched the little otter in the cage. She was so small and weak. It was a wonder she was even alive. The little sea otter didn't know what to do. It was dark and scary and he wanted to go home!

(OOC: Whoever wants to battle the snake to enter UnderSky go ahead!)

[Skipper]

OOC:i wanna fight im! im gonna bring da bird back into the tunnel
BIC:swiftly grabbing the bird Oakpaw took out his dirk and moved forward slowly

[Muse]

Lord Bloodwing heard of the captured bird. He did not send anyone to save him. Instead, he devoted his attention to keeping Akitka happy. He visited the otter captives every so often, to mock them.

[BrookSkimmer]

(OOC: I will play the snake. Skipper, you have dibs on killing it!)

The adder's head rose as he scented beasts in his dwelling. Moving forward on silent scales, his black tongue flickering in and out, the snake stalked whoever it was.

Eventually the adder knew he was close. He could see the flicker of torches and hear footpaw steps. Then he was in front of them. There was a larger otter out front, holding a crow in front of him. The bird did not matter, he would kill the intruders!

The adder lunged forward and attacked the big otter with bared fangs!
____

The little otters waited in their cage under ground. There seemed to be no use in waiting. They were fairly convinced they would die in their prison. Nobeast knew where they were. They would never be rescued...

[Skipper]

only quick reactions saved Oakpaw, he pushed the bird at the snake and lept to the side and thrust downwards with his dirks, his mistake, he had blinded the snake which would only make it more harder to kill, he prepared himself for the next attack

[BrookSkimmer]

The adder felt his fangs meet flesh. Venom gushed forth to fill Verka with death. The bird stiffened and died without a sound. He fell to the ground a mess of black feathers. The adder hissed in disgust at his mistake. He had hoped it would be the otter!

Before he could think his eyes went dark and lightened seemed to burst in his head. He tried to shake his head free from the pain that engulfed him but no release came! He could not see and something wet dripped down the sides of his scaly face. 

"SSSSssssssss Deattttttthhh!"

The snake rasped the words and began to strike wildly in all directions. He would kill the one who had blinded him and all others with him!

[Skipper]

Oakpaw winced as the adders tail wacked him on the hip, he twirled his dirks and soared over the adder landing on its back, he had too hang on too stop himself falling of, using all his strength he plunged his dirks into the adders head, he fell of as he was hit on the side of his head by the adders coils

[BrookSkimmer]

Shuffer stood back as Oakpaw went to work on the adder. It was not that the otter cook did not want to help, there was no way he could. The tunnel was narrow and dark. Between the otter with the flailing dirks and the coils of the adder Shuffer could not get through to help.

"That Oakpaw is some fighter." He breathed the words as the snake was dispatched by the strike to the head.

Once Oakpaw was on the ground and the adder was dead Shuffer rushed forward and came to Oakpaw's side.

"Come on matey, please be alright!" He hoped fervently that the blow to the head had not killed Oakpaw.

The tunnel ahead was now clear. Verka had died but they did not need somebeast to lead them any more. The kingdowm of UnderSky was now ahead.
_____

The otter young ones shivered in their cage wondering if anybeast would come to their rescue.

[Skipper]

Oakpaw chuckled "i'll be with you for sometime" he got up steadily and took his dirks out of the adders head, cleaning them he then sheathed them and said "lets continue"

[Muse]

"Tasty meat and roasting flesh
that is what we birds make best
fresh young ones to savor much
bones to quake and break and munch
Karaaa! Karaaa! Karaaaaaaaa!"
The rooks, crows, ravens, magpies and owls flapped about the young ones cave, screeching horribly. Gawrak, the blind albino raven seer, chuckled dryly as he watched the small ones shrink back in fright. "Akaka! Methinks they art ready for Akitka, my lord!"
Lord Bloodwing shook his feathered head. "Yawak! We wait, my good seer. We wait!"
The raven bowed his head. "I am thine to command, my leige."

[Mad Maudie]

"I think there gonna eat us?" Riverrose asked hesitantly

[Redwall Musician]

"Eat us and I'll kill them!" Dewdrop said fiercely. How she would do that was a question even to her. She noticed Ekky cowering in the corner. "There, there everyone! We'll be just fine you'll see. You've got me here! We'll be back home soon!" A glint of doubt entered Dewdrops heart. She muttered to herself, "I hope."

[Mad Maudie]

"I will to!" Riverrose said standing up
"Do you think they'll feed us huh huh?"
