The Army Travels

[Rocky]

Rein Skystorm and his army have been traveling for days, looking for places to conquer. "Hold!" Rein shouted. The command passed through the ranks of his army. "We rest...Then we move out." The army was relieved to rest. "Make fires... Get food..." 100 beasts set out to get firewood and food. Rein lounged against a tree, his 3 captains sitting around him. "Ok, the plan is simple..." Rein started telling them the plan to conquer their next fort. "We surround the fort... We call out their leaders... Then you, Jeron, shoot them with arrows. We attack their fortress... And take it over." His captains nodded. "Aye, sir." Jeron said. "You can count on me..." Rein nodded. "Good... or you'll be dead." Jeron nodded quickly. "Get me some birds.... Quail... Pigeon... I don't care but get me some food." All three captains nodded. The set off with their weapons and ran into the forest. Rein lounged with his back against the tree. His shortsword next to him in case danger arose.

Twas common knowledge around Mossflower that the badger Azol Darkpaw was a very dangerous creature, possessed of the Bloodwrath and showed no mercy to vermin. After his encounter with a tattered group of Flitcheye that tried to capture him, he was ready and willing for a fight where he would come out on top.
The badger trudged onward through the trees and peered out, clutching his sharp battle-axe with the steel blade and aspen pole. He smiled to himself. This warlord was one of the ones that acted lazy, but could still be a formidable enemy. His eyes tinged red with a flair of Bloodwrath, the badger approached the clearing.

[Rocky]

Rein heard footsteps. Louder than normal. He looked sharply to the side. A Badger. "This is going to be fun..." Rein said with a smirk. "Melroch! Get up here!" Melroch, an enormous fox, came walking up. "Badger over there... " Melroch smirked. "Give me your mace." Rein said. "Yes, master." Melroch handed Rein a mace. It had a metal handle, a chain, then a spiked ball. Rein stood up. "Come out here, badger." He said in a low tone but loud enough for Azol to hear. "Melroch..." Rein whispered. "... Get 50 beasts, all armed to the teeth, bring them over here." Melroch nodded and ran over to the horde. He hand picked 50 tough looking beasts. A motley crew of foxes, stoats, rats, etc. Melroch reported back to Rein. "Nice job, lieutenant." Melroch nodded. "Come on badger.... I'm waiting." Rein said.

[Blackbeak Silvertalon]

The look on Azol's face was truly frightening as the badger smiled, baring long yellowed teeth, eyes suffused by dark red blood. He swung the axe at the ground and growled. 'Stupid mangy-furred vermin!' he ground out, then leapt at Rein, teeth bared in a bloody grin.

[Rocky]

Rein smiled and opened his paws wide and the badger took him to the ground. Rein was a large beast but this badger was larger than him. Rein pushed out with all his strength and came out from underneath the badger. Melroch came charging forward but Rein stopped him. "Hold!" Melroch stared at Rein. Rein winked then turned back to Azol. He hefted the mace and his shortsword. Rein started laughing as he twirled both mace and blade. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this, badger." Rein laughed again. He broke into a sprint aiming straight for Azol. He jumped upward above Rein, then slammed the mace down as hard as he could, aiming at Azol's shoulder. Rein jumped to the ground in front of Azol. He bared his teeth. Rein threw the shortsword away and hefted just the mace. "Come and get it, beastie." Rein smiled.

[Blackbeak Silvertalon]

The heavy steel mace slammed into Azol's shoulder. The badger roared with pain as his eyes became completely blood-red. He stood up and slashed with the battle-axe at a weasel and a stoat that stood next to him. He crouched down close to the ground, preparing to pounce again as he threw his battle-axe at a mob of vermin a few paces from his bloodied body. 'Go to Hellgates and burn, fox! Eulaliaaaaaa!'

[Rocky]

Rein smiled. The weasel and stoat that that Azol slashed at fell to the ground; one dead, the other dieing. Rein turned to Melroch. "Now." He nodded. Melroch and his fifty beasts surged forward. Melroch threw himself at Azol, and the rest of the troops found theirselves doing the same thing. Every beast with Melroch flung themselves at Azol. Rein smirked. The 3 captains walked in next to Rein. Jeron spoke up with the obvious, "Intruder, eh?" Rein turned to him. "No... I just decided to send Melroch and 50 beasts after my own horde beast." Rein rolled his eyes. "Fetch a net, Jeron." Jeron nodded then ran off to get a net.

[Blackbeak Silvertalon]

The mass of vermin that had once been Azol Darkpaw was carried to the ground by the weight. He still fought to the last, throwing off vermin that then landed on the ground with heavy thuds, still yelling the wild war-cry of hares and badgers from Salamandastron mountain. 'Eulaliaaaa! Eulaliaaa!' And that was met by another voice. Through a hole in the vermin he looked up to see a blackbird cawing harshly. He rolled over and roared, this time louder. 'Eulaliaaaa! 'S death on the wind! Eulaliaaaaaa!'

[Rocky]

Jeron tossed the net to Rein. "Get off o'him!" Rein roared. The vermin jumped off of Azol. "get more nets!" Jeron shouted. Rein threw the net at Azol. Melroch, Jeron, and 5 others came runnign up with nets. They threw the nets at Azol. "Get back!" Rein shouted. Rein stood in front of Azol, still twirling the mace. "Not so tough now, eh?" Rein heard the cawing above. "Melroch, kill that thing!" Merlcoh ran up with a bow and fired an arrow at the blackbird.

[Blackbeak Silvertalon]

Azol was hopelessly tangled in the net, at the mercy of the black fox that the others called Rein. Azol glared fearlessly up at his captor's sneering ace and growled in a gruff voice: 'You've captured me, now what do you want, mangy-furred scum?' He asked, delivering the same insult he had only a moment ago and swiped at the fox' face with a blunt clawed paw.

[Rocky]

Rein simply smiled, but that smile wouldn't last long. The blunt claw slammed into Rein's face. rein turned back to Azol. Rein's noce was broken, and there was a cut on his cheek. Rein cracked his nose back into place with a grunt of pain. Rein felt his cheek, it was wet with blood. Rein spat at Azol. "What I want with you?" Rein turned back to his army and laughed. They laughed with him. He turned back and stared at Azol with blazing eyes. "I want your life!" He growled then laughed again. "Melroch, drag this beast over and tie him up. Melroch nodded and ran over to the beast. He dragged the net with all his strength and brough him over by a thick oak tree. He grabbed rope and tied him up against the tree. Melroch spat at Azol then walked away. Rein grabbed Melroch by the arm. "I'll be keeping this mace." Melroch sighed. "Alright, sir." Melroch said then walked off. He grabbed a mace from another beast and growled at them. Rein walked over to Azol and shook his head. "Stupid beastie."

[Blackbeak Silvertalon]

Azol smiled, baring his teeth again. Then take it, scum. But when you do, yours will be gone as well. Eulaliaaaa!'
(Sorry twas really short I have to go)

[Rocky]

((No Worries))

BIC: Rein smirked and crossed his arms. "Not now." The black fox replied. He stared at Azol. A wild beast. Rein crouched down and rested his arms on his knees. "You need to tame your strength there, beastie. You don't know your own strength." Rein shook his head. "Shame... Ya know... I could use you... We'll see." Rein stood back up. He turned to Melroch, "Cook me some food." He said. Melroch grabbed a quail body and started roasting it after skinning it. He spit it over a fire. Jeron walked over to Rein. The weasel sat next to him. "Wild beast, eh?" Rein stared at him. "I'll say. D**n beast broke my nose." He somewhat growled out. "Go rest, Jeron." Rein said. Jeron knew better than to argue with his leader. He learned the hard way when Jeron first joined Rein's army.

"I'd like to join your army, sir." Jeron said. Rein stared at him. "Show me your skills. Fight that beast there." Rein said, pointing to a ferret. Jeron pulled out his sword and challenged him. He killed the ferret. "Good. Now go rest. Ye'll need it." Rein said. Jeron stared at him. "But I'm not tired... Why don't you go rest?" Rein stared at him. He got up and walked over to him. Rein grabbed Jeron and spun him around. Rein whipped Jeron's back with the flat of Jeron's own blade. He then threw Jeron off into the vermin mass. "Never say that to me again. You do as I command." Rein said. Jeron crawled away to nurse his own wounds.

Jeron shuddered at the thought of what had happened. Of course, Jeron was 18 then, and Rein was 20. Jeron walked back over to his tent and went to sleep. Rein lounged idly next to Azol, keeping a few feet between himself and the badger.

Although Rein and his army didn't know it, another pair of eyes was watching the badger from a distance. These eyes, dull and dead-looking, belonged to Rezz Sarovask, spy and assassin. He had noticed the signs of a large army heading his way and had taken to hiding, watching the fox warlord carefully. The crow made it a point to never make a move unless he knew the most he could about any given situation.... and turn it to his advantage. For now, he was watching to see if this warlord truly was anything special.
So he continued his silent vigil, virtually blending in to the dark bark of the tree he was perched in.

[Blackbeak Silvertalon]

(Scalrag, excuse me if you have, but did you fill out a character form and get it accepted?)
Azol bared his teeth at the fox warlord. 'Shame I didn't give you a worse injury, scum. Perhaps you'd like me to do that?'
Azol's eyes began to suffuse with dark red blood, and the mad beast growled out. 'I don't work with vermin. Get close to me and I'll tear your stupid heart out, fox! Eulaliaaaaa!' Azol scrabbled with the net, tearing it here and there, and turned over, aiming a blow at the sneering fox' face, but he couldn't reach. Venting his anger, he aimed a slash at a rat standing quite close by, which, if hit, would be cleaved in two with the force of the blow.

[Rocky]

OOC: Yea, Scalrag is accepted. I read the bio and ash accepted it, I'm pretty sure. But Yea, he's accepted.

BIC: "Scum? You like to use that word a lot, don't you?" Rein asked. Rein looked elft and right. He failed to see the camoflauged crow. He didn't even figure there was a crow. Rein stared at Azol. When he swiped outwards at a rat, the rat tried to dodge, but was killed. The wind picked up and the trees were blowing. Rein could hear the rustling of the leaves, some even falling down. It was winter time, a flurry of snow started to fall down. "Melroch, get more nets." Rein ordered. Melroch nodded and ran off to get nets. Rein stood 2 feet from the badger. He crouched down and stared. "Why are you so wild?" He muttered to himself. Melroch and 5 others came running up with nets, they all threw them over the badger. "Melroch... get me a spear..." Rein said. He stared at Azol and smiled viciously. Melroch ran off to find a good, long spear. Rein stood back up to his full height. He was taller than every beast here except Azol. "What's yer name?" Rein asked. Melroch walked up with a stout spear. "Are you gonna torture tha' thing, sir?" Melroch asked. Rein looked at him and shook his head. "Torturing is for the weak..." Rein said then grabbed the spear. Since Azol was slightly near a tree, Rein hurled the spear. It shredded the top two nets, but snagged the 3rd and fourth and the spear buried itself into the tree. Now the net was snagged on the spear-head, and the speard head was in the tree. "'E won't be goin'anywhere soon..." Rein laughed. His army stood there watching the spear jutting out of the tree.

[theredwaller]

Nitty watched as the evil warlord tortured is mate. ' I will now allow this to go on ANY longer! ' He thought to him self as he gripped his bow from the back, and began to load it slighty. ' YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS! ' Once these words filled threw the head of Nitnuiq Sleumas, He jumped out of his cover and yelled. " Eulaliaaaa! 'S death on the wind! Eulaliaaaaaa! " He then landed on his massive paws, and aimed his paws directly at the forhead of fox. " YOU WILL DIE YOU SCUM! " he shouted as his fingers let go of his arrow. The arrow flew directly to the head of the fox. Nitty Hoped that he shot the arrow before the fox had a chance to dodge it.

[Rocky]

Rein heard the words and turned slightly only to see an arrow flying at him. Rein bent backwards, and the arrow grazed his chest. He stood up to see a hare standing with a bow. Rein rolled his eyes and drew a spear. "Melroch... get me 10 archers..." He sighed. Meanwhile, as Melroch ran off to gather the archers, Rein studied this newcomer. A hare.. a Big one... Muscular. "Do I know you?" Rein asked almost dumbly. Rein then stared at the uniform. Long Patrol hare. Melroch came running up with Rein's longbow and 10 archers. "Ready!" The archers fitted their bows with arrows. "Aim!" The took their aims. The archers awaited the order to for, but it never came. "Sir?" One of them asked. "Hold!" Rein replied. "Keep your aims on 'im, though. E' may be with the badger." Rein pulled his bow taut and aimed straight for the hare. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't have my archers fire?" Rein smirked. "Gather more archers, Melroch." Melroch nodded then ran through the camp. They were warriors, archers, assassins, spys, etc. laying everywhere; some watching the conflcit, others not caring, figuring their leader would take care of it. Melroch gathered 10 more archers and ran up to Rein. "Melroch, aim them at the badger." Melroch nodded then ordered them to aim at the badger. "No archer fire yet! Not yet!" Rein shouted. "Go on, rabbit, why shouldn't I order my archers to fire at you?"

[theredwaller]

Nitty looked at the fox as he questioned him. Nitty then put a grin on his face and thought to himself, ' Its time to play tricks on the big ole fox. ' He then put his bow on his back, and began to speak. " Oh, I don't know.. " he began as he looked at the fox. " Wot? You have about 20 archers back there? Ready to fire at will? Well who knows... Maybe i have a bunch of hares behind me, ready to fire back at you once the first arrow comes out? WHO KNOWS?? I might have the rest of the long patrol BEHIND ME, just waiting for you to make a move.. Or maybe, It's just little ol' me sitting here all by myself. But, as i have said before.. Who Knows?? Only I do.." He said those last words in a menacing tone, that sent shivers up his own back. 'Hopefully he falls for it' He thought to himself as he stared at the fox.

(Sorry it took me so long to join but my life is a hectic mess lol)
Rith had been tracking the vermin horde for days now. He had picked up their trail from a raided village several weeks back and was finally closing in for the kill. His tar black fur was drenched in sweat and his breath came out in thick wet gasps but he still pressed on, his iron will and personal code drove him to. "Time to die Foxie!" he whispered through clenched teeth as he spotted the horde. He slipped undercover and watched the scene unfold. A huge raging badger was caught in a net and a lone hare was standing down the Foxlord himself. Hordelings stood around the fox, many in number but the main force was still a little ways away. Plenty of time to kill the fox and be done with it before they got there. He had just unsheathed his flamburge when a huge hairy arm grabbed him around the throat and lifted him into the air. "Wot weh got 'ere! ah vermin me thinks!" a deep voice growled. Rith struggled against the trunk like arm but even his strength could not break the steely grip "I am no vermin beast!! Let me go or I will rip out your heart!!" Rith gasped. The grip relaxed slightly "Hmmmm me thinks ye ant no vermin at all, a squrrly perhaps? But a tough one by the look 'o ye." Rith was let back to the ground and he immediately whirled around his iron gauntlets ready to rend the flesh of his foe. What stood in front of his surprised even him, it was a Beaver! A monster of a beast, with heavy wiry fur, a thick brick like build, and a barrel chest. He had a evil looking Lochaber Axe grasped in one paw and seemed more then capable of using it one handed. "Ah beh Gunnlaug Kætilmund Of Bothvar Son of Arnfinn at ye service, i wus tracking this 'ere 'orde fer muny ah day an now ah aim tah kill dem all!!". Rith grinned broadly, he liked this Beaver "That was my plan to friend, it seems we both are looking for revenge on this Fox." Gunnlaug slapped Rith on the shoulder with a heavy paw "yeh beh alrot frond neh wot beh ye nam so ah nows wot tah call ye?" Rith puffed his chest and smiled "I am Rith Greysong Blackmane Redeye Stormcrow! now Gunnlag my friend lets go kill us some vermin!" Gunnalg laughed his deep baritone voice boomed and thundered "BLOOD BLAST AND FIRE!!! BLOOD BLAST AND FIRE!!!" Rith responded with his own war cry "TAKTAKTAKTAKTAKTAKTAKTAKTAKTAK!!!" and they both charged into the throng of archers. Rith's flamburge scythed a wide swath through any beast in his way, sending severed limbs and split torsos flying around him. Gunnlaug hacked and stabbed with his vicious axe. Heads fell like gruesome rain, everywhere he went vermin fell in mangled bloody heaps their last breaths taken by his monster blade. "OYE FOXIE AH BEH COMIN FER YE!!!! BLOOD BLAST AND FIRE!! BLOOD BLAST AND FIRE!!" Gunnalg roared as he charged the Foxlord, murder in his electric blue eyes. Rith made his way over to the netted badger and slashed him free of his ropen prison. "Yer free beast!! NOW TAKE YOUR REVENGE!!! TAKTAKTAKTAKTAKTAK!!" and he charged back into the fray. Gunnlaug circled the grey fox, he slid his shield from his back and hefted it into his paw, "YE gonna die foxie, any lust werds fer yer mum 'fer i kill yeh!"
