On the Way to Redwall Abbey

[Rocky]

Rocky and Jylus were conversing over the battle with those rats. They were on their way to Redwall! The famous Abbey! Rocky and Jylus wandered when they heard screams and shouts. "That sounds like GUOSIM, mate." "Let's go see what the ruckus is." Rocky said.

Rocky ran and kept up with Jylus. "I see GUOSIM, ermine, foxes, and a rabbit. Lets go join the fight!"

Rocky unsheathed his word and plunged into the fray. He killed two ermine.

[Ltc. Hubert Greenburrow II]

Log-a-Log saw a pine marten running with an otter. Thinking the pine marten was trying to catch the otter, Log-a-Log advanced on him and yelled, "Stop or I will kill you!"

As Jylus came nearer to the shrew leader he shouted, "It is all right, me and Rocky, this otter," Jylus motioned to Rocky, "are friends!"

Before Log-a-Log could question him further, Jylus had already ran, hobbling, after Rocky. "I can't run as fast as you, Rocky!"

(Just to tell you, Rocky, you aren't supposed to control other people's characters without permission, but I let you my that time, so no worries.)

[Rocky]

(Sorry about that. I tried not to. )

Rocky heard Jylus's shouts so he slowed down a bit and waited for Jylus. Rocky saw an ermine about to throw a javelin so he dispatced him with a neat dagger throw. The ermine gurgled than fell down.

Rocky ran to Log-a-Log. "How'd ya get in this mess mate? Did they ambush ya?"

[Ltc. Hubert Greenburrow II]

Log-a-Log was holding his wound in his left shoulder as he replied, "We saw 'em before they knew we did; they were gonna ambush us."

Hugh and Gerdd came back, grasping their wounds, though they were not really serious. As soon as the two comrades saw Log-a-Log's wound they started questioning him about how it was inflicted.

"What happened, Log-a-Log?"

"Are you all right there?"

"It doesn't look too bad, does it?"

Log-a-Log replied, "I got shot by an arrow, I'll live. I just need to clean it and put a dressing on it."

"Uh, sir, Log-a-Log, is it? I am a healer and seer, my name is Jylus. I will help you."

"I am Log-a-Log Gorjo Tallshrew, though you can call me Log-a-Log or Gorjo, or both. And I would greatly appreciate your help, Jylus. How 'bout we tell each other our stories, eh?"

After Log-a-Log and Jylus were finished talking and fixing up the shrew's wound, Log-a-Log told him about where they were bound, realizing the pine marten was a goodbeast at heart. Jylus said he would be happy to accompany them to the wonderful abbey.

(Rocky, you don't have to be sorry, it was hard not to control Jylus because we both had to travel at the same time to the same place and post in the same thread, so it's fine. )

[Jack Of Blades]

Jack lead his blades piercing many armored beasts. A shocking pain brought him to the ground with a bloody leg. He quickly bounced up almost ignoring the pain, attacking more. Another hit got him in the left shoulder with an arrow, it didn't stick just left a deep gash. He paused and went to his knee, rummaging through his pouches for a wrap and some pain killer herbs. He glanced up, where the battle was going on, many had already fallen and many more were to fall.

[Rocky]

Rocky was fighting like a madbeast. He threw a dagger and took an ermine's life. An ermine was trying to sneak up on a shrew but Rocky bulled forward and gave the ermine a resounding crack to the skull with his rudder-like tail; The ermine fell dead. "That was a clo-" "Uhn!" A arrow protruded through Rocky's calf. Rocky tore it out and snapped it in half.

Rocky hobbled to Jylus. "Jylus, can ye bandage mah leg? Some ermine got me good in the calf."

[Ltc. Hubert Greenburrow II]

After Log-a-Log was all patched up he sprang into the battle with renewed vigor, though he still couldn't use his broadsword with his left arm.

As Rockrudder asked if he could heal, Jylus was in the middle of slashing an ermine's throat, who had just slain a shrew.

"Yes, I can help--" Jylus ceased talking as he cut into a foe's stomach. "--you and heal your wound, Rocky."

Jylus cleared the area out where he and Jylus were fighting and brought him to sit on the grass. The seer quickly put a dockleaf poultice with herbs on Rocky's calf. "All right, back to the fight!"

[Rocky]

"Thanks, matey." Rockrudder just dispatched an ermine when he heard a voice.

"Och, ya wee lassies! Ah see your in a bit of trouble, ye ken?" It was a hare with about 23-24 followers. "Oi! What are ya doin' around these parts, mate?" Rocky asked. "And what's yer name?"

"Mah name is Jacksaw Swiftfire. Ah'm traveling to the Abbey o' Redwall, ye ken?" "Ah can see you're in a bite of trouble, eh?" Rocky nodded. "Oi! Log-a-Log! Come 'ere a second! I think ah found some warriors!" Rocky called.

[Rena Farsight]

Rena's desperate attempts at fighting were still pathetic at their best, so it barely surprised her when she felt something tear at her leg. Looking down to see blood, and feeling the throbbing pain that came with it, she blindly and half-mindedly stabbed at a random beast and stole his weapon, knowing that something bigger was necessary. Wish Brish and Poleblade were here, she thought bitterly and rather selfishly, glancing at Jack who'd been wounded in two places already. Well, no, I suppose if they were here they'd be pretty worse off. But at least they know how to fight.

[Ltc. Hubert Greenburrow II]

After the hare had spoken, Log-a-Log said, "I know that accent, it's from the Highlands, the Northlands, right, Jacksaw?"

[Rocky]

"Righto, me bucko" Jacksaw said. "Hares! Attack!" Jacksaw Shouted. Hares were battling with pikes, spears, javelins, and daggers. The only one with out a weapon was Jacksaw. He was knocking heads left and right with just his paws, feet, and sometimes his head.

Rocky floored an ermine with his tail. "Ya came in the nick of time, Jacksaw." Rocky said. "Och, think nothin aboot it." Jacksaw knocked and ermine out cold.

Rocky was going into a frenzy. His blood was roused and he was taking on 5 ermine at once. His only weapons were 2 daggers and his tail.

Wham!Thwack!

Rocky was knocked unconcious by 2 hits to the back of the head. "Sahrry matey, Ah had to do that. Ye were gonna get ya-self killed!" Jacksaw said

"Hares! Form a line around yon beastie[Rocky]! Doonae let any varmints get to 'im!" Jacksaw ordered.

"Oi, Log a Log, how many yon beasties do ya think are left?"

[Ltc. Hubert Greenburrow II]

After the hare had finished speaking, Log-a-Log strode over, nodded knowingly and saying, "I know that accent, you're from the Highlands, the Northlands, right?"

[Rocky]

"Yes, sah!" "I am from the Northlands. Ah'm proud of it, too!"

"How many of yon vermin were there when ye started yon battle?"

Rocky was just starting to come around a bit.

[Ltc. Hubert Greenburrow II]

Hugh was helping Log-a-Log find his broadsword he had dropped in the battle because of the arrow wound in his left arm. Log-a-Log had found his broadsword protruding from an ermine's back, so he sheathed it on the scabbard on his back and then replied to Jacksaw, "There was about two hundred fifty ermine, mate. I think it's over but there could be more of 'em. The vermin were tryin' to ambush us! Wonder why they attacked us, does anybeast have any idea?"

[Rocky]

Just as Log-a-Log had spoken, a follower of Jacksaw walked up with an ermine prisoner. "Oi, Jacksaw, ah found this beastie tryin' to escape! Ah've caught him and brought him back for questionin'.

Rocky woke up and was furious about being knocked out. "Oi! Why did ya knock me out cold, mate?!"

Jacksaw replied. "Ya were gonna get yaself killed, sirrah! Ye were takin' on aboot 6 ermine with jist 2 daggers!"

Rocky was furious and couldn't think of anything else so he just walked away. "He's in a jolly bad mood, eh eh?"

"Back to yon prisoner!" Jacksaw said. "Reager, ya sed ye captured him, eh?"

"Yes, sah!" Reager responded with a salute. "Ah thought he might know somethin', sah! What shall we do, sah?" Reager said.

"We shall question him. Diiiisssmissed!" To the ermine "What's ya name, sah?" The ermine didn't twitch. "Ah sed, what's ya name!" Jacksaw pulled a dagger from his belt and held it to the ermine's throat.

"I-I-Im Frinter, s-s-s-sir"

"Why did ye attack yon wee beasties?"

Frinter did not stir.

"Why!" Jacksaw shouted. Frinter didn't stir.

"Log-a-Log, ye can handle him, mah bonny friend. I'm doone with 'im!" Jacksaw and his hares stalked off.

[Ltc. Hubert Greenburrow II]

Log-a-Log was interested in finding the reason the ermine attacked him so he strode over to the vermin.

"You! Why'd you attack our creatures, we did nothing to you!"

The ermine spat in Log-a-Log's face, trying to show the shrew chieftain he was unafraid.

Log-a-Log sucked his saliva back, as if readying himself to spit. The ermine ducked his head but didn't feel anything. He looked up.

"I am not even gonna waste my spit on the likes of you!"

Jylus stepped forward with his dagger. He hated vermin, especially because they were the creatures who maimed him.

Jylus stabbed the ermine before anyone could stop him. The ermine slumped to the ground gasping out, "Gordyl will kill you!" He started cackling insanely as he died.

Log-a-Log and his shrews left for Redwall. Hugh decided he would head to Salamandastron.

[Rocky]

"Ooooh dear! That don't sound good at all, eh mateys?" Rocky said.

Jacksaw said " Yon beastie was a weird one, eh? Well, Ah'm glad I culd help ye good beasties. Me and mah patrol are off to battle with the rest of the Long Patrol. Anybeastie care tah join meh?"

"I think I'm off to go wanderin'. I'll see ya around, mateys." "Bye" Rocky said

[Ltc. Hubert Greenburrow II]

Jylus and the Guosim walked off to Redwall Abbey after saying there good-byes to Hugh.

As Jylus walked, Log-a-Log noticed he was limping.

"Jylus, are you hurt?"

Jylus stumbled and fell down.

"Ow! Uh, I'll be all right, I am a healer after all, right?" The seer managed to smile weakly.

Log-a-Log ordered Moddle to help him check the pine marten.

"Jylus is wounded, check 'im"

"It's fine, Log-a-Log, I insist."

Moddle found a deep gash in the healer's left side. "Whoa! Log-a-Log, you better have a look at this!"

Log-a-Log bent down and looked, surprised. "Jylus, why do you not heal yourself?"

"Because I need to rest. Though I am young, I am weary. I knew it was my destiny to die here."

Log-a-Log's eyes filled with tears; he had liked Jylus even though he had met him only about and hour before. "Oh, Jylus, Jylus."

Jylus slumped over and lay still.

"Jylus?" The shrew chieftain realized he was dead. Turning to his shrews, Log-a-Log ordered, "Let's get him a proper burial."

After they buried Jylus and participated in a funeral, the Guosim started heading to Redwall Abbey again.

[Jack Of Blades]

The fox made a sidelong dodge from an arrow or two then skid to a stop in front of Rena, a large armored beast made a cleaving swing at his body. Jack barely dodged it then came in with a series of swings, felling another. He looked back at Rena to be sure his Comrade was okay. He looked about, the smell of battle was already there. A sour smell it was, blood. The sounds still came, from those who were left to suffer and those growling for war. He ,somewhat, limped over to Gorjo "Ye alright my friend?" he said just loud enough to hear.

[Rena Farsight]

Rena was copying Jack's usual tactic and knocking the next beast unconscious by smacking it over the head with her new sword. It was heavy and awkward and she wasn't quite sure how to use it, so she continued using it as a narcotic implement.
