Bark Twigrunner, the newly appointed Abbey Champion, and Verbane the hare, had been trecking through Mossflower for quite a time. Only this morning did they leave the fabled Abbey of Redwall inorder to set out to Verbane's homeland: Salamandastron. The noontide sun shone down on the forest floor. The trees were begining to lose their leaves and enter the bare stages of winter. "Do you think we should stop for lunch?" The white squirrel asked.

"Ah, scoff. Y' took the words outa m'bally mouth. Now I gotta fill it up with somat. What'da we got in the ol' nose bag t'day." Verbane was all hare. She may not remember much of anything else but she knew how to down vittles like she aways did. Even her name, Verbane, was just something she decided upon because she' thought it sounded rather familiar. She dearly hoped that this quest would help her to find out who she was. "Odd isn't it, that we 'aven't met another blinkin' soul so far?"

Bark began to unpack some vittles. He chose strawberry scones from his harvest sack for his lunch. "It is quite odd, normally Mossflower is teeming with creatures, both good and bad. I'm surprised we havn't ran into any trouble," The white squirrel sat down under a rowan tree and began to nibble on his scone.

Verbane was exhibiting her true hare apatite scoffing three times the food Bark had chosen before he had finished his first scone. Verbane however was also a Long Patrol Captain even if she did not remember being so and as such she was always on guard. Her ears perked up at the first crack of a broken branch. She laid down pasty she had been attacking a moment before and picked up her bow notching an arrow to it. "Bark, m'lado, don't get alarmed but I believe we are about to 'ave some bally company join us for our little repast."

At verbane's remark, Bark put a paw on the hilt of the Sword of Martin the Warrior. Crack! A twig snapped nearby, somebeast was hiding behind a large beech tree. Bark shot up like a bolt of lighting, and drew his magnificent blade. Holding it at the ready he approached the beast in hiding. "Who's their," He asked.
((Are we just going to meet an NPC character?))

((honestly I don't know I was just trying to make something happen. I'd say if it's a friend, like someone who's going to come along on the quest then it should be an actual character. if it's a foe just NCP them. Should we ask people if they've got any characters who want to come along on a quest?))
Verbane heard the twig crack but wasn't convinced that the beast who made the noise was the only one they would face. She scanned the woodlands all around them searching for more signs of life and awaited an answer to Bark's hail.

((Well I think one more person should be able to come along on the quest. If their is too many people it will get confusing. So maybe make a thread asking if anyone wants to join?))

((Darman posting as requested)) Darman stepped from behind the tree. His large frame reared into the sky as he looked down at the pair. "How are ye?" he asked. "Are those scones?" Darman looked forlornly at the food, for he obviously hadn't eaten for some time.

Verbane looked up, startled at the size of the hedgehog. It was no wonder she had thought there was more than one beast hiding in the wood. This one was easily as big as two or three normal sized creatures. She let her bow string go slack but she didn't lower it completely, and cautiously addressed him, "Dear me, but you are a big fellow, wot wot. I'd wager you could just about flippin' out scoff me. Unless that is you scoff creatures like me and I'm afraid I won't be so bally obliging. But if you be a friend you can jolly well join us."

"Me, a beast-eater! Are ye stark ravin' mad? I'm a hog, a demolitions hog. I clear trails and roads of fallen debris! I don't eat beasts!" said Darman as he eased his bulk down next to Verbane and reached for a scone.

"Of course you ain't a bloomin' beast-eater," she waggled her ears at him, put down her bow, and helped herself to another scone all the while being careful to keep her distance from the big beast's lethal looking spikes. "Wot do they call you, chap. Never late for supper, I'd wager, wot wot?"

Darman hurredly finished chewing his scone and swallowed. "Me name is Darman. My friends call me Dar, but nobody ever calls me late to dinner." he said with a smile. "Is there anything to drink?" he asked.

"The quiet squirrel type over there is named Bark and I've been called Verbane for the past few weeks although I've no blinkin' idea if that's me real name. Wot. Seem to 'ave lost all me flippin' memories before that point." The hare shrugged casually as if it didn't really matter. Then she turned to Bark, "What did we bring to wet the jolly ol' whistle, Bark m' laddo?"

* Scarlet had seen and followed the white squirrel and the hare stealthily for a half a mile when they decided to take a break for lunch. Thankful for the break, she perched in a beech tree nearby the pair of travelers, well hidden by the thick foliage.
Silently she edged out a cheese and mushroom sandwich from her pack and a canteen of water. Quickly she ate her repast on a thick branch and listened to the conversation below, occasionally sipping water from her black canteen.
Hearing a noise behind her, she sits up attentively and looks down on the other side of the beech trunk. Startled by what she saw she nearly fell from her perch. A giant hedgehog?! Scarlet wondered to herself, greatly surprised at the beasts size. Coming back from her thoughts she sees that the hedgehog had joined with the pair and now had made a trio of travelers.
Unthinkingly she stepped out onto a thin branch. Not having the strength to bear her weight, the branch snapped and she tumbled down in between the hare and the hedgehog, barely missing getting stabbed by one of the hedgehogs huge spikes as she came hurtling out of the tree.
In the twitch of a whisker she was standing and quickly introduces herself " Scarlet Rose Songtree, at your service! And who may you three be?" She asks boldly, not taking in consideration she was stalking them and had no business being there.

Darman slowly stood up and looked the squirrel over. "I am Darman, called Dar by my friends. I met Verbane," he gestured in the hare's direction, "and Bark," he pointed at the squirrel "Just a couple of minutes ago and they kindly agreed to share their food with me."
