Catori nodded and put two pieces on the fire before piling the rest up carefully. Aye, that oughtta be plenty fer tonight. He stretched a couple times and curled up by the fire wearily.

Darman stretched out on his bedroll and fell asleep almost immediately. He started snoring, but soon the snores caused a small avalanch and the entrance became covered with snow!

The sound of the avalanche woke Catori and he immediately put out the fire to save their oxygen. After he did that, he started working on digging through the snow. He soon gave up on completely unblocking the entrance and concentrated on just diging a small hole to let air in before curling up in a ball and trying to fall back to sleep.

The avalanche had also woken Darman. He took his war mallet and pushed it up through the top of the snowfall, enlarging the hole made by Catori. He started shaking the otter. "Take my mallet," he said. "The hole is big enough for you to climb through. Use the mallet to clear the entrance enough so I can get out."

Catori nodded and climbed through the hole with the mallet clenched in his powerful jaws. Once he got outside, he started clearing away the ice and snow as best as he could.

Darman was digging from the inside as well, even though it didn't do much good. He had to vent his frustration at what had happened because it was his fault and he knew it!

Catori working on clearing the snow away when he saw something that made him freeze in his tracks. A savage looking rat was standing not far away just staring at him. He could feel his Blood Wrath stir, but he forced himself to calm down and keep working while keeping a wary watch on the rat.

Soon the hole was big enough for Darman and he clambered out, pushing the haversack in front of him. He saw the rat and said "What do you want, sir?" Even as he spoke, Dar was slowly reaching for his mallet.

Catori shook his head and placed himself between Dar and the rat. Let me handle this, friend. I don't think he's going to say much anyways. He's done nothing but stare since we arrived here.

"I see" Dar muttered. "Ye'd think that he'd do somethin' other than just stare at us, though. It's gettin downright unnervin to have somebody starin' at ye without saying a word."

Catori nodded in agreement and glared lightly at the rat. I know, and I think he does too. I think that's exactly why he's doing it. Just my guess, though.

Darman growled. "I hate beast that try to phsyche others out. of course, I usually accomplish that, but not on purpose. My size does that for me." Dar looked back at the rat."What do we do about him?

Catori stared at the rat, trying to decide what to do about him. Just leave him, he ain't worth our time. Don't let your guard down, though. He may not have done anything yet, but I still don't trust him.

Darman grunted. "All right." he said. "Lets move on." Dar started moving off through the trees, easing his bulk along the path. He pulled his blowpipe and fitted a dart just to be sure.
((Are we going to have the rat do anything?))

Catori nodded and followed him away from the cave, staring up at the stars and remembering all the times that he would lay underneath them with his wife and just watch them. A hint of sadness clouded his eyes and a tear rolled down his cheek fur as these memories flashed thorugh his head. [OOC: Probably not... unless you wanna play the rat...]
