The large gray fox ran through the woods with the hare's head in one paw and a large cutlass in the other. Followed by five lizards, a pine martin, six weasels, three ferrets and two large black rats. They had been running for thier lives. But now they were getting tired from all the fighting and running. The fox finally stopped. He turned to the creatures that had followed him and spoke in a commanding tone.
"Salvador! Chop down some branches and gather wood. You there! Pine Martin! Yes you! Gather some flint and some rocks. You three weasels! You got bows on you yes? Hunt some fowl for food! You two! Yes you searats! Go and find a stream or any kind of water. Everyone else scout around and make sure this area is safe!"
When everyone went off to do what they were commanded to do. The Fox sat down against a sycamore tree and looked at the cutlass. The blood on it had finally hardened and the blade was no more dripping. He would need to clean the blade sooner or later. Than he turned his head to the left and lifted his left paw up. There. Being held by it's long ears. Was the head of a hare. Drained of all blood and was no longer dripping. The fox smiled as he said "Im gonna skin your head and make a nice trophy out of you. For what you did to Richard." Satisfied. He stuffed the head in a bag he had been carrying and pulled out a rag and canteen. Spilling a little water on the rag, he started to clean the cutlass blade.
(Sorry if this is not very good. It has been a long time sence i last roleplayed.)

A scrawny looking cat with lgiht and dark brown fur had stumbled into the clearing after somehow managing to not be seen by the guards. He hadn't even noticed any of them yet and flopped onto the ground wearily.

Salvador. The biggest monitor. Had came back to the campsite with a load of dry branches and leaves under one arm and a immense long axe in his other clawed hand. The Pine Martin. William. Came back with flint and rocks and bent over to make a small circle of rocks so when the fire started. The flames would not spread out. The three Weasels came back with two large waterfowl they had killed with their longbows. The two searats had followed them after seeing what they caught and came back along with them to report their find of water.
The Monitor dropped the branches and leaves into the circle of rocks and the Pine Martin scrapped flint with a large rock till finally. A large spark started the fire. Hans. The large gray fox with the sack and cutlass. Moved in near the fire and rubbed his paws together and held them near the fire to feel the nice warmth.
"Good work team. Now all we have to do if wait till the rest come back and report the lay of the land."
Salvador. The monitor with the huge war axe. Replied.
"Than what zhall we do? We can't ztay here for long. Theze are mossflower woodz. It containz beaztz that are allyz of the Long Patrol. If we do ztay. We will be killed."
The Fox looked the lizard right in the eyes.
"You are right friend. The Long Patrol will be in these woods looking for us one the next sunrise. But judging by maps i had read of these woods. There is a large lake south-east from here. If we go there in a fast pace and manage to go all the way around it and onward to the east. We might escape thy enemy. Hopefully by the time they find out what direction we went to. We will be long gone from these woods."
The searat. Hookclaw sat down with his fellow rat next to the fire and said. "But wat are we gonna do there? Tat's not only insane. But tis not gonna work maybe. I say we heads Northward and near te sea! We find Richard's warships and tak' a sail outa this place!"
Hans looked Hookclaws in the eyes and said "The only downside is that the enemy is there! Chasing Phalanx and whatever forces left to the ships! Not to mention that either two things have happened by now. 1. Long Patrol had captured the ships. Or 2! The young wildcat had gotten his forces on and had already set sail out of here! "
Hookclaws sighed and pulled out his large cutlass and looked the jagged blade over. "So we ares stuck here?"
The Pine Martin. William. Spoke out. "Yes Hookclaws. We are stuck in these woods till we are either found or we manage to find that lake without the maps." He drew a broadsword and cut a bit of the roasting bird off and started to eat it.
While they went on chatting. The rest of the group came back to tell them about the area around them. They had seen a red walled abbey nearby. This only made the fox even more worried. They were right near the foe's allys! They were gonna leave the second the next sunrise shows! The last thing Hans needed was to be attacked in broad daylight with both Long Patrol and a bunch of Abbey creatures and whatever creatures live in these woods.

The young cat had heard every word and raised himself up wearily. Richard? Who's Richard? He'd heard the name somewhere before from a group of Long Patrol hares, but they'd never told him who he was. Besides, he figured it was about time he announced his presence.

The Fox, Monitors, Weasels, Ferrets, Pine Martin, and Searats all stopped talking right there and turned their eyes to the cat that was stumbling into view right near them! Did he just hear EVERYTHING they had said!? The Fox leaned over to Salvador and whispered near his head. "Think you can catch him?"
The monitor nodded and the fox jumped right up and said in a gentleman-like manner. "Well look here! A cat over yonder! Come join us cat! We got a warm fire, Some nice roasted bird! Nice and tasty! Oh! You look sleepy! Well. A cat does need about 20 hours of sleep a day! Don't ye know? Come! We mean ye no harm!" The fox wondered if this little act will work and attract the eavesdropping feline over to where they are. He feared rushing the cat because he feared the cat will scream out. Attracting any other unwanted attention.

The cat shook himself to regain his senses and forced himself to walk wearily over to them. Sorry about dropping in like that. I was just looking for a place to rest. I haven't been able to eat or sleep for the last three days.

"Oh my Granny Fox's Bushy Broom Tail....." Hans thought as he watched the cat stumble over to their camp. Is he even LOOKING AT THEM!? He is a savage-looking Fox with about 5 monitors that look even more savage then him and two searats and to top it all off! hey were all ARMED! What kind of guts did this cat have!? What in Hellgates possessed this cat to walk right over to their camp without even thinking what would happen to him if he did!?
But even though the fox thought this had to be the most stupidest thing he ever saw in his lifetime. He was kinda impressed. Often creatures like this are the types that are expert fighters or are just so intoxicated that they don't even notice what dangers lie ahead of them. This cat was young and didn't look like either one of those. He was a tired cat that wanted a place to nap. And it's apparent he didn't care WHERE he slept.
And with that Hans sat back down and whispered to the monitor to let the cat come over and sleep or eat. Whichever. He did not want to try to take this cat yet. The fox was more interested in seeing what this young cat might do next. The Fox reached down to his dirk and cut off a leg from a cooked bird and handed it over to the cat.
"Here cat. Take it. You look hungry."
The others looked at the cat. Wondering what he would do next. They were even a little jumpy and tense. They have not a clue what would happen. Would the cat take it? or realize who they were and go running to the nearest Long Patrol on patrol or the Redwall Abbey. Screaming his head off.

He accepted the bird leg gratefully and began eating. Thanks. I appreciate it. My name's Toboe. What's yours? As he started to recover slightly, he looked around him, noticing for the first time the army of creatures that practically surrounded him.

"The Names Hans. Hans Vermeer." The Fox said. The sixteen beasts that surrounded the cat began to calm down and start eating themselves. They started to exept the Cat. Even no longer seeing him as a threat for now. Though some kept their weapons close incase the cat suddenly made a mad dash for Long Patrol or Redwall Abbey.

Toboe smiled and kept eating. Inwardly, he wondered what an army of creatures like these were doing in Mossflower. He wasn't quite sure what to do, but he decided to just wait and see what they did before doing anything. They seemed nice enough.

The searats where drinking and talking to each other along with four weasels and the two ferrets. The other ferret, two weasels and Pine Martin where talking to each other and eating too. The Monitors were of course. Eating and taking o each other. All but Salvador. Who was talking with the Cat and Hans.
"Zo where did you come from cat?" The Monitor asked.

Toboe stared up at the sky for a moment before answering. I was born on an island in the middle of the sea, far away from anywhere else. I lived there for three years until my parents were attacked and killed by Corsairs. After that I came here and was taken in by a nice rat who cared for me. I left him four years ago and have been trying to find him ever since then, hoping I could repay him for his kindness.

The Fox Spoke. "Oh! and i forgot one thing. Are your armed?"
The Monitor kept his eyes on the cat. Compared to this young cat the monitor was a giant. More than capable of taking care of most threats easily.
The Two Searats finally fell asleep from being intoxicated by the taste of whatever drinks they had. The four weasels and two ferrets were still up but were wobbly with drunkenness. The Pine Martin had finished his meal and was Taking off his heavy chainmail shirt. After he had done so. He tested the edge of his broad sword and looked at the condition of his steel kite shield. The remaining weasels and ferret were still picking bits of the birds roasted flesh and eating it while drinking water. The monitors were still very wide awake. They mostly stood up most of the night before they finally fell asleep so it would be a long while till they do.

Toboe nodded and unsheathed his dagger, setting it on the ground in front of him to show that he meant no harm to anyone with it. I hardly ever use it. It were my father's.

The Fox chuckled. "Hehehehe....... Thats your dagger? All i got are these two." The fox pulled out a 24 inch Dirk and a Weird looking dagger with one edge being a plain sharp edge and the other........ Well...... Kinda look like the teeth of a comb.
"Ever seen blades like these friend? The Swordbreaker Dagger is one of the rarer blades you'll ever find. Not many beasts have it. Very very sturdy and strong blade. Strong enough to snap some lighter swords like Rapiers and Sabers."
