::a young mousemaid creeps up to the gates of Redwall, staring in awe at the massive structure. Not quite knowing what to do, she taps the huge wooden gate of the Abbey with her thorn-stem staff timidly, calling out:: "Uhh . . . hello? Is anyone here?"

((If it's okay with you, abbess, let's make this an IC thread that will determine which faction she ends up with. Of course, in the end it will be up to her.))

Snapper lumbers through the Woods, near the Abbey. He sees its gate, seeeing the mousemaid. He doesn't take much notice of it, since it has no value to him. However, he sees Duck Flesh walking silently towards towards Snapper to speak to him. Snapper stops his walking and turns to duck.

**Duckflesh, who has been following Snapper for half a mile, finally catches up, panting**
Sith Spawn! You move suprisingly quickly!
**suddenly, he spies the abbey and the little Mouse knocking on the door. He becons for Snapper to lean down to his level, then whispers some orders into the turtle's ear hole**

(('tis fine)) On her way to the Gatehouse carrying a platter of food for the old recorder, the Abbess hears knocking at the gate and a tiny voice calling. She puts down the tray, and opens the door "Hello dearie, my name is Abbess Adelicia, and who are you?"

Snapper listens to Duck's instructions, then merely nods. Snappers walks towards a nearby Bush, looking towards the mousemaid. The turtle leans slightly forward, then dashes forward. Within seconds Snapper is standing right behind the Mousemaid. Snapper grabs her with his gigantic hands, lifting her in the Air. He roars at the Abess there to scare her off, then runs back to Duck carrying the likely kicking and fighting mousemaid.

**As the two of them take flight into the woods, Duckflesh reaches up and takes the mouse out of Snapper's arms, knowing that even though he'll have a harder time carying her, Snapper was no doubt freaking her out. He talks to her quietly as they run**
That was close! You never knock on the door of the red castle like that... she would have run you through! You have to be more careful!

The Abbess had jumped back into the Abbey with fright and watches as the mouse is taken away "Oh no, the poor mouse! " She thinks to herself. Seeing the mouse be taken away into the forest, she closes the Abbey door and looks for other Abbey dwellers such as Revelin, Mattisa or anyone else around

::Finding herself hoisted up in the air quite out of nowhere, she is quite surprised, to say the least. Grasping onto her staff so hard her paw turns white, she looks down at her "saviours" of sorts; her voice jumps with each of Duckflesh's hurried steps:: "Hey! W~~W~~W~~ha~~a~~t's g~g~~o~~i~~i~~ing~~g~g o~~o~~n~~n h~~h~~e~~r~~r~~r~~e?" (Translation: "What's going on here?"

**They stop for breath about halfway of the way to the Vermin camp. Duckflesh whistles, and several rats with crossbows drop down from trees to cover their tracks, which is no easy task, thanks to Snapper. He sets the mouse down in front of him, gasping for breath**
Not built... for this... *gasp gasp gasp*

Snapper stops with Duck, then turns around, walking back towards the Abbey. Duck could continue from this point on, while the Crossbowers covered that point. Snapper meanwhile will have to 'slow down' the Persueers. By attacking them just as they head towards Duck.

::Seeing the swarm of armed rats fall from the trees, she instinctively braces her staff before her, ready to strike if necessary; she crouches low to the ground, but holds her ground. She is visibly frightened, but it's obvious that she's trying not to show it. She swallows hard, her eyes darting between the weasel, the turtle and the group of rats behind them:: "W . . . what's the meaning if this? W . . . Who are you? And what is this about getting run through at that . . . that big building-thing back there?"

**Still trying to regain his breath, hands on knees, he looks up at her, smiling softly**
You can go back there if you wish... but they aren't to be trusted. We can give you food and rest...
**he holds out his paw to her**
And I guarantee you can trust us...

::staring at his comparatively huge paw, keeps both of her own paws locked onto her staff, still not quite sure what to make of the situation:: "W . . who are "they"? I mean, back there," ::nodding towards the Abbey:: "Why can't they be trusted? . . . and. ::swallows:: Why . . . should I trust you?" ::gazes cautiously up at his face::

**finally regaining his breath and reminding himself to try to keep off the battlefield, he straightens up**
The Red Castle is a ghastly place. They harbor theives within their walls... I can't let such an innocent young mouse be insnarred in their treachery. You can trust me because the Horde means a lot to me, and there are many open positions that it is my duty to fill... you could lead the defense regiment... hell, you could even be our baker. We've been looking for one.
