*All of the weaker redwallers and the otters have made their way out of the tunnel. They hop out of the hole. And old greying mouse takes off her shawl and sets it under a tree.
"The injured can lay here"
The moles set down the badger and the others on the shawl. A couple dibbuns bring some water in cupped leaves for the wounded to drink. Soon all of the redwallers have hydrated themselves and are resting on the side of the river.
"I wish there was some way we can help" pipes up one of the weaker mousemaids"
Just then, an otter, curious as to why such a group was laying about his waters, came up and greeted them
*Ahoy! how are you all doing?" "Not so good" whined a dibbun " What be troublin all of you?"
The redwallers filled in the otter of the invasion
"Well! I'll get my clan over there as soon as possible!"
The redwallers, relieved, began to collect stones for the otters to use.
The otter came back with 9 others and added the pebbles to their inventory.
"Well, we're off! g'day to all of you!"

*Nanalie trudges into the abbey, through the desolate tunnel and out into the bright sunshine bathing the resting redwallers*
Hi everybody. The vermin have retreated for now. We need your help in preparations and repairs. Please, follow me
*The redwallers pack up whatever belongings they brought and solemnly follow Nanalie through the hole and into the abbey.*

(Just a side note about this post, it was done between Duckflesh and me on an IM)
*Taln, after grabbing a bite to eat, walked into the forest for a walk, and to get a feel for the surroundings.*
**Grunting softly, Duckflesh wakes up and pushes the tail of a sleeping monitor of of himself. Grumbling softly, he grabs a cup and heads out of the tent, walking into the forest towards the stream**
*Taln reaches the stream first and wades in, feeling the cool water wash around his legs and rudder.
**duckflesh bends forward to dip his cup in the water. He slips on a patch of mud, almost going head first into the water, but manages to stop himself by grabbing hold of a branch** Damn mud...
*Taln hears something upstream and wades toward the sound.* Hello? Someone there?
*his eyes widden and his paw darts to his sword belt- which isn't there. Cursing, too worked up now to even wonder what the hell happened to it, He ducks down behind a rock and pulls his dagger out of his boot*
*Taln peers around the corner and grins* "Easy there, mate" *He steps out so that Duckflesh could see him*
*Duckflesh stands and takes a step back* I don't think I know you, MATE, but your'e awfully close to the camp, don't you think?
Not really. Too close is when I'm standing in front of the army tied up and about to be shot.
That can be arranged.
*He wades up to Duck, retrives the cup that he dropped, and throws it back up to him.*
Duck Flesh: *half catches it, half drops it, catches it with the other hand, drops it again, finally catches hold of it*
M'name's Taln. And ye are...
Uhm... Duckflesh, I guess...**he side steps around so that his back isn't to the stream**
I guess we're enemies, eh?
*shrugs* maybe. the camp doesn't judge by race.
Just out of curiosity...Why attack Redwall?
*he glares at the otter* Because I felt like it.
*Taln brushes past duck and towards the camp*
*he glances after him* what are your intentions, otter?
*He looks back and smiles...* I feel like it. *...then keeps walking.*
**a voice hisses to duckflesh softly from a tree** Want I should shoot him in the back? Uhm... no, not yet.
*Taln slips behind a tree and disappears, popping up right next to Duckflesh* Good thing you didn’t.
*duckflesh rubs his brow and sighs* God, it's too early for this!
Now, if you don't mind, I'll be off.
Certainly. You're free to go.
*Taln smiles and bows, then walks away towards Redwall.
**duckflesh rolls his eyes, sighs, and walks back towards the camp. On his way, he raps on a tree, prompting the rat in the branches to fire a full sized arrow right at Taln's neck**
*Taln flipped his hood up, wrapping himself in his cloak.*
*the rat frowns, then shrugs and continues on his rounds around the camp. Duckflesh reaches the camp grounds and looks around for some food**
*Taln gives a piercing whistle, then heads back to Redwall.*
