| *Swift stops and looks at his wound, then longingly at the exit.* Bloody... Okay. Rudd, you lead those going on the attacks... I think I'll spearhead the defense here a bit... Keep around some o' these sturdy chaps and knock in this entrance and guard for a bit... You chaps continue on. Let ole Swifty figger a way to fix this. *He scratches his chin as he stops a few otters and converses with them.* OOC: Please no one volunteer to stay behind... I'm having Swift stay behind for a reason. Just assume that all goes well while the crew is away. (NT) | Swift | 16:13:56 11/21/03 Fri |
|
| *Mickle grins as he looks from Swift to Rudd.* Well, I suppose that I'll be loosely interpreting your orders for now, umm...highly-ranked type Rudd! | Mickle | 16:57:53 11/21/03 Fri |
|
| Quite right, quite right, haven't got a bloody clue whats the matter, but that'll have ter' wait.... **adjusts his haversack and mops his brow with a raggedy looking peice of cloth** better get a new one o' these soon... | Talno Moonwhisp | 20:54:25 11/21/03 Fri |
|
| *Mickle grins at Rudd and looks down at his sword.* hmm...this is a lil bit too unique...best leave it here for now...*he removes his katana, exchanging it for a more common sword.* Now, if I'm spotted, I'll be better prepared to bluff...*throws a quick salute to his friends and slips out the entrance, soon disappearing into the brush.* | Mickle | 10:51:06 11/22/03 Sat |
|
| *Thistle, right now, is a bit lost* I coulda sworn that there was a secret group that was going out and about and wasn't sniping. Pray tell, where are they? *says she to a random otter* (NT) | Thistle the Lost | 12:07:33 11/22/03 Sat |
|
| *The random otter says.* It appears to me that there's still two groups. You, are the sneaky one. Follow after that ferrety type with the others. Those of us who're sniping are going to hide in trees'n'whatnot and snipe away. (NT) | Random Otter | 14:05:21 11/22/03 Sat |
|
| Well, since I wasn't 'ere when they decided who should go in which group, so I think I'll go with all the sniper chaps. For everyone used ter' say I could hit a pea off a pin a mile away, which is o' course a complete lie... **paces around muttering to himself** | Talno | 14:41:31 11/22/03 Sat |
|
| OOC- Posting maniacs! Thursday, I eat dinner with my teacher. Friday, I spend all night practicing for All County Band tryouts. This morning, I'm gone trying out and making a fool of myself, coming back to a whole load of posts! Geez... BIC: **Just... goes about her own confuzedly Pearly way... wherever that is....** (NT) | Pearl | 14:57:36 11/22/03 Sat |
|
| *The crew waits impatiently, then suddenly they hear the sounds of somebeast charging through the brush towards them. Suddenly, the running stops, and they hear sounds of a scuffle.* (Scuffle sounds) THUMP!!! (silence) | Mysterious Fight | 19:13:30 11/24/03 Mon |
|
| *Thistle looks up sharply* Did you all hear something? Drat these dish shaped ears. (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 14:14:02 11/25/03 Tue |
|
| I do beleive I did... **takes up a stick and prods around in the bushes none too softly** | Talno | 18:22:36 11/25/03 Tue |
|
| *Just past the bushes, there's quite a bit of disturbed ground. A note lies in the middle of it. Scrawled in rather nutty script is* We have ferrett! Trade!!! (NT) | Mysterious Note | 08:55:11 11/26/03 Wed |
|
| *Reed stumbles out of the bushes, his eyes quite large and paranoid like. He whirls around, his cutlass already out, and slashes at the bushes, then twitches as he whirls around to see the group.* Where've ye bloody mates been! leave meh out in these woods, ugh,*twitch* dont.like.land.woods.trees*whirls around and slashes a tree, then laughs like a manic* take that, teach ye teh talk 'hind me back again bark-skin land-lubber.. | Reed Streamlin | 08:18:26 11/27/03 Thu |

| **Raises an eyebrow at the otter that emerged from the forest and tosses the fellow a bottle o' rum** pull yer' self ta'gether | Talno | 15:02:39 11/29/03 Sat |
|
| OOC: Oh boy... Talno... Whoo... Alright. Give Reed more rum. I want to see where this goes... (NT) | Swift | 15:21:14 11/29/03 Sat |
|
| *Reed grabs the bottle as if he hadn't had a drink in ages. He takes a gulp and spits it out at a tree* Yeh 'all dis grog!? An' no'h more werds fro' you! *points at a tree, then shrugs, and swigs at the rum* eah, tis betta' then digin' in meh havercloth teh get meh grog...Shuddup!!!*Reed smashes the bottle on the tree in a manic rage* Oh, i see yer noe'h stealin' meh booze, eh? yer'll wish yeh never bloo'y diddant..*Giving a angry, disgusted, grin he starts to 'skin' the tree alive* | Reed Streamline | 11:51:18 11/30/03 Sun |
|
| **shrugs** that was me best whisky.... But, roight, roight, shall we leave then? Or spectate in the lovely sight of a crazy otter skinning a tree and wastin' me be best whisky... **mutters something about money and whicky and wasters of money and whicky, and money that bought whicky and got wasted by a waster** | Talno the best explainer that ever explained, because explainers explain, but what do they explain? | 19:44:02 11/30/03 Sun |
|
| *An odd voice echoes around the forest. Its tones range from high and low. The speaker is somehow concealed as the voice reverberates around them.* Meyeheheh! You'mba tinkin' you'm otternbeasterns'n'mousers'n'shrewbeasterns'n'beasterns'll gerttee ferretter? *A loud cackle emits from nowhere apparent.* De officern who'm'ba wroting de lettern 'bouting de tradem for ferretterernbeastern bee'm deadbeast! Dissa Warpeye be lika him muchings mit de loon crazy funns! Ferreteringbeastern not be same! Hee'm be's one changered beastern when done is Warpeye and Gholeete!!! *The cackling continues.* (NT) | Rather loony voice | 23:39:13 11/30/03 Sun |

| Agreed, fella' | Talno | 22:03:45 12/01/03 Mon |
|
| Talking to shrubbery? OOC: Get me a...SHRUBBERY! BIC: Brilliant. *snort* Sounds like something that mad hare Beletrand would do. In any case, that voice sounded rather on the far side of the sane scale. (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 18:22:26 12/02/03 Tue |
|
| *Reed stopped dead when the voice came, picking up a rock at the base of the tree, he shakes it at the shrubs* Oh, h'iiiii i see now, yer all in it together! bloody woods..bloody land!..Whoooahh!*Reed chucks the stone at a suspect bush, then begins slashng and stabing shrubs/trees/dirt/leaves/ferns and other 'woodsy' things* | Reed | 18:35:36 12/02/03 Tue |
|
| OOC: Mahahah Thistle... Bring me, ANOTHER SHRUBBERY! And put it next to this one with a little path down the middle. A PATH A PATH!!!! BIC: *A rather bizarre figure materializes from the bushes. And as his description is insanely bizarre, I need to go inside for the rest of the post. Have a peepette inside, if you all please.* | Warpeye the Insane | 00:07:54 12/03/03 Wed |
|
| OOC: Ni! Ni! Oh, and for Dickens readers--Knitting. *shudder* Tale of Two Cities...BIC: *arches eyebrow* Are you aware, sir, that your footwear doesn't match? *clutches sword tightly* And that your fashionable taste in headwear, while somewhat gruesome, is really rather fetching on such a skinny bloke as y'self. (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 16:52:23 12/03/03 Wed |

| somebody do something already! | Impatient One | 20:35:41 12/07/03 Sun |
|
| *Swift swaggers up and notices Rudd charging off into the bushes alone after Warpeye. He looks at the crew.* Fat load o' help you chaps are... Standing aroudn while our quarry escapes and your leader charges alone after him. Will you be actually going along for the quest, or shall ye all just dawdle about here slow as you please? *With that, the otter sets off at a run in his rather bizarre, drunkish manner.* (NT) | Swiftstream | 00:24:57 12/09/03 Tue |
|
| **Looks at the others for a moment, then jogs ahead, trying to catch up with Swift** I'm... comin'... I think... Though I nothin' of the area... and have not a clue what I'm doin'... I'll come! (NT) | Pearl the REO | 20:18:05 12/09/03 Tue |
|
| *darts after Swift and Pearl, humming* (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 13:57:49 12/12/03 Fri |
|
| *Swift crouches with Ruddingy in some bushes near the outskirts of the water. The two mutter to eachother.* (Rudd) Think we can take them all? (Swift) We'll... You have got yourself a holt load o' bloody huge otters... But then... He has got five ships... *The two stare out at the five overly large ships which are bristling with vermin.* (Swift) Hope the crew catches up... We've got a bit of recconnaisance to do... (NT) | Swift and Rudd | 22:52:15 12/14/03 Sun |
|
| **Pearl comes up just in time to hear Swift's last sentence, and bounces into a leisurely sitting position facing the water.** Big words are fun... but wots we gonna do about them? **Nods toward the vermin ships** (NT) | Pearl the REO | 14:27:25 12/16/03 Tue |
|
| Whaddabout "Detrimental Mutilation"? I likes that one better. But I bet Thissy has a better one yet. (NT) | Pearl | 18:29:03 12/16/03 Tue |
|
| Aye, that walkin' mouth's got massive, staggering verbal capacities that make even myself and my linguistic abilities seem superfluous... *He stares out at the ships.* Warpeye's loosin' his edge in his older age... He's got them all grouped together close... If we could launch a few bags wrapped in canvas and lit on fire, we could destroy the bejesus out of them... But then, we've our comrade Mickle t'think about too... *He squints.* Well... Looks like we're not going to get to launch the offensive. *He points to the eight small boats crossing the waters over to the shore.* They're going on the offensive... (NT) | Swiftstream | 20:04:40 12/16/03 Tue |
|
| *nods at Pearl* Aye, we shall make their now repugnant faces even more abhorrent as we bowdlerize their battery. (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 13:08:46 12/17/03 Wed |
|
| *Reed tries his hardest to stalk up to Swift and Rudd, but doesnt do that great of a job and half crouches* Harhar, yeh? *he gives a odd grin and chuckles lightly. Reed twitches and draws out his old rusty blade and pokes the tip in the ground , and leans in to get a better view* | Reed | 13:44:47 12/19/03 Fri |
|
| *Swift stands up and puts a steadying paw on Reed's shoulder. He remarks calmly.* Does anyone know if the whole crew of otters followed us? *Swift is rewarded by a familiar gurgle.* Vagashmmalalalalamagga... Killabitings.... Ngah, ngah... *Gizzzsh stands behind Swift with a large group of brawny Sea Otters. Flots strolls forward.* Sorry we're late, got a bit tired o' all th' mystery and stepped back into th' holt fer a bite o' eatin'. But we're back, so no worries. *Swift grins and looks as the boats reach the shore.* Well, shall we meet our foes right now? (NT) | Swiftstream | 23:24:56 12/19/03 Fri |
|
| *The decision is stolen from the crew as, with a collective yell, the vermin reach shore and charge, waving about all manner of nasty looking weapons.* | Verminous Crew | 14:11:35 12/21/03 Sun |
|
| *Swift pulls out his sling and loads it, twirling idly and saying calmly,* Aye aye, Commodore Prince Ruddingy Coralfluke type. Got me trusty sling right here... *He waits for the vermin to get within range, then remembers.* Ah... Thistle... You're aim is worse than a blind seagull's.... Tell you what... Why don't you do that good old sneaking in a blending like you do, eh? Give them a bit of a surprise. (NT) | Swiftstream Brooktail | 02:00:30 12/23/03 Tue |
|
| *Thistle grins and whips out her sword* Will do, oh captainy type...and I rather think my aim's better than a blind seagull's, mainly because it is not in a bird's range of motion to shoot arrows and slings and whatnot. But then, how am I to know? *darts off into the bushes, muttering about shoes and ships and sealing-wax and all a manner of things* (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 06:54:24 12/24/03 Wed |
|
| *The Vermin approach...and the leader begins to look familiar...* | Vermin | 16:03:26 12/26/03 Fri |
|
| *Swift banters back.* Now now. I may have five seasons on you... But you outrank me. Your princely status decrees that you are of higher rank. And as I'm a self-proclaimed Captain, that must make you Commodore... And that means... Oi... Don't that ferret at the front o' them vermin look a touch familiar...? (NT) | Swiftstream | 00:22:03 12/27/03 Sat |
|
| *squints* He does? He does...*blinkblink* But who is it? Looks awful familiar...the shape o' the face, the eyes...have I had tea with this beast before? (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 08:00:02 12/28/03 Sun |
|
| *One of the otters from the holt grins.* Why, he looks like that ferret that came with you, missy! What was his name again? | Random Otter | 14:14:32 12/29/03 Mon |
|
| *Swift groans.* No... He wouldn't have... No way... But then, he is insane... Right... It must be. Okay crew! *Swift calls while staring ahead.* Looks like Warpeye's done his odd hypnosis trick on our Mick. He ain't himself, well, he is, but mainly the insane, evil, killing self. Basically, all we can do against it is to fight him off until it wears off... Or kill him... But I'd really rather we didn't kill Mickle. So that's the rundown. Don't kill him. Wound if you must, but mainly keep him distanced and fatigued. (NT) | Swiftstream | 00:07:16 12/30/03 Tue |
|
| *Mickle charges forward, a highly disturbing look in his eyes. His saber is held ready as he charges at his former friends silently.* | Mickle | 21:20:13 12/30/03 Tue |
|
| *Swift calmly watches Mickle.* Right lads... That's right frightenin', that look in Mick's eyes... Any o' youse chaps wanna take Mick on? If not, I'll gladly tussle with him. (NT) | Swiftstream Brooktail | 23:44:14 12/30/03 Tue |
|
| *puts a paw to her lip* Hmm...I can keep him occupied for awhile, away from you all fighting, so you don't run into him. I think my fencing skills can hold him off for awhile. I don't know what's happened to him, but it's almost giving me the shivers. What say you, Swift? (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 15:38:11 01/01/04 Thu |
|
| *Swift looses off his pebble and nails a random vermin.* Hmm... Yeah, I think you might just be the best dueler out o' all of us, Thistle-darlin'... I'm good... But a touch slow... Yeah... Alright. Go to it, missy. I'll be watchin' ye, though... He's liable to be a touch, erm... Mad? Yeah, that works. (NT) | Swift | 11:17:58 01/02/04 Fri |
|
| *Mickle and the vermin close with the crew.* | Mickle | 16:16:48 01/02/04 Fri |
|
| *Thistle flips her thin (but sharp) blade a few times, then she waves to Mickle* Eeeyaooohoo? Mickle! I'm over here, so come and get me! Bet a big ferret like you can't beat a little mousemaid like me, huh? *scurries into a few nearby trees, away from the battle. Thistle then begins practicing a few thrusts and parries while waiting for Mickle* (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 08:52:01 01/03/04 Sat |
|
| *Mickle's eyes cut towards Thistle and glares at her. He alters his path to meet the mousemaid, then stops just short of her. He begins circling her, then launches an experimental thrust at her shoulder.* | Evil Mickle | 14:47:29 01/04/04 Sun |
|
| *Thistle blocks it easily, a small grin budding on her face. While waiting for Mickle she slit her skirt down the side and tied it around her waist for easier movement. It comes into play here, as Thistle lunges toward Mickle, sword pointing at his stomach* So tell me, read any good books lately? Or are you too busy being Evil!Mickle? (NT) | Thistle the Serious | 18:13:32 01/04/04 Sun |
|
| *Mickle parries the thrust, turning it aside and running his blade along hers, hoping to catch her paw.* | Evil Mickle | 19:22:22 01/04/04 Sun |
|
| *Thistle, knowing the trick, twists her sword out of it and slashes at Mickle's ear...knowing he'll block it, of course. She doesn't want to kill him, she just wants to keep him at bay for awhile.* (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 08:08:18 01/05/04 Mon |
|
| *Mickle ducks and lets her blade get free of his, bringing his down to slash at her belly.* | Evil Mickle | 18:51:32 01/05/04 Mon |
|
| *Swift puts away his sling and withdraws his dirk as he charges into the vermin ranks. He is repulsed quickly, and he mutters.* Shoulda known... Bloody crazed maniac's got hisself some real trained fighters... Right then, Swift me lad, no foolin'. Best t'use the sabre. *He draws his sword and goes back in, slaying a fox, but taking a nick on the face.* Argh... Another scar t'unpretty me up more... Not nice 'tall. (NT) | Swift | 23:39:54 01/08/04 Thu |

| Waaaaaaaaaaake up Mickle....purge the voodoo evil-ness from your mind...aooooum...clear your mind. Zen, zen, zen...*as she says this she, almost delicately, stabs at Mickle's leg* (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 12:10:18 01/10/04 Sat |
|
| *Mickle bats the thrust away as his eyes narrow in rage. He takes his sword up into both paws and brings it down at her shoulder.* | Mickle | 18:38:36 01/10/04 Sat |
|
| *Thistle, instead of blocking something that she hadn't strength enough to, dashes out of the way and behind Mickle. She raises her sword, pommelstone downward* Sorry I have to do this...*she mutters, then jumps up and brings the blunt pommelstone down....* (OOC: Yeah, she's wanting to bang Mickle on the head. Maybe knock some sense into him. I left it open in case you wanted to extend this for MORE time. I, frankly, am rather bored with it.) (NT) | Thistle the Odd | 06:46:39 01/11/04 Sun |
|
| *...Knocking him on the head. He sprawls out dropping the sword to the ground. The otter that recognized him a while ago quickly kicks his sword away and sits on Mickle, effectively pinning him down.* | Mickle | 14:22:14 01/13/04 Tue |
|
| *Swift stabs a rat through the stomach.* Ah good, Mick's subdued... Keep it up, mates! We... Oh... Well... *Warpeye can be seen on the shore leading more vermin into the fray. Swift grins.* Oh boy... This'll be fun. *He begins fighting through to Warpeye.* (NT) | Swiftstream | 14:00:55 01/14/04 Wed |

Keepa dissabeasterns away from Warpeye for a littletimelittletime, Gholeete me fernd! *With a wicked grin, the weasel darts off to the water and swims off.* (OOC: Sorry if the post makes no sense.
