I am going to quest to the legendary Fernseed Wood, where I was born. It is said that whoever could get there successfully would gain knowledge, and be rewarded for courage and bravery, for the route is treacherous. I need other brave souls to accompany me, because it is not pretty when I talk to myself (lol). I would like to warn you that we shall be going by land, as it is east of Redwall Abbey. I can take care of providing packs for everybbeast, because I need to test my cooking skills.**Grinz wickedly**

It would have been enough to feed the Blue Hordes for a day (At least, before Lord Brocktree destroyed them) Scones, shrewbread, dried fish, apples, breads, cheeses, a jar of honey, a jar of jam, and many spices.** You think this will jolly well be enough?**Her bright smile turns into a frown, then pops back on.** Well, all the more for us!

>**Looks into the first haversack Pansy brought and draws out a 'seedcake'. Hefting it in her paws she throws it up and down a couple of times before quickly flicking it towards an oak tree, barely missing Honeysuckle's ears. As the 'seedcake' cuts through the leaves and buries itself in the tree's bark she puts walks up to the hare, a paw to her mouth and you aren't sure if she's hiding a giggle or she's really sorry** Oops, you nearly lost an ear and we're not even gone yet. **Nods towards the 'seedcake' and smiles** But they make nice weapons don't they? **Trots off towards the tree and tugs the 'seedcake' out. Turning it over and over in her paws her smile widens and she holds it up.** Look not even a scratch what did you put in these Pansy?

I will be the bally leadah, but we shall also need a cook (You know, to make soups and such, warm the oatfarls, ect.) A healer (or two) Several warriors (like me(lol)) and a scout.. Once we decide who is what, we get going to find Fernseed!

**Pouts sadly and tucks the seedcake back into her bag when Honeysuckle catches her out.** I didn't mean to go that close honest, well..... **Grins cheekily, dodging the flaying paw. Turns to Pansy and bows slightly the grin still on her face as she watches Honeysuckle out of the corner of her eye** Scout at your service ma'am, and a good shot with the old seedcake too. I'm not a good healer, perfectly rotten actually and I could probably cook as well as a searat. **A trilling laugh escapes her lips** So I don't think you would want anything I cook.

**Smiles brightly** Well, we have a scout! Yaaaaay for 'Nnean! Unfortunately, heheh, you will have to endure my cooking!**Evil laugh rings about the forest(Just kiddin. My cooking is pretty good, but I LOVE hotroot!)** And we have a new member for the bally old quest! Woohoo! We have enough healers, as we will deffinately need them, so let us head off! We could use more warriors, but I guess that we shall by fine. Now, here is my only map, in riddle form:

Follow the path into the trees, east of a redstone giant;
Go ye opposite from the seas, where air doth ring of tyrant!
Plenty of troubles you shall face, but no corsiar vermin encounter;
Know ye are on the right path, thanks to 5 days a-mounter,
Then find ye with a boat, for river may you take,
To Fernseed may you make!
Battle may ye do,
Many Vermin face,
None but bravest,
Can survive and make this place!
Follow river till water runs fowl,
Follow river where vermin do scoul.
There battle you shall,
Stick close to your buddy,
Stick close to your pal.
Your life hangs upon woven vine,
You then may come to place of Nine.
Honor, glory, even fame,
All Surround your brave name.
Fernseed Wood.
(Ooc:I did my best for this poem... But a couple parts I don't understand myself! We do not have to completely stick by it, just so you know.)Bic:**Hauls one of the packs uponm her shoulder** Well, let us go 'East of the Redstone giant, that has to be Redwall Abbey! A-questing we shall go!

**Picks up the pack of food Pansy had provided and walks at a quick pace beside her. Stopping next too a bush she dives in and leaves fly everywhere as she sings the words to the riddle** Follow the path in the trees, east of a red.... Ah here we go **More leaves fly everywhere and her face peers out through the leaves, all smiles. As she fights her way out of the branches a long wooden pole, worn smooth from use comes out behind her. Notches are carved into the sides and her paws fit easily into them. Twirling it expertly above her head she laughs at Pansy, Honeysuckle, Fleets and Blaze before coming to a stop, further down the track** Can't go without this now can I, race you all to the fork (in the path). **Hooks the pole into her pack and sets off at a break neck pace hoping to get a big enough head start to beat the hares.**

**Pulling up alongside Pansy 'Nnean sighs as the others race off ahead but turns to her friend and grins** Can't let you be last all by yourself now can I? **Pulls her pole back down and uses it as a walking stick, tracing patterns in the ground.** Looks like a snake see, and unless someone really had a death wish they're not going too follow us. **Glances back and sighs** Still I wish Honjo and Dem were coming with us, would have made it fun listening to Honjo go on about scoff **Giggles slightly**

**Her grin fades when she realises its the time to be serious and hurries up alongside Blaze, her pole swinging easily along next too her** Has any of us worked out any of the riddle apart from the first part yet? **Glances around at them all, surprised to see Tarkers back again but smiles at both him and Rosie** Did you hear the riddle come to think of it you two, or does ole Pansy need to repeat it?

We shall face plenty of troubles, but no vermin. In 5 days journeying, we'll know if we're on the right path. Then, if we ARE on the right path, we should find a boat to sail on the river. We'll hafta fight some bally vermin chappies, and then we follow the water until it runs a-foul. We have to fight vermin again, and we should stick together. *Frowns* this next part isn't too clear.

Your life hangs upon woven vine,
You then may come to place of Nine.
Honor, glory, even fame,
All Surround your brave name.
Fernseed Wood.

*shrugs* that's as best I can interpret it wot wot!

Hmm I wonder what other troubles there could be then, at least we won't be seeing any vermin for a while though. **Frowns as well as she thinks about the rest of the riddle, saying it over and over again underneath her breath** Do you think we should wait awhile before we bother about that bit? I mean we'll know what it is when we get there and all. **Absently tosses the rock-like cake she nearly swipped Fleet's ears off with as she continues on, climbing over logs and ducking under branches** OOC: I'm going through the woods instead of following a path, if we did that all the way it wouldn't be interesting enough **Grins**
