RW Abbey: Main Gate
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You are at the main entrance into Redwall Abbey. The gates are a a massive, double-doored wooden affair, reinforced with iron, and with a heavy latch and crossbar on the inside to prevent would-be invaders. While the gates almost always stand open, you get the impression that the builder of this portal designed it to be nigh impregnable. The entrance arch is amazingly thick, denoting the strength and thickness of the ancient walls themselves, which, despite the upheavals of the past, and numerous cracks present in the rose colored stone, still stand tall and strong. Uncountable pawprints can be seen in the dirt, leading both in and out of the Abbey. Along the bottom of the wall on either side of the arch, weeds and wildflowers can be seen in plenty.

It is dark, though torches have been lit on either side of the gate to light your way inside. Things are quiet apart from the occasional buzz of night insects. The walls are a darker shadow against the sky.

Exits: [Enter] the abbey, [R]ight Along [W]all, [L]eft Along [W]all, [R]oad
With:
[IC] Brother (Josiah)
[IC] Connor
[IC] Jarsune
[IC] Solopsism of the most painful kind. (Cassite)
** THIS ROOM IS BROADCASTING **

Jarsune's head snaps to one side as the elbow connects (fortunately with the cheek that's not still trying to recover from a stitched injury). She starts to stumble, but catches her balance almost immediately and spins around. The jill wastes no time trying to catch her breath--again she drops her shoulder, apparently to try for a repeat on Cassite's front. This is a feint, however, as she twists away from impact and sweeps her leg once more toward the back of his calves.

Paw to paw combat has never exactly been Cassite's method of choice. It becomes clear that he has apparently been spending his time alone doing more than just aimlessly sulking when he's so fast to recover his footing after the sweep connects. He immediately is right back on her, aiming a backhanded swipe to her face followed by an attempt to seize her headfur and bring her head down to his knee.

Connor runs through the entry to the main gates and stops as he watches Jarsune get hit. His jaw open in disbelief then rushes to Jarsune to put himself in front of her to take any blows then wrap his arms around her to attempt to pull her out of the way, swinging his body weight into it.

Jarsune tries to duck the swipe, but this is only moderately successful, as she still takes a majority of the blow along her forehead. Her headfur is grasped, but she grabs for Cassite's headfur as well as she's dragged down, and her other paw lashes at his muzzle, claws extended. Poor Connor hasn't much chance to get between them--they're well and truly locked in a grapple, and as she's already going down his weight only adds to it.

Xaris walks through the gates.
Xaris has arrived.

Josiah arrives, albeit a bit delayed because he went to get his staff on his way here. Upon seeing the fray (and Connor running into it), he quickly runs in their direction. "Stop!" he shouts. "Stop /this instant/!"

Coheed walks through the gates.
Coheed has arrived.

Dosu walks through the gates.
Dosu has arrived.

Augustus struggles to keep up, his sandals flopping and flipping around. They aren't, after all, meant for running. The cook pulls to a stop and bends over slightly, his mouth parting to gulp down the air greedily. His eyes dart between the two and he pulls himself up as Josiah speaks. "Please! You must..." The mouse falls into another fit of breathing. "Jarsune! Cassite!"

Xaris comes outside of the abbey with a faster ppace than he is usually saundering around with. Curiosity piqued, the squirrel watches the happenings.

Connor grips a fist full of Cassite's arm fur and Jarsune's arm and tries to pull them apart. "Stoppit! Don't get hurt!" he growls in his little mouse tone.

Jarsune snarls, "Get off of me! Leave me alone! We're outside the Abbey."

Xaris remembers this loophole from his earlier seasons on the road.

Dosu arrives a few moments later than his comrads as he had gone to retreive his weaponry from the gate house. The massive sword he is so well known by is now at its proper place on his back as he slowly walks up to Xaris and Coheed.

Okay, those claws hurt. Cassite takes a shallow scrape with them as he's brought down along with her, both on their sides. He seizes her shoulder with one paw while the other lashes out toward her face - the area that would cause the most damage in as short a time as possible, considering their newfound audience. His blunt claws squeeze under her cheek, causing pressure and pain to the already wounded area before raking his blunt claws over the stitches.

Dosu slowly walks up to Xaris' side. "... What is the meaning of this little scrap...?"
Connor growls and lets go of Jarsune to punch at Cassite's eye. "Stop hurting her!" he growls then starts to claw with his little claws at Cassite's face.

Xaris shrugs keeping his eyes on the battle. "I don't know. There doesn't seem to be much room for talking though, does there?" At this statement his voice takes on a tone of mild sarcasm.

OW. Cassite's efforts are enough to pop those stitches loose, and the result is ugly--the wound isn't just deep, it goes straight through her cheek. Something wild seems to enter Jarsune's eyes--and suddenly there's no more calculated feints, no more measured blows--she's a mass of flailing limbs, raking claws, and flashing teeth. No punches pulled here, not in the slightest. She seems utterly unaware of the pain the grip on her headfur is causing.

Xaris steps back a pace.

Dosu lets out a light sigh. "....I'll follow your lead.."

Josiah is right by Connor now, also moving to get the two apart, particularly by prying their arms off each other with his staff. As Jarsune suddenly goes nuts, he moves to shove the marten away from Cassite using his staff mainly. "/STOP!/"

Coheed claps his paws together delights with the scene unfolding. "Nothing like a good roughing to get you rhead clear and test your limits, only iwish these organ harvesting folk wouldn't let them finsih up, to think, they would have some free, fresh-meat on their paws, bizarre faction I must say..."

Augustus scrambles around the squirrel and attempts to tugs the beast away. "Come now, Cassite! This has gone far enough!" The mouse hollers in a much louder voice than normal for the cook. "Both of you!"

Xaris looks to Dosu, "Should we help?" His eyes seem uninterested.

Dosu's drooped shoulder raise and fall in a slight shrug. "... Up to you... But we may end up making it worse...."

Cassite doesn't seem to be listening to any attempts to dissuade him. As he takes numerous scratches and scrapes, he in turn flurrys on Jarsune's face, releasing what seems to be a boatload of pent up rage. c.c

Xaris then nods, and looks to Coheed. "I agree, weird faction indeed, if they harvest organs."

Jarsune makes a noise somewhere between a hiss and a snarl. She's oblivious, to put it mildly. Oblivious, and completely, utterly insane, if one is to judge by the speed and number of her return attacks on the squirrel. No, dissuasion isn't working here either.
Josiah's staff gets a good claw-raking as it pushes between them.

Connor stays on Cassite, a paw gripping a hold of his clothing as he keeps punching at Cassite's face. The mouse snarls, but fatigue is setting in and his punches are getting weaker and weaker as he pants harder.

Coheed clenches his right paw into a fist while using his left to scratch above his eye. He watches intently, waiting for a defeat, "Yes, but all beasts these days seem to be quite wrong in the head..."

Xaris pipes up, "Might I suggest towels over the heads?"

Josiah gets behind and reaches to put his arms under and then around Jarsune's shoulders, in an effort to not only pull her away from Cassite, but also to hinder Jarsune's use of her arms. "I said /stop/!!"

Augustus ducks a few flying limbs and tries to lock his arms around the squirrel's tail, giving it a huge yank back. "Cassite! I really must insist..." The little mouse shouts, his eyes squinting shut. "Stop! Yes! At /once/!" Gus repeats after Josiah.

Xaris shrugs as the beasts ignor his suggestion. "Come now."
Dosu says nothing as he slowly reaches up to grasp the long skinny handle of his monsterous sword which rests on his back.
Xaris continues, "I'm warning you, Dosu would be happy to cut you into pieces. Now STOP THIS NEEDLESS FIGHTING." His last few words are very loud and unwavering, though his eyes remain half closed.

And in a flash, the marten Dosu slings the massive sword up over his should, sending the sword deep onto the ground infront of him with a "BAM".

The lapse in combat that is brought about by Jarsune's arms being pinned back and Cassite being yanked off of her by his tail stuns the squirrel for a moment. His ears are pricked up, and he's bruised and bleeding from several scratches, breathing heavily. After he regains his senses, however, Cassite registers the sharp pain in the base of his tail and abandons Jarsune. He flings himself on Augustus, clawing and punching. "Don't you lay a finger on me, you cowardly bastard! Don't you touch me! I'll kill you! I'll KILL you! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU!"

Atma walks through the gates.
Atma has arrived.

Connor's fist starts to hurt, so he steps away from Cassite. Still panting hard, he looks at Cassite and shakes his head then looks back at Jarsune, then down at his fist. Oops..two of his knuckles busted.

Xaris raises his eyebrows at the Squirrels rage.
Dosu room-pages, "read my desc and u'd understand. the handle of the sword runs up past my head to the right.".

Jarsune flails wildly, but Josiah's efforts are quite successful. Her arms are pinned, leaving her only her legs, which aren't working properly either. This, plus the rapidly leaking wound on her cheek serves to stifle her struggles quite a bit.

Coheed smiles wildly showing his fangs. "Ha! What a lovely little scrap, too bad it didnnt last" he suddenly stops, and ducks down a bit putting one paw on his head and pointing with the other "Woah! look at him go at the one!"

Josiah watches in horror as Cassite's rage turns on Augustus. "No! Leave him alone!!" he screams.

Xaris pulls out a dart, and twirls it deftly. "I can end this temporarily."
Xaris doesn't waot any longer after these words and launches a dart at Cassites neck.

Augustus barely has time to grasp before the squirrel is on him. The mouse covers his face with his paws, leaving everything else go undefended. Thus, most of the punches meet their mark, though Augy struggles and wiggles enough to miss some. "Please! Cassite! I... help!" The mouse yells, his voice breaking out in a terrified squeak. He kicks at the ground, trying to scoot out from under the angry beast.

Jarsune shifts her shoulders forward, and then jabs a sharp elbow backwards, aiming at the area beneath Josiah's ribs. At the same time, she pushes off fiercely against the ground, trying to break free.

"STOP THIS -IMMEDIATELY-" Comes an amazingly powerful voice from the gatehouse. This twelve-foot tall voice's derives merely from the narrow form of Atma, however, as he comes storming out of the gatehouse, eye-twitch and all.

Coheed starts to elbow Xaris from the side, hopping with excitement, "look at em go man! Haven't see anything like this in a while!"

Connor looks on the ground at where Josiah dropped his staff. The mouse picks it up then swings it like a baseball bat at Cassite's back, yelling at he runs with it to hit in the middle of the staff to Cassite's back.

Xaris smiles briefly at his friend, then hears the booming voice of Atma. The squirrel doesn't turn to look but rath draws another dart, ready to throw it at Jarsune.

Josiah uffs as the wind's knocked out of him. He struggles to breathe, but his grip doesn't loosen but actually tightens around Jarsune's arms.

Coheed laughs out loud a few short "ha ha's!" while shaking his head, "That ligght bugger got em right in the back! I bet he's starting to feel a little pain now!"

Cassite's rage has risen well above being able to be stopped by words alone. Augustus, unfortunately, is taking the brunt of it as he furiously pummels the mouse beneath of him, "It's your fault, you snivelling little weasel! If you hadn't come here, she'd still be alive! If you hadn't been so useless, you could have helped her! I HATE YOU! I /HATE/ YOU!!!" He shrieks, fists swinging so wildly that he's occasionally missing even though the mouse is absolutely prone. The staff whacking against his back is enough to pacify him briefly - mostly due to the fact that the impact emptys his lungs. He nevertheless continues to scrape and claw at Augustus, quite intent on doing as much damage as he possibly can.

Jarsune's attention is broken, first by Atma's voice, then by the closer Xaris. She snarls, teeth fully bared, at the latter, even though her arms are still firmly held by the mouse healer. "If you even think of throwing that at me I'll KILL you, you tyshat beala uv dnycr! I remember you! --Josiah, let GO!"

Dosu grits his teath as he heaves the massive peice of steel up from the ground before looking over his shoulder back at Xaris. "...Come now, Xaris... If you don't finish this, I will...."

Atma fully steps out of the gatehouse, holding....a broom. He grinds his teeth, and flattens his ears, his fur puffed out. "Cassite!" He snarls. "Jarsune! GET OVER HERE, -NOW-.

Xaris smiles at Jarsune, but it isn't a happy one. It is more so from the amusement he takes in knowing his death could be impending. "Yes, I remember you as well." He puts the dart away, and draws another from the back part of his belt, where the poisoned ones lay. A strong sedative coated the spongy wood, and would knock out a badger within a half an hour.

Coheed hops up and down with his paws together and both fists clenched, like he was warming up his muscles. "Only wish I could get my paws dirty and have a go with one of them!"


Connor rears back with the staff again then twist for a home run with Cassite's ribs. "Stop it! Stop hurting Augustus!"

Xaris speaks out of clenched teeth to Dosu. "Do what you will my friend." He never takes his concentration off of Jarsune. "I have suddenly become personally involved."

"Nnoo," rasps out Josiah, his grip only tightening more out of pain, and cringing at Atma's sudden shout. "..Leave..h-hiim alllone!" he barely manages to repeat.

Augustus trembles and peeks through his paws at the furious squirrel. The feeling of his claws raking down the side of the mouse provides a rather loud squeal of pain, and the Brother is presses further into the dirt of the path. He slams his weight down, trying to become small enough to slip under the rampaging beast. "No! It's not... please! Stop!" Augy says in a scared voice. "Cassite!" The mouse hollers right into the face of the squirrel. With his glasses long knocked off, the world fades into a blue of movement and pain.

Keiran walks through the gates.
Keiran has arrived.

Xaris' eyes remain calm, and his posture seems very lazy, although you can see his muscles tightened under the skin.

Coheed sighs shaking his head a bit. "That small one over their under the squirrel, he's almost dead"... he begins to hollar to Atma, "Hey, that little Agust fellow, doens't hhave much time left!" he also begins to walk oevr to the squirrel ravagin the small mouse

Jarsune draws herself up to full height--there are things to be said for a predator species, especially a marten, in that they tend to be taller and heavier than woodlanders. The jill actually uses that now, as while her arms remain pinned, she jerks forward--either Josiah lets go, or Josiah comes with her. Her eyes have gone hard, though they lack the wildness of before, and the entire side of her face is soaking in blood from the broken stitches.

The large rounded curve of Dosu's massive sword drops to the ground as he release one paw, reaching up under his sash to grab hold of somthing. All the while, still hold the back end of the sword up with his other paw.

Jarsune lunges, not at Cassite, not at Xaris, but Dosu, with a savage growl. "Don't you even!"

Xaris yells "DOSU WATCH IT!" as he readies the dart for throwing, aiming at Jarsunes body.

Coheed's walk turns to a little jog making his way towards the squirrel he notices all hell is breaking loose, he kind of smirks
Feayr has arrived.

Atma deflates, rubbing his temple. "Fine." He walks over to the wild beasts -- the wilder of the two, in fact. Cassite. He promptly looks at Connor, and snarls, "Get away!". His attention is drawn to Cassite, and he reaches out his arm to grab the squirrel by the scruff of his neck, dropping the broom on the ground -- after all, he won't be needing it. His other paw goes for Cassite's tail. "Cassite, STOP it!"

Dosu grins lightly as he quickly releases the long handle of his massive sword, all the while pulling a small blade out from under his sash. "...Stop...", he grunts as he attempts to kick Jarsune in the stomach with a booted footpaw.

Xaris releases a sedative dart aimed into the fray at Jarsune, trying to help Dosu in any way possible.

Keiran had just been wandering about as he made his way outside, but the hare finds himself drawn towards the gathering out by the gates, his curiosity getting the best of him as he tries to make out what's going on, his speed, however, still impeded by his hobbling. "Wha'..."

Cassite's voice is hoarse both from screaming, but he is quite easily hauled off of Augustus, cursing loudly and interspersing curses with various threats involving evisceration of said mouse. He struggles half-heartedly against Atma, but is genuinely too out of it to offer much in the way of a struggle. He's pulling to get back to Augustus, but it's not exactly difficult to stop.

Coheed stops upon seeing Atma come into action, he almost frowns, he just nods and turns to Dosu and Xaris laughing "They seem to have there paws full, evryeon seems to be enjoying the moment except me... drat!"

Josiah can see how his position has gone futile. He drops, coughing to get his breath back. He suddenly then whirls on Dosu and Xaris. "NO! *cough* Stop this *cough* now!" he shouts, followed with a cough as he points at them both. He then quickly stumbles his way toward Augustus, About ready to simply shove Cassite out of the way if he has to, if it means getting to the fellow brother. He gets over there as fast as his winded body will allow.

Atma slides the neck-arm around Cassite's neck, and pulls the squirrel back against his chest, tucking the tail-arm underneath CAssite's armpit. "Cassite... Slow down... So I can... beat the hell out of everyone else..." He hisses, a little bit...outraged.

Connor squeaks at Atma's words then retreats back, looking over at Dosu and Jarsune. His fingers grip around the staff tightly as some blood trickles down his hand onto the staff. "STOP IT!" he yells.

Augustus lays limp against the dirt path, his eyes staring upwards in immediate shock. There is a small bit of blood pooling under his hip, and his mouth parts slightly to mumbles something or other. His habit is ripped in a good many places, but thankfully the squirrel didn't catch any life-threatening areas. His left side is completely torn and blood, where Cassite managed to get a good bit of mouse.

Jarsune doesn't even wait for Dosu to finish that single word--she's already upon him, and on the last step, she actually leaves the ground in a leap only an arboreal species would be capable of--she leaps at Dosu's chest as if she were leaping for a branch, one foot aiming to land on the arm holding the weapon, the other simply to impact with said chest, while both paws lash towards his shoulders in order to get a good grip.
The dart, thanks to this sudden action, skids right past her tail.

Redtail shows up hearing some noise and seeing the scene freezes on the spot wide-eyed... thinking 'nono nobeast die please'

Xaris draws his bolas, ready to severly incapacitate the jill marten. He begins twirling the weapon with a deadly humm, and lets it fly. Then, drawing his daggers, he runs to his friend. "Enough of this cowardly marksmanship."
Coheed waves his left paw trying to get Atma's attention "Hey there! Whats wrong? ANgry?" he almost taunts the fellow while whisetling
Xaris yells, "Get off of him!"

Atma gives Coheed a sharp reply, "Shut up or I break your legs with your friend Xaris' body."

Keiran finally reaches the fray, and furrows his brows as he surveys it, the hare watching from an outside vantage as he looks around to see if he can nail anybeast in the back of the head with his staff. Oh, look, Xaris. Trying not to draw any attention to himself, Keiran stays on the outside, squinting his eyes as Xaris starts to wind up the bolas... He bites his lower lip and takes a step backwards, placing himself behind the rat, lifting his staff, and aiming a hard blow with the end of his staff to the back of his head, right below the end of his skull, to his top vertebra.
"S'an abbey," the hare mumbles, almost inaudibly.

Josiah falls to his knees, mostly out of the fact that he's still struggling to breath; that jab from Jarsune got him pretty good. "H..hang in there, Aug," he manages to get out along with a strangled sob. Trying his best not to just lose it entirely, he starts doing what he can with what herbs and bandages and tools he as a healer carries with him, to bind up Augustus' wound.

Coheed yells even louder ," What are you saying? complete dribble, you look all red in the face or something..." he begins to rub his paws together

Dosu takes the blow to the chest and falls to the ground with Jarsune on top of him. His eyes widen slightly as he sees the bolas comming, so he quickly pulls her down. The bolas zim acrost both of their heads before he tries to kick her off.

Cassite is trembling from something rather different from anger - as he looks to Augustus, he feels a wave of regret, but moreover the very thing he's been avoiding. He ducks his head and runs back within the walls - one less thing for Atma to worry about.
Cassite walks through the gates into the abbey.
Cassite has left.

Redtail's eyes widen even more after seeing Josiah he starts to slowly move his way around the other beasts towards him...

Connor lifts his staff and points it at Xaris in tucked position to thrust like a sword held with both paws. He squints since the pain of that paw is starting to sink in, he shakes his head. "Stop it," he growls through gritted teeth.

Xaris is not caught unexpected by the blow, as he smelled the hares approach. However, upon turning to see the beast, he was laid a blow straight to the jaw, knocking him down, and flinging his weapons away.

Jarsune gives Dosu two sharp claw-extended blows to the muzzle for his trouble, though they're both saved from a rather nasty crushy sort of death from the flying bolas. She twists sharply, still keeping her footpaw on the arm holding the blade, so as to keep it pinned, even as her attention turns toward Xaris. Her teeth are still bared. "If I see ANY of you raise ANY weapon towards Abbey beasts again, I will hunt each and every single one of you down and end your stupid lives!"

Atma is thusly forcefully shoved aside by Cassite -- Atma may be bigger, but Cassite's far more fit. "I'll deal with you later, then..." He picks up the broom, and walks over near Jarsune and Dosu, sucking in a breath. "You all have three seconds to stop moving and face me before I beat every one of you into the dirt. That includes you, Jarsune."

Jarsune snaps, "He was going to kill one of them!"

Connor lowers his staff til it 'tonk's on the ground. He sighs as he starts to relax a little.

Keiran takes another step forward, placing his staff on the ground to catch himself on his bad footpaw, balancing on his good one again and raising the walking stick again, and lowering it down to Xaris's solar plexus... Another attempt to simply incapacitate the squirrel temporarily.
Atma says, "I'm about to do worse than kill you insolent wretches."

Coheed walks over to the gray marten scolding the suqabbeling creatures, he walks parralel to him, watching them bare teeth he says to Atma "Kill them? Your a little grey for that arent you?"

Dosu takes the opertunity to shoot up his unbound arm to Jarsune's neck, but dose not attempt to choke or harm her in any other way. "... Silence... And get off of me, you owe me one...."

Xaris is caught in th stomach with a loud OOMF as he tried to massage his jaw. He rolled over, groaning, and holding out a paw for Keiran to stop. "No, stop!" He coughs trying to regain some of the lost air.

Augustus turns his eyes slowly to the mouse next to him. "M'fine." He says weakly. "I do believe he... got one of my whiskers..." Augy says slowly, attempting to raise a paw to see. The paw comes up and gets a rather surprised look. "Oh my. Is that my blood, or his?" The mouse questions, turning the blood soaked paw back and forth into his vision. "Tell him... I'm sorry." Augy says and his eyes close, though his mouth opens for some air.

Redtail looks at atma having been behind him he says "brother Josiah? are...are you okay?" loud enough so he is heard and sounds quite worried

Turmal walks through the gates.
Turmal has arrived.

Jarsune's eyes flash as Dosu gets a hold on her throat--for a moment, just one, she looks as though she's about to dissolve into whatever freakish berserk fit she was in earlier, but no, she hisses, "Let. Me. Go." One paw raises, claws extended, as if to punctuate her words. "Or I'll kill you and apologize to Father later."

Connor walks over to Atma's side. "Cassite started yellin' at Jarsune and they started to fight an' I told them to not do it. But they came out here and I went and got Brother Augustus and Brother Josiah to stop them." Connor squints an eye then shakes some blood from his paw off.

Josiah is just busy tending to Augustus..though it is proving a little difficult, as he as to quite frequently wipe his eyes that have been clouding from tears. "Aug, I'm so s-sorry," he stammers, completely oblivious to the others including Atma and Redtail. When Augustus' eyes close, Josiah's go wide. "No..NO!!" He reaches with a free paw to feel for any possible indication that Aug is still alive.

Turmal comes barging in, paw at his empty scabbard, cursing the abbeybeasts that confiscated his weapon, "What's going on hea'uh?!"

"S'an abbey, sir," Keiran states, quite matter-of-factly, looking down at the squirrel and placing both footpaws and his staff on the ground, looking quite the imposing figure, what with that disapproving look. "Y'don' throw weapons a' anybeas'... Let 'lone while y'ah resident o' an abbey." At that, he walks past the squirrel, and stands just behind Josiah, looking with a carefully hidden alarm at the mouse.

Atma gives a violent eyetwitch, and steps up beside Jarsune, looking Dosu in the eyes. He stares at him much like a borderline psychopathic marten parent glares at another marten holding their child in a neck-hold. If you know what that's like.

Xaris looks rather confused. He rolls over and gets up, now fully recovered. He grabs his twin daggers and settles them into his scabbards, then looks to Dosu and Jarsune.

Coheed bends down beside Atma while he looks at Dosu, "I think the poor guy jsut needs some sleep, not a good staring..."

Dosu grins lightly, filed teeth in plane view. "... I've been a demon far to long to be killed by the likes of you....", he chuckles as he holds his paw steady at her throught, but wide as to not disturb air circulation. "....Take your warning and get off..."

Redtail moves over to josiah slowly saying "wh....whats wrong?"

Augustus groans just slightly as Josiah yells. He has a heartbeat, without a doubt, though it's rather fast at the moment. This can, more than likely, be attested to the fact he is loosing a steady amount of blood. "Mrf. Don' yell, Ame. Tryin' t'go t'sleep." The young brother mumbles in a sleepy voice.

Connor drops the staff and runs over to Josiah and Augustus. Kneeling. He puts a paw on Josiah's arm as he looks at Augustus. "You can't sleep now, Augustus! Wake up," he says worriedly as he bites his lower lip.

Jarsune whispers, "Then go where demons go, Rakshasa." She brings the raised paw down at Dosu's eyes, while her other paw reaches up and wrenches sharply at his wrist, trying to twist it back at an unnatural angle.

Keiran closes his eyes and dips his head to the ground as he hears Augustus groan and mumble, any sign of life relieving the hare. "I'll go pr'pare a cot." Funny enough, he doesn't even seem affected by the fight that's still going on-- He simply ambles into the abbey, going towards the infirmary.

Xaris yells to Dosu, "I suggest leaving it be, Dosu." He looks around for his bolas, and picks the limp weapon offf the ground.

Turmal eyes the martens eagerly, "I knew it! Everbeast doubted my suspicions of the vuhmin, but I knew I woz right about you all..." He folds his paws in his arms, smiling, turning to Xaris, "I say let 'em duke it out between 'em, but who is responsible foh Augustus?"

Redtail sees augy and his eyes take on a crazed glazed look "nono don't die... don't die..."

Dosu quickly turns his head to the side as he release his grasp from her throught to her wrist, holding it just above his face as he swings up his elbow towards her own face. ".... Stop...", he mutters.

Xaris shrugs uninterestedly at the speaker. "I believe it was the other squirrel."

Josiah shakes his head. "Don't you die on me, Novice," he sobs, apparently not having heard the news of his advancement. "J-just stay with us, please.." He's regained his composure somewhat, now working with herbs and bandages to stop the bleeding. "He's /not/ going to die!" he says a bit angrily at Redtail as he works. Then, regretting his sudden outburst at Redtail, whispers, "I'm sorry."

Xaris rubs his face and notices that his jaw isn't in the right possition. Painfully he pops it back into place himself, with a grunt.

Jarsune also jerks her head away from Dosu's elbow--the most it contacts with is a few spatters of blood from her cheek. She gives the wrist another furious, unnatural wrench, this one sharp enough to snap bones. "I /said/, let go of me!"

The paw of Atma extends to catch Dosu's elbow, followed by a sharp kick at Dosu's knee. "Stop touching her, and get out."

Turmal huffs when he doesn't get the satisfaction of the answer he wanted to hear. He goes over to the the other mouse tending to Augustus and asks, "Hello, chap, sohrry to barge in like this, wot's going on? Wot's you'uh name?"

Coheed moves upon seeing Atma move, he attempts to pull the marten away from the pair on the groun by grabing at his left shoulder "Let em duke it out! She wants to kill him!"

Augustus takes a deep breath, his head tilting up as his body begins to relax. "Jus' leave it 'til morning..." His tired voice says into a whisper. "Need some sleep firs'... Tell 'Toni... I have the honey."

Coheed has a potentially nasty slap in the face should he continue to pester Atma.

Dosu grits his teeth before letting out a light chuckle. It seems Jarsune didnt notice all the while he raised hi right leg up. And in a flash, her brings it up over her head, and attempts to bring her back down with it around her throught.

Redtail's glazed eyes start to fill with tears as he looks at augy "you don't die... you get better..."

Josiah does as much as he can to stop Augustus' bleeding with what he has with him. Hopefully it will be enough to stop it entirely, if not at least stay it long enough until some more proper attention can be given in the Infirmary. "I'm Josiah," he says quickly to Turmal. He quickly wipes his eyes with his arm again, then asking, "Could you help me get him to the Infirmary?"

Xaris stumbles over to the two fighting martens, standing nearby, he watches with tired eyes.

Seeing as Jarsune is still sitting on top of Dosu, this maneuver isn't nearly so effective as he might have hoped. In that his leg sort've...flails, but it doesn't get anywhere near her neck. It gives her side a good jab, which provokes the jill into into her second bone-breaking wrench of the past few moments. "Let. GO."

Turmal nods emphatically, moving over to the other side of the ill-fated mouse. He keeps an eye on the martens that are fighting amongst themselves, "Pleasure to meet you, even undah these pitiful circumstances... Turmal. And I'd be ablidged. Ready when you ah..."

Connor rises and takes a step back as he stares at Augustus with widened eyes. Tears building up as his eyes glass over.

Xaris picks up a very small pebble and tosses it at Jarsunes head lightly.

Josiah nods quickly, and does his part to lift Augustus off the ground.

Atma kneels before Dosu, and sighs. "...Listen. If you don't relax, and stop struggling, I'm going to gouge out your eyes. That is your only warning, and I won't hesitate if you continue to resist." He looks up. "Jarsune, he's now going to let go, don't hurt him or very nasty things will happen. To you."

Only one of Augy's ears flap as the noise erupts around him. "I really didn't mean to. I feel awful." He says, oddly enough, to Josiah and finally blacks out from the numerous hits to the head.

Atma looks at Xaris. "You, on your knees." Then at Coheed. "You too, stop moving and get down."

Redtail starts to head towards the great hall saying "nonono nomore die can't bear to see anymore die..."

Xaris says, "I'm trying to help."

Dosu gives a light sigh as he releases his grip around Jarsune's wrist. "... I would have gladly died here today... But I have a previous obligation to my squirrel friend over there.... So get off of me...."

Atma says, "I didn't say, 'Sit there and argue with me', I said, 'Get on your knees'."

Xaris shrugs, and sits down.

Coheed shakes his head at the marten, "I don't kneel to such commands", he crosses one arm while looking at his claw tips, breathing on them and then rubbing them on his chest. "I am just fine standing"

Turmal takes both legs and his respective side and lifts. The mouse is not so heavy for Turmal, and he's hefted easily. "Wot's... um, to become of ou'uh dea'uh friend? I'm sure I met him befoh upsta'uhs... Dreadful situation now... Is the attackah anywhea'uh around?"

Xaris then chuckles. "These commands are so hard to follow."

Jarsune bares her teeth at Dosu, but she relaxes very slightly as he releases her, and even more slightly, she starts to ease off of his chest, though this last is clearly reluctant. "They were going to kill Cassite, father."

Redtail leaves the area

Xaris shakes his head at Jarsune.

Jarsune snaps, "You told him to go ahead with what he wanted to do. And he pulled a blade."

Redtail walks through the gates into the abbey.
Redtail has left...

Xaris looks at the ground, "This happened before."

Atma says, "Okay, then put on your pajamas, and go to bed. If you don't want to act like an adult, you get treated like the children." He looks up at Jarsune, and stands up. "Everybody put your weapons in the gatehouse, and come into the great hall. Jarsune, you're bleeding, stop by the infirmary first. I want to see YOU TWO." He points to Dosu and Xaris. "In the Great Hall. Move."

Josiah shakes his head. "Don't worry about that right now, let's just get Aug up there, quick now." He starts to head for the Open Grounds to go to the Infirmary from there, carrying his share of Augustus, of course.

Connor quickly steps out of Jarsune's way then trots off behind her.
