(EDITOR'S NOTE: Okay, guys, barring some small disasters that happened in the middle as a result of some newer players taking part in this TP (most of it was edited out for coherency's sake), this was a GREAT roleplay. I'm very happy with the way it turned out, and it just shows that conflict CAN make roleplay thrive on the Redwall MUCK. I look forward to roleplaying with the Black Rose in the future!)


Quickclaw walks into the area and looks around peering at the slaves in the pens.

Nigtock walks in with gaiert and says "Hey quickclaw, i found this ere recruit down at the gull, say's he wants to join up."

Quickclaw looks over as Nigtock enters the area and nods "Hello"

Buzz wakes up, his head hurts he groans and simply just lays there.

Misty frowns.

Gaiert nods. "Quickclaw. I've never heard of you before, but it is a pleasure to meet you, I'm sure. The Black Rose looks like a finely organized establishment to which I plan on devoting much of my efforts." He holds out a paw to shake.

Lester walks to the pen area and folds his paws over his chest.

Quickclaw nods as he goes to shake his paw "Yes I am the leader, you wish to jion then..what are ya skills?"

Misty looks over at Buzz and frowns as she goes over to him.

Gaiert moves a paw up to his upper back, sliding his sword partially out of its sheath across his back, and points to it. "And, I'm an experienced slaver."

Quickclaw ahhhhs "We do need a couple..skilled slavers to help with the slaves."

Shoulder bandaged well, the camouflaged shrew waits for the first time patiently. Clutching his spear tightly, the madness crazed Cadogan wants to kill as he looks over at Belliger. And he grins.

Lester yawns as he looks at the slaves.

A stir of movement in the corner of the slave pen signals the awakening of the Log-a-Log. Lassik blinks into focus, scanning the area. Lotta vermin around today. She shifts slightly, and winces at the pain from her still unattended broken rib. The shrewmaid decides to stay quiet. No need to attract any more beatings.

Drais walks around the slave pen, observing the stirred slaves with limited interest. "Useless bunch, slaves. They're not really slaves, they're just prisoners... They haven't done a bit of slaving at all."

Quickclaw watches the slaves, he looks to Lester "Where are those herbs..we need to knock them out if moving them to the building" He grins at Drais "Oh that will change soon..have some plans to make them work"

Belliger looks over to Cadogan, meeting his grin with an equally ambitious sneer. He turns his head the other way, seeing Josh next to him, and all the other shrews seem to be in place. He motions for Josh to ready a slingstone.

Buzz is semi-conscious.

Lester nods "I can get the herbs sir..one morment" he then slips away to find said herbs.

Gaiert glances around the camp, taking everything in. He notes some stirring in the undergrowth, but there was a wind, so he disregards it.

Josh nods and goes to ready his sling. Moving quietly he pulls out a large stone placing in the sling ready to throw when signaled. His eyes move over to the slave pen for a moment watching.

Quickclaw chuckles "Make them fix up an area for a training grounds..maybe one can help cook, we need a cook so whay not a slave one"

Misty frowns "I am not cooking for vermin"

Lassik glances sideways at the ottermaid, and shakes her head slightly, hoping she'll get the idea. It's not good to attract attention, unless you're ready for pain.

Slowly and carefully, staying as quiet as possible the scout Cadogan moves to circle around the outside of the camp, using the foliage and his camouflage at its best. The shrew watches the gathering of vermin and the cage holding the slaves, eyes narrowed.

Lester returns with the herbs, he hands them to Quickclaw "Here sir..."

Drais tilts his head at Misty. "Oh? Not cooking for vermin?" He walks over to the otter slave, and laughs. "And why not?"

Lassik speaks up, as she doesn't want the young otter to get in trouble. "'Coz yer dirty slobs an' yer can't clean up after yerself."

Quickclaw takes the herbs and places them in a bowl he has, "Well..mers" he looks at Laaik "Log a log..maybe sleep will..calm you" He finds or trys to find his flint stone and hisses low.

Swifton walks in and sees all the vermin, then walks over to the vermin side and calls out "Which one of ye is the leader of the black rose"

Buzz groans, he is starting to wake up.

Misty glares at the ferret and backs up some.

Belliger sees that Josh has readied his sling, and moves his head the other way... Cad's gone... That's a good thing, that means he's ready to strike somewhere. He looks up as he hears the Log-a-Log speak up to defend the otter, and is dazed a few seconds before snapping out of it. He motions for Josh to get ready to throw, and points to the guard by the slave pen door.

Quickclaw looks at the fox as he enters "Why do ya ask?" he says calmly.

Swifton looks at the cat "Cuz i wanna join, i'm a born fighter, and very good slave tender, if ya catch my drift."

Drais rolls his head over to lock gazes with Lassik. "Again, with the honor of self-sacrifice. You must be the dumbest beast I've ever known!" He gets in the shrewmaid's face, snarling loudly.

Lester walks back over to the pens and leans agasit one "You slaves need to shut up"

Quickclaw grins "Well then..your welcome to jion I am quickclaw, leader of the black rose..whom are you.."

Gaiert frowns upon the treatment of the slaves, and note that there's another new vermin to join the Black Rose... /Hmm.../ "So, Quickclaw, what do you want me to do?"

Josh nods while crouching lower. The shrew then starts to swing slowly adding momentum to the stone as his eyes go on the guard waiting for the signal to let the stone loose.

Lassik grunts, and stands up slowly, wincing and clutching at her side in a feeble attempt to lessen the pain. "'S better t'die with honor 'n' t'live a coward!" she spits into the ferret's face.

Nualu glances around, Her nape prickling with expectation, all senses at maximum. All she had to do was wait for the cue...

Quickclaw nods to both the fox and rat "Your both welcome to jion as slavers..help watch the slaves and catch new ones"

Swifton offers paw "I'm swifton quickblade, and you are?"

Quickclaw nods and shakes his paw "Quickclaw..leader here"

Buzz looks around, he rubs his jaw and frowns, he stays quiet this time.

Gaiert looks around the camp, and, seeing as nobeast is paying him any attention, he decides to go towards a more desolate end of the camp to sit and watch.

Lester looks over at Gaiert and hmmms

Staying hidden, Cad puts his spear gently down as to try not to attract attention. Adrenaline pumping, the shrew pulls out his blowpipe and a small vial and begins to coat a dart as he waits in anticipation.

Belliger lowers his paw, a signal for Josh to drop the guard by the door. This would be a stealthy move that would not compromise the Guosim's location.

Overhead, a dark shape wheels silently and circles. It's hard to identify because of the high position of the sun, but it's obviously a bird of some sort.

Swifton looks around and sniffs, then looks at quickclaw "Somethings a stir around here, quickclaw, i can smell it in the air."

Quickclaw frowns as the rat walks away from him, he looks over at him and back to the fox.

Nualu glances up,and shivers. At first she thinks she sees a shadow, but it must of been her imagination. Nualu is terrified of birds.

Josh sees the signal and nods. He lets the stone go and it flies start for the guard who is easy target. Quickly he pulls out another stone ready to throw another if needed.

Buzz sits up better and shakes his head, uggh headache.

Drais turns to face Swifton. "Get used to it, it's like that all the time around here." Standing up from the shrew with a squint, he turns to Buzz, his new "playmate." "How are you feeling? Terrible? Good!"

Quickclaw lays a paw on his sword and looks around "Everone stay alert"

The guard slowly slumps to the ground with a bloody spot on his head.

Raising the blowgun to his muzzle after he loads it with the poisoned sleep dart, the shrew aims at Quickclaw rear quarters. Nice. Cad waits for now patiently.

Buzz blinks as the guard falls over, he jumps as the ferret yells and quickly backs further into the pen.

Swifton looks at the fallen guard "What happend to him?"

Gaiert's ears perk as he sees the guard drop. Turning his head, he cranes his neck to check him out from a distance. Hmm, either he's got help, or there's a third party involved...

Nigtock walks over to the fallen guard and looks down at him, seeing the bloody spot yells "Attack, we are being attacked, protect quickclaw!"

Quickclaw now fully draws his sword and growls low

Belliger signals for every shrew to keep low and silent, but also motions for Josh to sling his second stone at the other guard protecting the door, who is looking rather shocked at his companion's sudden death.

The scout shrew fires the silent dart at Quickclaw's rear end from the foliage. Cadogan grins, trying to stay hidden. This is what he's trained for.

Lester slips out a couple daggers and looks around qickly, he is very alert now and ready for trouble "Aye..."

Swifton draws his sword and straps his sheild to his arm preparing himself for battle

Lassik blinks and glances at the fallen guard, looking confused for a moment, then has to fight to keep a grin off her face. The Guosim... have arrived. "Looks like 'e's sleepin' on th' job!" The Log-a-Log remarks. "Not a very bright bunch, are yer?"

Drais is forced to ignore the slaves for the moment, as he draws his two dirks, twirling them to readiness as he darts his eyes around.

Nigtock finds a log and crouches behind it reading his bow and notches an arrow

The circling shape above has begun to sink noticeably lower, but still has the advantage of the sun's location, and makes no sound.

Josh nods as he already had another stone swinging. Turning slightly, the shrew lets the second stone fly towards the next guard who with a loud crack to his skull falls over dead beside his companion. Grinning, Josh pulls out another stone making ready to fire again.

Nualu feels slightly left out, the only things she's good at aren't very useful at the moment.

Belliger smiles, and points to Nigtock, signaling for Josh to fire at will. This is working quite well...

Quickclaw growls, he suddenly gets a look of surprise on his face "Something is..here" He shakes his head and falls to his knees, sleeping dart, he grips his sword "Kill what ever is attcking!" He rubs his eyes and is getting sleepy.

Nigtock looks around to see which way the stones are coming from

Gaiert's brows furrow as the second guard drops. He starts edging away from the camp, until he realizes where the slingstones have got to be coming from, and leaving suddenly isn't an option anymore. Yes, it's a third party. But he doesn't say anything. Screw the Black Rose.

Quickclaw trys to fight the effects of it and lets go of his sword and he falls onto his side

Buzz blinks as he watches and forces himself to stand

Quickclaw growls low and his eyes close, he is out..still aliv but unconious looks like

Lester looks over at Quickclaw suddenly and frowns "Oh..this not good..not good at all"

Lassik glances around the pens. There doesn't seem to be any way to distract the vermin further, but maybe if they can get the other slaves out, it can be a double blow to the Black Rose. She nods towards Buzz as he appears to be the only other slave awake. "'ello. Ready t'make an escape?"

Belliger keeps himself from laughing as he sees Quickclaw fall asleep. With a couple quick paw movements, he gestures for Josh to ready his rapier, and the rest to ready for the charge. Cad will know by the war cry.

Bursting out from the bushes, Cad heads straight for Quickclaw as he watches him fall. The shrew moves to grab the cat's blade double-pawed, screaming his head off like some crazy beast. He drops his spear during the run as well.

Buzz nods to the log a log.."Right" he whispers.

Nualu draws her rapier, grinning. Now this was where her skills were put to work.

Nigtock lets an arrow fly in the direction of the slave pen door, pinnig it shut tight preventing the door from being opened

Josh nods putting away his sling and drawing his rapier. He glances at Bell before turning back to the camp grinning.

Swifton jumps in front of the attacking shrew and slashes in a downard motion toward his right shoulder

Lassik grins, "Jus' be ready to run once they get it open." She notices Cadogan's berserk rush, and blinks. That's a sure way to get hurt, with no one to flank him.

Quickclaw lays on the ground, knocked out..a shrew jumps over him and towards the slave penns.

Belliger's eyes burst open, and he cancels all paw movements, and screams "LOGALOGALOGALOGALOG!", breaking from the undergrowth with short sword in paw. He's headed right for Swifton, who happens to be the closest vermin. Since Swifton has his back turned, Belliger moves to thrust the short sword through his kidney.

Lester slices a dagger at one of the nearest shres.."Die Shrews"

Cadogan drops to the left, Swifton's sword missing him. With the momentum still bringing him forwards, Cad goes to shove Quickclaw's sword into Swifton's belly growling, trying to skewer him.

Gaiert darts in the direction Cadogan came from, needing to get out of this mess until later... He makes his way out of the camp, and watches from the undergrowth, unknowingly less than 5 paces away from where the shrew just was.

Buzz frowns at all the fighting, he still has a headache but he can try and run when the time comes."

Josh grins and charges after Belliger. The shrew moves towards Nigtock, rapier drawn.
The circling shape apparently decides it's time for action as well. A fully-grown shrike begins a steady drop out of the sky, her dive targeting Nigtock.

Swifton while dodging cadogans thrust he also dodges belligers attack, sending their weapons towards each other

Nigtock shoots an arrow at josh.

A shrew goes to try and remove the arrow from the pen, he slashes a nearby guard,whom dies, and stays alert and carefull examining the pen again.

Nualu breaks through the brush at the same time as the birds starts to descend, she watches it out of the corner of her ee, and heads toward the vermin, taking note of the slaves' position.

Still running strong, Belliger follows up his own thrust with a quick upwards slash across Swifton's chest. Two versus one.

Drais tilts his head at the action... He sees the rat move off, and goes to follow, sheathing his dirks. Loyalty, shmoyalty.

Buzz looks at the arrow in the doorway and when no one is looking he goes to try and pry it out, he manaes to loosen it some.

Growling, Belliger's sword slices his left slide, leaving a shallow wound. Blood splatters from it. Cadogan drops to the left for a moment then races towards the cage's lock. He swings the large cat-blade as hard as he can towards it, trying to snap it open.

Quickclaw is still...unconious, he stirs slightly but isnt awake yet.

Nualu eyes drais running, and changes her course. with a slash, she whips her rapier scross drais' knees.

The descending shrike, Ruval, stretches out her talons as she comes down towards Nigtock, preparing to rake the sharp claws across the stoat's head.

Nigtock seeing the shadow of the flying creatrue shoots an arrow straight at the head of the oncoming bird

Josh is hit by the arrow in his shoulder which slows his progess. He still runs at Nigtock aimed to slash his shooting arm since his attention is on Ruval.

The lock on the pen is hit and hit hard, the lock is broken and messed up, the arrow that was in it snaps apart and falls to the ground.

Buzz backs off as the one shrew goes to try and get the lock.

Drais's ferret legs carry him quite quickly, so when he sees Nualu coming towards him, he puts on an extra burst of speed, just barely escaping the range of the shrew's rapier. Panting, he sprints off towards the safety of the woods, not looking back.

"Like I bloody said, no one messes with our Log-a-log." Cadogan gives Lassik a wry grin and goes to cut her bound paws if she has any. "Bastiches. All of them verm can go rot."

Swifton seeing the josh charging at nigtock takes out his throwing knife and throws it straight at josh's spinal section

Nualu stops just short of the woods, swearing under her breth, she needed less endurance running and more sprinting practice. She turned around, and headed for the fight scene as fast as possible.

Lester steps out of the way of a shrew and slices at another one wounding it badly with his dagger. He then trys to go after Josh, his last dagger in paw.

An odd smile crosses Belliger's face as he sees his sword rake across Swifton's chest, and uses the opportunity presented by Swifton's lack of guard in throwing the knife to bring the sword downward to cut across Swifton's throat.

Braeden strides quickly towards the fight, he goes for a little trip and now look what happens, he pulls out his sword, "looking for a target.

Buzz bounds are cut by a shrew, he smiles and goes to follow the log a log out when she goes to leave, yes he is ready to get out of here.

Nigtock sounds the retreat "RETREAT RETREAT!!!"

Quickclaw is still unconious, on the ground.

The shrew looks at the sea otter. "Get yer arse outta here. Oh and kill some of them damn vermin scumbags on the way out if you don't mind? Good fer nutting fleebags, usem' as archery targets." Cadogan offers a paw to Lassik. "Yah comin' lass?" He grins. "I want to go play."

Belliger laughs in victory as his slash meets Swifton's throat and he is sent packing... He looks around... Oooooooh, it's that WILDCAT. He charges right for Braeden, snickering like a madbeast with his bloody short sword raised in the air.

Lester frowns, he takes the idea and goes to flee, he is cut on the shoulder by a shrew and stabs at them, wounding them as the shrew backs off "Someone get Quickclaw inside..." hmmms maybe he should.

Lassik grins at the other shrew. "Aye, go get 'em. I'd 'elp but I ain't got a weapon, an' I'm not in th'best shape." She motions to Buzz. "Le's jus' get out."

Braeden charges for the slave pens to get to Cadogan and the log-a-log, sword drawn and ready.

Buzz teenses at the fighting, he isnt a fighter type seems, and his head still hurts, he nods "Out is good"

Since his target left and everyone else is retreating, Josh shrugs and goes over towards the slave pens to help with his rapier drawn.

Turning, Cad draws a dagger and throws it at the charging Braeden's belly, Quickclaws sword in his other paw leaning against the ground.

A lone guard just coming into the area is stunned by the fight "W..WHAT?" He hears Lester and goes to dodge a shrew and pick up Quickclaw, who is taken inside..Probably to the infirm.

Belliger turns his own course to follow Braeden to the pen, and when he nears him, does the unpredictable and THROWS his short sword at the wildcat, drawing his scimitar.

Braeden moves his sheald up to stop said knife, and swings his heavy sword at cheast hight to a shrew, not letting a knife in his sheald stop him.

Jumping backwards, Cadogan swings Quickclaw's sword double-pawed as hard as he can, the shoulder and side wounds getting to him. Blood forms on his shoulder's bandages as he tries to slice off the wildcat's swordpaw, growling. "Yer one ugly mother *&^$&^#^#"! Cad snarls out at Braeden.

Lassik steps out of the cage, watching the battle for a moment before shaking her head. It's best that she gets out. She holds one paw to her side and nods over her shoulder to Buzz before she begins to stagger away from the camp as quickly as she can with a broken rib.

Buzz is staying close to the log a log

Gaiert creeps back into the camp, slowly, trying to stay unnoticed. He sees Buzz heading out of the camp, almost right towards him, and tries to grab him... But not to kill him or take him back to the Black Rose. He's got his own intentions.

Josh follows after Lassik and Buzz. His rapier is drawn while the other paw is swinging his sling. As he sees a paw reach out toward the sea otter he lets his stone fly towards the paw.

Buzz eeps and about trips, he sees the rat and picks up speed, no way he is staying here, he forces himself to run.

Braeden blocks the shrews sword swing with his sheald just as Bells short sword slises through the armor on his left arm making it so the shrews swing can nock the sheald out of the way, he then steps back and seeing lassik starts to circle towards her.

Lassik frowns slightly as the otter runs ahead, and nods gratefully to Josh. She's too focused on stumbling ahead and ignoring the pain from her broken rib to notice the wildcat's advance right away.

Gaiert howls in pain as the slingstone strikes and embeds itself in his knuckle... So much for his big swindle, that was a NICE SHOT. Wincing against the pain, he flees back into the woods, dodging in between trees to try and make himself invisible.

Misty looks around, whoa excitement, she trys to slip off quickly as t seems things are..confusing and she has a chance to get away.

Blade knocked to the side by the wildcat's shield, Cad growls. He swings the sword in a upward arc as the wildcat heads towards Lassik, trying to hit him from behind.

Belliger shakes his head at Braeden, trying to chase him down, scimitar raised high and a scowl on his face. "LOGALOGALOGALOG!" Hey, you. Over here. :)

Buzz slowls some, but not too much, but he doesnt want to miss where the shrews are going.

Gaiert appears out of a different part of the woods to see Misty singled out from the crowd, and goes to grab her and pull her out of the clearing.

Josh grins at his handiwork and nods to Lassik. He keeps walking with her and the sea otter just incase any more unfriendlies appear.

Ruval recovers from her unsuccessful attack on the vermin, and, flying low, circles towards the fleeing Gaiert.

Misty makes her way over to the trees, trying to avvoid all the fighting going on.Gaiert is behind her as she goes to run again he manages to grab her and pull her backwards, she goes to kick him hard.

Buzz stays close to the shrews as he glaces around, staying alert.

Gaiert flinches as he's kicked in the shin, but doesn't let this affect his grip. Now that shrike that's headed right for him... That, my friends, definitely affects his grip. He lets the otter go, and unsheathes his huge sword from his back, ready to fend off the shrike should it dive at him.

Misty falls onto her knees and shakes her head as she is let go,.

Ruval flies past the rat, staying out of the sword's range, and begins to circle around, aiming to distract Gaiert until the otter gets away.

Misty flees off into the nearby woods.

Gaiert lets the otter get away... Stupid shrike. Growling, he keeps his sword raised and his eye on the bird.

Braeden looks between the two shrews that are armed and the log-a-log, holding his sheald up to deflecting the sword from Cad with his oun and moving ewven quicker towards thw Log a log.

Belliger catches up with the wildcat, finally, and swings the huge scimitar down to slice vertically down his back.

Growling, Cad charges at the back of the wildcat's legs, and goes to swing upwards with the sword in the center. Right between them. Oww.

Gaiert glances to the sky and thinks the shrike is no longer an impending threat, and heads towards the forest where the otter ran, sword still out.

Braeden twists blocking the scemitar with his sheald and swing the sword at an agle downwards, so that it crosses Bells stomatch but more inportantly stops cads sword, he knows he can't keeps this fight up long and needs to get out of here and if posible achieve his mission.

The sword is knocked aside hard and Cad growls in pain. He draws his second dagger and bounds forwards, holding the sword with his other paw and goes to slice the wildcat's achilles tendon.

Lassik frowns and breaks into an all-out run, sprinting the last distance out into the woods, even though it makes the pain from her side worsen.

Nigtock notches an arrow into the bow and releases it on the path that lassik took

Buzz follows the shrews he is near and towards freedom.

Belliger brings the scimitar up enough to block the wildcat's sword from going all the way through, but receives a small gash in the stomach... This only makes him all the more determined. And since Braeden had to stop to block that, he lunges forward again to swing his scimitar horizontally at Braeden's ribs... Not a slice, a chop.

Nigtock sneaks quietly up behind belliger allowing about 20 steps away and notches an arrow into his bow and shoots at belliger who has his back turned to nigtock

Braeden steps back trying to avoid and block Bells sword, he brings up his sword to help with this, and it is knocked out of his paw, just as his foot is cut but du to the cats backsteping the blade norowly mises the tendon, the cat then tries to move for the only side of him not blocked by the shrews, moving his sheald to protect himself from any attacks by Bell.

Dropping his dagger, Cadogan swings the sword double-pawed as hard as he can at the wildcat's exposed knees and legs, trying to knock him down to shrew size as Braeden turns to defend against Belliger.

Belliger grins as his foe is disarmed, and moves to try and knock the shield away, too. "...Agh..." The arrow lands in his upper back, and Belliger falls down to his paws and knees.

Nigtock quickly notches another arrow and walks up another 10 paces and releases another arrow at belliger

Ruval, circling above, goes into a steep dive towards Nigtock.

Braeden sees the shrews swing at his leg as he blocks Bells the cat tries to sidestep it but isn't fast enough, as the blade cuts his armor, fur and a good chunk of muscle under it, now limping he moves as quickly as he can to get out of the way and to the running Log-A-Log.

Lassik's foot catches on a branch and she trips, falling flat on the ground. The impact jars her broken rib, and she cringes, blinded and paralyzed momentarily by the wave of pain that results.

"Where in blood and ashes do yah think yer goin' furball? Get back here I ain't done with yah yet!!!!" Cadogan yells out at the wildcat but stops, spotting Nigtock and the fallen Belliger. "Let's rock." He snarls, drops the sword and jumps in front of his comrade, the second arrow sinking into his left leg. He uses his own body and tries to lay down on Bell like a living shield.

Belliger collapses to the ground, the arrow in his back and the gash in his side sapping out all of his energy, and his sight goes black.

Nigtock seeing the birds shadow rolls out of the way and notches an arrow in the process raising back up releases the arrow at cad who is laying on the ground with his back up

Braeden starts to move as quickly as he can for the log-a-log, now that he is un aposed, and being larger, and having longerstrides he can move still yet quick compaired to a shrew with bad wounds.

Growling, Cad reaches over to pull a dagger from Bell if he has one as Nigtock's arrow completely misses, due to the lack of aim.

Josh spies the cat running towards the fallen Lassik and loads up his sling. Swinging he lets loose a stone towards Braedon. He then leans down to help Lassik up and out of danger.

Lassik is a little... irresponsive right now. I think you would be too if you just jarred a broken rib.

Braeden seeing the sling stone stops it with his sheald and takes out his throwing ax, stopping long enough to throw it at the shrew as he bends over.

Drawing Belliger's dagger, Cad stands. Weak and tired from blood loss, the battle rage leaving him and his adrenaline going downhill, he throws the dagger at Nigtock's chest and moves to grab Quickclaw's sword with one paw and Belligers with the other to try and drag him out of camp.

Nigtock quickly sidesteps out of the way of the dagger, and notches an arrow and shoots a little over belliger so that it will fall and hit the moving target

The shrew falls backwards. Cad growls as Nig's arrow wizzes past him into a tree. Cadogan gets back to his footpaws, blood and sweat rolling down his exhausted form. Sword in paw and Belliger behind him probably being dragger/firemans carried if allowed, he tries to get into the woodlands and escape. With a nice blood trail to follow later.

Belliger isn't exactly going to resist, considering he's in a whole bunch of pain, and not in any condition right now. So, he's carried off.

Josh growls as the axe grazes his shoulder. Lifting Lassik up, the shrew makes for woods.
