OOC: I guess you meant my oppent. Awwwwww. I had an awsome idea. XD.
BIC:
Crystal's eyes appered bloodflecked, and, oddly enough, she seemed quite pleased in the midst of the battle. Ripping the hare's sword from her foe's body, she tossed it to the hare, then wnt quickly back of tip paw, whirling sharply, her cloak flowing out behind her. Grinning with gim happiness, the foxmaiden sought out yet another creature to go after.
Foxes swarmmed everywhere, Crystal wasn't about to count. All she knew was that she and her commrades were in danger, and if they didn't get out of here fast, they were doomed to die. Fear drug at her, but her wild fighting sense told her to srand and fight. But she wasn't able to fight long.
"Stand and fight, or run and live like a coward! Rosepawwwwwwww!!!" Howling her last name, her family's battle cry, to the skies, Crystal chraged in, her sword sweeping the the blade on a gultotine, it's only purpose clear; death. As she went after a fleeing foebeast, she felt the cloak around her neck get tight. Coughing, she turned around to see what had caught her. Her hood was thrust over her head, and the hood was tied to the end of the cloak, forceing her to stay curled in a ball. She could feeal ropes being bound around her tightly curled body, cutting off curculation.
Her capture hit her head with the flat of his blade twice. There was no need for a second blow, the vixen's mad struggle had stopped. Shallowly breathing in her prsion, Crystal lost all sense of time, dicteion... She lost control of herself, her eyes closeing tightly.

**Song's panicked form had been clubbed into unconsciousness. She had gone down though, with a dagger in the chest of a weasel. She awoke slowly, though she was sitting, not tied to tree. She tried to stand up, but banged her head on the cage that she had just found imprisoned her. A burning headache greeted her. SHe reached instictively for her healers pack and found it gone.
A groan escaped the maid. AM I Alone? Song looked up and around, images blurring her pained eyes. RAiden, Zahi, Trees? They looked like puppets. A drumming noise echoed in her head as she sang a note or two to see if they were there. SHe knew Raiden would have told her not to sing, but she couldn't help it.**
Are you there? Oh Where?

"Ughh..." Crystal's emerald eyes blinked slowly, her senses comming back. Worst of all the the sense of feeling at all. Gasping, she tore madly at the cloak still holding her, trapped. The ropes were gone, and soon Crystal's sikly furred head poked through, then her claws, ripping the green cloak to tatters. She had two more back at the fort, she wasn't worried about her cloak. Her throbbing head blurred her vision, but she clearly saw her postion. Her prsion was the same as Song's. In a cage.
"Lemme out of here!" The vixen yowled, her claws maddly ripping at the bars. "Do you hear me?! Let me out of this cage, now! I'll rip the whole lot of you to bits! Aye, I'll show you what a real fox fights like!"
One of the foxes, seated near a nearby fire, turned his head and snarled at her. "Shut yer mouth, missie. I'll wip' th't smug look off yer gob quick 'nough if yew wasn't in th're!"
"Then let me out and show me how your fight dishonerablely! Disgrace to the name o' foxes, you lot are!" Crystal snorted, spitting venomishly. "Ruin my life's work!"
"o' shut her gob, vix'n! Ah'll live me live 'ow I wants!"

Vayne cackled in joy, swinging his axe expertly before placing it in its proper position of being slung across his back. He watched as his son sat down, pulling the sobbing Laif next to himself and taunting her in happiness.
His gaze then wandered from his spoiled lazy son, to all of the captives they had obtained. " Such a great number o' my men, perished from, jus' yew lot 'n that golden weasel. Interestin' . Though, no matter, my soldier's bar fight plan did work swimmingly. My son got 'is future wife and slave back, we've got some more slaves, and all at the cost of some useless lives. Perfect!" He exclaimed happily.
A random fox and ferret were exchanging chuckles, and suddenly the fox declared what they should do. " ' ey chief! Let's eat one 'o them tonight, please? Jus' one! We 'aven't 'ad some goodbeast in awhile, 'n well, it'll be a good hold off while we're on the road eh?!" He proposed, licking his lips.
Vayne scoffed at the thought at first, but then nodded licking his own lips. " As a matter o' fact, that does sound quite delicious...."
Laif pulled away from the chieftan's son, some of his slobber rushing down her cheeks as she whimpered in her gag. Had the chieftan killed Kaden? Which one of these poor beasts would eaten? She felt so bad...this was all her fault....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaden finally awoke, the unfortunate taste of blood never leaving his mouth. His cold silver blue eyes glanced around him, before resting on the river. Weakly, he began to crawl over to it, his ribs and head aching. Dry blood stained the side of his face and fur. A sigh left his lips as he tiredly began to splash his face with water. The weasel scoffed at his pathetic reflection. In an odd manner from rage, he took his final dagger from his coat and slashed off his long pony tail, and then using some water, brushed back his very long bangs, keeping them on top of his head.
I shoulda never come 'ere...No...maybe.Maybe this was supposed to 'appen... I may not 'ave friends YET, but none the less, they're innocent beasts and need my 'elp. Besides...maybe, maybe this'll win ova Laif for me.... He thought indecisively.
Next, out of nowhere, he nodded in pure confidence. He got to his footpaws, found his blades that lay on the ground from getting knocked out, sheathed them, and began to develop a plan. He'd have to find a way to arm his comrades, as soon as he freed them...

**Song's overwhelmed senses came to a close. SHe sat back, leaning against the cage, exhausted. **LAif, LAif....

Laif's ears picked up what Song was saying and she frowned, her eyes locking on the imprisoned Song. Her ears flattned, she shed another tear. Not one of her tears she released were for herself. They were for the others, and from the fowl stench from the chieftan's son's mouth. She looked at the helpless comrades, and tried to chew through her gag. Didn't work unfortunately. Someone had to come save them. Maybe Kaden would get an army or something.... or maybe, she'd have to wacth these beasts suffer in slavery and watch their friend be eaten.

**Song sighted a fire, and what looked like her weasel friend. Suddenly, she felt eyes on her. Laif's. SHe sighed slightly, though it was muffled by a rumpled dress the maid had put in her mouth to make herself stop crying. Once more she had killed another living creature. A sob rattled her. Oh, When would Kaden come? When would Brawn come? Never? Song looked to her skirts. They were wide, and she hid things in them. A paw rustled quietly through them, and she smiled slightly, though tear till fell from her eyes, making her look like the noble but beautiful heroine. The dewy sadness wasn't for her, it was all an act for the guards. Ahah! The dagger. A slim blade sat in her paw. SHe slit her bonds carefully, then started to hum her guards to sleep.
The Ruse Worked! They were asleep. She looked across the land, hoping, praying, Kaden would come. **

Post by Raiden and Zahi on Feb 27, 2007 4:52:43 GMT -5
Typical... My backup plans need backups... I was hoping that you would have tried to rescue us Crys. The same with you Song. Oh well... Just means I'll have to find my own way out...
**Swinging himself back and forth, the suspended mouse began to go closer to the top of the branch. The only problem would be the way his arms had been tied; a short length of rope was between his wrists and the branch.**
This could be a problem... Oh well... I've been in tighter situations before.
**Just as Raiden swung himself over and onto the thick branch, an arrow sped from nowhere to cut the rope. Feeling the rope slacken, Raiden breathed a sigh of relief.**
That was close... I heard an arrow, but didn't see it... Oh wait... I'm still wearing the blindfold.
**Forcing the black material off his left eye with his paws, the mouse began to chew through the last of the rope binding his paws together.**
Much better... Hmmm... That arrow looks very familiar... It can't be... Sunfire's dead... Could it be I was wrong? But I watched her die in front of me... She couldn't hit that for with a bow either...
**As Raiden looked around, there was a piece of a black skirt just vanishing into the bushes.**
Oi! Forget about me did you?
**Zahi was getting rather impatiant with Raiden spending an age just freeing himself.**
No dear sweetheart, I'm just remenicing while I get some feeling back into my arms.
**Rubbing his burning fore arms, Raiden dropped down from the branch to the ground. Hitting the ground rolling, Raiden took in the camp's layout. There was a large fire being built not too far away, beyond that there was several large tents for the horde to share, while the grandest tents stood further still from the mouse. Noticing some movement from near a small wooden building, Raiden smiled; An armoury. The group's weapons and equipment should be there.**
I'll be back Zahi. Just sit tight while I recover some pointy objects.
**Without waiting for a reply, Raiden slunk off into the bushes. He knew that his escape would be swiftly discovered and his friends would suffer for it, but they all stood more of a chance if they were armed. As Raiden neared the small armoury, the tree line thinned out until it was a dash along open ground.**
Damn... I'll just have to do this the old-fasioned way. RFOLMT, Run fast or lose my tail... Not that I've got much left to lose...
**Gritting his teeth, Raiden tensed himself for the run. He needn't have worried on the inward trip, the guards weren't paying attention. Looking round the back, he found a window.**
Who the blazes puts a window in an armoury? Works for me though...
**Liffting the low pane of glass upwards, the mouse climbed through into the small room. Looking at the barrels of swords and pole-arms, he wasn't too impressed. He wasn't too impressed untill his eyes found a small bin with just two swords in it; His own and Crystal's. Stuck in the wall was Zahi and Song's daggers. Finally, his few pieces of armour were lying against the wall like they had been dumped there.**
Oh... It's seriously on now... Nobeast treats my armour this way...
**Buckleing on the few pieces of the armour he had taken to the show, Raiden buckled his sword on. Thrusting the daggers into his belt, he vaulted out the window with Crystal's sword in his paw. The problem now would be getting back to his wife and friends before the alarm was raised, either from his escape, or from him being spoted now. Without quite knowing how he did it, Raiden made it back to the trees. The return trip was not as eventfull until the end when he reached the cages. Selecting the one that held his fisty fox friend, he passed the sword through the bars.**
Yours I believe Crys.
**Moving on to Song's cage, he passed her dagger through.**
For you my friend.
**Lastly, he cut the ropes binding Zahi to the tree.**
Just sit tight you said. I couldn't do anything except sit you nit-wit!
Jeeze... Here I come bearing gifts as well...
**Raiden tossed the last two daggers back to their owner, before he left for the cages again. This time, his sword was drawn.**
This could be loud, so just be ready to come out swinging your weapons.
**Raising his blade, Raiden sliced through the steel pin in the lock of Song's cage. The clang resonated past the fire builders. Quickly a bell's tolls were heard.**
Uh-oh... I gotta make this one quick... Hang on a sec Crys, I'll have you out momentarilly.
**Without much of a plan, Raiden hacked at the lock on Crystal's cage; again a metal pin, but this time there was a pair of bolts at the top and bottom of the door.**
Damn it all! These could take me a few moments...
**After hauling the first bolt across with a lot of difficulty, Raiden found the second to jam on him half-way along.**
I don't have time for this!
**With the sound of approaching vermin getting closer, he swung his blade at the bolt. It gave under the blow delivered with a power born of desperation. Turning, the mouse saw the front runners getting closer to him.**
AVE ADDO OF MORTIS! AVE NOX NOCTIC ADDO!
**With his own shouted personal battle-cry ringing in his ears, Raiden charged forwards to join the combat quickly.**

OOC: Well, or not. . Apparently Raiden has things under control. I'll just have Kaden remain unconcious at the river I guess..hmm...

OOC: OOC: Raiden and Zahi are K'Oed so there's nothing that thay can do to flee... until my post properly starts... Now Raiden has things in paw, but is out numbered by about ten-to one... Not like that's ever stopped him. I'll post IC when Song and/or Crystal post.

OOC: Yeah, figured....hmm...I have no clue what to do again, and this is rare for me...I know I can still have Kaden help, but the feeling and meaning it would've had, is just completely out the window....I give up. Forget it....and this is all I can think of right now....so, meh...
Laif watched as chaos erupted on the camp. Suddenly, she felt the chieftan's son pick her up, and began to run off with her.

**Songaw the cage open and heard the dagger fall. SHe grabbed it, and saw LAif being carried off. She waved to Raiden as she followed her friend.** I'm Cummin' LAif!

Post by Tasna and Willowtail Riverend on Feb 27, 2007 17:16:53 GMT -5
*Back in the tavern, Tasna finally regained her senses and came out from under the table. The otter stood up looking around her. The fighting had ceased a bit, and most of the vermin had left. Frowning, she charged out of the tavern to see where the others had gone to. Noticing a small yellow speck in the distance, which she supposed to be a fire, she started toward it* They must be over there. It's not like them to just leave a battle. *As she passed the armoury, her eye caught a tall figure running toward the wall. Tasna ducked behind a corner of the outside and waited until the beast left again. She squinted in the dark to try and see who it was. All she could see was the silhouette of a mouse headed toward the fire. It could've been Raiden or Zahi. Or even a different mouse from the tavern. All she knew was that the beasts wasn't happy with the situation*
