*Rudy nimbly jumped up. He smiled roguishly and proceeded further into the marsh. It was toad season, and like every year of Rudy's life in Guardians of Mossflower, he went to challenge them to a fighting duel. He usually had two or more able beasts to come with him, but none seemed to be interested. Rudy sighed. It was too bad that none would come. Maybe someone would come, even though they hadn't heard.
The squirrel-beast moved down the marsh, slimy mud encasing his legs. Rudy was wearing light sandals, a rough tunic and had a long broadsword tucked into his leather sheath. Swiftly, he plowed through the swamp, looking around with his keen eyes.*
It's too quiet. Too quiet for my liking.
*Suddenly, he heard a croak behind him. It was none other than a bunch of ragged-looking toads. Their skin was slimy, and their bulging eyes looked straight at Rudy. One huge, fat toad, who appeared to be the leader, raised his staff. *
King Glowkakatooth, I have come to fight. We agreed on those terms.
Ah, but this year the terms are different. Too many of my toads have fallen slain. I decide to turn the tide. My toads hunt you, and you try to survive.
I did not agree to these terms.
Very well. Then you shall be executed.
*He was surprised at these sudden, vicious terms. Sure, they had always been selfish, vile and evil, but they had never done something as this. Rudy drew his sword quickly.*
Glowkakatooth, this means war.
Yes, I know.
*Suddenly, two fat toads charged Rudy with their slimy axes. Rudy parried off the first toad and lunged at the second. The group was about half a score of toads, most of them warriors. The squirrel stabbed the first toad with his broadsword and kicked the dead carcass off. He then blocked another toad's sword, who was attacking from behind. Rudy thrusted his sword into the amphibian's stomach. The toad fell with a gurgle. Quickly, Rudy skipped back two steps and hollered.*
HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP to MEEEEEEEEE!!
