A Lost Hare Returns-Dibbun Slavers LOG

*** So yes I am Elbio's player...I had him disappear after some disagreement and had others decide whether they believed him dead or not, anyways he isn't dead...he is alive and this log shows his return ****

Who:

Elbio- LP Recruit?..Fighter,Skilled  Climber and Archer

Benar-Abbot of Redwall

Krisha-Badger Mother

A couple spoofed guards,some cooks and novices

LOG:

Elbio was having the worse past few days ever. It was bad enough he got separated from the others mainly his fault for getting upset and storming off right into trouble. So he finally gets out of that only to not find them, gets lost and only figured he give up and find the famous Redwall that took some time as well Then rats a lot but he got away and found the wall as his eyes widen, well he did have his gear he could use a hook to climb this wall and hope his past few days...weeks?...didn't get worse.
   
As the hare comes over the wall two otters grab him by the shoulders, another one goes for any weapon he is carrying and a third levels a spear right at him. "Right freeze hare... you are under arrest!"   

Elbio frowns as he looks at the two otters. his outfit likely doesn't help as his tunic is torn and kind of looks like a uniform but his cloak is..all black and designed like bat wings, his fur is dirt covered as he looks between the two and speaks. " W..wvhy.. chaps?" He had a longbow and arrows, a dirk and that climbing gear.   

His weapons are removed and the climbing gear is pulled away as a member of the abbey guard hurries over and frowns, "Because," The otter growls, "The rats have.... slaves, servants, it isn't quite clear but woodlanders who think they are doing their part to help educate us all. And you laddy buck are probably one of them so playing dumb won't help you here."   

Elbio frowns " I'm a hare...a...' He frowns as maybe after this long he wasn't a Long Patrol hare anymore." Educate on wot? Ya guys have like...an order, this is Redwall right?"   

The Mouse frowns, "Yes this is Redwall...." He shakes his head, "Let us take him down and see who is available... maybe we should see if Adrian is awake? If not the Abbot was in the Kiln a little while ago." The otters frog march you along after searching for more weapons and escort you down the stairs.   

Elbio groans as he is marched down steps and into the main yard, he perks up a little looking around in awe at the abbey. no other weapons are found just some berries, a water pouch and some hard half eaten scone or...muffin maybe.   

The otters and the mouse lead him through the grounds, there appears to be a military camp out on the main grounds, beasts from Ferravale & Camp Willow camping outside. In the kiln the Abbot is sat at the pottery wheel making something out of clay but he looks up as the hare is marched up toward him and the mouse informs him how Elbio was caught sneaking over the wall.   

Elbio frowns,he studies Benar and half smiles "umm..good day chap or maybe not such a good day"   

Benar says, "Perhaps not for you, as I am sure you have noticed the abbey is besieged and your masters must know I cannot and will not trust any random stranger to make it to our walls. I am well aware you believe in the Order of Castes and think you are doing the right thing."
   
Elbio gives the abbot one very confused lost look " De who of..what chap? I have no bally master. I am on me own see and got lost from me friends...well may not be me friends now, but..they were."   

Benar leans back, "I see... so who are these friends? Describe them to me and I will see if you are a prisoner or a guest and long lost friend returning home to us"   

Elbio frowns, he nods now"Thar is Corporal Adrain and Private Monty"  He descs them fairly well, "And a couple hare maid..."He desc sola and a rather grumpy one that seems to like the corporal.   

Benar relaxes and motions, "Release him," he says, "Anyone who can describe Monty that well and Sola that well is no rat horde stooge," he smiled softly, "Welcome to Redwall Abbey  my friend, sorry for the rough welcoming but these are... trying times"   

Elbio moves slightly away from the guards, "Tryin' times?" He frowns "Then again...ya can't really miss those rats...they are everywhere, not so much ya east wall seemed or..I got lucky" He clears his throat "Elbio Hans Reed..."   

Benar says, "Indeed, some High Lord from the Empire of the Order of Castes has decided Redwall must be brought back into their ways," he frowns, "I managed to convince their leader he and I are equals so he is fighting us on some weird laws of theirs that don't let him just swamp us under"
   
Elbio crosses his arms and nods, his stomach then growls as he frowns "Sorry thar ..Abbot sur...but thar has ta be a way to bally well make em' leave, ta defeat them..always a way one just needs ta find it"   

Benar says, "We will find the way Elbio..." he frowns, "They have been testing our defenses but with the aid of our friends we have kept them out of the abbey."
   
Elbio nods "Then so far..so good,and now ya have me"He smiles"I am an archer and a good fighter and as ya saw...good climber too wot"He frowns, ok one other question "So ...not ta be rude or anything but need some good tuck, kind of been out of luck on much good stuff past few days when...well"All the trouble with avoiding rats, he even killed a pawful of them in fact.

Benar smiles, "I am sure we can find you something to eat, normally I'd make you wait until the next meal time but with how things are and you're having to sneak in through the woods I am sure I an make an exception," he stands up and wipes his paws clean on a cloth, "Let's go to the Kitchens"   

Elbio smiles at the word kitchen and nods"Jolly well lead the way" He also wants to see more of the abbey but has done well to hide that excitement, fairly well he is still in awe of it all"The abbey is bigger than thought and never knew they had all..this.I heard stories of the abbey"   

Benar leads the way across the grounds, Elbio might notice two of the abbey guards follow from the kiln, seems no one is taking chances with Benar right now and he has an escort of guards anytime he goes outside. The kitchens are bustling, with so many extra mouths to feed meals outside of actual meal times and not controlled are an oddity but a word to a helper gets some soup and bread served up for the hare. "Here we go Elbio."
   
Elbio follows the abbot and smiles at the offered soup and bread. "Thank ya" He is polite, though likely should get a bath but that can wait after a meal.He eats at a calm pace even if he is hungry, one is polite here after all as he looks around "Hopefully your..seige thing will end soon"   

Krisha makes her way into the kitchens, seeing the hare she stops and looks at him, then Benar "So we have a new guest? I thought the gates was locked to any beast right now"   

Benar says, "Elbio managed to get in over the eastern wall," he shakes his head, "He is part of Adrian's team, seems he got separated before they reached here," he frowns at Elbio and sighs, "I hope so too... this siege is warying on my nerves"   

Elbio straightens up when he sees the badger and nods a hallo to her, " Yes and...hopefully not in trouble I didn't bally well mean to get lost....ok I did grumble once and kind of went off, but came back ta de camp and they were gone and some other issues were happening...but glad they are ok and I..well will see them soon"   

Krisha frowns at first as she looks the hare over, then nods "Well if he is one of Adrian's hares good, we need to let him know to let him know..Elbio was it?, is here..."She frowns at the hare "A bath be good too, and a change of outfit."   

Benar smiles and leans back against the kitchen counter, he'll let Krisha do the mothering, no one can resist the Badger mother for long when they have decided someone needs a bath, "We have spare robes they can wear until their uniform can be prepared and I am sure we can arrange a bath...."   

Elbio frowns, "A...bath?" He is not against it, he just is tried and just got here, though the one cloak is odd"The cloak...is special-made, a gift from bats we meeT, made from some special cloth they had cause we jolly well helped them when vermin tried ta invade their mountain home." His uniform, yeah could do with some sewing "And I jolly well need food first..."Well more as he had one bowl and bread already and some water to drink."Maybe find me, friends..."He does back up a little bit.   

Krisha snorts as she walks closer to the hare, "I say bath now and find other beasts later, the food and drink is going no where trust me.."Another step to the hare,"I be glad to show you to a nice place, some novices can get a bath ready..we can take great care of that cloak and let your hare friends know your here." She is in front of him now.   

Benar smiles softly at Elbio but offers no help, Krisha has decided, even Benar doesn't say no when she has decided something must be done, "I am sure a bath will help you feel better," he picks up a bowl of salad, "Besides you just finished your soup," he hands the bowl to a novice, "Anything else will have to wait for lunch in oh... say two hours, and I can't have someone with your.... delightful foresty fragrance at my table."
   
Elbio backs into a table and frowns at the badger, "I..."He glances over at the Abbot "I am not bally well against it...just...rest and food is good.." He looks back at Krisha"Ya sure..later isn't good...lass?"   

Krisha clearly isn't taking no for a reply as she goes to grab an ear and escort him to where he can get a bath, and his uniform and cape will be carefully washed as well"Also find an extra robe he can wear at lunch."She says, if he still wants to say no again...well he likely shouldn't risk that. she finds a couple of novices and ask them to prepare a nice warm bath for their guest   

Benar smiles and waves, "Welcome to Redwall Elbio," he leans to a cook, "Make sure to make him a snack for when he comes back, but not a big one... and explain to him the abbey kitchen is closed to all Long Patrol hares, they can eat at meal times like everyone else..." he smiles and then heads for the door, wandering off with the salad.   

Elbio doesn't say no again luckly, he sighs and gives in.."Just be careful with de cloak, its delicate...and when do I get de uniform back?" He sighs and will take his bath without further questions.
   
Krisha makes sure the hare has a room to himself, makes sure a clean robe is placed on a bench for him for when he is done"When your clean and dry put on the robe, I will be outside in the hall"Yep she is not leaaveing the hallway and letting him go wandering off.   

Elbio sighs and nods, fine he will do as asked.But they best take extra care with his cloak
   
Time passes and it's been almost 2 hours now.   

Elbio peeks out and slips into the hall, so his dusty greyish brown fur, that had some clumps of fur in a couple of places is brown fur..wow.He smellls a LOT better now and has the light green robe on for now. His ears turn to sounds, one is a little taller than the other one, he didn't have much grey brown, but its clear it was dirt and dust, he is all clean now.He seems unsure where to go now.   

Krisha glaces over and offers a smile "See...much better, and ya likely feel better as Benar said you would, am I correct?" She is in a better mood now that the hare is clean."Your uniform and cloak were cleaned and drying, the uniform will be sewed, your cloak was in good shape...intresting where did you get it?"   

Elbio seems glad the badger is in a much better mood as he smiles, he does feel better now and even more awake "Bats lass...from a mountain where they rule, lots of em...me and my friends helped them get rid of some rather...ummm bad beasts, very bad beasts" And deadly he remembers,they killed a friend he made, it was fairly frightening fighting the vermin...and even a rare couple woodlanders have gone...well wrong in his mind just wrong,they were ...well he shakes the memory from his head"The bath was nice, thank ya..some tuck be nice too"   

Krisha nods as she leads the way to the Great Hall "Lunch is in about an hour now" She gets some blueberry scones and tea and sits down "We can have this for now, I am not sure what is for lunch yet, we shall see then"   

Elbio nods, he eats a scone and gets a secound one he eats a bit slower and smiles, a sip or two of tea as he smiles "Awwww..good good food lass, delightful.."He drains the tea and gets more finishing the 2nd scone.
   
Krisha sighs, she has eaten half a scone and drank a little of the tea "I am glad you're enjoying it..though be nice and eat too fast...or too much, by the way kitchen off limits to hares, you eat at meal times..this snack is because you missed breakfast and was lost in the woods a few days, likely had not much to eat in the woods. But meals at mealtime like everyone else....breakfast...lunch...dinner...water and maybe a light cider at times if your outside, understood?" Looks like she means it too, he best listen.   

Elbio has the 3nd scone and just nibbles it, sips a 2nd mug of tea and nods "Yes...lass. Of course..lass..sorry, so wots all...going on, wots de rats want ?"   

Krisha frowns "Wish I knew...some rightfu order or ..something"She frowns "Our champion, the gate keeper and my mate are off hunting slavers that took our dibbuns, the only dibbuns here is a goose that was on the pond hiding and luckily was not  caught,she lives at the abbey and Log-A-Log's young son, he was at the GUOSIM camp, all the others....gone..taken, a Sister was..killed and we have had no updates on where our 3 beasts are...there was also a couple others that went too, to help them...they could be anywhere..alive or ...even....."She frowns more, no she won't believe anyone dead, they are fine...they have to be fine and will be home when they can and home will be here ready and safe for them.   

Elbio frowns, he reaches out a paw to touch her arm, "Don't worry lass, I am sure they are fine and as for the rats...they will be defeated, how and when...well we bally well wait and find out right?"   

Krisha nods slowly and smiles a little "Martin will...protect us and them, its just hard not to worry. I miss my son...my dibbuns.." To her all the abbey dibbuns are her dibbuns.." I miss my mate, he can be a bit rush into danger without always thinking on it first...but our campion will likely keep him..calm I hope, its just the not knowing where they are or when be back, is anyone hurt..or worse"   

Elbio listens, he is good at that and pats her arm "Thar thar lass..keep hope alive wot? They will be back and maybe the grand abbey can have a feast to celebrate caause other friends and allies ya have here is gonna make sure those rats are long gone by the time your friends get back with the dibbuns in tow"   

Krisha smiles "Thank you.."She wipes away a tear and stands "I can..show you around the abbey before lunch, maybe we will find your hare friends before then, if not trust me your see them at lunch"   

Elbio nods "Lead de way good lass."He smiles, though he is not too sure the other hares will react well, well he will find out right now he enjoys a tour of the abbey and its more wonderful than he ever thought it would be.
