By: Kyieslee
Gold Collected: 95 gold coins, a gold ring and 3 gold bars
Number of Beast Seen: 28 beasts
Other Items: A finely crafted broad sword, a silver chain
necklace, a ruby and a spear
Notes: I discovered an otter holt nearby, i'd recommend
patrolers be careful and take there camp further downstream
Patrol Event:
It was rather unprofitable for the first while, by the third day I had
only ran into ten beasts and I only had 30 gold coins. I ended up
taking to the skies and relocating several times before I managed to
find a local that seemed to get more traffic. Near the end of my patrol
I ran into a relatively small fleet of log boats, suprisingly they had
a flag which bore the symbol of sea vermin. I called to them from the
shore and demanded they pay up, a large shrew in tattered corsair garb
stumbled over to the side nearest me and it was quite apparent that he
was very drunk. The shrew said in a slurred tone that they where the
vermin seabeasts of mossflower and that he had a hostage 'frum
reeedwaaiill' that he was going to use to get his loot from the
abbeybeasts in a bargain for the hostages life. Regretfully I let them
pass, since they probably only had junk aboard with the state the ship
appeared to be in. Near nightfall however they came back the way they
had come. The drunken !
shrew was now making a bit more sense and he boasted from the boat that
he was a genius and and the redwallers had paid up. I quickly invited
them to stop at my site for a 'celebration' the fools played right into
my trap, the grog was brought out and a good part of the hoard where
soon drunk, stumbling around singing old sea songs and trying to kill
one another. I swiftly dissapeared and payed a little visit to thier
boats. Surely enough the beast had several chests full of gold coins
near the back of the largest log boat. I took the loot and filled the
chests with sand so they wouldn't notice a difference in weight, the
fools left the next day. After that I managed to earn a good deal, I
was careful to get the exact location down on the map for future referance.
River Moss Patrol Two
By: Redwake
Gold Collected: 278 gold coins,
Number of Beast Seen: 23 beasts
Other Items: precious gems such as emeralds,rubys,and saphiresand a finely forged dirk
Notes: While I was watching for creatures along the stream I
saw 2 rats. On the other bank. I quickly hid and watched them pass.
They looked like tracker rats and had no valuables. This could meen
there is another vermin horde near by. So keep a sharp eye out while
your in the area.
Patrol Event:
So far the patrol hadn't brought in as much as I had expected
All I saw was a few woodlanders and 2 tracker rats. As I
waited hidden in the tree tops I saw a mouse coming toward
me. It was probably looking for the stream to drink. When
he passed underneath me I sprang in front of him. You have
to pay a toll to get through, I told him.What toll, he asked
me. Everything you got, I laughed. I expected quite a lot of
gold from him because he seemed more classy than the othersI had stopped.
