Here is the 5th Prisoner Page.
Bushtail the Fox
Captured by Swiftback
When I was out patroling near the beaches, I had sighted a ship. I ran to get some of the other patrolers. When we arrived, the boat had already anchored. The boat seemed deserted. We got in our longboat and headed to the vessel. We searched thoroughly on the deck and in the cabins. We went to the lower levels. Noone was there. Then we found a tattoed fox asleep in the storage room. We set traps so that when he wakenend, he would not be able to get out. About 30 minutes later he woke up.He said, "You scurvy curs! I'll kill you all!" He charged us, grabbing a scimitar on the way. His foot got caught in a tripwire, and he tumbled to the floor with a crash, knocking him unconcious.  We picked him up in a hammock and carried him back in the longboat to Salamandastron.  We carried him into the prison cell, and I shouted to Tammo, "Another prisoner caught for ye, sir!"


Olrus the Backbone, a Pine Marten
Captured by Perigord
We had 2 vermin guests brought into our kingdom of Salamandastron.  I was a young private eating at a fest for our new "friends."  During the feast, mighty Irongrip told me to keep an eye on the vermin and he sent me and my friend off to spy on them.  When the sun had set they went to their rooms.  My buddy, Jenkils, was going to slay the one we saw murder a mole the earlier day.  I gave the honor to Jenkils because it had been his sister who had been killed.  So he snuck into the room only to be stabbed in the back by the vicious ferret.  I ran into the room and sliced off the ferret's head easily.  I lay weeping over my friends limp body when I remembered the other one, the pine marten Olrus the Backbone!  I snuck into his room and tied him up before he awoke.  I was angry and sad because of the earlier event so Irongrip and Tammo- my respected elders- cheered me up by letting me burn the ferret's body; they also healped me cage the ferocious pine marten freind of his.  I will never forget that day.
Jabber Mouth the Rat
Captured by Perigord
I was out scoutin' the east side of Salamandastron, when me eye seen a little movement below the wall...I looked over da wall and saw a li'l rat spy climbin' up.  I seen a log a while back so I ran to it and picked it up.  I his behind a pillar and when the rat got up da wall I jumped out.  I yelled out, "LONGGGG PATROL!  EEUULLAALLIIAA!!!!!!!!!!!"  An' smacked him upside the head.  I was saprized that sucker lived...he fell half dead into me arms, so I tied 'im up an'  brought 'im to me mightly lord and said, "Got ye another prisoner sire."  Then I took da rat to the cellar and threw 'im in there.
Sir Lockjaw, a Greatrat
Captured by Perigord
I was training to become a galloper outside Salamandastron, when I saw some movement by the shore.  I ran over to the site and was ambushed by four Greatrats.  I had no idea what was going on until I accidentally stepped aside and saved myself.  A giant rat had just missed me because of my mistake and his rusty cutlass hit a rock and snapped.  It flew up and slammed into the greatrat behind me, killing him immediately.  I grabbed his sword and started to defend myself.  I slipped in about a foot of water and tripped the huge rat in front of me and the 2 rats behind him tripped and killed each other instantly. All died but the last rat to fall on the others.  He pulled out his sword and came after me.  I found a handfull of sand and threw it into his eyes, blinding him.  I whipped out a stick and knocked him out cold.  I dragged him back to Salamandastron and threw him into a cell.  I had captured a gigantic rat named Sir Lockjaw.
A Rat Maid
Captured by Sashilia
The other day, at early sunrise, while walking down the beach, I came across a set of recent footprints, not yet completely washed away by water. I followed the shimmering path of them into an area covered in dunes. Here I
could only make out small dents in the dry sand, and eventually, what hopefully were the footprints, and not simply ripples from the wind, led to a dune taller than all the rest I'd seen. I climbed silently to the top, so that who ever was ontop wouldn't know I was there, and hiding behind a brush, I saw that it was a lone ratmaid, asleep by a large traveling sack. I took a coil of rope from a pouch on my belt, and crept up to her slowly. I was not quiet enough, though, and her eyes shot open. She spun around to face me, bearing a small, jeweled dagger. I had no close-range weapons on me, and so I lept at her and tried to knock the dagger out of her hand. She was skilled at fighting, though, and escaped easily from my grasp. As a squirrel, I was born with agility and nimbleness, but this rat matched all my speed and grace, dodging out of reach when I leaped at her, and darting
in and out to give small stabs with her dagger. However, she was wearing a green dress, simple but beautiful, and though it made her a rather dashing figure, it slowed her down. I dodged and blocked her blows, waiting for her
to stumble. the time came soon. She made a sudden swipe of the dagger, aimed directly at my chest, and would have probably hit her mark had she not triped for a split second. that second gave me the time to lunge at her arm, and send her weapon sprawling. Without her dagger, I could easily defeat her, and had her pinned to the ground and tied in a matter of minutes. She cursed at her dress the entire walk back to Salamandastron.

Reddblade, a Fox
Captured by Lacroon
I was doing the usual rounds inside of the mountain, when I suddenly saw a shadow slide by me.  Thinking that it was simply another Long Patroller, I  crept up behind it, hoping to scare the duty-shirking hare.  Tapping the dark-cloaked figure, I started, "Hey, shoudn't y' be on duty, chap?"  The Figure quickly turned around, revealing itself as a small fox with a dagger in his paw.  thinking quickly I swung my quick right forward and caught him
under the chin.  Grabbing the dagger as it dopped from his paws, I pointed it towards his throat, freezing him.  I then  tied him up and brought him to Lord Tammo for orders.

Mystery Mouse, a Pygmy Rat
Captured by Perigord
Seasons ago, I was out scouting and saw some movement in the brush. I found a log and chucked it at the bush and a little rat fell out. I tied him up and started to Salamandastron. He awoke and bit through the rope, then ran off. I hadn't noticed until I went to bed. I didn't think he'd attack me but he did. He was a leader of a small band of foxes and he called himself Mystery Mouse. After a long and desperate battle, I slew his vermin, broke his legs and threw 'im in a cell in Salamandastron.
Sharpclaw the Younger, a Ferret
Captured by Swiftback
While I was out patrolling the beaches. I saw a wrecked ship. There was a huge battle that had already passed. I went onboard to search for survivors. There was only one. He was very injured. Since he was injured, he was very easy to get back to Salamandastron. One less dungeon space in the Fire Mountain!
Twitchfinger, a rat
In an old underground cave we found an almost starved rat. We took him to the fire mountain. We thought he had good in him until one night after he returned to full health. He stole weapons and food and headed out. Luckily, I was thirsty and caught him just as he headed out the door. I woke up the whole mountain for some help to capture him in the prison cells. Urthfire strode out and picked him up with ease and put him in the cellars for us.
