Build me an army, worthy of Cluny...

What orders from Cluny, matey? What does the Scourge command?

FROGBLOOD

We have work to do.

SCENE TWO:

:Cluny instructs Shadow about bringing the tapestry of Martin back.:

The beasts of Redwall have something of great value, a tapestry of a mouse. Bring it to me the picture of Martin, whole and unspoiled. Kill any who try and stop you.

:Shadow growls in acknowledgement.:

SCENE THREE:

:Cluny is exhorting his troops before they march on Redwall.:

CLUNY

Where does Cluny's army go?

What is the law of Cluny?

Kill, kill, kill.

CLUNY

Whom do you serve?

ARMY

Cluny the Scourge!

SCENE SEVEN:

:Matthias is with the shrews, and has the Blackstone, ready to speak. He holds it up by the cord, staring at it.:

LOG-A-LOG

Matthias...

MATTHIAS

It is a strange thing that we should suffer so much confusion and doubt for so small a thing... such a little thing...

:The mouse reaches out a paw to touch the Blackstone.:

LOG-A-LOG

Matthias, give me the stone.

:The shrew's paw darts to his rapier handle.:

MATTHIAS

As you wish... I care not.

:He smiles and gives the stone to Log-a-log, then ruffles the shrew's headfur.:

SCENE EIGHT:

:Warbeak delivers the news that Redwall is about to be captured by the rat army.:

LOG-A-LOG

We still have time enough to counter Cluny, if we move quickly.

MATTHIAS

Time? What time do you think we have?
