A/N

Hey again it's Grubswiper, producing another homemade chapter to 'An Ottermaid's Tale'. This chapter will be just as good as the previous ones. I now have forty reviews for this story! I am so happy!

I wanted to thank my reviewers for answering the question I had, now I yet again have another one. I know many authors on this site that played computer games. I would like to ask you what your favorite game is. My personal favorite is the war game Starcraft. Even though it is one of the older games, it is still a great classic.

Well now that this is all settled, on with the story.

(Begin chapter 16)

The dangerous wind howled as the traveling army down a large cave a scout had found. Once the party was inside safe, deep in the cave, flint and stone was found and a fire was soon going as the storm rage outside.

Once everything was settled, Halden blew a sight of relief as he nudged Earthpaw.

"Thank goodness that squirrel found this or we would be done for eh mate. Just listen to that wind, and we're still pretty far away from the storm!"

Earthpaw nodded his head wisely in agreement. "Burr yoom be roight maister Halden. Oi'm glard weem in this cave.

Timberpaw and another hedgehog came walking by.

"How many are hurt Quindal?" "Six sah, three with limb wounds, two with head wounds, and one with a tree stump falling on her foot."

"Well, im hope thee injuries pray aren't too severe. Please tend to them, my medicine 'og."

Quindal gave a nod and walked back through the crowd of hedgehogs and free slaves, leaving Timberpaw bellowing out orders to his band.

"Hoi, get more fires goin and get some food cookin, we need some strength when we travel again. Lets step to it now!"

As the cooks bustled to get kitchen stations set up, many other hedgehogs were setting up makeshift shelters for the elderly and young ones. As Timberpaw was walking to the injured to make sure they did not suffer too greatly, the lookout who had found the cave tapped his shoulder.

"Excuse me sir, but when I was scoutin this cave, I have found that this much more than a cave."

Timberpaw, now looking interested, nodded.

"Continue young sir."

"Well, when I was scoutin farther along, there was a stream that started down hear and it leads on for quite a while. When I was following it, I thought I saw a glimmer of sunlight. I was gonna keep trekking, but then I heard the thunder and I raced back hear before the storm got hear so I could get you all in this cave."

Timberpaw was now very curious about this underground tunnel it seemed like. He might have heard something like this when he was smaller.

"Thankee, mate. Looks like were traveling through this tunnel, since it seems to be goin in the same direction we're goin. You get yourself some vittles and some rest."

The squirrel smile, glad that his scouting made an important find.

"Yes sah!"

When the food was ready, every creature found a place in line and held their plates almost in a business like way. Curry whispered a question to his new friend Tipon.

"What's for dinner mate? I'm famished!"

Tipon could not look away from the food that was being served. "Looks like we are having cheese turnovers and some kind of drink that the hedgehogs call 'Brown Hog Beer'. But it looks good- hey, Curry what are you doin you little cutter!"

"Umm, just trying to get a better look of the food, anyway I was already here mate, you shouldn't cut in front of people."

"I didn't cut you, you liddle rouge, you cut me!"

"Did not!"

"Did to beetlbum!"

"Did not you quillface!"

"Greeneared whelp!"

"Dolphinnosed creature."

"You…you…ahh! I cant think off anything!"
