Verbanth looked to his left and saw Saner hurtling toward him. Hearing
Esel's shout, he looked right and saw the young squirrel running for him,
teeth bared and eyes glittering. Running behind Esel was a tall brown
otter. Verbanth hesitated. Then, the three creatures hollered out
together as their paws thrummed the wall.
"Death to Verbanth!!!!!!!"
Verbanth took one look at Esel and Saner's furious faces and leaped over
the wall with one last yell.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Saner and Esel skidded to a halt and stood panting. Lavender slid to a
halt beside them and they all peered over the wall. Far below lay the
broken body of Verbanth, once the mighty ruler of the fort, now
vanquished. Esel was shaking.
"He jumped off and killed himself!"
Lavender put a arm around the young squirrel and together, she and Saner
led him down the wallstairs. Saner spoke quietly to Esel as they walked.
"Esel, don't be mad at yourself. Verbanth was an evil beast and a coward
through and through. There's no need to bother your head about him. He's
dead now and you and your friends are...free!"
Esel paused and looked toward the gates where stood the slaves, looking
at him. Esel smiled and looked up at the sky. The dark storm clouds were
gone and replaced with white fleecy ones. Early morning sunlight shone
down on the conquered fortress as Esel raised his paws. A mighty shout
ripped from the throats of nearly 90 creatures.
"Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!"
Lavender sat on the green grass of the valley of Noonvale. Brushing a paw
across her eyes, she smiled as she remembered that time. Every one was
free and Esel had grown up into a fine young squirrel. Maybe someday,
I'll see him again, she thought. But until then, I'll stay here at the
wonderful valley of Noonvale.

Okay. 3 Rose leaves.
I was out in the southern portion of Mossflower. I heard some ruckus in the bushes and then there was some evil rats running out of the bushes. Behind them were some slaves. Also there was a ottermaid behind them as well. The ottermaid i reconized it was Rova Stormeye. She told me to free all the slaves while she killed the vermin. Thats exactly what happened.

2 Rose leaves
Well I was walking in Mossflower one day when I saw a pack of vermin that had a poor squirrel over tide to a tree, I quickly thought I should save the squirrel. So I took out my battle expierienced twin daggers and attacked. i slew one when another got behind me and i elbowed him in the stomach that slew him with a dagger.  There leader had a curved sword wich was a deadly weapon. We fought to the death and we  caught each others blades left and right. finally I got the edge and slew him with a dagger. I saved the squirrel and came back to Noonvale.

Nice. 5 Rose leaves.
Cora looked up again. There was still at least 60 feet
to go. She was going to free the young ferretmaid Maya, who was also
her adopted sister. Cora was climbing a ladder into the bad rats
treehouse. It was in the highest tree. Cora reached it an hour later. She
peeked in the key hole. No one was there. Maya was in the corner. Cora
opened the door and untied her sister. "What happened?" Cora asked. Then the
rats came back. "Escaping, eh?" The biggest one said. "Run Maya!" Cora
screamed. But Maya stayed. Cora gave her the slingshot. Cora used her
bow n arrows. They ran out together. The ten rats were shooting
javelins. When the two were 10 feet down the ladder, a rat began slashing his
sword. "Jump!" Maya screamed. Cora thought that she was crazy, but did
it anyway. It was a miracle: They landed with only minor injuries. The
two dibbuns shot at the rats. They were wounded bad by the time they had
killed off two. Then the rest of them decided to jump down too. Then
Maya got an idea. She and Cora laid out arrows on the ground below the
rats. That killed them. All but one. The leader had survived. So he
chased after them. Cora and Maya ran and occasionally shot. Then they got
home and their mother and father killed the rat. They were happy to be
home. The end. -Maya and Cora
