*The fox and the weasel are shoved aside by Ashnel's attack. The dropped chair kind of bounces off the otter's back. The otter turns with a growl and sends a massive punch at Ashnel - apparently, he's used to bar fighting.* *Regen jumps on the otter from behind sinking his claws into his foe's back. * *The two vermin come at Ashnel from the sides.*

*Ashnel is thrown back by the otter's fist, and nearly collides with the weasel. He halts, unsure where to turn. On one side of the squirrel, is the fox, on the other, the weasel and in front, the otter, who appears distracted. Ashnel kicks at the fox's footpaws, hoping to knock it over.*

*The fox staggers when Ashnel kicks him, tripping slightly and backing up.*
*The otter manages to violently shake Regen off and send him flying. Regen collapses against a table for a moment, panting.*
*Meanwhile, the weasel steps behind of Ashnel, leaving the now angry otter in front of him. The otter growls at the squirrel and prepares to throw the sucker punch of his life into Ashnel's face.*
*Regen, fortunately, staggers upright and leaps into the otter's side before that can happen, sending the taller creature staggering to the side. The two go crashing into Regen's table, spilling the ale left in the squirrel's mug.*
*The fox and the weasel jump at Ashnel with claws extended, the fox snarling slightly, angry at being knocked back.*

*Ashnel yells as the fox's claws dig into him. He attempts to send a kick at the weasel's shins, so there is one less of the small mob for him to deal with. Two on one - Ashnel tells himself and curses. From the corner of his vision, he sees Regen and the otter fall and has to fight every instinct not to turn his back on the fox and weasel and help the other squirrel.*

*The weasel staggers back with a curse when Ashnel kicks him, stopping to rub his shins. The fox, meanwhile, disengages from Ashnel and backs away until his companion recovers.*
*Regen and the otter wrestle in the remains of the table. After a moment, Regen staggers upright and backs quickly away, panting.* *...think 'e's out.
*The fox rushes Regen, then, followed by the weasel. They appear to be ignoring Ashnel.*

*Ashnel hurtles forward and tries to grab the fox by the throat. Somewhere behind him, the squirrel hears somebeast laugh, making him all the more angry.* Regen! *Ashnel yelps, surprised nobeast else has intervened yet.* The weasel!

*Regen, warned by Ashnel, to face the weasel, turning his head so the vermin will charge into his shoulder. The weasel, unfortunately, sees what's happening and does the same thing, colliding with Regen. The two crash into the ruined table and the wall.* *The fox, meanwhile, gags as Ashnel grabs his throat and slashes at the dark squirrel with his claws.*
*Two creatures approach the battle from across the bar - Johnny, the bartender, and Steven Airkist. The big rat makes a grab for the back of Ashnel's tunic.* *That's enough! *Airkist goes past the bartender and dives into the battle between Regen and the weasel, punching and kicking.*

Leggo! *Ashnel snaps at the other, trying to break free of the rat's grip.* They attacked first! *I think, he finishes silently. Ashnel spots Steven Airkist's more paws-on approach of breaking up a fight and struggles harder.* Lookit him - he's hardly helping - let go! *The squirrel curses at Johnny, bearing his teeth and trying to scratch the rat.*

*Johnny attempts to lift Ashnel, barking, *Enough! There's no riotin' in m' tavern! *He starts for the door, dragging both Ashnel and the fox behind him. The fox has stopped struggling.*
*Meanwhile, Airkist has managed to knock the weasel out. He wrestles Regen for a moment, then pins the other squirrel to the floor. *Stoppit, Colonel!

*Ashnel considers answering that, be that the case, he'll continue rioting outside the tavern. Luckily, the squirrel remains silent and glances back at Regen to see if he's alright. Regen did say not to start a fight... mind you, it was as though it was me...*

*Johnny kicks the door open and drops Ashnel and the fox outside the tavern on the porch. Regen soon follows, with the weasel, except Regen misses and falls with a splat in the mud outside.* *The squirrel leans back in the mud and stares hurtfully up at Johnny. The rat shakes his head. *Colonel, yer a world o' trouble, ya know that? *The rat goes back inside.* *Regen leans back and laughs, then look up at Ashnel. *Well, y' wanna continue?

*Ashnel pauses, and, as though feeling remorse for attacking the fox, holds out a paw.* Wait a moment, Regen. *He mutters, without looking at the other. No use keeping up the pretence I don't know him. For a moment, I was almost proud to know him... Ashnel shakes this thought away quickly.*

*Regen sits in the mud a moment longer, then staggers upright and wipes mud off his tunic. He grins at the fox, who glares back and staggers away. The weasel appears to have been knocked out by Airkist, and lies on the porch.* *The squirrel looks at Ashnel again, and appears to realize that the other is embarrased. He glances at his boots and sighs heavily.* *...so...didja find anythin' out?

Nothing worth knowing, *Ashnel answers.* And nothing that you couldn't have told me or I could've guessed. *He shruggs again and glances down at the fox.* Oh, and advice to you: find new friends. *The squirrel nods at the weasel. This place feels so much like home, Ashnel remarks cheerily to himself as he notes that the weasel is unconscious.*

*Regen glances at the weasel and shrugs slightly. *Huh, well...obviously, I ain't frien's with that one. Although the otter might 'ave a bit more respect fer 'is superiors now. *The squirrel nods at the weasel, which appears to be coming 'round. *Y' ready t' go?
