'''Asmodeus''' is the eleventh episode of [[Redwall - Season 1|Season 1]] of the Nelvana [[Redwall TV Series]].

===Summary===
In [[Redwall Abbey]]'s [[Great Hall]], [[Matthias]] and [[Constance]] discuss how he'll need to defeat [[Asmodeus Poisonteeth]] to retrieve the [[Sword of Martin|sword]] of [[Martin the Warrior]].

[[Cluny the Scourge]] orders [[Fangburn]] and [[Darkclaw]] to pressgang [[Mossflower Woods]] residents into his [[Cluny's Horde|horde]].

Matthias and Constance review a map of [[The Quarry]] and make final preparations for his quest. [[Cornflower Fieldmouse]] wishes Matthias well on his journey, while [[Basil Stag Hare]] and [[Abbot Mortimer]] also see him off.

In Mossflower, Matthias avoids Cluny's horde members, who are out seeking new recruits. He encounters [[Guosim (shrew)|Guosim]] and the [[Guerilla Union of Shrews in Mossflower]]. When they begin arguing, he departs on his own, traverses a river, and sets up camp. The shrews hold multiple votes on whether or not to help him.

Cluny reviews the woodlanders captured by his horde.

Matthias awakens to find that the shrews have joined his campsite, and are preparing breakfast. [[Log-a-Log (Redwall)|Log-a-Log]] arrives, and he ferries Matthias, Guosim, and Mingo across the river. While tying up their log, Mingo is consumed by Asmodeus. The others follow the snake tracks and fall down a hidden passage into Asmodeus' lair; Guosim goes missing. Log-a-Log and Matthias wander the tunnels and find Guosim, deceased. Continuing onward, the pair discovers Asmodeus sleeping, with the sword nearby. Matthias retrieves it.

[[Queen Warbeak|Warbeak]] observes as Cluny builds his army.

Asmodeus awakens from his slumber, sees Log-a-Log, and attempts to eat him. Matthias stabs the snake, and Log-a-Log flees. Asmodeus pursues the pair through his tunnels.

The shrew tribe crosses the river on a raft, and looks for them.

Asmodeus corners Matthias and Log-a-Log as the shrews descend into the Quarry. The snake starts hypnotizing Matthias, but the Spirit of Martin the Warrior fills him, and he beheads the enemy. The shrews are grateful for his heroism.

Cluny motivates his troops, urging them to destroy Redwall. The shrews promise to help Matthias fight Cluny.

===Official Synopsis===
Matthias sets off to find Asmodeus and recapture Martin's sword. Helped by the shrews of Mossflower he finally meets his foe in the deep caverns where he guards the Warrior's sword-- the object of Matthias' quest. In a terrible battle Matthias kills Asmodeus. At last the serpent is dead and the sword is his. Now he can truly be the protector of Redwall. But news of Cluny's assault reaches him and he realizes he is trapped deep underground.
