'''Heroes and Fools''' is the ninth episode of [[Redwall - Season 3|Season 3]] and the thirty-fifth episode overall of the Nelvana [[Redwall TV Series]].

===Summary===
[[Wakka]] tries to pounce on [[Martin the Warrior]] as the [[Gawtrybe]] cheer him on. A fight breaks out between the two, and despite Wakka's best efforts to use dirty tactics, Martin forces him into submission. He and his squirrels disperse.

In the caved in [[Fort Marshank]] escape tunnel, [[Keyla]] digs furiously, providing an exit hole for the slaves. After breaching the surface, [[Brome]] goes to get help.

At the fort, [[Stumptooth]] and [[Bluehide]] converse about the weather atop a wall when they determine that the slaves who were in the prison pit escaped. They sound the alarm, and [[Badrang the Tyrant]] demands to know who's responsible. Fingers are pointed at [[Nipwort]], who is tossed into the pit to find out where the captives went. [[Hisk]] and [[Fleabane]] are commanded to organize the [[Badrang's Army|horde]].

[[Tramun Clogg]] finds [[Oilback]]'s corpse. He agrees to a truce with Badrang until the escaped slaves are captured, and heads north, while Badrang goes south. With Marshank empty, Clogg plots on taking it for himself.

Nipwort exits the tunnel and spots the slaves running down the beach. He alerts Badrang, who gives chase.

Brome, [[Ballaw De Quincewold]], [[Rowanoak]], and [[Felldoh]] rush to aid the escapees. They spot Badrang pursuing them from above.

Martin, [[Laterose of Noonvale]], [[Grumm Trencher]], and [[Pallum]] march onward, spotting [[Boldred]]'s cave in the mountainside. Rose notices that Martin is wounded from his battle earlier, and a rest break commences.

Brome and his companions lower ropes down for the slaves to climb up to them. After the last slave arrives at the top of the cliffs, the ropes are unsecured, causing mayhem for Badrang's horde members. Badrang tasks Hisk with tracking down their location; the rest return to Marshank.

Clogg lounges in Badrang's chair, quaffing his wine and consuming his food. He and his [[Seascarab|crew]] laugh at Badrang's miscalculation.

Martin and his companions get moving again, however the Gawtrybe have returned and surrounded them, insisting that they participate in a twisted game involving their lives. Martin convinces the squirrels to give the travelers a head start, and they begin climbing the mountain. The Gawtrybe pursues them.

===Official Synopsis===
Trapped in the tunnel, the slaves are able to make a huge effort and break out. Martin defeats Wakka, whose tribe abruptly vanishes into the forest ahead of them. The friends press on towards the towering mountain and discover that Martin is wounded; they stop to tend to him and wonder what is going to be set upon them next. At Marshank, Badrang discovers the escape and, assuming Clogg is somehow behind it, rushes off to find him. Outside Marshank, Clogg discovers that his attempt to assassinate Badrang failed and is amazed to find himself approached by Badrang seeking a truce in order to recapture the escapees.

Brome and Felldoh discover the dangerous truce and attempt to get the slaves to safety by scaling the huge cliffs as the pirates give chase where they barely escape! Defeated, Badrang returns to Marshank where Clogg, unaware of Badrang's return, has installed himself as the victor. Martin recovers from his wounds but the brave warriors are soon in danger again as the Gawtrybe attack, insisting on playing a deadly game of chase. The friends climb up to a small ledge-- but relief is short lived as the shrieking squirrels begin to scramble up in pursuit.
