The Return of Clogg

The Return of Clogg is the second episode of Season 3 and the twenty-eight episode overall of the Nelvana Redwall TV Series.

Summary

Hisk alerts Badrang the Tyrant of Tramun Clogg's arrival; Badrang instructs Hisk to invite Clogg and his corsairs into Fort Marshank. Keyla, disguised as a member of Badrang's Army, provides intel to Martin the Warrior, Brome, and Felldoh.

Badrang allows Clogg to enter Marshank, and the pair quickly disputes one another's stories about how they treated each other in the past. Clogg reveals that he's there for the slaves, but Badrang subdues him. Clogg and his corsairs retreat out of the fortress, with Clogg vowing to one day take down Badrang.

Keyla provides food to Martin, Brome, and Felldoh in the prison pit, and the trio makes a request of him.

Laterose of Noonvale and Grumm Trencher observe the departure of Clogg's corsairs, and exchange information with Keyla via song.

Skalrag pursues Clogg, but can't seem to find him.

Keyla consults with Barkjon, Hillgorse, and the other Marshank slaves on how to help the prison pit captives, and they decide to provide them with more rations. Druwp rejects their plan.

Rose and Grumm think about how to communicate with Keyla, who provides the trio with additional food. To prevent his efforts from being detected, he informs Badrang's soldiers that they're all afflicted with an illness. Brome yells at the top of his lungs to convince the vermin, as well as alert Rose to his presence. Rose performs her eagle cry in response. As Badrang's horde become annoyed with Brome's yelling, he takes advantage of the moment to provide a message to Rose on how to help them. Grumm begins digging a rescue tunnel.

Skalrag reports back to Badrang, who encourages him to work faster on the construction of Marshank. He then detains Druwp, who provides him with details as to the slaves plans. Barkjon spots Druwp returning to his bunk late.

In the dead of night, Clogg and his crew approach Marshank in an effort to surprise Badrang.

Official Synopsis

As Martin and his new friends languish in Marshank's Prison Pit, Rose and her companion Grumm hide from Tramun Clogg's advancing seaborne corsairs. Badrang and Clogg finally meet, pretending to be the other's friend, but they both soon skirmish and Clogg retreats, intending to take Marshank from his rival. As Badrang posts extra guards, the news reaches Martin. Rebellion is planned among the slaves-- but there is a traitor in their midst-- Druwp, a surly bankvole who plans to betray them to Badrang. Outside, Grumm conspires with Rose to tunnel to their rescue.

Druwp identifies the slave ringleaders. Meanwhile in the prison pit, Brome tells of his and Rose's home-- the idyllic region called Noonvale. If his father the chief can be alerted, he will surely rescue them. Grumm continues to dig hard to complete the tunnel. Under the cover of Clogg's battle against Badrang, Grumm breaks into the Prison Pit and Martin, Brome and Felldoh escape-- but have to leave the others behind. How will they ever get them out?
