Felldoh's Revenge

Felldoh's Revenge is the eleventh episode of Season 3 and the thirty-seventh episode overall of the Nelvana Redwall TV Series.

Summary

Laterose of Noonvale, Martin the Warrior, Grumm Trencher, and Pallum finally arrive at Noonvale. Boldred joins them as they enter the commune. The travelers meet Rose's parents, Urran and Aryah Voh, and they all wonder what has become of Brome.

Outside Fort Marshank, Brome, Felldoh, and a cohort of escaped slaves prepare to attack. Inside, Tramun Clogg fills in the prison pit and looks on as the assault on the fort begins. The slaves hurl fiery javelins into Marshank, igniting it. Felldoh takes Juniper and a small group around the fort, while Brome and Ballaw De Quincewold remain on the other side. Felldoh's group unleashes sling stones at Badrang the Tyrant's army; Badrang's archers return fire, hitting Juniper.

Boggs sights another group approaching Marshank, and Badrang again orders his archers to fire. They end up slaying Hisk and his accompaniment as they were returning. Ballaw suggests to Brome and Felldoh that now might be the time to leave, and they witness Juniper die. Felldoh angrily carries Juniper's body.

At Noonvale, a celebration commences. Martin asks Urran and Aryah if he can recruit fighters from the Noonvale residents, and they allow it.

Clogg mocks Badrang for killing his own troops, so Badrang makes him dig graves for the deceased.

Barkjon eulogizes Juniper, as Felldoh vows revenge for his death. Brome expresses concern for Felldoh's behavior to Barkjon.

The Vohs ask Martin to hang up his sword while he's in Noonvale, and he complies. Urran warns Rose that a relationship with Martin could have dire consequences.

Inside Marshank, Clogg again observes Badrang's soldiers getting attacked. Felldoh assaults the fort on his own. Badrang loses it on his troops as they fall under siege.

The Rambling Rosehip Players perform for the escaped slaves, and Felldoh joins them. He indicates that he'll be going to bed early and departs.

Martin explains his need to defeat Badrang to Aryah. He pledges to defend Rose.

Fleabane leads Badrang's horde members in digging right outside of Marshank, setting up a trap.

Felldoh stocks up on javelins and supplies as Brome and Keyla observe. They follow him.

Badrang tells Fleabane to prepare as they spot Felldoh approaching. He then walks outside and challenges Felldoh directly. The pair duel, with Felldoh disarming Badrang, grabbing Martin's sword, and threatening him. Badrang unveils the trap - soldiers emerge from the ground and surround Felldoh as Brome and Keyla watch from a distance.

Boldred flies into Noonvale, having communicated with Barkjon. She reveals that the Fur and Freedom Fighters need help. Martin asks for Noonvalers to step up and join him, and several do. Aryah returns Martin's sword to him.

Official Synopsis

Rose leads Martin and the others to Noonvale, where they are welcomed by her father Urran Voh and learn that Brome has not made it back home. Unknown to them, Brome is attacking Marshank and a terrible battle is engaged. Badrang accidentally fires upon his own crew and Felldoh, heartbroken at the death of a young mouse, swears revenge. Something terrible is happening to the once peaceful Felldoh, which deeply troubles Brome. Urran Voh too is troubled when Martin wants to use his creatures to return and attack Marshank. Rose is warned of Martin by her worried parents.

At Marshank, Badrang tries to rally his frightened troops under javelin fire while Clogg craftily hides out of sight. Felldoh returns to camp, after his single-handed battle, with a strange and troubling levity. He seems to have made his mind up about something that he will not reveal. He creeps from the camp, followed by the very troubled Brome and Keyla. They watch in horror as Felldoh attacks Marshank alone, unaware that he is walking into a deadly trap. At Noonvale, to her parent's dismay, Rose announces she will follow Martin, whatever the cost.

Differences from Martin the Warrior

• In the book, Juniper is killed when he jumps up after he hit a guard. In the series, he's killed when he is running away and drops his sling.
• The mouse Yarrow doesn't appear in this episode.
• The Custard Pie skit and the Periwinkle Parade skit are never shown in the episode.
• In the book, Tullgrew watches Felldoh with Brome and Keyla.
• In the book, Felldoh kills 20 enemies at Marshank, and he beats Badrang with a javelin. This does not occur in the episode.
• Felldoh never wields Martin's sword in the book. His line "I'll be sure to give this back to its rightful owner, once I'm finished with it." does not appear in the book either.

Trivia

• At the end of the episode, Martin shouts the Fur and Freedom Fighter's battle cry. But at the time, Martin didn't know of their existence, so he also couldn't have known their yell.
• Rose introduced Martin, Grumm, and Pallum to her parents. However, Grumm was a resident of Noonvale, and an old friend of her family.
• Boldred references a conversation with Barkjon. This does not happen on screen. It wasn't even communicated that she went to seek him out.
