Oh yes, Viscum's presence is definitely going to bring the whole situation on a different level. ;) And I think I can say without spoilers that there's no hidden motives to Conrad's decision to go to Redwall. It's pretty much what he had said - him wanting to visit the Abbey for a long time. Besides, Redwall is famous for its hospitality, so he can expect to be welcomed.
