This is a weird point, but the vermin's unfeeling tendency towards death is the end of them. Most Redwallers, when they see someone die, they wail with grief and seem to think it is the end of the world, but then someone(usually the Friar), says that whoever died would be fighting right now, and they are spurred to greater efforts. This is a lot like Bloodwrath.
