Story
Official Synopsis
A whimsical adventure game based on the bestselling Redwall books. Set in the winter shrouded wilderness between Lilygrove and Redwall Abbey, help Liam or Sophia race for help from the raiding rats under Cheesethief's command.
Summary
The events of The Scout play out along the ancient, but now altered, course of the mighty River Moss. What was once a wide river is now the sunken bed of a seasonal creek that that runs east-west between Redwall Abbey and the Great South Stream that feeds the swamps south and east of Salamandastron. The player must find a way through the confusing snow-covered channel punctuated by occasional hedgerows, ancient stone walls, scattered shacks, and the few-and-far-between hearths of friendly woodlanders.
The Scout is best understood as a stealth-adventure game set in the winter before the Summer of the Late Rose. It tells the story of a mouse who is driven to Redwall Abbey when sea rats raid the peaceful village of Lilygrove. The events of The Scout play out along the ancient, but now altered, course of the mighty River Moss. What was once a wide river is now the sunken bed of a seasonal creek that that runs east-west between Redwall Abbey and the Great South Stream that feeds the swamps south and east of Salamandastron. The player must find a way through the confusing snow-covered channel punctuated by occasional hedgerows, ancient stone walls, scattered shacks, and the few-and-far-between hearths of friendly woodlanders.
Along the way there is untold adventure to include (of course) feasting, fiddling, and even a few fisticuffs as we meet Valo Scrimpaw, the mysterious stoat who lives in the Winsome Wraith, Scumsnout the murderous wearet and the mysterious, ghostly assistance when all seems lost.
Plot
Act I: Lilygrove
Sophia Ryemaid is a new recruit for the Lilygrove Scout Corps, and she attends Hilltop Camp to complete her training. However upon her graduation, Lilygrove, and a special party hosted by Liam Rivermouse, is attacked by sea rats, throwing the situation into chaos.
Sophia heads down towards Lilygrove to find Liam, but a large crew of sea rats is steadily making way towards the village. Sophia is unarmed, and not fully trained. She escapes into the Lilygrove Catacombs, where she finds Liam captured and injured by Scumsnout the Wearet. Sophia calls out Scumsnout to distract him, and the villain soon gives chase through Lilygrove. Sophia reaches the top of the village Lighthouse, and successfully lights it, however Scumsnout arrives too. Distracted by the light, he tosses her off the top.
