As Cluny and his troops perpare to attack on Redwall again, Basil and Jess, followed by Matthias, battle Cluny and try to retake the tapestry.
Matthias, swinging on a rope to get it, is nearly stabbed by the rats, but is covered by Jess in the treetop, and Basil on the ground.
Sucessful, the tapestry is sewn back on, and everyone is happy.
With the tapestry back, Basil, Jess and Matthias look at the tapestry, and find out how to get Martin's sword.
This is where we will soon meet Captin Snow, Basil's old friend.
Refusing Basil's help Matthias, knowing that he cannot endanger Basil or anyone else, decides to strike out on his own. Basil gives him a medal that Snow once gave him for having his life saved, and warns Matthias to be careful.
Along the way, Matthias accidentally bumps into shrews that call themselves the Gowsym, and claim that Moss-flower land is private.
Trying to pass, Matthias is stopped again by the shrews, and after hearing Matthias out, the shrews assist him to find the lost sword.
They then reach a barn, where they think Snow lives.
