Matthias and Constance the Badger saw Cluny and his evil band of rats traveling toward Redwall. He told the Abbot about it but they dismissed it because Cluny was a legend. However, Cluny came on a mission to talk to the Abbot for giving him Redwall. The Abbot denied him and they were seen out. Martin contacted Matthias through his mind and told him his tapestry was in danger. Matthias saw a rat stealing it but the rat got away. Matthias went on a search for the tapestry, trying to steal it back. There, he met Basil Stag, a hare who taught Matthias how to camouflage. He went to a sentry troop and while Basil distracted the rats he tried to see where the tapestry was, but it wasn't there. Redwall itself was about to be sneaked into. Cluny tried to use a plank to get over the Redwall wall, but Constance the badger flung the plank injuring Cluny and the weasel who thought the idea up. Cluny hired a fox named Sela to heal him. Sela decided to double-cross Cluny to get money from the plunder of Redwall from him and to sell plans of attack to Redwall. Meanwhile, Matthias and Methuselah, two mice, tried to solve a riddle to find the sword of Martin the Warrior. they solved 3 riddles to find the sword belt and shield of Martin, but they had yet to find the sword. Following another riddle, they put the shield in a slot at 1:00 in the morning. The shield reflected the moonlight to the weather vane. When a squirrel went to get it, they found it was taken from the place. Even worse, the squirrel was attacked by sparrows. They accidentaly shot down a little sparrow named Warbeak. The Abbot healed her but Warbeak was ungrateful. Matthias took the sparrow to the roof to return her, but Matthias was captured while the bird was back with his own kind. At Cluny's camp, he ordered Sela and her son to be killed for betraying them. At the sparrow's nest, Matthias was spared and kept as a pet for Warbeak. After a long while, he found out the king sparrow had the scabbard of Martin's sword. Back at Cluny 's camp, Jess the squirrel and Basil stole the tapestry back. Martin stole the scabbard, found out the whereabouts of the sword, and fled. At Redwall, Chickenhound the fox ( he survived his execution at Cluny's camp) stole things from Redwall, killed Methuselah, and hid in a hole. Unfortunately, it was the home of an adder named Asmodeus, who killed him. After a brief rest in Redwall, Matthias set out to find the whereabouts of the snake who holds the sword. On the way, he met shrews who helped him, a cat, and an owl. After finding the snake hole, he killed the snake with help from Martin and stole the sword. When he arrived back in Redwall, most animals had already been caught. Matthias, shrews, and sparrows freed them and they all attacked together, decimating the rats and defeating them.
