ROAD WORK

The Thunderpath beside the Clans is expanding. Soil is being overturned, removed to place asphalt concrete. Clan territory is untouched, but the noise is scaring off prey, making hunting harder as Leaf-fall inches toward Leaf-bare.

ThunderClan and SkyClan are becoming desperate. Without what little food they can get, there is no way their Clans can survive the winter. Though it is not ideal, they have only one choice: in order to preserve their Clan and prevent starvation, they must steal prey.

SkyClan is already aware their neighbor is weak, practically defenseless after the attack on the Dusk Syndicate camp. They can't protect their borders from the hungry patrols that trespass and steal prey. Grousestar and Auroraflame also instruct their warriors to hunt in the unclaimed territories that surround SkyClan. Anything to ensure the Clans' bellies are full. The Dusk Syndicate is infuriated by SkyClan's intrusion on their land. After attacks on the SkyClan hunting patrols fail, the Dusk Syndicate focuses their attention on recruitment to strengthen their numbers and ensure their next strike won't be in vain.

ThunderClan has noticed a decrease in ShadowClan patrols, and they instinctively begin to attempt hunting on the abandoned land. The territory remains considerably flooded however, and they are forced to look elsewhere. Knowing ShadowClan currently resides with RiverClan, Snowstar and Bubblestep decide the best course of action would be to steal from WindClan. With tensions already high between the Clans, it's the last thing Snowstar wants to do.

Eager to return to their home, Halestar sends out a patrol to check the flood levels. While investigating the damage, the patrol scents ThunderClan-- fairly fresh, and the tang of blood from killed prey. Agitated by the theft, the patrol reports their findings to Halestar.

WindClan patrols find evidence of prey remains and ThunderClan scent in their territory. The patrols inform Blazingstar immediately upon returning to camp, leaving the WindClan leader to ponder his next move.

Hey guys!

To spark up some Clan tensions and conflict once more, we're launching a mini-plot between the majority of factions on site. Note you do not have to participate in this plot, but the more the merrier!

We're going to have "open ended" patrols, meaning you can (but aren't required to) use the threads listed below to set up the ThunderClan, SkyClan, and the Dusk Syndicate patrols. You may also organize the WindClan patrol, but contact @Suspiciousmindz first to see if they're available for a meeting with Blazingstar. Those interested in participating in the ShadowClan patrol can apply for one of the slots, but please make sure you message @Jingle prior to having your characters talk to Halestar about the thefts to ensure she's available for roleplay.
