Riddle me this… [Herb Gathering Event]
 

Event [#event]


｡ﾟﾟ･｡･ﾟﾟ｡
ﾟ。 Mossfreckle (ShC)
　ﾟ･｡･ﾟ they/he ~ medicine cat apprentice

White tipped paws stepped in front of the Shadowledge, feathery tail lashed with excitement and irritation - a tête-à-tête of naïveté coated eagerness and irritation at the messiness of the last round of patrols… did Shadowclan have such little pride nowadays that such lackadaisical behaviour was something that these felines did not spite holding deep within their hearts as if it was ingrained into their very beings… pitiful… This event would be good for them though, make up for the lack of patrol gatherings, teaching the future of the clan what new things to not put in their mouths and testing the aptitude of the older while getting much needed herbs for their stockade. ”All of Shadowclan gather at my paws, the freckled herbalist yowled, oriental shaped form shifting to a standing position, ”In lieu of doing a round of patrols this time around, we will be having an herb gathering riddle event and for the little ones of the clan I will be giving a lesson on dangerous herbs, new things we should not put in our maws,” his calm tones held a weight of authority but softened when he called for the little ones of the clan, they were nor ever had been the root of his current irritation. Mossy hues settled on the gathering felines, ”kits will come with me and warriors will be going out into the territory to gather the herbs, apprentices are encouraged to participate as well, however, no apprentice should leave camp alone so find your mentor or another warrior - no warrior should be taking more than two additional apprentices, three in total if you have an apprentice of your own. If there is any issues with such, speak to me and we can work something out,” Mossfreckle continued on, ”Once enough of you lot gather around I will give you your first riddle.”

~ The Rules ~

• You will need to post your character joining the event, you can join at anytime but for kit lessons I would prefer that you join sooner than later so that they gain the all the knowledge.

• I will post the riddles in the thread and you will figure out the needed herb and make a post of your cat gathering the correct herb - in this thread. I will provide a description of the herb IC so that your character can gather the needed herbs, however, OOC you are free to ask me for hints, look through Mossfreckle’s training tracker, or do research of your own to figure out what the herb is. IC if your character does not know that herb make an OOC note of the correct herb and have your character gather it simply by description, if you know the answer to the riddle OOC then your cat gathering by description will be gathering the correct herb.

• You will be given a certain number of days depending on the difficulty of the riddle, when that time is up I will have Mossfreckle IC say the answer and congratulate those who gathered the proper herbs - there will be no punishments if you miss a round or get the answer wrong, this is simply for fun and to gather herbs in lieu of the usual patrols.

• One post per person in this thread per Mossfreckle post to keep it getting cluttered, please.

• I will keep points - 1 for each proper herb gathered - and the person with the most points by the end of the event will get art by me of a character of their choice; if there is a tie I will do a raffle of all those tied. Those who participate in the kit side of the event will be put in a raffle and I will pick about two users to get art - dependent on how many participants there are.

[Fogwatcher]
ShadowClan Warrior
Flock Together [T1] | Bilingual [T1] | The Collector

Ooooh, the pretty kitty was calling.

Fogwatcher was one of the first to show up. His eyes were bright with determination and challenge for this event. Although, he had little to no herbal knowledge, so this wasn't going to go very well, but damn he'd still try! Anything to try and impress Mossy!

The splotched silver tom took a seat close to Mossfreckle, blinking a greeting and hoping that the medicine cat would notice him despite the crowd that would soon be gathering around them.



There was no way the eager little kitten would be missing this! This was her mama's friend! The other medicine cat! She wanted to learn some cool stuff like her mama! Maybe her siblings didn't like her or what she did for the clan, but that was their loss. She thought her mama was pretty cool though and she was starting to understand just how important she was to the clan!

Rainkit was determined to be important one day too! Perhaps important enough that her family would interact with her more. Important enough that she might find some friends. Important enough that she wouldn't feel so lonely anymore.

Moonmeadow
| She/they | ShC warrior | Moons: 21 | Purrks: Shadow Fiend |

Moonmeadow flicked her rounded ears in the direction of a yowl cutting across camp, now when they turned their sickly green eyes towards the noise in a slight panic, the words actually being said not fully processing in their mind as they lifted their head up from the mossy nest they were laying on. They gathered themself on shadowy paws and exited the warriors’ den to see Mossfreckle, the shy little thing, announcing a sort of game in lieu of more patrols. More patrols? There was just a round of them, Moonmeadow being on one…that must mean that not many actually returned. The warrior took a deep breath, honestly they should add patrol expectations and responsibilities to apprentice requirements. It certainly will be for their apprentices. Speaking of, Shadowpaw, while technically not theirs, but basically was, said she really liked herb patrols so Moonmeadow made a note to find her before turning to peer around camp for her actual apprentice. Scratchpaw, she wasn’t so sure if the little tom would like the event but it was still good practice that Moonmeadow would like him to have. They could be a little team.

They walked across camp as they shook the sleepiness from their too heavy coat and wiped a paw briefly along their eyes, her head aching at the bright lights so suddenly but nothing that would keep them from helping out the clan. Shadowpaw and Scratchpaw could find them if they wanted to join, they were pretty noticeable after all. A kit lesson would be good as well, maybe teaching the importance of herbs and safety earlier would make em listen a bit better. They settled near the medicine cat apprentice and looked up at him, curiously waiting for the other cats of the camp to join to hear this riddle. Their head drooped just a bit before they shook it to clear the final remnants of sleepiness from it. “Good practice, though I won’t have much luck with the riddles, didn’t get a whole lot of herb lessons outside of descriptions for patrols.” It was muttered to no one in particular but the shadowy feline figured this would be as good a time as any to learn.

Ashkit
| He/him | ShC kit | Moons: 2 | No purrks |

Ashkit looked up from where he was picking at some of shrubs that lined the clearing in boredom and back towards teh main part of the clearing as the sound of loudness entered his ears. It was the cat from…the place…he talked about herbs and how kits should join. Ashkit almost didn’t want to, what if he was made to have to go inside the place. The kit’s oddly wide eyes moved from the cat and over to the place. The jagged entry, the weird smells, the badness. It reminds him of his dream, he doesn’t like that dream. The kit shivered just from the brief thought. In his dreams, he is always caught once he goes into that place. Mama says it's the medicine den, where sick and hurt cats went to get better but it must mean bad things that so many hurt cats went there. Though at the same time…Ashkit was curious and bored.

After fighting with himself for a bit, Ashkit finally got to his paws and made his way over to the gathering group of cats. Settling a bit away from everyone. He was curious but he still refused to go near that place. The bad place. His eyes stayed wide, and stubborn, on the cat that called them to gather. He was interesting enough, the kit supposes.
[Ashkit has a weird thing about the medicine den because he has nightmares that kind of revolve around it?]

Quietkit
Shadowclan kit

A herb event? Peculiar. Quietkit didn't harbour much of an interest in herbs, well, at least not yet anyways, but her mother was a medicine cat so she guessed she was inclined to study them? Oh well, mabye it'd be useful. Stalking over, the young she-kit sat herself down near the back of the crowd, away from everyone else.


Darkcloud
Shadowclan warrrior
Purrks: Just a scratch and Shadow fiend(both inactive)

Darkcloud immediately gathered at Mossfreckle's call at gathering herbs, finally some work to bury herself into. Being the workaholic that she was Dark would jump at any chance she got to help out wiith any tasks that needed doing but she had been unbelievably this last half-moon since she hadn't seen her friend, friend? It felt weird to call him a friend, acquaintance, Shadefrost, in quite a while and he was usually the only cat she willingly spoke too. Oh well guess he was just strangely busy. Settling down in the shadows, she eagerly awaited to start.

Willowpaw padded over, she knew virtually nothing about herbs, but she could probably go off description pretty well. And of course riddles were fun!

WisteriaCrescent had been lounging in the sun when she heard the distant call of MossFreckle. Without a moment's hesitation, she sprang to her feet and dashed over to the source of the call. When she arrived at Shadowledge, WisteriaCrescent saw MossFreckle perched precariously on the edge of a steep drop. With a relieved purr WisteriaCrescent took a moment to dust off her silky white coat, then turned to face the group. Perhaps she'd take TurtlePaw out.

starlingstreak

welcome back to the show.

today, the amazing, incredible, glorious starling was going live, broadcasting her most recent victory of whatever the hell this was. it was a game, certainly, and she excelled at games. at least, the ones in her head were always so easy to win (certainly it wasn't because she made up the answers). it didn't matter if this was her first time doing a riddle or whatever, she'd win. and if she didn't she'd make her failure a spectacle, something just as entertaining as a conquest. slinking over to mossfreckle, she sat with a contented smile. ready to begin.

Mistlewhisker
ShadowClan Enforcer
she/her | 38 moons
[Large black cat with a half white muzzle and pale green eye (left gouged out)]
Purrks: Beefed Up T3
· · ────────────── · ·
[Mossfreckle - @Fawn<3 ]
[please note I am only pinging because Mistle is bringing requested items]
· · ────────────── · ·
Mistlewhisker padded into camp just as Mossfreckle called the clan together, her mouth very gently wrapped around a leaf with several extremely dangerous herbs wrapped in it. The molly had taken great care gathering what Mossfreckle had asked her for, trying to keep everything intact. The enforcer padded up to Mossfreckle, carefully placing the bundle at his paws. "Here are the herbs you asked for." She meowed quietly. "I'm certain I don't need to remind you that some of these kits have a habit of putting things in their mouths, and might try something even if you tell them not to. If you need help, don't hesitate to call."

[Mistlewhisker delivered +2 deathberry, +2 nightshade]

Oh yo, what's this? Mossfreckle was running an event! Hillstrider padded over, curious as to what it was about. It sounded kind of difficult, if he was being honest. He really wasn't that smart, but he could use a little more activity around the clan, so he might as well try! He waved his tail at Mossfreckle in greeting from where he sat at the edge of the crowd.

Birdkit

Oh! Oh oh oh! An event? For kits? That's incredible! Amazing! Exciting! AND FRECKLE IS RUNNING IT!!!! Birdkit streaked out of the nursery and towards her beloved big brother, almost slamming into his side when she arrived. She beamed up at him, ready to learn. Or do Birdkit's equivalent of learning, which is stare absently into space while information goes in one ear and out the other.

Re: Riddle me this… [Herb Gathering Event]
 

Her tattered ears turned towards the yowl that bounced around the camp. She lifted her head from her paws and peered at the one yowling. Mossfreckle. Dawnstar got up from where she was resting and leaned into a stretch. She could hear joints popping and stood straight again. She listened to the medicine cat chatter as she vigorously shook her body, flinging bits of pine from her coat.

All she gathered from this event was that they would be hunting herbs with side lessons for kits. Dawnstar debated returning to her den or participating. Doubting she could return to resting, she padded over to the rest of the cats gathering and sat down. She didn't mind roaming around, looking for herbs if it helped the clan. She wasn't crazy about this riddle thing, but whatever she was sure they'd figure it out. With the warmer weather, it was the perfect time for this. She highly doubted there was much if any progress with patrols. So she figured she should put in the work to fix that.

On a hotter day, she should see about holding a frog-hunting event. With the lynx gone, playing in the mud could be fun, and she did want to see how well some of these cats could hunt frogs. Dawnstar, pulling small pine needles that poked pink scar tissue, proceeded to groom old scars, and waited for this little game to begin.

She/Her | Purrks Overlook

Quietly, a mere specter on the wind, Lostspark took her head at the head of her den. She would oversee Mossfreckle's event from afar - he had mentioned it to her, gotten her approval and whatnot beforehand. To Lostspark, it was another test to see if he had his herbs straight, now that she was done teaching him all she knew - all she had learned from Elmshadow and then on her own afterward.

Lostspark didn't intend to intervene unless something went dreadfully wrong. She was merely here to spectate, and she'd be lying if she said something akin to pride didn't spark in her chest as she watched Mossfreckle handle this on his own.

Bleedingkit
Shadowclan Kit | He/Him | 2 Moons | Just a Scratch


Wow there was so much going on in this clan! Activities were abound and Bleedingkit was never bored! And even if these were actually lessons just twisted to be games then the little tom hardly minded, they were fun and he was already determined to be the best at all that he could!

.....He had to put all this extra effort in to catch up to his peers, they being unhindered by disability.

It wasnt something that dragged the pretty bengal down however, and he quickly wobbled his way over, looking around to find someone to sit by. There was another kit that looked good, maybe a potential friend to the hopeful little tom and, stumbling about as was typical for him Bleedingkit moved over to Ashkit with a grin, greeting him. "Hey! Im Bleedingkit! Who's you, nice to meet!" The words were choppy, typical of a kit learning to speak fully but even as his head involuntarily bobbled around he remained focused on Ashkit, a single ear on Mossfreckle.

Shadowpaw walked over with a kitten in her mouth. Wispkit was getting a little big for her to do this now but she figured it was good exercise while she could still do it. Wispkit was not happy at all. He wanted to stay in the nursery and say fowl words about his parents under his breath but noooo Shadowpaw had to always drag him out of the nursery. This just made him want to bite the apprentice in annoyance. Yet he didn't—All that came out was an annoyed huff when he was put down.

"Come on play with the other kittens Wispkit, look over there its Ashkit. Maybe the both of you can figure out herbs together?" Shadowpaw said sweetly.

Wispkit gave her an annoyed look before walking up to Ashkit. "Herbs." He said flatly.

Re: Riddle me this… [Herb Gathering Event]
 


Without a word, Sleepykit arrived at the scene, listening to the medicine cat apprentice's words. At the mention of going out, blue eyes easily found her grandmama. And not far from her, her mama. Sleepykit wanted to go with them, and much as she wished to ask her grandmama to join her outside as she quietly padded over to the scarred feline, the better side of her mind warned the young kit that the knowledge of dangerous herbs could be of use; that she would have more opportunities to go out and gather herbs opposed to learning about the dangers of them. At least, she didn't want to take her mama away from too much to ask about them. Silently settling herself beside Dawnstar, glancing up at her grandmother before her eyes drifted towards her mama, Sleepykit decided to keep her maw closed, allowing herself to sit among those to learn of the dangerous herbs - in the hopes it would be of some use.

Re: Riddle me this… [Herb Gathering Event]
 
Salamanderkit joined, sitting timidly near the back, hiding from the big and scary cats and anything that might want to eat her. The only other time the moon old kit had left the nursery was to play a hide and seek game and outside was just as scary to the timid one moon old kit as it had always been. She guessed learning which herbs not to eat ever would be useful. Even if she had to leave the old, nice and safe nursery and brave the new, unwelcoming and scary outside to do it... Even if the cat teaching them was a strange, big, and scary cat...

Twistedkit joined. She felt too old to be learning about herbs not to eat with the other kits, especially conidering that the only one of her littermates that she had seen around recently had been an apprentice for around a moon but she would have to deal with it because she was still ranked as a kit. Had she done something bad without knowing? Was that why she was still a kit stuck in the camp while Sharppaw got to be an apprentice and leave camp? It was the only reason that Twistedkit could come up with for why she was still a kit when Sharppaw had been an apprentice for a whole moon.

Spiderpaw joined, the massive nine moon old apprentice who had six toes on each paw searching for a warrior who was willing to take her out of camp. She remained next to 'Little'paw, hoping that they would be able to find a warrior willing to take both of them out, as the two litermates were inseparable.

Eaglepaw joined, the nine moon old searching for a warrior to take her out.

Flamepaw joined, the nine moon old tom searching for a warrior to take him out.

Littlepaw joined with Spiderpaw. Despite his name the tailless nine moon old was nearly as large as his massive sister. He searched for a warrior to take him out, hopefully with Spiderpaw cause the nervous tom didn't want to be separated from his sister. (All open, especially the four apprentices)

｡ﾟﾟ･｡･ﾟﾟ｡
ﾟ。 Mossfreckle (ShC)
　ﾟ･｡･ﾟ they/he ~ medicine cat apprentice

Mossy hues settling on the felines gathering before him, the lot of them was not too measly of a group but he had hoped that more of the clan would get off their asses and do something useful - but there was still time and at least lots of kits seemed to take interest… the future seemed bright for Shadowclan even if most of the older cats seemed set in their lackadaisical ways. Mistlewhisker had at least done her job, he had expected no less of her and of course she had failed to sour his impression of her… it seemed that some cats still held the honourable ways of Shadowclan, but in the end the enforcers where the epitome of what a Shadowclan warrior should or should strive to be - with the leaf carefully guarded beneath his paws, deadly herbs stored away from any curious kits eager to figure out what things where with their maws rather than their minds. Speaking of kits, before Mossfreckle could even take a step to announce the first round and herb the kits to then mouth of the medicine den Birdkit the clans beloved ark army commander and princess came barrelling towards his freckled oriental form and skidding to a stop narrowly avoided the herbalist lanky legs. Carful to keep Birdkit and the lethal herbs apart Mossfreckle sat, a white tipped paw scooping her between his paws - off kilter slightly so as to be away from Mistlewhisker’s delivered poisons - and a calm yowl slipped from his maw as he curled his whit tipped feathery tail around his little bird, more appreciative of her calming presence as anxiety pricked his pelt … he could not mess this up with not only his lithe grey mentor watching but Dawnstar too… ”Warrior and apprentices lend me your ears,” the medicine cat apprentice called, ”the first riddle is this - barely seen by most, but I’m a home for some - and the herbs description is silken threads, this should be quite an easy one to start us off, turning the younger ones who would be staying in camp the herbalist continued on, ”and for you little ones, we will be heading to the medicine den to begin our lessons. Fogwatcher would you like to help me with the kits?” Finished with what he had to say, freckled oriental shaped form stood and bobbed his angular head down to gently pick his lethal bundle up from the earth while his white tipped paws guided Birdkit towards the medicine cats den - in all honesty he was quite nervous about the combination of kits and poisonous herbs so he had asked Fogwatcher to accompany him and be an extra set of paws and eyes in the battle between kits and their primal urge to put new things in their mouths.

* All post will be made in this thread with a mention of where they are headed if you chose a place other than Shadowclan Territory for apprentices and up and the medicine den for kits
* IC your cat can find herbs based off of the description, I fully understand that some of these herbs will be unknown to your character. To get a point all you need to do is put your answer in brackets in bold at the top of your post, if the herb is correct OOC your character will net + 1 of such and you will get a point.
* Please only post once between each Mossfreckle post regarding to your task - for apprentices and warrior this will be returning and waiting for the next riddle for kits it will be going with Mossfreckle to the medicine cat’s den and then once per each lesson.
* You can join at anytime but if you are an apprentice and up you need to wait for the next riddle (round two) to participate, for kits you have until the first lesson post to join - just make a note you are joining in the den (IC Mossfreckle would prefer that participating kits attend all the lesson, however)
* Please note that IC Mossfreckle will scold kits who try to put the herbs in their mouth, these herbs are dangerous and will kill your kit your kit if consumed, if you are looking to do suck please seek other mean as this event is meant for clan engagement and not as a way to dispose of unwanted characters.

Twistedkit followed Mossfreckle to the medicine den, her twisted front leg, which was held just off the ground not slowing the apprentice-aged kit down at all. She still felt too old to be learning about herbs not to eat with other cats who were ranked as kits, all probably younger and smaller than her. She was pretty sure this was because kits often want to put everything in their mouths. She might still be ranked as a kit but she was too old to put random stuff in her mouth.

Salamanderkit timidly followed the strange, big, and scary cat to the medicine cat den, the moon old, who was tiny even for such a young kit remaining at the back, too scared and nervous to be any closer to the strange, big and scary cat then necessary. Maybe he wouldn't see her behind all of the other kits cause she was pretty sure she was the smallest and possibly the youngest as well. She hoped that he wouldn't cause he was big, scary and new. She didn't like things that were new or scary. Big by itself was fine. It was the scary and new part that were really the problem, though the big part did make him quite a bit more scary.

she/they / shadowclan apprentice / mood switches



The multi colored cat shuffled her paws nearby the other cats. They weren't going to join, they didn't know much about herbs, let alone riddles! But...once the first riddle was announced, she perked up. "Wait, I know this one!!" she thought, their blue eyes shining. She resisted the urge to shout out loud but her paws tapped excitedly. Next round, they would join them and hopefully she gets the riddles as much as she got this one.

Mothcloud looked at her daughter fondly. "Have fun, don't feel intimidated by being the older of the kits." Mothcloud purred gently

Dawnstar's head turned as soon as she noticed the little hairball seated by her like she belonged there. Dawnstar greeted Sleepykit with the softest flick of her tail tip across the kit's ear and the faintest smirk. Sleepykit had yet to be ousted as Dawnstar's favorite grandkid, she would gather more favorites in time, but Sleepykit was the most favored favorite. Outside of being a rather calming presence, she found the hairball's quietness and maturity endearing. She reminded Dawnstar much of Lostspark and a bit of Roanpaw, the latter of whom she still missed much to her resentment.

The leader's ears jerked to attention as soon as she heard the Mossfreckle start his little game. She'd say that this was a relatively easy one, but she didn't want to be overconfident here. Still, if she was correct she assumed they'd get harder as they progressed especially if cats were unfamiliar with what they were looking for.

"Have fun with your lessons, Sleepykit." Dawnstar meowed to the kit after she was called away. The she-cat waited until the kit had gathered with the other kits in the medicine den, where she noticed Lostspark watching, before searching for cobwebs within the territory.

-one.

action!

the actress stared at the cat before her, smile widening as he began to speak his first riddle. she’d lend him all the ears he needed, so long as this started soon. and it did, yay! as he spoke, starling finally took the chance to look around at the gathered cats, brows furrowing ever slightly at the sight of lostspark and dawnstar. the chance of her winning was slipping away by the second, but so be it. she’d certainly learn something through this, and that would make it worthwhile. and maybe, just maybe, if she did well enough, she could catch the eye of someone who actually mattered. it would be nice to have friends in high places.

eyes flicked back to mossfreckle, nodding as he finished speaking. this would be simple. no problem, she was no fool. anyone with a brain would know what something barely seen but sometimes a home was. the silken threads may have tricked some cats, but starling had experienced walking into enough cobwebs to know what he was talking about. ha, life experience wins once again.

strolling into the territory, she began her newest saga by searching for cobwebs.

Quietkit
Shadowclan kit


Padding after Mossfreckle without any hesitation, Quietkit's plumy tail swished lackadaisically as she wondered what herbs she'd get to learn about. She knew she was going to see dangerous ones but which specifically? And would she even be allowed to get a good look at them? She detested her own curiosity but she knew she couldn't just force it to go away so she'd just have to try and ignore it and pay attention.


Darkcloud
Shadowclan warrrior
Purrks: Just a scratch and Shadow fiend(both inactive)

(Cobwebs)

Listening intently to the description of the herb she was tasked to gather, Darkcloud almost scoffed at the easiness of the so called riddle. Silken threads? This was child's play what else fit that description beside cobwebs? Honestly she'd hoped for more of a challenge even if she wasn't very good at herbs she knew the basics. Wasting no time, Darkcloud made her way towards the territory in her quest of gathering cobwebs.

(Cobweb)
Shrewstep arrived a bit late to the event Mossfreckle was hosting, fashionably late he'd call it, but was still in time to hear the first riddle. And it was an easy one, or so he thought. What herb provided a home, and was all stringy? It HAD to be cobwebs, didn't it? Plus, they were an herb he could remember being sent to get time and time again, both because it was so essential after a battle and because it was one of the few things the control freak that was Ebonyfang, no, Marigoldleap now, trusted him enough to handle. There were only so many ways one could botch up herb gathering, and cobwebs wasn't one of them. Or at least, he wasn't aware of anyone who had managed it beyond being somewhat entangled in the strands.

With his quarry set, and noticing quite a few apprentices who hadn't been picked up by warriors to take along with them (his own appeared to be absent), Shrewstep felt like he ought to lend a paw to a few of them. Apparently a cap had been placed on what one warrior could supervise (wisely, apprentices were often a disorderly lot), so he really just swept his gaze around until he saw a pair of them quite close together. If they were friends already, they must be to be so close, it would be a lot less hassle for him. He could only imagine the suffering any warrior who might have paired him and Frogfang together would have endured, and he wanted to avoid the same fate. Spiderpaw, Littlepaw! A paradoxical name, given the size of both apprentices. Come with me, and let's find........the thing Mossfreckle wants. He had almost said the name of their quarry, but had aborted the word at the last minute. Whew! A close one. With his orders given Shrewstep padded out of camp, trusting the apprentices at least enough to follow him. @Katiethewolfchild

Re: Riddle me this… [Herb Gathering Event]
 
Wispkit groaned, he didn't want to do anything at all. Stupid Shadowpaw pulling him out of the nursery. Then a thought ran across his little mind, Mossy was the only cat to show him kindness, maybe he should go with this. It would give him a chance to bite the medicine cat again. So with that being said he walked to the nursery.

Shadowpaw didn't take long to figure out what the riddle was. This was easy! She hoped the rest of the game would be as easy. So she searched for the little herb. The herb in question was those of the spider's. Cobwebs. She loved to play with stray spiders but got very upset at anyone that tried to stomp or eat them. They made valuable herbs for them!

ShadowClan Warrior

He wants my help?

Fogwatcher was a little appalled at first. He assumed his time was better spent retrieving herbs, but the pretty kitty wanted his help with kittens! Okay! He could gather up the kittens and have them trek along to Mossfreckle. "Kittens! Come along now! Mossfreckle has to give his second riddle out soon, but I can entertain you for the moment!" The splotched silver tom cheered.

The warrior grabbed a nearby stick, dragging it across the ground for them to chase if they so pleased. His tail was high in the air, away from their reach in case anyone wanted to chomp that. He knew better. He was that kit when he was younger. Fogwatcher would keep the stick just out of the grasp, speeding up or twisting his head so it was only a tease the kittens could hope to get. It would give Mossfreckle some time to gather the cobwebs from everyone and send them out to retrieve more herbs.




Rainkit was listening happily to the medicine cat speak. They were getting a private lesson! However, it seemed Mossy needed to take care of the second riddle, or at least that's what that spotted warrior said!

In his grasp, was her temptation. A stick. The tip of it was dragging along the ground and Rainkit found herself unable to resist. She bounded after Fogwatcher, her paws continually missing the wooden object as the warrior move it out of her reach. She was determined, though. She would get it!

Moonmeadow
| She/they | ShC warrior | Moons: 21 | Purrks: Shadow Fiend |

Moonmeadow listened carefully to the riddle as the medicine cat apprentice spoke before calling of the kits to medicine den. Hmm...well silken threads and a home to some must mean that its spiders' web right. Cobwebs must be it. The warrior was kind of glad that Mossfreckle started off with an easier one as her lack of experience has yet to show. Moonmeadow gathered her shadowy paws beneath them on the soil of the clearing and turned to where she saw Shadowpaw dropping off a kit among a group of others. "Shadowpaw! I think I know what it is. Let's head out and gather some." With the lack of Scratchpaw showing up, Moonmeadow was able to take another apprentice. "I can take another apprentice if anyone needs it."

Moonmeadow waited for any apprentices to join before leaving camp to swiftly find some cobweb trees or cobwebs in general. The warrior made quick work at gathering some and then waited for any accompanying felines to do the same before walking the group back to camp. That was a fun little trip, Moonmeadow thought that this was actually quite a great way to get cats to collect herbs for the stores. Though they really shouldn't need a game to get warriors, full grown warriors, to do their jobs. No matter. The warrior stopped and settled back down in the spot they had before they left for the cobwebs to listen for Mossfreckle's next riddle.

Ashkit
| He/him | ShC Kit | Moons 2 | No Purrks |

Ashkit turned his unblinking gaze from the strange cat that called the group together to the sound of someone suddenly being right next to him. The kit stared at the other kit, Bleedingkit, what a name. He was wobbly, like the earth was churning but only beanth his feet and no others. "I'm Ashkit..you're weird." He meant it as an observation, it was good to be weird and not be the same cat he has talked to since the beginning of forever. "We are friends now, alright?" It wasn't really a question though. Bleedingkit has gathered his attention and now Bleedingkit will just have to deal with Ashkit. As Ashkit opened his mouth to speak again, an apprentice that Ashkit was unfamiliar with dropped off another kit near them.

The kit simply said 'herbs.' that was very boring. Of course herbs, that was what the strange cat was talking about when he called everyone together. "Hmm, you're boring. Herbs are boring." The kit said plainly. Though he wasn't opposed to this new kit, they just weren't as interesting as Bleedingkit was. The strange cat was speaking, and he addressed the kits. They were supposed to go to the bad place. They were supposed to go to the bad place. They were- Ashkit would not! He shook his head aggressively and took a few paw steps back even as the other kits got up to follow the strange cat. They were all going to get caught and then they were all going to die. Ashkit knew this because of his dreams. He always got caught in the bad place.

"I am not going to bad place. I am...get-ting, going to get hplants from outside. Like the others!" Ashkit proclaimed as he turned to Bleedingkit and the other kits he doesn't know the name of, "You die in the bad place. So you can come with me!" The kit spoke to the others, not paying attention even as another warrior started to speak up about them, trying to catch all of the kits' attention.

She frowned, it didn't take too long for her to figure it out, but it was mostly ´Silken Thread´ that made it a lot easier. Now, to get that cobweb.
But she couldn't just go waltzing out off into the forest alone. She brainstormed as quick as she could, but not too many ideas popped up. Could she go a bit out of camp and maybe check if any cobwebs were close to camp? Or should she wait for a Warrior? She wanted to be sure it was alright, so she'd find a Warrior to go out of camp with. And that was easier said than done. She fidgeted nervously. Going up and asking a Warrior would be way to awkward, and waiting around for someone to help her might take much to long, the thought of going out alone didn't even make it to her little inner council it was so stupid. So she was sorta stuck. She sighed, she'd just have to wait, wouldn't she?

Bleedingkit
Shadowclan Kit | He/Him | 2 Moons | Just a Scratch


Some other kittens might have gotten kinda upset and insulted over the blunt observation of their disability. But Bleedingkit was indeed 'weird' and had spent his life before being dropped on shadowclan being pelted with much meaner words. So instead he just bobbled his head about, a bit more wobbly then a normal nod and grinned, chirping out a "Yep! My old-not anymore-mama said I was born wrong but Miss Dawn" Bleedingkit still wanted to call her Miss Tiger because she looked like a tiger! "say's I got potential Im just odd!"
Odd in smell as the kittypet scent on his fur faded, odd in looks as cashmere bengals were rare even among pure breeds, odd in movement and odd in personality.

And yet Ashkit wanted to be friends with him!

Shoving down a squeal the bengal kitten went tumbling to the ground as a happy wiggle turned into him being taken off his paws and flipped onto his back as a tremor sent him sprawling. Not that he seemed to care, twisting to look up at Ashkit "Yes! Friends now!" Bleedingkit had never had friends before and now he had lots like Brownkit, Fogkit, and his new siblings!



Oooooh Mossfreckle was calling them over! The tom squirmed his way to his belly and stumbled to his paws, ready to follow but Ashkit didnt seem interested cocking his head confused at him. "My new mama does herb stuff, she's boring not boring. And I was in there cuz I hit my nose and didnt die, the herbs were smelly though. Plus my nose was better after!" Though going outside to do the same activity as the big cats did sounds cool....


Bleedingkit hesitated, taking one big shaky step towards Ashkit and so the exit before looking back to glance at Fogwatcher and Mossfreckle and their gathering group of kits. Going outside was bad, right? Bleedingkit didnt wanna be a bad kit.....
Lucky for the conflicted bean that hesitation was juuuust enough to be noticed by the adults before bad decisions were made.

Event [#event]


｡ﾟﾟ･｡･ﾟﾟ｡
ﾟ。 Mossfreckle (ShC)
　ﾟ･｡･ﾟ they/he ~ medicine cat apprentice

Mossy hues watched as felines filtered in and out of the camp once they had figured out the first and easiest riddle, as to be expected Dawnstar had made quick work - in and out - of his riddle even though she seemed less than thrilled about the riddle aspect of his event… herbs where herbs in the end and he hoped more felines would get of their lazy asses and join in or he would have to send out more patrols and they would have consequences… Mossfreckle’s given time has passed and he turned to his clanmates who where gathering once more, ”To those of you who brought back the cobwebs, thank you. To those of you who did not there will be a few more round so join on in. Now, lend me your ears Shadowclan as I tell you your second riddle - Come forth for comfort, a soothing for the broken - and the description is a plant with large, fuzzy, oval leaves and clusters of drooping, tubular, pinky-purple flowers. This is a harder riddle and sown of you may have to go off of description alone and that is a-okay,” second riddle out of the way the herbalist turned to head towards Fogwatcher and the medicine cars den… luckily the white splotched silver tom was wrangling most of the kits… well most.

ROUND TWO ENDS 4TH OF APRIL

Stepping in front of the tenuous kit who was attempting to evade the medicine den, Mossfreckle peered down in an unintimidating way and spoke in soft, calm tones, ”The medicine den isn’t that scary little one, we won’t be going in anyway,” added was an ultimatum, ”if you still don’t want to come along that’s okay, I can walk you to the nursery and I’m sure another kit can give you the lesson,” he wasn’t going to force the kit to join but the lessons needed to start.

LESSON ONE

“Alrightyyyy little ones,” Mossfreckle purred as he looked at his gathered tiny pupils, ”the first lesson will be in Deathberries and I need you to not put things in your mouth, for your safety you can look but not touch these herbs,” warning out of the way he unbundled the leaf that Mistlewhisker had brought and pawed out a single lethal red berry - ever so carful to keep it within his own reach so that he could quickly place a white tipped paw over the berry incase of a rebellious maw eager to figure out the world - ”these red berries are called Deathberries and they are highly poisonous, even a single berry will lead to death… I know they may look like something that is edible but they are not… any questions,” his lessons would be short and catered to the shorter attention spans of kits, he wonky shared the necessary details rather than the full description and uses and such that he would give to an older cat seeking herbal knowledge - as his first lesson finished his mossy hues flicked over the group of kits to see if Ashkit had come or returned to the nursery as well as meeting momentarily with the lapis hues of Fogwatcher to offer him a soft smile and a silent unsaid thank you for his help.

* All post will be made in this thread with a mention of where they are headed if you chose a place other than Shadowclan Territory for apprentices and up and the medicine den for kits
* IC your cat can find herbs based off of the description, I fully understand that some of these herbs will be unknown to your character. To get a point all you need to do is put your answer in brackets in bold at the top of your post, if the herb is correct OOC your character will net + 1 of such and you will get a point.
* Please only post once between each Mossfreckle post regarding to your task - for apprentices and warrior this will be returning and waiting for the next riddle for kits it will be going with Mossfreckle to the medicine cat’s den and then once per each lesson.
* You can join at anytime but if you are an apprentice and up you need to wait for the next riddle (round two) to participate, for kits you have until the first lesson post to join - just make a note you are joining in the den (IC Mossfreckle would prefer that participating kits attend all the lesson, however)
* Please note that IC Mossfreckle will scold kits who try to put the herbs in their mouth, these herbs are dangerous and will kill your kit your kit if consumed, if you are looking to do suck please seek other mean as this event is meant for clan engagement and not as a way to dispose of unwanted characters.
* points will be tallied at the end of the event

Re: Riddle me this… [Herb Gathering Event]
 


She felt something faintly brush against her ear, prompting the kit to turn her head up towards her grandmama. Seeing the feline - her expression - a small smile briefly graced her maw before she was called away. Ears flicking, the kit watched as some warrior tried gathering together the other kits; something she did not want to be caught up in (she was perfectly capable of going to the medicine cat's den by herself, now, though she felt apprehensive about it for reasons she could not yet understand).
"Thank you."
The white-flecked kitten stated politely at her grandmama's words, giving a little nod as though to return the sentiment; though she wanted to say something in return, she thought better of wishing her grandmama luck - Dawnstar didn't need luck, this couldn't be difficult for her, Sleepykit was certain. Silently she told herself she would ask the large leader how the search went later - maybe if she could show, or at least tell, her about the territory too. But with that thought, she had to bid her grandmama farewell;
"..Until later, Miss Grandmama."
She said calmly before following the rest of the kits towards the den, as instructed.

[ @Undertaker ]

As she joined the group, she noted Mossfreckle speaking to a specific kit - Sleepykit only dully noted the kit's presence - behind her the familiar face of Nightshiver. She watched the queen for a little while, surprised she was here at all (it was a lesson for kits, after all) though unlike most, Sleepykit did not mind her presence. Tearing her eyes away from the familiar queen as the lesson began, she carefully studied the little red berry from a distance. So... This berry could kill them? A small shiver ran down her spine at the thought, and a question immediately came to mind. Soon followed by another, and another. Slightly raising a paw, she waited until Mossfreckle told her she could speak.
"What are the signs of consumption? And.. What if someone did eat it, what do you do?"


------


Nightshiver had been refreshing some nests within the nursery, mainly tacking out forgotten sticks kits would bring inside the den sometimes. Though she would often store them within a corner and if ignored for long enough, she'd move them outside again - apprentices could very well do this job, but the forever queen found herself taking care of these simpler tasks when the nursery had a moment of calm, something to occupy her mind and keep the place looking nice. She was had just poked her head outside, having noticed a certain amount of kits leaving the den and hearing the voice of their medicine cat apprentice; caught up within her thoughts, she hadn't taken notice of the event just yet. Seeing as it was in full swing, the white she-cat was uncertain about joining in now, so for the time being she simply watched to get an understanding of the happenings; something involving herbs, certainly, and assumingly some sort of patrols for the non-kits of the clan. She took note of the group of kits heading towards the medicine cat's den, except -- for a certain few. Her eyes watched the young kittens, one of which only recently joined, and the hesitance opposing the other's more determined-looking stance. Something was telling her these were not quite planning on joining the other kits; as a precaution, and true to her job, the gentle feline got up to quietly approach the little group, though it appeared Mossfreckle was just a bit faster than her. Eyes squinting as she stood just a tail's length away from the little group, she held back for a moment, softly nodding along.
"Moss..freckle is... ri..right. But,... if you'd.. like, I c-can... remain... nearby; nothing will... happen, all.. together."
She added gently, leaning down a little by the kit, offering the other two a soft smile, then Mossfreckle too. Though she hadn't directly interacted with this little pair of kits before, Nightshiver could most often be seen watching over and taking care of little tasks within the nursery - if anything, the forever queen could accompany any kits needing or wanting to take a leave back herself, instead of troubling Mossfreckle. Until then, her ears flickered back momentarily, giving the medicine cat apprentice a soft smile.
"I.. hope, you... d-don't mind... me sssitting.. in. for a .. little while."
She looked down at the children.
"If... anything, it may b-be.. good... to.. know. what... to watch... out.. for within... the nursery.."
She trailed off, feeling a bit nervous as she hoped this wasn't too forward; but her intention was only the comfort and safety of the kits.

Lightkit looked carefully, obeying the directions, if anything were to happen, she would blame herself.

Mossy hues watched as felines filtered in and out of the camp once they had figured out the first and easiest riddle, as to be expected Dawnstar had made quick work - in and out - of his riddle even though she seemed less than thrilled about the riddle aspect of his event… herbs where herbs in the end and he hoped more felines would get of their lazy asses and join in or he would have to send out more patrols and they would have consequences… Mossfreckle’s given time has passed and he turned to his clanmates who where gathering once more, ”To those of you who brought back the cobwebs, thank you. To those of you who did not there will be a few more round so join on in. Now, lend me your ears Shadowclan as I tell you your second riddle - Come forth for comfort, a soothing for the broken - and the description is a plant with large, fuzzy, oval leaves and clusters of drooping, tubular, pinky-purple flowers. This is a harder riddle and sown of you may have to go off of description alone and that is a-okay,” second riddle out of the way the herbalist turned to head towards Fogwatcher and the medicine cars den… luckily the white splotched silver tom was wrangling most of the kits… well most.

ROUND TWO ENDS 4TH OF APRIL

Stepping in front of the tenuous kit who was attempting to evade the medicine den, Mossfreckle peered down in an unintimidating way and spoke in soft, calm tones, ”The medicine den isn’t that scary little one, we won’t be going in anyway,” added was an ultimatum, ”if you still don’t want to come along that’s okay, I can walk you to the nursery and I’m sure another kit can give you the lesson,” he wasn’t going to force the kit to join but the lessons needed to start.

LESSON ONE

“Alrightyyyy little ones,” Mossfreckle purred as he looked at his gathered tiny pupils, ”the first lesson will be in Deathberries and I need you to not put things in your mouth, for your safety you can look but not touch these herbs,” warning out of the way he unbundled the leaf that Mistlewhisker had brought and pawed out a single lethal red berry - ever so carful to keep it within his own reach so that he could quickly place a white tipped paw over the berry incase of a rebellious maw eager to figure out the world - ”these red berries are called Deathberries and they are highly poisonous, even a single berry will lead to death… I know they may look like something that is edible but they are not… any questions,” his lessons would be short and catered to the shorter attention spans of kits, he wonky shared the necessary details rather than the full description and uses and such that he would give to an older cat seeking herbal knowledge - as his first lesson finished his mossy hues flicked over the group of kits to see if Ashkit had come or returned to the nursery as well as meeting momentarily with the lapis hues of Fogwatcher to offer him a soft smile and a silent unsaid thank you for his help.

* All post will be made in this thread with a mention of where they are headed if you chose a place other than Shadowclan Territory for apprentices and up and the medicine den for kits
* IC your cat can find herbs based off of the description, I fully understand that some of these herbs will be unknown to your character. To get a point all you need to do is put your answer in brackets in bold at the top of your post, if the herb is correct OOC your character will net + 1 of such and you will get a point.
* Please only post once between each Mossfreckle post regarding to your task - for apprentices and warrior this will be returning and waiting for the next riddle for kits it will be going with Mossfreckle to the medicine cat’s den and then once per each lesson.
* You can join at anytime but if you are an apprentice and up you need to wait for the next riddle (round two) to participate, for kits you have until the first lesson post to join - just make a note you are joining in the den (IC Mossfreckle would prefer that participating kits attend all the lesson, however)
* Please note that IC Mossfreckle will scold kits who try to put the herbs in their mouth, these herbs are dangerous and will kill your kit your kit if consumed, if you are looking to do suck please seek other mean as this event is meant for clan engagement and not as a way to dispose of unwanted characters.
* points will be tallied at the end of the event

Feel free to vm if you have any questions or concerns :heartbounce:

"If the deathberries are bad for you, why do you keep them in the herbs?" Skykit jumper up and down so she could be seen and heard because of her tiny size.

《 Windflowerpaw 》
5/100


she/they / shadowclan apprentice / mood switches



The apprentice burst onto her paws. Waiting time was over and she could join in on the fun! Windflowerpaw ran into the forest. They hadn't been introduced to Shadowclan territory yet so she tried her best to look close by. "Let's see..purple and pink droopy flowers.. and fuzzy leaves." she mumbled out loud to herself. The multicolored apprentice rapidly searched through the plants, her bright blue gaze locking on the color purple.

With a squeak she nipped a plant that she was pretty sure matched the description. Windflowerpaw carried it in their maw, which was spread into a large grin. The she-cat lifted herself on their toes and presented the herb with a flick of her tail.
