ShadowClan Fox Frenzy

Event [#event]


It was the dead of night, little of the moon could be seen in the dense foliage of forest. Dawnstar silently led her patrol through ShadowClan territory and straight into the Icy Heartlands. The clan leader paused in the shadows, still, as her nose twitched while she breathed in the air. There was a heavy, musky fox odor that hit her in the face as they entered fox territory on the fringe of the Heartlands.

No one usually came this far out into the Heartlands no wonder these pests haven't been caught yet. Some fox lengths away, she could pick up the sound of the fox pups scuffling and barking. Ahead there was a thick wall of thickets that Dawnstar didn't want to quite push through yet. So she halted her patrol with a wordless tail signal and took to climbing up a nearby tree. Once high enough she was able to look down upon a clearing where she found three adults and some adolescents playing and laying in the clearing. Since she couldn't see into their den she could tell if there were any more foxes in there.

Still, they were missing a few of them... Intrigued Dawnstar leaped out of the tree and landed back in front of her patrol. "We'll be needing to split up, the whole family is not here. The father, two of the females, and some older pups are probably out hunting. The mother's here with two other adult females and the remaining pups." She informed them.

"Drippingpelt, Salamanderskull, Houndhunter, and Cougarivy. You'll come with me to hunt down the ones that are out." There weren't that many out, so she didn't want to take too large a number of their forces.

"Hawkbite, Larkfire, Darkcloud, Whiteheart, Blackhawk, OspreySplash, Shadefrost, Silverlightning, Slytiger, and Darkfall, you'll be staying here and working on flushing these foxes into ThunderClan. Larkfire, you'll be in charge of Mousepaw, Darkfall with Stormpaw, and Darkcloud watch over Sharppaw." Dawnstar made sure to assign each apprentice a warrior to supervise them since they had yet to earn the right of warriorhood.

"The mother is going to be a problem, so rather than wasting time trying to fight her and the other two females, I would suggest having some warriors focus on keeping the adults busy and the rest focus on killing a few of the pups. Any bright mother would decide that fleeing is a better option than fighting to save their young. Herding them and the rest of the pups into ThunderClan's Territory shouldn't be a problem." Dawnstar advised.

Since they had two Enforcers, Larkfire and Hawkbite. who'd be in charge while she was hunting should be obvious. Honestly, having Hawkbite in charge of warriors who'd be distracting the adults would make the most sense, and having Larkfire and those with apprentices focus on killing the pups would probably be the smartest and safest play. But Dawnstar didn't feel like doing everyone thinking for them so she'd let her the two Enforcers work out who's doing what on their own.

"Any questions?" Dawnstar's tail swished impatiently eager to start her hunt before the other foxes got back, but she didn't want her cats running around like headless mice so she'd wait to make sure everyone understood the plan.




 
So the numbers worked out great, I don't need to add extra foxes. So there are a total of 18 foxes. About half will be killed, (three adults and five pups) and the other half will be yeeted/herded into ThunderClan's territory.

I tried to keep everyone's general preferences in mind. So Dawnstar, Drippingpelt, and Salamanderskull will be killing the three adults, Cougarivy, Houndhunter, will take the two pups that are out hunting. While Darkfall+Stormpaw, Larkfire+Mousepaw, and Darkcloud+Sharppaw will be taking care of three of the pups at the den.

Everyone else will be fighting/herding the reminding 3 adults and 7 pups. Once the three pups are gone, chasing off the reminding foxes is optional. Regardless on the 25th by 11:59 PM CST, this event will be ending/closing.
