[Report by filling out the form in the Herb Storage. Patrol leaders who fail to report and warriors who do not show up will face punishment. If you can give me an OOC reason for your cat not showing up on their patrol within 2 days you will be excused from the patrol. Inform me before the due date and request extra time on your patrol if it takes longer than you expected.
No more than 5 herbs per cat.
If you have any questions, VM me.]
**Elmshadow**
The rainy season had approached, leafbare was looming over them. Many herbs would be more difficult to come by and many others that would have had a longer shelf life due to leaffall's dryer climate would now be soggy and prone to molding. Nonetheless, the clan needed the herbs as much as ever, really more than ever. The colder weather brought less herbs but also more illness, a humorless joke surely. The dark medicine cat stepped out into the soggy air and sat down beneath the shadowledge, scanning the clearing for available bodies.
[ @NinjaBloss @Wings ] "Slytiger, take your apprentice to Shadow's Break for some moss and mallow leaves. The mallow is a low growing plant with large round leaves." Despite his origins outside of Shadowclan, the tom had been an active presence in Shadowclan and upheld his duties as well as, if not often times better than, many of their clan-born clanmates so he felt confident placing the tom at the head of a patrol.
[ @TheNyanCatMinecart @CreeperLover649 ] "Ivysnake, could you find Poisonpaw and go out in the territory to find catmint? There has to be some and I'd rather not get caught unprepared again with leafbare on us."
[ @Ravensong ] "Cougarivy, you're with me. Let's go." There was plenty Elmshadow knew he needed to talk to the she-cat about and bringing her on a patrol was setting himself up to have to get to it but he wasn't sure there were words o express whatever it was that he needed to express. He'd take it a day at a time, first the main priority: the clan needed herbs and he needed knowledge.

Slytiger pricked his ears as he heard his name called and trotted towards Elmshadow. Oh, an herb patrol! He'd been on a hunting patrol but not an herb patrol. Plus, he got to lead this one and take his apprentice. "Tallpaw, you ready to get some herbs?"
Ivysnake had just finished sifting herbs, leaving her short, dense pelt covered in strong-smelling green flecks. Dust tickled her nose, and she sneezed; then she rubbed at it irritably with a dark brown paw. Elmshadow should be sending out herb patrols soon. Leaf-bare was coming, and with it came cold weather, less prey, increased illness, and fewer herbs. Not like I know that many, she thought, feeling a prickle of resentment. Ebonyfang had vanished and had hardly taught her or Elmshadow anything. Weak deserter. We don't need you. Her claws dug into the cold dirt floor of the den. I wish we could meet again. I'd kill you on sight, just as Dawnstar ordered. But in truth, the Clan did need him. He had been a medicine cat in the past, which meant he had all the necessary herb knowledge for the future generation. Now Ivysnake and her mentor had to rely on the other Clans and experimentation for information.
She sat and began to give her distinctively striped pelt a thorough grooming. She usually kept her fur nice and sleek, though the scent of herbs now clung to it like a burr. Elmshadow's call rang out across the clearing, muffled from her position inside the den; Ivysnake's dark brown ears pricked. And... oh, her name was called. She gave her ruffled pelt a few more quick licks and hurried out. A wall of cold air hit her, making her dark fur fluff out, but she didn't let it bother her and sought out the cat she was traveling with. Poisonpaw. She knew that apprentice, but not well. It took only a moment for her to catch sight of them. The medicine cat apprentice padded over with long, confident strides.
"Yes, let's go," she meowed curtly. Without waiting for an answer, Ivysnake headed toward the camp entrance, quickly checking to make sure Poisonpaw was following. "We'll have to search hard for that catmint. The best place for it was Pinewatch Patch, but the Twolegs practically destroyed it." Her voice was unhappy. The thought of the Twolegs made her pelt prick and brought on emotions of anger and frustration. The stupid creatures had to destroy everything. They had only made things harder for ShadowClan. But we will survive, as we always have. Nothing will bring ShadowClan down!

Posionpaw turned its head toward the medicine cat apprentice. "Lead the way, Ivysnake. I won't speak." They said. Their fur stood up a little at the mention of Twolegs. "Let's go."

Tallpaw had been so excited to be an apprentice she had been awake right as the sun came up. Just waiting for the chance to finally go out of camp. Although she had been out in the wilds many times as a barn kittypet, she was especially excited for this. Bounding over to Slytiger, she purred a quick "Yep!"

Hunting patrols, have your character place their catch on the fresh-kill pile before reporting, or your character will be punished
Vixensnarl padded to the base of the Shadowledge with her ears pinned in annoyance. "ShadowClan, it's time for patrols again. You know the new punishments from the last meeting, so don't mess it up for your own sake!" she yowled.
"Larkpaw [ @Kat ], lead the patrol to the ThunderClan Border. Take Silverwing [ @snekeyes4 ] and Lynxblossom [ @Erebus ]. If they give you any trouble, come straight to me, and I'll deal with it." Dawnstar had made Larkpaw an Enforcer, so Vixensnarl trusted her with leading a patrol. If the warriors had a problem, then they could come to her.
Dappledleaf stretched as she padded from the nursery, humming slightly as she did. She was going to lead a hunting patrol!! That was nice of Vixensnarl to do! She heard her daughters name spoken as well to lead a patrol and she chirped happily. Good job, sweet girl! She thought to herself. Her and Larkpaw would have to celebrate soon! She sat down near Vixensnarl and waited for Stoneflight to appear.
Sorrelflare hummed and nodded at Vixensnarl, hunting was something he enjoyed. Let him be at peace, his tail flicked back and forth as xe looked for his patrol mate, Owlstorm.

Stoneflight emerged from his den, shaking his head. The brown tom yawned, then heard his name spoken. He lifted his big head, blinking. His amber eyes twinkled. A patrol. That’s nice. He turned around, looking for a Dappledleaf.
