Snowbush
Find my eyes with yours
+ she/her + 45 moons

Snowbush had no idea as to where the others on their original patrol went off to, probably off dilly-dallying. Them going missing before they left was their loss, they wouldn't get another chance to see the vacant land. She was interested in knowing what secrets may lay before them, see if something could be brought back. What the large feline didn't like was how humid it was walking through the forest nor how wet the ground felt. How the hell did those River rats travel across the land like this? Her fur was getting all wet mainly her paws as they made the most contact with the ground beneath them. She lifted a white paw to shake it out so that it wouldn't be so sopping wet when they eventually made it to dry land. Snowbush eyes the new patrol mates that joined theirs, oh nice they weren't a tiny patrol anymore. This would make any future problems easier to deal with, especially if they ran into rogues or any riverclanners that got left behind.

The molly didn't say anything to them as they followed along, no words seemed to even be exchanged that much anyway. To her, it would seem no one had anything to say besides Crowtooth up ahead of them all. She was sure that the tom could probably talk for everyone in the patrol if he so chose to do so. Nothing to add to what she assumed was rambling she veered off to the other side of what used to be the camp. Like those before her, he eyed what once were dens but was nothing left of being a mess. Right this moment she didn't see anything noteworthy besides the materials used to make the dens. the lilac point did notice seeing little trinkets lying strewn across the ground. A part of her contemplated taking it but didn't make a move to grab any of it. Unlike the river rats, she wouldn't stoop low to take away something that a cat held dear to them.

She took the moment to stand and look around the desolate camp, to take in the state it was in. The warrior hadn't been involved in the battle, having chosen to stay behind. What was the point of her joining in when there were plenty of battle-ready cats already there? There were already enough cats to handle a rogue-like clan, it had already felt like it was overkill to behind with. Just from thought alone she could guess that Riverclan most definitely had a heavy loss. Some part of her wondered when said clan made their return if they would try to seek revenge. Snowbush had a tiny bit of hope for them to for once use their heads and realize that was a bad option. They wouldn't know till they eventually came back and they would have to watch their backs with the exiled clan.

Lichenpaw
~<>~
16 moons || she/her || WindClan apprentice || honed skill [INACTIVE]
scrawny calico with one blind eye; blue eyes

One of the patrol's first stops was to the RiverClan camp, and Lichenpaw sniffed with disgust at the remaining dregs of RiverClan scent clinging to the rocky ground and walls. The dens were half destroyed, and there was drying blood all over the ground. It hadn't been washed away by any of the rain that had come through? Hm. Maybe that was StarClan's doing. Maybe they were upset at RiverClan too and wanted this as a reminder. Well, that didn't matter to Lichenpaw much, but she nosed her way throught the dens anyway.

Many of them looked a little destroyed, but the one she poked her head into first was pretty intact. She knew RiverClan cats liked to collect trinkets more than the other clans, so the assortment of shells and feathers and pretty rocks lining some of the nests didn't surprise her much. What did surprise her was... was that a shrivvled up tongue?? Ew... Lichenpaw was certain before this that ShadowClan would be the only ones with gross trinkets, but she should never have underestimated RiverClan, she guesses.

Nothing really caught her attention here, though, and there wasn't anything she thought she could take that wa\ould really screw with RiverClan once they eventually returned, so she decided just to stick to snooping around the dens...

Crowtooth
Windclan Tunneler/Fury | He/him | 50 Moons

Power Card: Cold Gust

The group seemed to mostly stick to silence as they investigated the desecrated camp, probably recalling what'd occurred here not long ago and even Crowtooth got caught up in the feeling. The found himself at the base of the tree he'd flung of their warriors agains, still splattered and caked with blood wondering about what that cat mightve been had things been different. Crowtooth had offered the chance to run but the tom had stayed and payed the price, and yet it still felt like a waste of life.


He was rather happy to have that thought interrupted by Hawkfur's question.
"Ta be honest friend Id eat my tail if the other clans havent snooped. Question is when they did it though, we shoulda done our own before thunderclan snagged ta take a looksy buuuut thats how thin's go.


Lets move on now! Places ta be!"
Its not like anyone had any reason to wanna linger here afterall.


Traveling to the next location the cats passed through a rather.... Odd location. The camp, but an old one, long destroyed by a flood and abandoned even longer then the camp they'd come from but so old it was ingrained into land itself. A camp like this only came about by years and years of living in it and only feel by a natural disaster, not the action of any cats best efforts.


The group wouldnt linger in this still dampened ruined long given how little was here, it being just an encounter to note as they passed through.


The hotsprings though? Those were more of a point to investigate.

Haven Springs

Home to two natural hot springs, that are filled with hot water. To get to it, cats will have to cross a rather rundown looking Twoleg bridge that goes over an empty streambed.

Perfect for a day of relaxation, especially in the colder moons. Surrounded by smooth pebbles and rocks with a mound stretching above, providing an overhanging ledge. This is the one source of water that doesn't seem to freeze over...

Not much water prey can be found here, but a few birds, lizards, and some land prey can be seen scurrying about. A perfect place to hang out, relax, and great for warriors to unwind after a strenuous day.

Coming to the steaming water crowtooth for a time was... Baffled because why did it do that??? It was warm but still ever so slightly misty and so so warm here, it just looked strange. The twoleg bridge was one thing, easily discarded as twoleg junk but the springs?


Hesitant but curious as any cat the tom approached, pushing through the thick foliage of plants and greenery that thrived around the spring the tom rasped a "Do yall notice somethin'.... odd?" as he reached a paw out, almost unable to stop himself from poking.


Here though the tom froze, caution and curiosity warring in his mind, leaving the rest of the group to make their own choices on investigation as he tried to decide for himself. Perhaps one would even poke first or notice the few familiar herbs mixed in with the unknown ones in the area while the tunneler was distracted.
