@Starfall
Brindlepaw was roused from his sleep by Spiderthroat bleating about....something. In all honesty the young tom didn't know what the deputy wanted, only that he was being called to line up. Not a miracle worker? Herbs? If you're strong enough? A bit of fuzzy contemplation later, and Brindlepaw dragged himself to his paws. So Spiderthroat was going to....what? Fix up the cats here after the rat attack? The rats actually weren't the biggest issue right now, Brindlepaw would much prefer a fix for the current foggy state of his brain or the coughing or the headache or the gunk he was hacking up, but alas. He supposed getting his paw patched up was better than nothing.

He was on his feet, and he was making his way....vaguely in the direction of Spiderthroat. A bit stumbly, but he managed a straight enough track and got over there. I dunno what you've got he also had no clue what Spiderthroat would need to have but if you can....I got rat bites. From the rats. So apparently the sickness was having more effect on his mental state than he thought! Lovely! Love the mumbling! If you, uh, need me to get something I can manage that though. he added. The ounce of energy he forced into his words would hopefully convince Spiderthroat, as his rather haggard frame was unlikely to help his case for some responsibility. He hadn't exactly been grooming lately, or eating as much as he maybe ought, but he was in better shape than some other so that was enough to convince him he should be helping out.

Sorry all for the reply delay exams killed the rani!

Whoops Mudhound had kinda drifted off there! Snorting themselves to full waking from where they'd need quietly nodding off, exhausted by the days events and sickness ravaging their body the tripod looked almost startled and quickly went to reply to questions and finishing the story, hearing Spiderthroat calling.

"Uh no Olivekit as of right now even if its secret from the other clans Hollowpaw technically fills the medicine cat apprentice role so its not open. A clan only ever has two meds and we got two so if you wanna become one youre gonna have to wait untill one retires, sorry!
And Pinepaw not every med needs to do that though I think they all get their full name at the starcave still? Sweetblossom just needed to do this because she was the first."

Time to wrap up the story fast now.

"So, standing before all the starclan cats who'd held her trails and all those who came to watch Sweetblossom swore to be a medicine cat, to heal instead of harm and dedicate her to making sure her clan was well in all ways above all other duties. She laid out the first guidelines all medicine cats follow today, and for it she was renamed Sweetleaf, a proper medicine cat.

When she woke in the starcave she found only a single night had passed, despite all the events in starclan feeling as if they'd taken moons, and quickly headed back to the clan. In front of her leader she healed the sick and injured, proving herself to him and so became the official medicine cat, carving the path for all to follow behind her.

Through Sweetleaf many clanmates we mightve lost without healing remain, and so we should all pay thanks to our healers doing this difficult work and strive to help and be kind like them.

The end, now everyone you better shuffle on over to Spiderthroat for a check up! He needs to make sure we're all ok after that rat attack and how our sickness is doing."
Mudhound in particular seriously needed their paw taken care of asap.

Now getting over to Spiderthroat was the real issue here given walking was seemingly not an option anymore. It was taxing on three legs already and even sick Mudhound had BULK to carry, and with how exhausted, sore, and shaky this sickness made them moving around was increasingly just not a thing.

The hornet managed to get up and take a couple steps over to him in this case, wincing as the rat bite on their paw stung, but soon enough thumped down to a flop wheezing and coughing as they panted from the effort. A rather sad sight from the strength and endurance fighter who was known for just shaking off issues, and the tripods beaming grin was shaky as they tried to not freak out anyone who saw that.

"Hey -gasp- Spider-dude! Sick -gasp- is awful! Also -gasp- paw rat -gasp- bite hurts."
It was probably something to deal with now before it became infected, especially given how an infection on top of illness could easily be too much for a body to take at this junction, for any cat.

@Starfall (besides a dirty rat bite from the incident that needs healing muddy is just kinda really sick and weak)

Wolfhive was alive, but at what cost? The plague was all consuming, leaving him a deflated, borderline useless blob in his nest.
