Although he knew he probably wouldn't be fighting the owl directly the weight of the task in front of him felt daunting. There was so much to loose if he failed. He wouldn't just be letting down the cats on the patrol, but all of the cats in Thunderclan. Their vengeance and ability to sleep soundly at night hinged on how well this team did. The air where 2/3rds of his tail should have been burned. How do I know if I'm ready for this? What if I loose my balance and fall? He looked out across the clearing, scanning the cats around him. He was nervous, but he also felt ready. This was something they needed to do. Any personal fears had to be pushed down. Claws dug into the dirt. He would try his best.

The brown tom turned towards the rest of his patrol. "Is there any plan or is it just break everything as fast as possible?" He meowed in his deep tone. He voice and expression was even more serious than usual, if that was even possible. It was difficult not to be affected by the gravity of the situation. Especially as he watched Nightwhisper leave his family to come join them. This cat has something to live for. If anything were to go wrong Dogchase would have to be sure to protect the other warrior.

[ @ChromeSilver_Hwaa @dino. ]

Nightwhisper gave a brave nod. His eyes gleaming as he looked around. "One cat should help throw debrees down to the ground and keep watch while the other two focus on destroying the nest as much as possible." Nightwhisper meowed, he looked back the way they came and studied the sky

Bumblestar had been lingering in the clearing alongside Wolfhive, and upon the patrol's return, turned with him to listen to their report. A large oak near Firefly Cove - they could find the one and take care of it.

Once Dogchase and Nightwhisper had approached, she gave both of them stern looks. "Alright. Since we're goin' in last, we'll follow the others out. Take cover in the brush, be silent, 'n once the thing's occupied, we'll circle around from the back, climb up quick, and destroy whatever's up there. Eggs, hatchlings, the nest itself - I want it all gone. Don't try to salvage anything. Bait 'n Ambush patrols should keep it distracted, but if it comes after you, focus on getting yourself to safety first."

With Wolfhive's patrol heading out, Bumblestar jerked her head at her patrolmates. "Let's go. Remember what I said about being quiet, that thing could hear you from a mile away." Then they were off.

--

Once the location was reached, Bumblestar directed her patrol to the nearby undergrowth surrounding the oak. She hunkered down, eyes on Wolfhive and only hoping her cats had the sense to be careful about this.

Nightwhisper nodded to his leader, he stretched his claws and waited for a command. Once the command to move was given, Nightwhisper stayed as silent as a mouse, his paws gently padding the floor with little to no sound, the pitch black furred Tom was barely visible, the only thing the indicate him was his scent and his singular ginger ear.

The Tom looked around and waited

Orangeblossom

TW: Violent thoughts

He's never felt like this before. Maybe its because he's never lost someone he's loved so much to a monster. His mom had been lost to illness, and his siblings lost... just lost.. missing. Springlight, his friend, his best friend ever, was killed. Murdered. At least, that's what the other says. Orangeblossom still couldn't believe it, he wouldn't allow himself to, because if he gives up hope that means she's really gone. Completely and truly. Orangeblossom can't handle that right now. He really couldn't.

Green eyes shifted to Wolfhive and then to Drizzlecloud. And suddenly, as though taking the hornet's directions as a cue to break through. The never ending apathy suddenly gave way to uncontrollable rage. He was supposed to take out the owl's left. Orangeblossom was going to rip this owl apart limb by limb. He wasn't going to allow the others to give this beast any sort of mercy, even if that mercy was going simply killing it quicker than Orangeblossom approved of. No. He doesn't care if the Owl isn't sentient to understand, Orangeblossom was going to make it suffer like it did to Springlight.

If it were up to him, he would force the creature to watch as his clan mates tore apart its home and if they were lucky, watch as they killed its youth. It doesn't deserve mercy. Orangeblossom would make sure that it doesn't receive any. "Alright. Just give me the cue." Orangeblossom watched as Nightgaze's patrol moved, waiting for them to begin. He padded after Wolfhive.

Skunkridge nodded as Nightgaze explained.
"Gotcha." She replied "What's the plan of going about it?"

Skunkridge's tail twitched.
They wanted to get rid of the owl as much as everyone else, so they wanted to get it right.

He listened to Bumblestar's instructs and nodded as she came to close. He made sure to step lightly as they made their way out into the territory. Crouching down in the bushes was a little awkward given his large size, however he shifts around to make sure he is fully hidden. As much as he can without risking his position he tries to get eyes on the other teams.

Nightgaze
Thunderclan Hornet

Alright then, one of her patrol had understood the assignment. Now, time to start getting this plan into action and hopefully not die! Easier said than done. Black pelt bristling with uneasiness as they neared, Nightgaze was a bit more on edge this time. Had to keep a coolhead and just distract this owl long enough so that they could destroy it's whole life! They got this!

Finally, they reached it. The hollow ominously looking out from the oak tree. The small hornet could've sworn she heard a faint chirp but she had to ignore it; her job was to distract the owl, nothing else. With everyone else in position she took a deep breath before yowling at the top of her lungs. "HEY BIRDBRAIN, COME GET US!" Standing tall, proud and absolutely unmissable she spoke those few but loud words. Moments flew by before a bloodthirsty screech echoed in the air around them.

[Rolled an 11! The owl turns on the nest killers!]

It was here. The familiar shadow that Nightgaze had witnessed before loomed over them and the furious beating of wings could be heard from above. Radient green hues moved upwards just in time to meet fiery orange. 'There you are!' Baring her fangs, she snarled at the predator hovering above her patrol. "That's right! Bring it on birdie!" The hornet bounced from side to side in a taunting manner. Just had to keep it's attention long enough- oh stars!

Suddenly, the owl twisted it's head around and stared, it's demonic face twisting in rage. It'd sensed movement near it's nest. The nest killers had been detected. Panic flooded through her as the bird they were supposed to distract changed it's focus and started swooping towards the opposite direction of where they wanted it to go. "H-Hey! Come back! Look, look! We're still here! Don't turn your back on us!" She hissed and spat after it in a desperate attempt to halt it's attack on the others. If was fruitless, though. Damnit.

Risingstorm walked out with the patrol his fur was on end watching for the owl the forest was quiet before being interrupted by the loud scrrech of the owl he lashed his tail, snarling "Come here mouse breath" he yowled at the seeing it fly towards the cats going after the nest killers , he hissed loudly "HEY DONT FLY AWAY!" he yowled

"Hey!" Skunkridgw called out, just like the others, as the owl flew away.
She let out a grumble of frustration, before looking at Nightshiver.

"What's the plan from here?" He asked "They has to be a way to get it's attention, right?"


@Morrigan - @Spider.

[BEAR.]

Oh, dung!

The owl seemed smarter than they initially anticipated - after the crew encroaching on the oak to climb it.

"Damn it! Go, go, go!" Wolfhive sprang out from hiding to close some distance between the owl and the nest patrol.

The owl had descended, aiming to latch its talons around Dogchase [ @Bonsai] and lift them. Wolfhive sprang at the bird, aiming to catch its right wing with his claws.
