Re: WindClan Patrols

Flock Together [Tier 3] - Active | Mind Reader - Active
The medicine cat had just finished caring for her patients with the supplies she had obtained and had gone out of her den for some fresh air. Not all of the patrols had returned, and some of them had to travel further than others. Or find rarer herbs. As long as they came back, the lithe calico could hardly say she would be angry about it. A good thing, as well, considering that another patrol seemed to be making its way back, sans one patrol member. Not that the spotted molly could say she was surprised. With the minks making even more of a mess than before, she wouldn't be shocked to learn that Fallownose had rushed to Twilightstar to give her the news.
Upon approach of the two felines, she took note of how the apprentice seemed to be carrying and leading the patrol back. Hollowfoot was quick to explain the situation, and a befuddled expression marred the oriental mix's eyes. Why had they run away? Didn't they know that as long as you were polite and soft spoken around them, the bees didn't mind if you took a little bit of their honeycomb or two? Although come to think of it, Cowtuft had always seemed a bit stupefied at her ability to get honey so easily. Oh well fox dung... Was it not that easy for everyone else? Oops? Maybe she should start asking other cats in the future. But really, how much trouble could the bees be? They were so harmless and easy going!
Turning her attention towards the apprentice and the piece of honeycomb, she sniffed at it, finding some of the residents staring back up at her with admittedly somewhat angrier than usual buzzing. Gently, she blew some air on the bees, effectively making them move from the piece of hive they seemed to be so hell bent on protecting. After some level of hesitance, with the bees seemingly uncertain if they were to leave or stay fighting for their honey, they finally took off, coaxing a rare grin on the molly. Quirking a brow, she smirked at the pair, her whiskers giving an amused twitch. Maybe they had simply gotten the bees angry? Still, she wouldn't complain. Winterpaw and Hollowfoot were officially the first cats to have ever brought her any honey! Outside of herself, none of the other cats seemed to be very efficient at it, and Winterpaw had managed to not only bring a piece, he'd brought a piece with bees still on it without getting stung. That was admittedly impressive in its own right.
"It's perfect, thanks. These will come in very handy with the minks about. Especially the goldenrod. Good work on the honey. I'd given up hope anyone in WindClan could get a bloody piece of honeycomb back to camp. Go get some rest and the juiciest piece of prey you can find there, you lot. You've earned it," Lightningstorm mewed before dipping her head to grasp the honey and flowers, intent on storing them as soon as possible.

Cleaning herself free from the bitter taste of herbs that had slowly accumulated in her pelt after she'd finished treating her patients, her nose wrinkled, the familiar, floral scent of marigold and daisy reaching her nostrils welcomingly. Raising her gaze, Lightningstorm caught sight of the by now familiar lynx point returning with her patrol, large ears perked up as she took note of the fact that she was quite alone. It seemed she had been with the apprentice only moments before, however, and he had simply decided against gathering any herbs. A deadpanned expression crossed her face, remembering the tom's argumentative nature at the mere thought of being sent on a herb patrol. Turned out that he couldn't only complain, he could be useless as well. She'd make a note of it.
"Cheers for these. I trust the tree lovers didn't give you any trouble? These will be useful in the coming moons. I have a feeling things are going to get a lot more bloody before we get a moment's peace soon," she mewed in earnest, worried. How much more land would they lose to the minks before this was done? How many more warriors would suffer at their claws? Brow furrowed, she dipped her head, grabbing the herbs as she dismissed Bravebird, rushing to her den to secure the lot for future use, no doubt to treat injuries produced by the minks themselves.

Re: WindClan Punishments
| Lightningstorm |
Flock Together [Tier 3] - Inactive | Mind Reader - Active
Patients had been tended for, and patrols had returned... for the most part. Bravebird had come back alone. Some patrols had been missing members that had never made it back. Other patrols merely vanished into thin air, and at this point it had been long enough that the medicine cat was done waiting for the lot. Only two of the many cats who had disappointed her remained in the camp today, apprentices the both of them. It made sense, in a way. The warriors had probably decided that being sent out to gather herbs for their wounded clanmates was too much work and headed off on their own. The apprentices had less say in the matter. The fact that one had been quite vocal about his resignation to be placed in a herb patrol and the other one hadn't bothered to show despite her very injured mentor being one of the cats in need of these herbs, however, left the healer feeling rather lacking in any form of sympathy for either of the younger felines.
"Dustypaw! Caterpillarpaw! I want you here. Now!"
Lightningstorm's voice rumbled throughout the clearing, ears flattened against her head in anger. While the medicine cat wasn't merciless, especially when it came to apprentices, she would still need a reason better than I forgot to head out with these two. Those herbs had been crucial when she'd sent for them, and if it hadn't been for the few that did make it back - the ones that didn't vanish into thin air - Batglare, Thundersnow, and Whisperingpaw might have died. She hadn't been kidding when she'd promised more severe punishments. The lithe calico was tired of constantly having everything expected of her yet being assumed to expect nothing in return. If cats were going to hold her to the highest of perches when it came to her responsibilities, they could bet their arses she was going to dish out the same to them... starting right now.
@ starry [Dustypaw] | @ Katiethewolfchild [Caterpillarpaw]
| Will be moving on with punishments if this has not been responded to by May 1st 11:59 EST. If your character did go pick up the herbs and simply forgot to hand them in, feel free to have them drop them here with Lightningstorm and no punishment will be incurred. |

Re: WindClan Punishments
Caterpillarpaw left the apprentice's den at Lightstorm's call, head hung down in embarrassment. She wasn't even sure what had happened. The tiny blind apprentice was sure that she deserved whatever punishment Lightingstorm gave her. @ Alchemist Kitsune

Re: WindClan Patrols
PATROLS ARE DUE MAY 29TH BY 11:59 PM EST
If you need an extension, let me know a maximum of 3 days after the deadline.
If you need to be replaced, please have your character approach Lightningstorm with an in character excuse.
Herb patrols have a maximum of 5 herbs that can be carried per character; 8 herbs for those with The Collector purrk. Please make sure to provide a link to the post where your character gathered the herbs when handing them in or the patrol will be invalidated and your character will be punished.

Looking through the herb stores, Lightningstorm found herself pleasantly surprised. After doing some much needed clean up - and shooing the little, shiny beetle friend Blazesong had brought her - she found herbs that she hadn't even known had been there. StarClan cats had mentioned wanting to help, but she hadn't expected that much. Her own outings had also helped, not being one to waste newleaf. They had marigold, moss... cobwebs... an excess of poppy seeds for once. Truly, she couldn't ask for more. Of what she had. WindClan could bet their arses she was going to ask for some more... finicky to find herbs all the same. Now was the prime time to gather herbs like celandine, daisy, stock up on marigold - even though StarClan knew they had enough... things suggested there would be a need for more sooner rather than later - mushrooms if they could be found... And sticks. Stars above was keeping sticks in this clan a hassle. No matter. She would make sure to send some patrols now that could hopefully come back with the blasted things.
| Daisy Leaves and Ivy Vines |
[ Thunderglade ]
| Crowtooth [ @Rani ] | Rabbitpaw [ @Dolomedes ] | Winterpaw [ @zozelen ] |
"Crowtooth!" the calico called out, knowing full well who she would be sending out on her first patrol of the day, a smirk across her face. "There's the tom! Reckon since you and your apprentices are a patrol all to yourselves, the lot of you would be alright heading off to the Thunderglade to get some herbs for me? Heard Rabbitpaw caused quite the fuss while we were gone fighting the minks, trying to get herbs and whatnot for the clan. Figured why not give the lad a chance to stretch those legs and get that work done? Take Winterpaw as well, 'course. He's proven plenty dependable where warriors have failed in the past.
Now, for the herbs I'll be needing! I need some daisy leaves. Not the blooms much, but the actual leaves of the plant. You'll spot them easy enough. Cute white flowers on top. The leaves themselves are dark green and oval shaped. Have a fuzzy green step, and are nasty as the dark forest itself if bitten into too hard. Best treat them with care. Aside of the daisy's leaves I would love it if you lot could find some ivy. The vines in particular. They work wonders for splints. There seems to be war brewing in the near future, and I would rather be prepared. Can't miss 'em. Long tendrils with leaves on them. Like to get entwined on trees and shrubbery, but it isn't adverse to spreading out on the forest floor until it can find a perch, loves."
| Sticks and Celandine |
[ Sunset Grove ]
| Silverrose [ @Estelle ] | Adderpaw [ @Katiethewolfchild ] | Barleypaw [ @Madelaine ] |
Done with the first patrol, another warrior that she perhaps wasn't as fond of - really, who was she fond of aside of Crowtooth and Firestorm when it came to warriors within the clan - but could openly admit to her reliance came to mind. And wouldn't you know it? This one, just like the former, had two apprentices of her own. A quick trip to Sunset Grove would be easy for the trio, something she tended to prefer when dealing with apprentices. If it hadn't been for the relative security of the ThunderClan border, she probably wouldn't have sent a single apprentice out with Crowtooth, truth be told, but daisy grew in sparse locations around WindClan, and Lightningstorm could at least trust Bumblestar's bloodthirsty monsters to hold still while RiverClan was enemy number one in the forest. The tyrant had seemed interested in joining the fray, after all.
"Silverrose," she called out to the warrior, motioning with her tail as she approached. "Sending out herb patrols today. Would be excellent if you could take your apprentices out to Sunset Grove and find some sticks for mending broken bones. Varying lengths are fine, just make sure they are sturdy if possible. Celandine would be lovely as well. Can't miss it. Bright yellow blooms with only four petals on them. Can't be beat for helping heal injured eyes. Marigold is always good in a bind, of course, but would prefer to have the specialty herb around while it's in season."
| Chamomile and Coltsfoot |
Mandatory Prompt: Lightningstorm said catmint smells very rich an tasty, right? Well, this smells awesome! And it's green! Obviously catmint, right?!
[ Starry Meadow ]
| Twilightstar [ @Moonraven ] | Larkspring [ @Littlesun0112 ] | Lightningpaw [ @Lightningpaw666 ] |
Satisfied with the first two patrols sent, the calico's eyes landed on the base of the Galewood. While originally drawn towards her own den, lapis hues soon raised, landing on the leader's respite instead. When had been the last time Twilightstar had just been... out with clanmates? Not fighting. Not trying to pull each other's fur out. Just... out. Crowtooth's words still echoed in her head. Twilightstar had seemed tired, and considering how lonely Lightningstorm felt in WindClan, she couldn't help but assume that the lilac she-cat must be feeling a similar way. Wrinkling her nose, she settled on a herb to ask of her, her voice carrying upwards as she called out to the older molly.
"Wouldn't be bothering much, but figured if I wanted these herbs gotten, no one would understand the urgency for them more than another cat who knows full well the importance of a prepared clan," the Abyssinian mix grinned before she continued. "First up, I would like chamomile. Small white flowers. They look somewhat like daisy, but don't quite grow in the same places. The center is much more pronounced, too. It's a good herb to soothe the mind and the heart. I figured it would be good to have... in case we take some devastating losses some of the more impressionable cats in the clan can't quite cope with. Second, if you could spot us some catmint, that would be proper ace. It's not greencough season, but better safe than sorry. It's a green leaf. You'll know it when you smell it. Rather tasty at first sniff, but dangerous if too much is ingested, so maybe no chewing any more than needed. Starry Meadow should be a good place for both," the medicine cat purred in amusement.
| Dandelions and Cobwebs |
[ WindClan Territory ]
| Tallgrass [ @Spider-in-the-corner ] | Deadmoon [ @gs29513 ] | Honeypaw [ @CloudlessEve ] |
Her conversation with Twilightstar done, Lightningstorm turned to camp, knowing full well that more patrols should be sent. It would be foolish not to take full advantage of newleaf, especially at its peak before greenleaf set in. Besides, half the patrols rarely returned. It improved the odds of the clan having herbs the more patrols she sent out. A white and black tom she never really interacted with catching her eye, she decided to give him a shot. Truthfully, she expected incompetence as was the WindClan specialty. But who knew? Perhaps there would be cats that weren't furies that could actually finish patrols. Maybe sending along one she had good experiences with along wouldn't be too bad of an idea first, though...
"Tallgrass," the spotted lass called out, starting her petition the same way as she always did. "I'll need you to head on out to WindClan's general territory to find dandelions and cobwebs. Fairly certain you know what both are? Dandelions are those white puffballs kits like to play with. Before they turn into those allergy ridden toys, they are round, yellow flowers. Very eye catching. The leaves are what I want, but the entire plant can be brought back. Cobwebs should be self explanatory. Bring along Deadmoon and Honeypaw. It will be good experience for the apprentice."
| Burnet and Mint |
[ Twilight Falls ]
| Kestrelsoar [ @IDIOTICBEAN101 ] | Sunnypurr [ @ollie ] | Mosspaw [ @Rustleaf ] |
Well, that was it. She was reaching the end of her limit for being out in the open among the warriors of WindClan. Her fur was beginning to feel electric almost, threatening to stand on end. She could feel it. The judgement. Of cats wondering what she was doing outside of her underground prison for so long. Obviously, they didn't understand that the ones who benefited from her exposing herself to danger like this was them. After all, she was the one having to care for and bring back to health cats who would rather end her than save her. Shaking herself uncomfortably, she called out to one last patrol. Burnet would be nice to have with her mate so close to kitting. And mint... well... war always brought bodies with it, did it not? Best cover up the stench while graves could be made. Stars alive, what a mess.
"Kestrelsoar, love, need you to head on out to Twilight Falls. Go with Sunnypurr and Mosspaw. You are after burnet and mint. Both are green leaves you are looking for. The burnet are medium in size and basal. Can sometimes have purple flowers, but I am not expecting them to be in bloom just yet. The mint are smaller with serrated edges to them. Grow in clumps. The burnet is much more important, especially considering the season. I'm expecting a few litters will be born sooner rather than later with the good weather we've been having. But mint will be more than welcome if not enough burnet is found."

Re: WindClan Patrols
Crowtooth
Windclan Tunneler/Fury | He/him | 51 Moons
Power Card: Cold Gust
Right there had to be a better way to brace tunnels then what he was doing. Sticks were hard to find down there and it took too long to drag them back and forth, hmmm maybe Rabbitpaws idea of mixing soil types (stars that kid was a genius in the making)? It was a smart idea, and maybe he could combine it with the mud brick idea? Dirt hardened to something tough when mixed with water and left to dry, but Crowtooth had only seen that method used above ground where the sun was there to dry it. Would it occur underground? Hmmm he'd have to- Ooop!
Lightningstorm was calling, no time for peace it seemed.
Theatrically groaning the tom hauled himself up and plodded over, playfully complaining at the medicine cat. "Ah yer workin' me ta the bone Lightnin'! Im gonna be a Crow-splat soon, unable ta move an' a flat cat on the ground as all the willpower drains outta me! Thats gonna be on ya!" All jokes, Crowtooth was well known to never stop working and was always eager to help Lightningstorm specifically.
"Ah dont ya worry, I got two o' the best apprentices in the clan, we'll all come back wit' oodles o' herbs fer ya! Aint that right Rabbitpaw, Winterpaw?"
The tunneler was sure they'd both concur, so he just grinned and continued rasping ready to head out as soon as the apprentices arrived and not expecting a response.
"Ey maybe after we can all share a treat, Im sure these to youngin's would love ta hear some special medicine cat stories o' yer healin' triumphs (or just gossip o' our clanmates gossip." It'd be nice for the two to learn young everyone was just a cat no matter how serious they seemed and for Lightningstorm to be more socialized with the chipper kind and innocent of the clan.

Re: WindClan Patrols
Honeypaw
7 Moons
8/100
Purrks: Flock Together T1
Being an apprentice had perks, but there were still duties older cats had to follow. For Honeypaw however, an herb patrol seemed more exciting than tedious. It didn't seem too hard. She looked around for her mentor and her future patrolmate. She hadn't visited all of her territory just yet, so maybe going here would help in her training. I just started apprenticeship, it might take a while.
