Ravenpaw followed Snakefang and Sprucejumper into Willow's rise.
Has she been here before?
Possibly.
She's not sure at the moment.
Anyway, she vaguely remembers Wolfpaw's description of marigold, and her eyes start wandering to see if she spots any.

But! I did request an extension!]

Their trek for the day was fairly close to camp... and so it marveled Sprucejumper when he realized he had lost sight of what's-their-face. The snake cat. Gratefully, he could still spot Sentinel padding just before him, and thanks to his love of tree hunting, he was well familiar with this place. As he was, surprisingly, with the flowers in question. The herb cats were keen on sending him out to gather their plants for them. Marigold, if he recalled correctly, was far from merry with that abysmally horrid taste... but it was fairly golden in color, making it easy to spot.
"Jointly," he mewed as he caught up with the dark apprentice, not keen on losing sight of her as well.
Carefully, the long furred warrior stepped around the undergrowth, nose and eyes taking in everything and anything that stood out as the flowers in question. The sooner they got back, the better. He was already uneasy with the idea of coming back without Snake-be-gone and getting killed on the spot by their less than amicable tyrant and her brutally enforced buddy system. True, they might get off with a mere punishment and be demoted... which as of right now was meaningless. Warriors and apprentices held the same sway. The same imprisonment within the confines of the camp. But the tom feared he would openly roll his eyes at yet another name change, as if he needed to be reminded he had paws again for some inexplicable reason. Especially considering they were out ensuring those that were sick had medicine to begin with. Best hope that he had merely misplaced the patrol leader for a moment and nothing would come of this.
Emerald gaze scrutinizing every flower he encountered, it wasn't long before Sprucejumper found what he sought. Here were the marigold that Snake-be-gone and Puppy had mentioned, and there were a fair number too. Not keen to rip them all apart and leave none for later, however, the chocolate point carefully snipped the round, yellow orange blooms with his claws, collecting a few that could easily be carried without smooshing them together before turning to Sentinel, deadpanned eyes ensuring she was still alright. With a huff, he pointed at the flowers he found, the gesture serving a double purpose. If she hadn't found any yet, well... she could gather from here. If she had, then now she knew so had he and they could leave. The tom wasn't overly keen in sticking around longer than needed if their patrol leader really had vanished into thin air on the trek here. Getting into trouble for doing his damn job was not on his checklist of things to do today, thank you very much.
| +4 Marigold |

| Same here! We have an extension until the 21st, so we should be heading back soon, hopefully. |

She has a semi-closed den policy.
Snakefang slowed down a bit entering Willow's Rise, she didn’t want to disturb any of the cats buried here, this was the burial site after all. Careful not to step on anyone’s graves, Snakefang fell behind a bit. She couldn’t see Ravenpaw or Sprucejumper anywhere, but could tell from scent they weren’t that far away. Taking a twig, she found some cobwebs in between a couple of rocks and gathered them, right she should probably go tell Ravenpaw and Sprucejumper what had happened.
Catching up to the other two, Snakefang put the cobwebs on the ground for a moment. "Eh…sorry about that, fell a bit behind trying not to step on any graves, should’ve told you guys where I was. My bad. Anyway, got some cobwebs."
Marigold next. The orange flowers caught her eye almost immediately, Snakefang walked over to them, taking just the flower this time instead of the whole plant. Yep, she’d learned from that mistake. Two, that was plenty, she had some cobwebs anyway and could see Sprucejumper already had some marigold as well.
"Right, we just about ready to head?" She said, picking the cobwebs back up.
Sinatra was swingin'
All the drunks they were singin'
We kissed on a corner then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir were singin' Galway Bay
And the bells were ringin' out for Christmas Day!

---------------------
Soon after being more next to Sprucejumper, she looked for patches as well.
[Roll=13]
Ravenpaw found a patch, though it wasn't very much.
Before she picked up any, she took note of Snakefang's return.
Then she took all that was in the small patch.
[+3 MARIGOLD]
After doing so, the rusted cat was soon next to the warriors, ready to head out.
goodness prey was low, prey was very very low so best to get out and go hunting right? the tom thought limping into Willows Rise sniffing the air, in search of prey…Nothing yet it was fine he was sure that a few pieces of prey would show. Walking deeper into the clan landmark keeping quiet making sure not to scare any prey away.
Sniffing the air again the hornet caught whiff of a rat, crouching the tom stalked the scent until his green eyes rested upon the plum vole ‘ this should be helpful to bring back to the clan’ the hornet thought as he pounced on the prey killing it swiftly before he buried it.
While he sat below the tree keeping his senses up as he looked around ears flicking towards every sound before he heard one in the tree, looking up into the tree he noticed a bushy tail jumping between branches. Risingstorm climbed up the tree jumping in branches as he waited to spot the prey again, slowly the squirrel showed itself under the branch rising was on, jumping down from the branch rising landed on the squirrel killing it swiftly before he buried it next to the vole. Two pieces of prey wasnt much but it should do okay till spiderthroat sent out patrols.
(+1 vole +1 squirrel )

There she was. Wolfpaw dipped his head in greeting as the leader finally showed up. The tripod tom nodded and led the leader out to willow's rise. He had been here once before with Mudhound. "alright, let's see what we can find," he told her. "Oh, also, do ya know any herbs you could tell me? Might be helpful," the medicine cat asked, starting his search for some herbs
[roll: 12, 14, 1 - success. +2 poppy heads]
Almost directly after starting to search, the tripod found a clump of poppy flowers. The tom carefully grabbed a few heads of poppy, careful to not spill any seeds. "found swome foffy feafs," the medic called out, voice muffled with the herbs in his mouth.

Bumblestar trotted out of camp after him. Hopefully they'd manage to find something useful to restock what she was sure were low herb stores, given the chillier weather. They were having the same problem with prey. Maybe she'd start doing regular outings, look for both at once.
"Ehh, let's see." She twitched one ear as she stuck her nose between the tree roots to look for anything that stood out. "I've got the basics, burdock root, ragweed, deathberries, 'n poisonous mushrooms. If you want, I can take you out later tonight 'n see if we can find some. The bad ones glow at night, make it easy to spot 'em."

Wolfpaw dropped his herbs as the leader started talking. Burdock he knew, but the rest were unknown to him. "I know burdock, but not the rest. I've heard of deathberries though. Could ya tell me what all of em do? And yea, I'd like to see the glowin mushrooms, it seems cool for a dangerous plant!" the medicine cat said eagerly before puffing up his fur to help with the cold wind. "Might needa double herb patrols, Don't want no herbs because of how bad the cold is," he said, mainly to himself but also as a suggestion to bumble.

"Right, so - ragweed's this fern-lookin' plant, just a bit pointier around the leaves. It works as an energy booster, or for strength. I keep a small stash in my den. Good in a pinch."
Bumblestar found what she was looking for, marigold, and stooped down between the willow tree's roots to snip three of the flowers off at the base of their stems. "Then deathberries are these little red berries that grow on bushes that kinda look like pine-trees, just shorter. They're poisonous. Just one is enough to kill a kit, 'n two would probably be enough for you or me. If you wanna keep some in your stash for... difficult cats, I wouldn't stop you, but I'd probably recommend keepin' 'em away from everything else.
"Same goes for the mushrooms. The most notable one I've come across are these massive orange growths on rotting logs, or the bases of some trees. Glow green when it's dark. They're neat, but also nasty - can make a cat pretty sick 'n probably kill 'em if they eat enough of it. Again... good for the cats we might need to deal with using alternative methods."
She lifted her head with the marigold secured and blinked at Wolfpaw. "'N I almost forgot, there's this other one, too. This yellow-ish-orange flower, a little crazy looking with the petals, but it helped with the poison RiverClan tainted our lands with. Might work with other stuff, too. Haven't seen it in a while... grows in high-up places, though, if I remember right."

The brown tom listened intently as the leader told him about Ragweed, Deathberries, and glowing mushrooms. He shuddered at the thought of keeping such dangerous herbs in his den. "No thanks," he said quickly. Wolfpaw tilted his head to the side as the leader mentioned one last herb, but wasn't really descriptive. "...alright then. I'll let ya know if I ever find anything like it. But now that we got some herbs, let's head back. It's freezing!" he said, giving a dramatic shudder before picking up his herbs and heading back in the direction of camp.
