Re: Riddle me this… [Herb Gathering Event]
Event [#event]

LESSON TWO
Oriental shaped ears perked to take in the surprising amount of questions that the kits asked, words tumbling over each other as each bright eyed face started enamoured or horrified at the sight of the crimson berry that rested ever so gently under his white tipped paw, ”Deathberries are known to kill cats in seconds, Sleepykit, so as sad as it is, there is very little you are able to do so this best to prevent consumption in the first place,” a pause as he flipped through the questions in his starry mind, ”the berries are okay to touch though, in the end it is best to leave them alone and let Lostspark and I - and the select few we send out - to handle the berries and other poisonous herbs. As for the bush Bleedingkit, it’s a large and branchy tree that looks kind of like a pine tree,” seeing that there was no more questions the freckled medicine cat apprentice moved on to acknowledge the forever queen who had come in along with some of the straggling kits, ”Your presence is always welcome here Nightshiver, I will always appreciate an extra set of paws - especially when it come to the future of our clan.” Rolling options over in starry mind the oriental shaped feline contemplated the attention span of the kits gathered before him, he had one more herb with him so he would proceed onto lesson two before he stood and delivered the second to last riddle, ”Our next herb is Deadly Nightshade - or simply Nightshade - it has distinctive vivid purple flowers with erect yellow centers and once the blooms die the wilted buds form dark almost black berries that stick out from a star shaped flower looking bit that attaches them to the stem of the plant. Similar to Deathberries, Nightshade kills very quickly so it’s better to leave it be, cats will usually present usual signs such as gagging and vomiting and will be dead within a matter of minutes,” the freckled herbalist stood and stretched momentarily before continuing on, ”I am going to place these in storage and grab the last herb for our lessons then deliver the next rounds riddle, be good for Nightshiver.” Scooping the Deathberries and Nightshade gently up in his maw Mossfreckle padded from the mouth of the medicine den and into the belly, eyes blinking as his mossy hues adjusted to the ever dimming depths, the two poisonous herbs were placed in their proper place and in their place the feline grabbed a delicate purple flower before padding once again to the mouth of the den - eyes blinking the whole way as they readjusted to the afternoon sun, ”Fogwatcher, please keep an eye on this flower,” his tones where a throaty purr but they held a weight of authority within them, ”do not let its pretty features fool you.”
ROUND THREE
Mossy hues watched felines filter in and out for a moment, to his delight many had comfrey laden in their maws, ”Warrior and apprentices of Shadowclan lend me your ears,” Mossfreckle yowled from where he stood half way between the medicine den and the clearing - most of his focus still on the kits which he had positioned in his peripheral… he trusted Nightshiver and Fogwatcher but insecurity was raking at his tattered heart… it was better safe than sorry - ”the next riddle is as such - Rats!! But there is always ’morrow and the herb is a tall, leafy stemmed plant with flat-topped/ dome-shaped clusters of white flowers with yellow centers ,” for the time being the freckle spotted apprentice sat for a moment, curling his feathery tail over his dainty white tipped paws and watched the cats return out in yet another endeavour. Assured that the felines were off on their task, the oriental shaped medicine cat apprentice padded on diligent white tipped paws back to the medicine cat’s den and the awaiting gathered fluff balls.
ROUND THREE ENDS 8TH OF APRIL

* All post will be made in this thread with a mention of where they are headed if you chose a place other than Shadowclan Territory for apprentices and up and the medicine den for kits
* IC your cat can find herbs based off of the description, I fully understand that some of these herbs will be unknown to your character. To get a point all you need to do is put your answer in brackets in bold at the top of your post, if the herb is correct OOC your character will net + 1 of such and you will get a point.
* Please only post once between each Mossfreckle post regarding to your task (post all participating characters at once) - for apprentices and warrior this will be returning and waiting for the next riddle for kits it will be going with Mossfreckle to the medicine cat’s den and then once per each lesson.
* You can join at anytime but if you are an apprentice and up you need to wait for the next riddle (round two) to participate, for kits you have until the first lesson post to join - just make a note you are joining in the den (IC Mossfreckle would prefer that participating kits attend all the lesson, however)
* Please note that IC Mossfreckle will scold kits who try to put the herbs in their mouth, these herbs are dangerous and will kill your kit your kit if consumed, if you are looking to do suck please seek other mean as this event is meant for clan engagement and not as a way to dispose of unwanted characters.
* points will be tallied at the end of the event
Feel free to vm if you have any questions or concerns
