~ Lioncrest ~

Padding back into camp, the large golden warrior flicked some residual slush of his paws as he walked in through the entrance. Giving a quick glance around, Lioncrest moved with purpose towards Springpaw and the medicine cat's den. Placing his large ball of moss at the healer apprentice's feet, he gestured with his head towards Sprucepaw (who was hopefully still following).

{+3 cobwebs and +3 moss}

"Supplies have been located. Do let me know if you need further assistance," he rumbled before giving Springpaw a respectful nod and padding off towards the nursery.

~ Mistheart ~

Grey ears perked up at the sound of her name being called by the medicine cat, and the previously sleepy warrior perked up slightly at the call to go out for a herb patrol. She hadn't really... left camp recently, so this would be a good chance to help out Drizzlecloud with her finding skills!

Skittering out from the warrior's den, Mistheart gave an excited twitch of her tail before posting up next to the camp entrance to await her patrolmates. Sticks were gonna be easy, no problems there, but juniper... She hadn't been sent to collect that before. A new thing to find and store away for later knowledge! Shifting her weight from side to side, the molly glanced around camp and waited for the others.

Springpaw has called for emergency herb patrols, and if you’ve been mentioned, you’ve been placed on one of them! If you do not wish to be put on a patrol, please vm me and request to be replaced within three days of the patrols being organized. (If you want to be replaced, let me know before March 3nd.)

These patrols will be due by March 6th at 11:59 PM EST. If you need an extension, please let me know before then, however, you may ask for an extension up to three days after the due date (March 9th). If this is done, you may still be subject to very minor punishment (such as a scolding or being sent out to find the herbs again, as well as Springpaw’s disappointment).

Lack of communication whatsoever will result in a moderate punishment. Communication after the due date will result in a minor punishment. Communicating that you are not able to finish the patrol on time/asking for an extension will result in no punishments.

When it comes to replies, bumping someone after 48 hours with no response is acceptable, but after 72 hours you may skip their turn.

Patrol leaders, please remember to add your patrols to the patrol menu! If you do not know how, please let me know, and I can add it there for you. Thank you for reading!

Patrols were needed now more than ever. With the recent events of the battle having barely been over, cats had been storming into camp with injuries far more crucial than what Springpaw had ever seen. Never in her life had she ever thought that she saw a place so void of supplies. Almost all of the scant herbs had seemingly just… vanished out of thin air due to the fact that a good portion of them had been taken to be used for the sole purpose of aiding her clan-mates during the whole scenario at the raid, but of course, everyone knows how that went. Her brain ransacked in hopes that cats would actually be appreciative and show up for once when she needed to send out patrols. Some cats just preferred to show their true colors, didn’t they? Especially when they just showed nothing but pure narcissism towards each and every little thing that they hear from Bumblestar herself or just something in particular. It was just annoying in general, and a pain in the tail to deal with. Although, it was better for her to not fret, as she needed to focus on her current task at paw. Sending out these emergency patrols. If no one bothers to show up whatsoever for these patrols, then there is going to be problems not only just relating to her, but with Bumblestar herself if she went out of her way to tell her about anyone’s absence.

“Alright… everyone!… Time for… patrols! These… are not… ordinary… patrols… these are… needed for… everyone who… came back… from the… raid… so I… expect… you all… to come… back… with a…good portion… of herbs!” Springpaw cried out, ignoring the aching sensation within her throat as she stared around the clearing for cats to set on patrol, setting her eye on her first set of cats. “Violetfreckle[ @vellichor ]… you will… take… Mudhound[ @Rani ]… with you… to Firefly Cove… to search… for yellow bells… and clusters… of sticks… for yellow bells… they look… like… vibrant… yellow flowers… they work… just like… marigold… but we may… need both… in case… we run… out of… one or… the other.” It seemed generally simple enough, but without an actual example of what the herb looked like, she may almost be certain that both of the warriors could come back with the wrong herb! Hopefully no such incident may occur.

“Next up… Skunkstrike[ @Tiabirb ]… I want you… to take… Sprucepaw[ @Alchemist Kitsune ]… and search for… lots of… marigold… and moss… down by… Cattail Pond… in case… I already… told you… what marigold… looks like… I will… remind you… marigold… looks like… a golden-yellow… flower… that is often… noticed by… water… and I am… already certain… that you… know what… moss looks like… but make sure… to try… to collect… as much… as you can… these cats… will be… needing them.” Stars, her throat was starting to burn and ache from the continuous rambling, but she couldn’t stop herself there. She needed to get at least two more patrols out before she could even consider herself down. Or, even give herself a break from overusing her vocal cords, that is. They already ached worse than hell for all that mattered right now.

“Strawberrymumble[ @Fawnheart<3 ],” the pastel calico eyed the apricot oriental for a short moment before continuing to state out her patrols, “you will be… taking… Mistheart[ @Jayvines ]… with you… to Haggard Ruins… to search for… poppy flowers… and cobwebs… poppy flowers… look like… red flowers… with soft… petals… but be careful… they are… difficult to find… same going for… cobwebs… but please… try to… collect as… much as… possible.” There wasn’t much to state to that, only thoroughly looking over both of the mollies before departing her attention towards the last set of patrols that she was going to send out. Thank lord for her vocal cords to finally catch a break.

Well, at least the more important herbs were out of the way. Now, for the last one, she could either have the choice of having these cats go out and collect the same herbs as the other patrols were doing, or have them collect a different set of herbs. Even with the more important herbs out of the way, there were still so many things needed. She needed to make sure that there was going to be enough currently within the medicine den to hopefully help whoever comes along her way to receive any healing. Hell, she hadn’t even thought about looking over herself yet because she had already been so worked up with trying to make sure everyone else was alright and doing fine! A low, annoyed sigh expelled past her lips, her eyes finally landing on her final duo for patrols. “Eaglespirit[ @shoomy! ]… and Eggbite[ @Ladiebugg ], you… both will… be going… to Willow’s Rise… to look for… coltsfoot… and more marigold… please… im… certain that… I don’t… need to repeat… myself for… what marigold… looks like… but coltsfoot looks… like a flowering plant… with white or yellow flowers… it almost… resembles a dandelion… and has a rich… fragrant scent.”
