Ravenpaw followed behind Caveclaw, dipping her head to Berrypaw before laying down her collection of poppy seeds.

[5 poppy seeds]

”Here ya go!” She meowed proudly, lifting herself up after a job well done. She couldn’t help but feel satisfied with having done something useful.

Rainpaw came up behind Heroneye, blinking warmly at her sister, still carrying her stick with cobwebs. She set her stick down in front of Berrypaw then dipped her head respectfully. “I-I hope this helps!” She purred, feeling warmed and accomplished in the knowledge that this will help her clanmates.

[4 cobweb]

Once he was done checking in with Owltalon and Adderstrike, Foxleap ventured out further into the depths of the woods where they were searching. With the faintest scent of the strange purple petals being carried in a passing breeze, the russet tom darted after the scent trail as his long russet pelt trailed behind him gracefully. Slowing down, the handsome tom lowered his snout to the earth and nosed around a heather patch for a minute, searching around the overgrown shrubs before his tailed began lashing with excitement.

"I got two of them!" He yowled out-loud and ecstatically before pausing for a second and feeling his ears flatten against his head. Perhaps he worked himself up too much for only a couple! "Ah, can't count those chickens yet... or however the saying goes.." He muttered to himself, half amused but also concerned that there didn't seem to be anymore near where he was and time was running out. The young warrior anxiously dashed around but to no avail, but realizing that he had lose his teammates, Foxleap raised his head to the wind once more to catch the scent of the Clan camp before racing back to show Berrypaw what he had found. Better than nothing, he supposed...

Duskleaf

Duskleaf made his way over towards Berrypaw a little bit behind Willowtail and Softpaw, he was holding a bunch of marigold in his mouth and this time hadn’t ripped the entire root of the plant out to retrieve it. He placed the marigold down in front of Berrypaw, before taking a few steps back and smiling at his patrolmates.

"I tell ye, you two are rapid!" He said with a little laugh at the end. Then he turned to Berrypaw. "You'll be glad to know everything went well, we got the marigold and I’m glad I wasn’t racing against these two."

It was hard to talk with a maw full of moss, so Marigoldpaw opted for a brisk nod of agreement. She trotted beside Brokenstream, glancing to Deerspark every so often wondering why he wasn't ahead as well. Perhaps he was keeping watch? That was reasonable enough.

[Inventory - 2 moss]

Ah. Well, this was more than slightly pitiful. Deerspark would've loved to grab a few more herbs, but he wasn't exactly positive that any of them would be intact by the end of it. So, Deerspark took his one herb and trotted alongside the rest of them, allowing himself to slow towards the back. He just liked it better that way.

Once they reached the meeting place, Deerspark dropped his herb at the medicine cat apprentice's paws, flashing the younger cat an apologetic smile before dipping his head to both of his clanmates. He watched as Marigoldpaw fumbled slightly to get the moss from her teeth without damaging them, but she was successful regardless.

[Inventory - 1 moss]

[Both inventories have been emptied!]

Even if Owltalon wasn't entirely sure what Adderstrike was doing right now, they still had a good amount of borage and a few more hours before they had to return back to camp. In the meantime, Owltalon attempted to gather two more stalks of borage.

(I'm too lazy for formatting, it's late lol, but Owltalon rolled a 20 for probability/harvesting and a 4 for how intact the herb was. She failed the next one, sadly. But gal was never good with herbs lol.)

[+1 borage]

Her amber eye flicked over to Foxleap and she smiled widely. "Aye chap! Nice find man, think ya have a knack for these thin's, eh?" It was hard to talk through herbs, no doubt, but she managed it regardless. The younger warrior however seemed to be gone from the patrol (or WCO ate up Marigold's mentions again....) Owltalon glanced a bit for Adderstrike, but her eyes landed on nothing familiar. She let out a low hum before turning back to Foxleap, allowing another easy smile to spill into her expression.

"Foxleap, Adderstrike, make yer last trips. We're 'bout ta head back and we need as much as out maws can carry, al'ight?" The Lionheart then settled onto her paws, watching as the clouds crawled through the ocean-like sky.

[Inventory - 4 borage]

(Sorry for the double ping! Just so you know, the patrol is due before midnight tomorrow! We still have some time if anycat wants to gather anything more whilst still abiding to the 5 item limit)

Spiraltail was nice. Bravebolt was absent. Well, at least the two of them who had been bothered to do their job had been met with relative success, seeing as the former Windclan warrior had also collected a few berries. Hopefully they weren’t needed in pawfuls. I hope it’s whenuf! she chirped in response to the compliment on her collection, before adding You awlso have quite a fewh.

His next words were very, very welcome. Something to get this nasty horrible biley taste out of her mouth? Yes please! Following the tom’s gaze, she spotted the juicy black berries. She wasn’t terribly familiar with them, but she trusted him. Perhaps she ought not to, seeing as he had been a Windclan cat, but Splashleap was pretty naive. And she hadn’t really been part of the driving out. The blood and mud and death was a tale to her, but a real, traumatic event. So this former Windclanner could quite easily poison her, if he was so inclined.

Fortunately he was not, and no harm befell the molly as she snapped off a few juicy berries. Mmmmmmm. No more horrible tang. Ahh, tank you! You’re a genius! she purred, tail swishing happily. We godda head back, I don’t tink Bwavebolt is showhing up. She didn’t want to report late because of some other cats laziness. Berrypaw couldn’t blame her for not making Bravebolt show up, but she decidedly could blame her for taking forever.

Finally reaching the medicine cat apprentice, Splashleap spat out the berries. They left a small patch of gross taste on her tongue, but not nearly as bad as it had been. We found some juniper berries, but Bravebolt didn’t show up. she mewed, sort of waving a bit at Spiraltail to offer his own contribution. She had four berries, he had some as well, and that lout Bravebolt had none. @Tallstar @squidz @Yoshdo (Splash has 4 berries)
