THESE PATROLS ARE DUE OCTOBER 15TH
If an extension is needed, please let me know via visitor message prior to October 14th!
If you do not wish to be placed on a patrol, let me know by October 5th and I will find a replacement.
If there are any mistakes such as an assigned patrol member being on hiatus or an incorrectly tagged character, please let me know so I can correct them.
Patrols that do not report in or report in late are subject to in-character punishment by Copperfire and/or Sparrowstar!

Patrol leaders, when reporting, please mention me with your character providing the patrol report to Copperfire!

- Copperfire -
He/Him

It was time for patrols once again. Copperfire could only hope this batch of patrols would actually report back. Maybe it was because he left for his own patrol? He'd stay back this time.

"Gather for patrols!" He called. "Leafbare will be upon us before we even know it, I want everyone to do their best to complete these patrols. Make sure outsiders aren't on our territory and make sure to report anything amiss. If your patrol leader doesn't show up, do still try to do the patrol and report back without them." These cats would make him furless by the time Leafbare came by. Being a deputy was not good for his stress levels. He was this close to begging StarClan to take over, maybe they'd be better at finding cats who actually would do their patrol work and do it well.

SMALLPINES [RIVERCLAN BORDER]

Now he had to actually assign cats. He better get started then. "Feathernose, you'll be going to the Smallpines with Ashpaw, and Smallvine."

THUNDERGLADE [WINDCLAN BORDER]

"Lavendermask, go to the Thunderglade. Ashblaze, and Emberpaw will be joining you." This border didn't seem to be causing any trouble last time. Perhaps this time it would be just as calm.

HERONDIVE HOLLOW [SHADOWCLAN BORDER]

"Rainspark, I want you to go to the Herondive Hollow, and take Sycamorepaw, and Wolfspirit with you." The ShadowClan border always made him uneasy. Dawnstar's presence seemed to linger on the other clan's territory even if she herself hadn't been there recently. Copperfire gladly passed up the opportunity to patrol this border himself.

WISTERIA FALLS HUNTING PATROL

Now onto the hunting patrols. He didn't want to overhunt the territory, but at the same time, the cold temperatures were quickly approaching. It would only be a matter of time before most prey hid away. Tough decisions. It wasn't that cold yet, surely they could wait longer before catching as much prey as they could, right? "Blackfir, and Juniperpaw, go to the Wisteria Falls for a hunting patrol."

GIANT'S REST HUNTING PATROL

"Mudsplash, take Crocuspaw to Giant's Rest for a hunt." Crocuspaw had recently been an outsider. It would be interesting to see what their clan's new apprentice could do. Copperfire would make sure to keep this patrol's results in mind.

The deputy got ready to wait and not waste his day because these cats would definitely report their patrols in a timely manner.
