Uncompleted patrols are subject to a grouchy Gingerfrost and punishment. ]

Another round of patrols. He was starting to get used to this. Hopefully these would proceed better than the last.

Borders:

[ Optional Prompt: Everything is well at the ThunderClan border and nothing happens. ]
"Sprucecrow [ @Erebus ]! Go with Scalefluff [ @The_CatLady ] and Rabbitpaw [
@Sp00k3z ] to Smallpines.”
Hopefully it would be an uneventful patrol this time. Between a fox and a lost kit Gingerfrost wasn't thrilled with what's been happening there.

[ Optional Prompt: Someone's paw gets stuck in a sudden but small hole and needs help to get it out. ]
Next up was ShadowClan;
"Fogcloud [ @perseus. ]; take Flintfang [ @Kat ] and Nightpaw [ @Beanzi ] with you to Saltmeadow Marsh."

[ Optional Prompt: You find a half eaten rabbit, where could it have come from? ]
“Aldermane [ @Abyssopelagic ], you're going with Snowfern [ @Quasar ] and Goldenpaw [ @~Half-A-Witch-Ace~ ] to Sedgewater Valley. Mark the border thoroughly, the last patrol was lacking.”
He wasn't kidding (well, he never did), 'lacking' was putting it lightly in fact. They didn't show up, at all. So the tabby took care of it himself but one cat can hardly match the thoroughness of a whole patrol. He was expecting that this batch would do better than the last.


Hunting:

[ Optional Prompt: You find a rat nest tucked away between some stones. What do you do? ]
"Slatestripe [ @Cherry~ ], you'll be hunting at Haven Springs with Whitesnake [ @WinterMara ]."

[ Optional Prompt: A bunch of strange, shiny things have washed up on shore. Any idea what they are? Is it edible? ]
"Reedwhisker [ @SpiritedWarrior ], take Sunspirit [ @~Umbreon~ ] with you to hunt at Lionsbeach."
Patrols there had been fairly well lately, less disappointing than the others at least. Hopefully this time would be no different.

[ Optional Prompt: You find some sort of sleeping nest. Do you destroy it? ]
"Raccoonear [ @lane. ], take Redhaze [ @Neso ] with you to hunt in our main hunting grounds."

[ Optional Prompt: Despite the Thicket's eeriness, there seems to be no trouble finding prey! Is it because it's been so calm here? ]
"Lilycreek [ @lonely.lilyx ], Motheye [ @candy hearts. ]; you two will be hunting in Sleepy Thicket -- the part where it's safe to hunt."
He still found it awkward hunting within the same area they buried their fallen warriors but.. Well, they could use all the hunting grounds they had in leafbare. As long as they were mindful, it should be alright for now.


Silently Gingerfrost watched for each warrior and apprentice he'd summoned, awaiting their union and departure before he left himself. The last batch of patrols hadn't been great, he hoped these members would better move things along this time. It'd only cause trouble if hunting patrols kept bringing back little and borders remained poorly marked.

• Everyone If someone hasn't replied within 72h (3 days) you are encouraged to skip them. Try bumping them beforehand, however.
  
• Hunting patrols are required to make a post in the clearing of them putting their prey on the preypile, before the patrol is reported.
  
• Border patrols are to make two posts at their assigned border each, one of which should be them marking the border. Failure to do so will result in a poorly marked border.
  
• Patrol leaders (or reporters) please specify if all members were present and participated. Only showing up once does not count.
  
• Apprentices if none of the warriors on your patrol show up after four days have passed, please make a post explaining so to Gingerfrost.
