Good morning, Shadowclan! Newleaf is just around the corner and leafbare's drama was apparently not enough. With strife against Thunderclan looming and the weather ripening for conflict, what could possibly go wrong? Except losing their entire herb supply...
In the coming days, Elmshadow will receive a prophecy warning him about an impending disaster that will ruin Shadowclan's herb supply. After waking, he will find a sign that he takes as pointing him in the direction of the cat who will protect the herbs. This cat is young and inexperienced but, without knowing the exact threat, he can't find a reason to ignore it. So this cat, likely along with a few others, will be chosen by Elmshadow, Ivysnake, and Dawnstar to help guard the herbs. However, when the threat does arrive (likely in the form of a rat that has broken into camp) the young warrior/older apprentice's inexperience is made apparent when they chase after the rodent in an attempt to kill it but end up chasing it straight into the herb stores. In the chase and scuffle, a majority of the herbs are damaged beyond saving.
Roles:
-
A young warrior or older apprentice. They will be the subject of the sign from the Dark Forest but will ultimately chase the rat into the herb stores, damaging the herb supply - Daypaw @
xavier.
- Other guards (0/3?). These will be cats who have some level of trust from Elmshadow, Ivysnake, and/or Dawnstar
Considerations:
- The young warrior/apprentice must have some role in the destruction but whether that is simply accidentally chasing the rat in and then stopping, chasing it in circles inside the den until it's chased back out, or getting into a full on scuffle inside the den and killing the rat is up to you (or open for other courses)
- The young warrior/apprentice may be subject to Dawnstar's wrath. As long as they were simply doing their job and it came down to pure inexperience and not blatant stupidity, Elmshadow will vouch for them but keep in mind that if Elmshadow deems your cat's course of action as stupid then they will not have his support and may end up being punished. You've been warned
- Other guards, depending on circumstances and prevailing moods, these cats may also be subject to punishment or disappointment
- The guards will likely be split into shifts, working in pairs, so most likely whoever is not "on duty" will escape punishment. The partner of the young warrior/apprentice may or may not be safe, however
With that all said, apply at your own risk ^^
