After dropping off their findings within the herb storage, Gingerfrost padded up to Stonepaw with a nod. "The patrol was.. eventful. We ran into some angry geese, but were still able to find some herbs. They're in your den."
He reported briefly, not quite wanting to elaborate on the goose chase. That was something no one needed to know about.
Sedgestorm padded back into camp. His patrol had been.... somewhat of a success!
Mistcloud had gotten some tansy leaves, he'd picked some marigold, and Minnowpaw..... had a pawful of knowledge! Hrmmm... he couldn't remember if the apprentice had managed to collect something before they'd left Cattail Pond.
He padded over to Stonepaw and presented his find. "I've got some marigold! And Mistcloud has tansy. Minnowpaw should be here soon as well."
Trudging back with his own herbs in his maw, the medicine cat turned and nodded at Gingerfrost and Sedgestorm, grinning through the plants. "Mfmfmmmm. Gweesse?" Still, when the deputy didn't elaborate, he turned to look at Sedgestorm. And they had gotten stuff too! Hooray! It seemed like he had sent them out just in time. Spring was in full force, and they had all found something.

~Batpaw| @ophelia Beastflame @CAThrine Heronflight~
(cant find her image rn, ill get one later lol)
The black molly flicked her tail, enjoying a fish, before hearing patrols. "Beastflame, you will take Heronflight and Batpaw to the Smallpines!" the cat had said, or something like that. She shook her pelt, sweeping the bones into her decoration pile, before heading over with a large smile on her face. She tripped, almost falling. She sighed, shaking dirt out of her fur again, before looking around for her patrolmates. She loved patrols! She got to hunt or linr the border, and talk to new cats. She had never been to the small pines before, and this seemed like fun. She sat down, before calling out. "Beastflame? Heronflight?" and watching for the older cats. She hoped they wouldnt find her high pitched voice annoying, like so many cats she ay least used to know did. She groomed her oaw and kegs, waiting calmly for them again, watching out of the corner of her green eyes, wrapping her tail around her frail body.
Not paying attention the not quite elderly she-cat almost didn't hear her name get called. Standing up from where she was sitting he looked around before she heard her name get called. She saw Batpaw and moved over to them. Her first ever patrol back? Great! She couldn't wait. Soon her eyes wandered around to see if Petuniafire was anywhere. She felt bad for leaving her. They had been through so much, but she had to do this for her clan.
On a really good stride on here and Barleypaw is really close to getting her post counts finished for her training. If there is anyone who needs a cat to help with anything feel free to VM or pm. I want her to be more active along her clanmates.
Of course the preypile was low, over half the hunting patrols hadn't reported back. Honestly it was irksome, and the tabby far from pleased as he padded up into the clearing this morning. With a sharp lash of his tail, Gingerfrost raised his head to call out for the punished cats -- they'd do well to actually do their job this time. "Weaselfang, Beechpaw, Mistycloud, Ashpaw and Cloudpaw!"
[ @SpiritedWarrior @Cinderspirit @Kay~ @~_LuzuraTheTitan_~ @Archjay ]
"I hope each of you has a good reason for not completing your patrols, or you're all going back out to catch at least three pieces of prey."
Gingerfrost huffed, eyeing each of the felines. "Weaselfang you're taking Beechpaw with you. Mistycloud, you take the other two with you. I don't want to see this happen again."
[ Punishments are due Saturday, May 20th. You may request an extension before that date if necessary.
Each will be required to make a minimum of three posts:
One here accepting the punishment t, One completing it and One reporting back here.
Hunters, make sure to drop of your prey on the prey pilebefore reporting!
Failure to complete your punishment may result in severer reprimanding ]

Uncompleted patrols are subject to a grouchy Gingerfrost and punishment. ]
Gingerfrost knew Beansprout had already taken care of emergency hunting patrols not long ago (and thank goodness, with the slacking of the last patrols, the preypile had gotten awfully low). Now it was his turn however to send out patrols; and the grouchy tabby did hope that this time they would be performed with more care. Positioning himself, he looked over the clearing, mentally noting who to send out this time.
Borders:
[ Optional Prompt: It's awfully windy today: the wind is howling and leaves and sticks are falling from the trees! ] "Firelight [ @Beamheart ]. Take Darktwist [ @Shade. ] and Stonepaw [ @carmen ] with you to Smallpines.”
It'd hopefully do the young medicine cat good to see the territory a little.
[ Optional Prompt: You get caught in a terrible downpour, soaking your fur and making your paws all muddy ] "Nightspark [ @WhiteDawn ], you're going with Lilyleaf [ @~'Atlas-The-Lemon'~ ] and Russetpaw [ @birdie ] to Saltmeadow Marsh."
[ Optional Prompt: Ew? What's that smell? Crowfood... or did one of you forget to groom yourselves? ] “Siletripple [ @Silvershadow13 ], take Mintpool [ @Wingnettle ] and Dapplepaw [ @Snowyfeathr ] with you to Sedgewater Valley.”
[ Optional Prompt: While the area looks a little better, it has become all the more creepy. While walking, you feel like you're being followed... Or is it just your imagination? ] “Berryflare [ @Buzzin' Bee ], go patrol Sleepy Thicket with Specklemist [ @~LeafRabbit~ ] and Hiddenpaw [ @Marksman ].”
That was for border patrols. Gingerfrost huffed, pausing briefly. On to hunting patrols.
Hunting:
[ Optional Prompt: Gah, run! One of you overturns a stone, home to many, many little bugs! ] "Stormfeather [ @~CherylBlossom~ ] and Lambpaw [ @teddy. ]; you two are hunting at Haven Springs."
[ Optional Prompt: It recently rained, making the sand all icky and wet, sticking to your fur. ] "Silverstone [ @StormySong ], take Robinpaw [ @Wintersun ] with you to hunt at Lionsbeach."
[ Optional Prompt: There are water puddles everywhere. How fun! Do you jump in and splash your partner? ] "Antlerbeast [ @Butterfly Aubade ] and Smokepaw [ @Octavia! ], you'll be hunting within our main hunting grounds."
[ Optional Prompt: One of you tries to catch a fish, but it gets a away while slapping you with its tail! ] "Cinnamonpetal [ @lilith ], take Silverpaw [ @Cinnamonear ] with you to hunt at Cattail Pond."
With that the tabby sat, waiting a few moments to watch the different patrols gather and leave, as he always did.
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 here of their character putting their prey on the preypile, before the patrol is reported. Failure to do so may result in punishment.
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.

Specklemist flicked her tail, happy to be called on patrol. She flicked her gaze around, looking for the cats Gingerfrost said she was to join. Berryflare and Hiddenpaw. Both cool names. She might know them some, too.

Mistycloud gulped. Uh oh, well she had caught a fish, she just forgot to bring it back because the two apprentices she’d brought with her did absolute squat.
“Alright, it won’t happen again,” the molly frowned. She beckoned for the two apprentices to follow her, hopefully to get some land prey as the apprentices previously didn’t do well with catching fish.
At the mention of his name, he nodded to Gingerfrost and sat, waiting to the others to gather for their patrol, two names he didn't knew actually... But still, he hoped them to be efficient, but first, they had to come... He waited, his cold gaze looking around, scanning for his patrolmates, he was the patrol leader, and he would make sure everything will be alright...

Pondheart offers a smile to the other cats - Glisteningpaw and... Ferretsnap, correct? Yes, she tells herself with another soft smile as she walks to them.
