Vinepaw looked around. She knew how to swim, she wanted to do this @spade

COMPLETED SWIMMING LESSON TO PREVENT INSTANCES OF DROWNING

Event [#event]

Tensions were rising, bubbling up and nearing a breaking point, and Kestrelstar felt as though his Clan was hardly prepared. Pacing all day in the leaders' den had done nothing but wear into the soft soil and cause his legs to ache. So many thoughts raced through his brain, the most prominent one being the fact that training needed to be ramped up in camp. With all of the reassignments he seemed to be doing each meeting, the leader was beginning to doubt a majority of his warriors were even good mentors.

Finally he couldn't take it and strode out of the den and into the center of the clearing. It was nearing sunhigh, so the dawn patrols would be back as well as the hunting patrols. "Warriors and Apprentices of RiverClan, gather around!" he called, lifting his tail in command as he waited for the cats to join him.

"With the circumstances surrounding the events at Smallpines and the growing tensions, I want us to be as well trained and as prepared as possible. I will be leading water combat training in case you should ever need it. I encourage apprentices to join, as well as any warriors who may want to join their apprentices or brush up on their combat skills."

With that, he signaled with his tail for the gathered group to follow him out to the training island, reaching it in a rather short time. Surrounded by water, it would be a smart place to practice. "If you're interested in participating, say so now and line up."

HOW THIS EVENT WORKS:

⟿ This will be treated as a battle training experience for all apprentices who enter!
⟿ Have your interested characters follow Kestrelstar out to the training island and nearby areas
⟿ I will pair up warriors to apprentices (provided there are enough*) as partners for this event
*(left over warriors will be paired together)
⟿ Kestrelstar will demonstrate a water combat move to the paired groups for the apprentices to attempt
⟿ Each move that is attempted by the apprentice within the group will garner 1 point; a dice roll every 24 hours will
determine if the move lands successfully or not:

Attempting the move: 1 point
Unsuccessfully: 2 points
Successfully: 3 points

⟿ At the end of each 24 hour round, point tallies will be accumulated and the two
apprentices and warriors with the most points will earn special, advanced training from Kestrelstar

Other than that, have fun and gain some water specific training for your apprentice!

PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS OR MENTION ME, AS I WILL BE CONSTANTLY CHECKING THIS THREAD! ^^

Nightleap walked up with the other cats. “I’m here!”

[Pand1440]

The former loner hurried over to where his clanmates were gathering. Battle training??! As much as he hated battle,,, he couldn't just leave RiverClan now that he was finally getting used to it. This was his new family. Cedar and Courage were gone- but this,,, these cats felt important. Like he would protect them as much as he would have guarded his mate & kit along with his friends. "I'm ,, i- in."

[Willie Warf]

Stone foot ran to the front." Riverclans fastest swimmer, reporting for duty!" He said as he leaped at kestrelstar.

@spade

[Quickpaw]

Stonewing didn't want to do it, but then he heard "combat training" and smiled. He was definitely going to participate.

[Roseleader]

Rosepaw followed Kerstelstar's scent thinking that it wouldn't hurt, thought she had learned to fight before going missing.

[MooingPanda]

Brambleheart pricked his ears. This sounded exciting. It was a good way to relieve some tension that had been gripping the Clan for the last couple moons. He padded over to Kestrelstar.

[Puddle~]

Wow! Water combat training sounded super duper awesome! Baypaw excitedly rushed over to where everyone else was gathering and secured a spot in the forming line. "Count me in!" They hadn't actually gone swimming in... quite a long time, but surely it'd be fine. After all, if they'd been able to do it as a kit, they should still be able to do it now, right?

[Abyssopelagic]

Palepaw trotted over to the slowly forming group of cats. She was particularly intrested in the training aspect. She wasn't the best at swimming but any edge she could get in battle she'd take. She'd become better at swimming just to put this to use at least once. Considering the other Clans didn't do a lot of swimming, she wasn't sure it would ever be useful, but knowledge was knowledge.

Streampelt padded over to Kestrelstar and waited for further instructions.
