Please keep a few things in mind before you respond to the prompt below... - In the interest of making sure new regions are revealed as quickly as possible, all in-character posts must be 200 words or less. If you go a few words over the limit, no big deal. For those who typically write longer posts, this will be a great challenge to keep your posts concise!
- Every three posts made by patrol members, I will post another prompt for everyone to respond to, and we will continue posting in this format while I reveal the new areas discovered to your characters!
- This is a quick post event, so try to get out your replies as soon as you can! The Clans will be settling into their new homes towards the end of Greenleaf, so this is a back-dated event.
- We have provided a very simple posting template for you to use. Some of your custom-designed templates might not work as well for shorter posts, so feel free to use it! It is optional, so you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

Still have questions? Feel free to reach out to me or anyone else on the staff team! Initial Prompt It took half the morning just to carefully make your way through the yellowed grasses and unfamiliar pools of water at the base of the mountain. Your party, tails flicking and eyes alert for even a hint of movement, stays close. No one is willing to venture too far from the party lead (NightClan's deputy, Dapplefire). For those of you that once walked NightClan's black-pine forests and remember the familiar scent of the marshes, the change to sodden territory is welcome. Even if the earthquake has disrupted so much and changed the very landscape around you, you know deep in your bones that you are close to something familiar... Instead of dense pine, however, you see water. Could it be that the flood waters haven't receded yet? But no, that's not it. The water smells fresh, and you can already hear the low croaking of frogs. What's left of the morning mist still curls and drifts off the surface of the nearby water... Date: Greenleaf 25 - Fog rolls in during the morning, but quickly dissipates beneath the sun. The air is significantly cooler after the storm, and the skies are clear for the exploration parties coming down from the mountains. Objective: Take stock of the new territory, discover a potential camp area, report your findings back to whichever leader you follow.

[googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900] BRINDLEMASK WARRIORESS OF NIGHTCLAN It was a difficult thought to process that the valley the clans had lived in for so long was now a shadow of its former self. Though, admittedly, even with the destruction the earthquake had caused, there was something almost alluring about setting their sights on what their home had become. Amber eyes scanned to either side of them, glancing only briefly over the land around them. She had explored practically every inch of Nightclan's territory throughout her moons, and yet all of the land she had memorized was now different. She could barely tell where exactly they were in relation to the way the valley once was. It was almost internally humiliating to think that she, a master of her own home and its land, had no idea where they were. But even with this thought, there was something about this place they found themselves in. The water was not the same as Nightclan's, but that subtle scent suggested that they were close. But where were they? Brindlemask turned slightly, eyes finding Dapplefire, the party's assigned Leader. "Could we be near Starclan's Claws?"TAGGED: Amber Katara @ide @sable FawnNOTES: 184

[googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900] SUMMITWATCHER WARRIOR OF TREECLAN Large paws squelched as the ground shifted to sodden earth, causing the tabby and white warrior they carried to recoil in disgust. Mud between the toes was NOT a pleasant feeling, but looking ahead at the territory before them, it seemed it would be a while before he could set paw on drier ground again. Summitwatcher's tufted ears flicked as he caught the NightClan warrior's words. "I don't remember there being water this close to StarClan's Claws. Anyone recognizes any of this?" Summitwatcher's tail tip flicked as he fought the increasing urge to shake the mud from his paws. He was a strong warrior; he would not show weakness in front of anyone. Irritation, however, was another matter. Golden eyes scanned the area before them, narrowing at the water nearby. "Hey, wasn't there a river in this area at one point? I know I'm still young, but that does not look like a river." TAGGED: Katara @ide @sable Fawn AbyssNOTES: 160 words

[googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900] DRIZZLEPAW APPRENTICE OF RAINCLAN The past half-moon had been strange for Drizzlepaw, but not entirely unwelcome. The disaster that had unfolded upon the Clans had certainly shaken many, but it would never shake Drizzlepaw's faith in StarClan. They had a plan, she knew they did, and this was part of it. She was eager to be part of that plan, so when the first murmurs of a patrol being sent to explore the territories emerged, she made sure she would be on it no matter what. She only regretted that Puddlepaw wasn't here with her. So far, she'd kept up with the patrol in respectful silence, but now as she caught the scent of fresh water, her ears perked up and her tail waved high in the air. " The river?" she piped up, peering around Summitwatcher's enormous figure. She narrowed her eyes at the shining expanse in the distance, and said with certainty: " That's definitely not the river, it's further away from here. Could StarClan have changed its path with the earthquake?" she suggested. Drizzlepaw wanted to go investigate that instant, but knew it was her job to listen to the warriors on the patrol - they were, after all, more experienced.

Prompt Stretching almost as far as the feline eye can see, is an enormous body of water. The closer the party gets, the more they can make out the distinctive skinny shapes of pine trees in the distance. Where once RainClan's mighty river coursed through the valley, there is now a lake, aptly named for the thin layer of mist that the sunlight has not yet burned away. A wooded island is just visible to the south, near a smaller body of water. It is difficult to tell how deep the lake truly is, but any cat approaching can see that it is almost-clear closest to the muddy, stick-strewn shoreline. To the north, a thick collection of trees - willow? cypress? - curves inward, and the party members are able to get a sense that the lake starts to narrow in this direction. A callback to the river it had been not even a half-moon ago. Objective: Take stock of the new territory, discover a potential camp area, report your findings back to whichever leader you follow.

[googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900] Sootpaw Apprentice OF NightCLAN Sootpaw had been thrilled for the chance to get out of the Tribe's cave. It was crowded, noisy, stinky, and the landscape was just too steep and rocky for her paws. Cuts and scrapes had been a daily thing, and she'd quickly tired of the way her claws snagged against loose pebbles, or how often she misstepped and had to scramble to keep from sliding across slick rock with nothing to grab to stabilize herself. She hated everything about all of this, and she couldn't wait to settle back into familiar land. As much as they could, anyway. Turning a cool look on the cats not from NightClan, Sootpaw stuck close to Dapplefire and Brindlemask. The damp earth and the scent of water- not quite the same but close enough- soothed frayed nerves, and she had to fight to keep from darting over to hunt for a frog. It'd been too long, really. Patched ears flicked as Brindlemask spoke and she glanced up at the NightClan warrior. Prey. Her tongue swiped at her jaws at the thought, and at the urging nod Sootpaw bounded away instantly. Marshy ground she knew, and she wasn't nearly as bothered by mud between her toes. She'd have to stay within sight, sure, but there was still plenty she could do even with that rule to keep in mind.

[googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900] BROOKFALL WARRIOR OF RAINCLAN Brookfall focus was entirely on the lake. The familiar peeping croak of frogs was a comfort, but he could not be distracted from the strange thrill that filled him at the sight of so much water. It had to be the river. Brookfall looked up and down the long bank, trying to reconcile the territory he'd spent his entire life in with what was right in front of him. Hailing Dapplefire, the large silvery-white tom approached, even as his yellow eyes darted again to the waterline. "I am going to see how far I can go before it gets too deep. I'll be careful."It wouldn't do to drown on the Clans' first opportunity to explore the valley. Brookfall put Drizzlepaw in the center of his sights, and he sized up the apprentice, wondering if she could handle the task of swimming out into unknown waters. He didn't dissuade her, merely gave a nod to her, Hickoryfoot and Waverunner, before wading into the cool, rippling lake water. TAGGED: Ghost the Undead Goddess mintedstar/fur Abyss Amber Katara @sable NOTES: blah blah blah [googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900] DAPPLEFIRE DEPUTY OF NIGHTCLAN "Don't take too long, it could get dangerous." Dapplefire responded, posture shifting so that she could look up at the large RainClan warrior. "The rest of us will press on ahead." So there wouldn't be back up if anything happened during the swim... Dapplefire flicked her tail, resolving to let the tom's Clanmates work out some sort of buddy system. It was fortunate that they were willing to go where she - and many of her Clanmates - were not. The monstrous lake that had swallowed up this river was too daunting. Too impenetrable to cats who preferred its marshy, peaty skirts over the lapping, treacherous looking depths. She would go if Cloverstar demanded it of her, but the calm, calculating leader of NightClan was no where to be seen right now, and that unpleasant duty was all RainClan's. Dapplefire tracked Sootpaw's movements, keeping a close eye on the apprentice that bounded forward, eager to do something normal like hunt on territory that was familiar. "Everyone else, stay close to me!" Dapplefire raised her voice to make sure the remaining party members could hear her, the tortoiseshell pressing on into semi-familiar terrain.

Prompt An island juts out of the Misted Lake like a tick. Unflattering imagery for a fragment of woodland, appearing almost idyllic after the calamitous events of the earthquake. Water-thrashed trees, though still damp of bark from the flooding they've endured, are already showing signs of greenery and life beginning to rise up around their trunks and boughs. There is the promise of hunting on this island reprieve, as well as fishing potential along the uneven rocky embankment skirting the entire landmass. The distance from the bank is roughly a quarter mile, and will require strong swimmers to reach the island and back without great difficulty. Could this serve as a new camp...? Viewable from the island is the other side of the lake. Your patrol has discovered a new location: Crayfish Beach!The damage done to the valley has forced MistClan to seek food further downriver from their typical territories. With this exploration they will discover a small freshwater beach with beautiful sandy banks that feel wonderful beneath the paws. The river next to this beach will hold a population of new prey: crayfish. The rich sands along this beach also make a wonderful place for young cats to play. Apprentices will realise that the wet sand makes an excellent medium for making "shapes", as they say. Other freshwater shellfish such as clams can also be found here, which can make excellent decorations for nests. Exploration can continue south along the Misted Lake towards another small body of water, or north along the Misted Lake towards the tangled, odd looking woods!

Waverunner Warrior of Rainclan His heart ached in his chest, but it wasn't the first time that the growing warrior had felt such pain and distraught. His whole life seemed to revolve around one tragedy after another, but at least he was able to survive with the likes of Owlfrost, the she-cat that held his beating organ within her soft paws. The slender blue-gray tomcat was pulled from his thoughts of the tabby she-cat at the sound of a feline gliding through the delights of water. Soft green hues shifted to watch as Brookfall made his way through this misted lake, which called to him like an old friend. It caused a soft smile to reach his maw. Glancing down at Drizzlepaw next to him, Waverunner gently let his tail brush against her flank before padding forwards to let the cool water brush his toes. "You can swim next to me or stay with Hickoryfoot on the shore." He said in a gentle rumble before following his older clanmate out into the deeper parts of the water. It felt good to have the cool water soak at his belly fur as his paws churned softly, bringing him up towards where Brookfall was breeching the shore of the wooded island.

Hickoryfoot Warrior OF RainClan Hickoryfoot's tail was up in excitement and it was clear to anyone who even looked at her that there was a distinct lack of sadness around her for the home she had lost. Oh, she was sad. Mostly at night when she had to think about it. When there weren't distractions like there was now. But now? She was living! Waiting to find everything new that this place had to offer. Whatever that might be. She glanced at Drizzlepaw and grinning, tail waving. From what Waverunner had said, she was assuming that she was supposed to be staying here on the shore. So this was exactly what she did. Only she also started padding along it, heading north, watching the heads of Waverunner and Brookfall as they made for the island. But also trying to scan the area for other landmarks on the shore. After all, they were here to look at more than just one place. " What about over here?" she asked both Drizzlepaw and the rest of the patrol, angling her ears in the direction she'd started to pad.

[googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900] BRINDLEMASK WARRIORESS OF NIGHTCLAN The island that jutted from the lake ahead had become a great point of interest, it seemed. Though it was not unsurprising, for what better place for cats who thrived in water to gravitate towards. The torbie vaguely remembered hearing that Rainclan's old camp had been an island in the middle of the river, though she doubted that island was as big as this one, nor was the distance between island and shore as far. She very briefly wondered if the Rainclan cats would shoot for that island becoming their new home. Her attention flickered to elsewhere, though, glancing to either side of the lake at their surroundings. There was another area that appeared to have water in the distance, and another with seemingly mangled trees. She blinked a few times, watching where the other cats went only for a moment before turning, padding quietly towards the distant trees. She hadn't intentionally followed Hickoryfoot, but it seemed they both were intended in this direction while the others made their choices. Her eyes scanned ahead of her, the thought of her old territory in her mind. Rainclan didn't have many trees back when, but Nightclan did. Maybe these trees would be familiar, no matter their misshapen forms? Any sort of familiarity was eagerly sought after from this she-cat.

Prompt As the party moves to the north, curving inwards where the Misted Lake narrows, time continues to pass. It is sunhigh by the time they reach the dense, odd looking woods. What was once the willow stream - a place of bounty for cats eager to fish for their Clan, and a place of privacy and sentiment for those of more romantic inclinations - has become a veritable labyrinth of roots. The earthquake and the fluctuations of the river have ripped away the soil, exposing an elaborate root system that puts into perspective just how old and how immense the willows truly are. Small fish can be glimpsed darting through pools shaded by the thickly tangled roots, and the water's depth fluctuates. Some places are shallow enough and clear enough to see straight through to the bottom, and cats can stand perfectly still with no fear of drowning. More territory is waiting to be discovered! The party now has a safe place to cross, the opposite bank promising a place of damp pines and fertile marshland. The party has the option to follow what's left of the river towards the valley's center, or they can choose to wait for the remainder of their party to join them. Objective: Take stock of the new territory, discover a potential camp area, report your findings back to whichever leader you follow.

I'm never safe, it's not a phase; if I finally break would you still stay? |

[googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900] SUMMITWATCHER WARRIOR OF TREECLAN The large tom watched in distaste as the two RainClan warriors began wading into the lake. Swimming was not on his list of things he wanted to do before he died, so he instead decided to leave it to them and follow the rest of the patrol as they moved along the lake shore. He remained silent as the journey continued, yellow eyes narrow as he took in everything around them. As they drew closer to the forest, his steps became more confident. Even though they were oddly twisted and not the same varieties he was used to seeing in TreeClan’s territory, forests felt safer. The willows arched overhead, and Summitwatcher’s attention was drawn to the exposed root structures below. They were a tangled mess, embedded deep into the waters of the stream between them. His heart sank a little. So much water. Peering down, though, he could see shiny flashes, so at the very least, RainClan cats would be able to find some sort of food here. Looking across the stream, the forest continued, shifting to the pines that used to shelter NightClan’s cats. He glanced back to the rest of the patrol. “Should we continue across and into the forest? Or should we wait for the others?”TAGGED: Katara @ide @sable Fawn Ghost the Undead Goddess mintedstar/fur AbyssNOTES: 209 words

[googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900] DRIZZLEPAW APPRENTICE OF RAINCLAN Drizzlepaw was secretly relieved she'd had the option to stay on the shore with Hickoryfoot - the idea of swimming in the vast, open water made her a bit uneasy. But was there still anything like the river? Her question felt like it may have been answered when they glimpsed another sheen of water up ahead, among the mass of willow tree roots. Eagerly, she approached the edge of the water as soon as they came within reach. " Look, there's fish here too!" she whispered, looking at Hickoryfoot with shining eyes. She returned her attention to the water, flashing out a paw instinctively as a fish swam within reach. It darted away, surprising her and catching her off balance so her foreleg plunged straight into the cool water. Her heart lurched, but quickly found the water surrounding the roots was shallow, only coming up to her shoulders when she fully waded in. " I think we should cross," mewed Drizzlepaw, " even drypaws can't drown here!" she couldn't help adding. " I mean... whatever you think is best, Dapplefire." She dipped her head awkwardly at the NightClan she-cat, finding it strange deferring to a deputy of another Clan. TAGGED: @sable, Fawn, Ghost the Undead Goddess, Abyss, Amber, mintedstar/furNOTES: 195 words [googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900] DAPPLEFIRE DEPUTY OF NIGHTCLAN "We'll keep going," said Dapplefire, her attention focused on the strange network of roots before them. The young-looking TreeClan cat had asked a good question - and it only took but a few minutes to reach a decision. "Waverunner and Brookfall should be able to track us at least this far. I will stay back to ensure they know which way to go." It was her understanding that scents became lost when bodies of crossable water got involved. "I think we should cross, even drypaws can't drown here!"The outburst made Dapplefire's muzzle crease into a small smile. It was good to see the apprentice hadn't lost their spirit. "That's the hope. Brindlemask," tortoiseshell spoke to tortoiseshell, placing temporary leadership onto the younger. "I want you to keep an eye on the group while I herd the other two back. Be careful when crossing." She didn't like the looks of those roots. The way they twisted, it was as if they could snatch a cat and drown them before they could even mewl for StarClan. Slowly turning to face the ground they had already trod, Dapplefire padded back towards the Misted Lake to round up the wayward toms. TAGGED: @ NOTES: blah blah blah

[googlefont=Poppins,800][googlefont=Nunito,400,400i,900,900i] [attr="class","topheader"] [attr="class","topheadertitle"] New Location!New Location![attr="class","topheaderb"] [attr="class","anncontent"] Your patrol has discovered a new location: Black Marsh! Prompt The party has split into three parts: those returning from the Wooded Island, those who chose to wait for them, and the remaining party members who have forded the Willowroot Labyrinth into the marshes beyond. For anyone with NightClan descent, the area feels at once familiar yet changed. Tall black pines and wet earth, the ground beneath their paws is a mix of peat and mud, and there are lingering puddles left over from where the river broke its banks. It has all the symptoms of the forest after a flood, but it is rich in sounds of life and it will not take long for new growth to push up through the black soil. The exploration can continue deeper into the marshlands, where thick moss and old trees linger, or follow the lake's tail and see where it ends. Objective: Take stock of the new territory, discover a potential camp area, report your findings back to whichever leader you follow.
