WHITESTAR

LEADER OF GORGECLAN

Morning came quickly, and though his nerves sent tingles down his back, he looked to the brighter side of this. If they successfully destroyed the nest and got rid of the snakes, that would be one less danger for any of the clan to face when they left camp. And it meant that there would be no snakes found inside of the camp.

Whitestar padded from his den quite early, just as the sun began to poke its rays over the mountains. He walked silently to the prey-pile, grabbing a small squirrel from the middle and eating it quickly. Many others began to emerge from their dens, cats who had volunteered to join him today. He waited for all of them to get something to eat and went to the camp entrance, all of them eventually joining him.

“Remember, our goal is to kill as many snakes as we can and find this nest. If anyone falls behind or starts to struggle, I expect all of us to help each other. The last thing that I want is for us to lose anyone during this. We must act quickly, but carefully.”

He led the patrol of 15 into the gorge, and the quest began.

Hardly any time passes before Whitestar spots a couple of snakes in the distance. They are small, and had not noticed the large group of cats yet. Glancing to the side at a few of his companions, the white tom rushes forward, latching on to one of the snakes right around the neck.

NOTES:

The event begins! This post marks the beginning of the use of time limits between posting! Remember, all posts and their results are based on dice rolls done before you make your post. All dice rolls can be done in the 'Your-turn-to-roll' channel in the Discord. Posts do not have to be super long or detailed, as we want to get this event done relatively quickly ^^ Everyone has 36 hours to respond before it skips to the next poster in line.

RMEMBER.
The dice rolls are
11 - 20 : Successful kill
2 - 10 : Difficulty, requires assistance from next poster
1 : Bitten (you choose if it is venomous or not)

If the person before you rolls a 1-10, your character does not have to make a dice roll, as they are going to help kill the previous person's snake. You don't need to roll a dice to see if you successfully assist or not, you automatically successfully kill it.

Every snake is worth 5 HP, and the total to deplete is 50. I will be including an HP bar in all of my posts that sum up the damage done in all the other posts thus far.
Dice rolls made by NPCs do not count towards the snake HP, as they are mostly rolling to see if they get bitten or not.

POSTING ORDER

CINDERSTREAM

Cinderstream rolls a

14

Cinderstream followed quickly behind Whitestar, determined to help contain this infestation. They definitely did not need snakes invading camp let alone being all over the gorge every time cats enter it. It would just create a very dangerous situation for everyone. That and the gorge was a large part of their territory so it just wasn't an area the cats would be willing to just give up to scaled invaders. So she intended to do everything she could to help aid this fight
.
The gray tabby watches as Whitestar launches himself towards an unsuspecting group of smaller snakes. He successfully grabs ahold of the first snake, marking the first blood of this fight. She spots movement beside him from another snake of the group. She sprints forward as the snake goes to strike out at White, snapping her jaws around it's head and cutting it's attack very short.

WRENPAW

Wrenpaw rolls a

A dark bengal she-cat joins the growing party of cats in the camp. Snakes had become a huge problem for the clan as of late and their goal was to remedy this with an attack on the scaly critters. Wrenpaw was the only older apprentice to immediately volunteer to help with this endeavor. She needed to get in more battle practice and what better way to improve her skills than to go against a unique sort of enemy down in the gorge? That and she could use the battle as a way to make herself look big and bad to the other apprentices upon their return. She had a rep to protect after all.

The she-cat flanks Whitestar and Cinderstream, keeping along the outside of the group of cats as they descend into the gorge. Her yellow-green eyes scanning the area for any sort of movement. As Whitestar and Cinderstream go after a small group of snakes ahead, Wrenpaw spots movement along the gorge wall just in beside the older cat's location. She narrows her eyes and creeps up along the wall, pouncing on the snake sneaking along. She has some trouble, however, the snake trying to lunge at her paws making her do a sort of dance to try and avoid it. She would likely need some help here while she had the darn thing distracted.

BIRCHFROST

WARRIOR OF GORGECLAN

Joining a patrol to do as much damage as possible to a nest of snakes wasn't exactly something one would look forward to, but Birchfrost would be lying if he said he hadn't been excited to do this. To be fair, it was the most action he'd seen in his entire life so far. The earthquake had been far more lethal, but it wasn't something you could fight - but snakes? Snakes could be fought.

He knew it was game time when Whitestar suddenly leaped and dispatched a snake, prompting the rest of the patrol into movement. Wrenpaw, one of the apprentices nearest to him, went after a snake with claws beared, but it must have made a movement she hadn't anticipated because she suddenly skittered out of its way. Its quick bites were keeping her paws too busy to make a strike, so Birchfrost joined the fray.

"Can't bite us both!" he taunted the snake, even though it almost surely didn't understand him. The snake paid him no attention, too fixated on trying to sink its fangs into Wrenpaw, but the apprentice was so quick it didn't land a single strike. Birchfrost made a noise somewhere between a laugh and a growl as he took the opportunity to hit the snake hard over the head with unsheathed claws to kill it. He grinned at Wrenpaw, quite amazed at her performance. "That snake didn't even scratch you!"

CLOUDTAIL

Cloudtail rolls a

15

Cloudtail woke that morning, bright eyed and bushy tailed. He was ready to kill some snakes. He gave Petalrain fond lick between her ears before leaving the warriors' den to join Whitestar and the others who had volunteered to get rid of the snakes. He did not bother to eat from the fresh kill pile that morning, partially because the fresh kill pile was stale and cold, mostly because he believed that fighting snakes while hungry would make him a better hunter. 

The white tom followed his leader and almost immediately they find snakes. Cloudtail saw Cinderstream kill one snake, "Well caught!" he yowled as, out of the corner of his eye, Wrenpaw engaged another snake in a fight. Cloudtail raced past Birchfrost to a snake that had slithered out of the cracks nearby. It lashed out at him, but he dodged it deftly. The white warrior picked the snake up by the tail and whipped it around, stunning it, before biting it at the base of the head, ending its life. "Ha! One more for the fresh kill pile!" he meowed enthusiastically as he looked about for another snake. This was the most fun he'd had in moons!

OTTERBITE

WARRIOR OF GORGECLAN

Otterbite rolls a

1

They streamed into the gorge, a deadly pack of sleek pelts and unsheathed claws. Otterbite was a creamy blur among them, weaving his way towards the adder den with surefoot speed. Though he held no authority here, he liked to think he made a striking figure among his Clanmates. It had made him look very heroic to volunteer for this mission, and it was good to run at Weaselnose's side again.

"Nice kill," the bluepoint tom said as his brother dispatched one of the snakes. The first wave had come fast, but not too fast for the warriors to handle. He smirked at Weaselnose and looked around, spotting another adder slithering close. "I've got this one," he purred, unsheathing his claws. He looked around for a moment, hoping Robinflight was watching.

Pain flared suddenly in his leg and he leapt back on reflex, spine arching as he dislodged the snake that had just sunk both fangs into his front paw. The long, diamond-patterned body went flying, but the damage was done.

"I let it bite me," Otterbite said, limping on three legs. He looked around himself, blue-gray ears laid back flat to his head. The whites of his eyes showed, betraying his panic. Even so, his voice continued, fighting to remain smooth. "...to even the playing field. It's hardly fair if I get all the glory..."

He staggered, head lolling, then he shook it. Again, violently. "She-cats love the scars," he muttered. His head was spinning. Shock, or poison?

The snake was coming back. Inch by smooth-scaled inch, tongue flickering, tasting the air. Otterbite hissed at it, favoring his throbbing paw and cursing his bad luck.

ORIOLEFLIGHT

WARRIOR OF GORGECLAN

The morning was eerily quiet considering the battle they were preparing for. She had been among the first to volunteer her claws to dealing with the snakes in the gorge, but traveled closer to the back of the patrol. It didn’t take them long to happen upon snakes, and several were dispatched quickly. Nearby, one of her Clanmates staggered on three legs, and Orioleflight leapt into action. The snake that had bitten Otterbite was preparing for another attack. Ears pinned back, the orange and black she-cat hissed and lashed out with a black-tipped paw. Her paw made quick contact with the snake’s head, in turn bouncing the snake’s head against the ground. The move disoriented the snake long enough to stop its potential strike and gave Orioleflight the extra seconds needed to move in with her teeth and grasp it around the neck. A sharp bite and the creature was dead.

Tossing the snake out of the way, Orioleflight moved to Otterbite’s side, offering her shoulder to him in support. "Hey, are you okay? Are you able to keep fighting?" Worry filled her amber eyes as she silently cursed that no one had thought until now that it might’ve been a good idea to have a medicine cat on standby here in the gorge, rather than all the way back at camp. She just had to hope that there wouldn’t be any casualties and that no one would get bitten by a venomous snake.

FAWNSPRING

WARRIOR OF GORGECLAN

Fawnspring rolls a

11

Fawnspring tried to stay close to the pretty bengal apprentice, Wrenpaw, but when her Clanmates began to attack the snakes, proximity became a hard thing to control. She had always been incredibly light on her paws, and her first instinct to spring away proved correct, Fawnspring narrowly avoiding getting nipped at by the slender, whip-like snake that charged her. Don't overthink this. Get out of your head, Fawnspring, or you're going to be in trouble!

That was always her biggest problem. Overthinking everything. Trying to focus on too much at once. But there was a scent here, underneath the chaos, that grounded her. Thornheart was right beside her, as always; though she briefly worried that his larger body would make him an easier target to hit, Fawnspring's heart surged with faith in him. Any snake that tried to bite her dearest friend was going to end up with a mouthful of fur - or her claws in its neck.

Do snakes have necks? Oh StarClan what if they were just one long neck--

Orioleflight's worried meowing drew her back to reality, and Fawnspring quickly dispatched a smaller snake that was trying to escape the throng of cats. "Are you alright, Otterbite?" She added her voice to the conversation, watching with wide round eyes as she tried to stay aware of her surroundings and Clanmates both.

Thornheart

Warrior OF GORGECLAN

Character name rolls a

Amber eyes kept an eye on most of the patrol members, his large form a little like his namesake in the behind of an operation such as this. Grace and tact were not exactly his forte, but his enthusiasm was certainly there. That, and like the Dark Forest he was going to let Fawnspring have all the fun without him. Instinctively glancing toward the light of his life, he managed to catch her thwart the escape plan of the sentient sticks they were all currently hunting. Grinning proudly, he couldn't help but think to himself. That's my girl.

Of  course, not every endeavor was successful. Concerned voices quipped up here and there as some of the slithery demons managed to out maneuver other Clanmates. Large paws shifted as he peered over Otterbite and Wrenpaw. Wrepaw hade come close to being bitten, but Birchfrost's quick thinking had prevented that. Otterbite on the other paw... Perhaps Snakebite was a better name. Keeping the thought to himself, he returned his attention to Fawnspring as she fussed over the Clanmates in question, bless her caring heart.

It was here that he noticed the coiled living tree branch looking rather ready to strike nearby. Without much of a thought, he shot forward. Too large to properly navigate pouncing on and killing the snake before it struck, Thornheart did was he considered to be the next best thing: put himself between the snake and Fawnspring.

Flinching as he expected the bite of fangs in his skin, he blinked rather confused when it never came. Instead, the strange legless beast was... Well, stuck. Wriggling rather confused with its fangs caught in Thornheart's thick fur, the large tabby couldn't quite reach it where it remained snagged near his shoulder. "Not quite what I expected ta happen, ain't gonna lie ta ya." He commented with something like a laugh.

WHITESTAR

Whitestar rolls a

18

He had tried to remain optimistic through the night about how the patrol would fare against the snakes. Though, the biggest concern he had was the chance of any snakes they encountered being venomous. He cared deeply for all of his clanmates, and they had already lost a clanmate to a snake’s venom. The last thing that he wanted was to lose anyone while on this patrol.

As one big team, the lot of them were doing really good. Wrenpaw had a little bit of a mixup, but Birchspots was quick to help her recover. Cloudtail and Cinderstream were doing well. Though…he paused, turning his head quickly to see Otterbite get bitten. Anxiety shot through his chest, and he went to run forward, but others reached the tom quicker than he could. Both Orioleflight and Fawnspring jumped into action, disposing of two snakes and then going to their companion’s aid.

“Are you oka-” He paused, watching as Thornheart jumped between Fawnspring and a hidden snake. He didn’t really see Thornheart move, though. Until he turned to face the rest of the party, laughing? Visible confusion washed over Whitestar’s face, his mouth slightly agape. “Not..what…you….” He shook his head quickly, dismissing the confusion and rushing forward, snapping his jaws around the snake’s body, since its head was lost within Thorn’s fur. He gave a quick snap of his head, flinging the snake to the side against the gorge wall. A smidge of confusion found his face again. The snake wasn’t even…?

Nevermind! He rushed forward and quickly bit down on the stunned snake’s neck, killing it quickly. He turned back to Thornheart, a tiny bit of that initial confusion coming back. “Are you…okay?”

WARRIOR OF GORGECLAN

Cinderstream rolls a

Cinderstream takes a moment to look over her companions and make sure no one was seriously injured. Otterbite and Thornheart had both been bitten by the snakes they went against. Thornheart was very clearly unaffected since the snake hanging from his shoulder barely disturbed him as Whitestar disposed of it. Otterbite, however, didn't look so hot. "You guys alright?" She called, trying to keep a wary eye on the gorge walls as the group recovered.

That was when she could hear it, the loud hiss of a nearby snake. But where? Yellow-green eyes scanned the area around her companions, hoping that a snake hadn't slipped into the group unnoticed. They really didn't need another bite wound this early into the hunt. But she didn't make out the scaled body of any snakes amongst the throng of cats. She lightly growls in frustration starting to scan the gorge walls. Snakes could be hiding in any of the crevices in the wall without the cats knowing so she had to be careful. She slowly inches alongside the wall, listening intently to the sound of the hissing. As the sound grew closer and closer, she realized that the sound was not on ground level. The hissing was coming from above her! The she-cat's head whips upwards to eye the wall above her. There on a ledge not even a fox-length above her head was a snake inching it's way closer to the cats.

The she-cat doesn't hesitate, leaping onto the wall and slowly scaling up it. Being a former Treeclan cat, she was trained well on how to climb the trunks of trees. But in this case, using her claws to grab onto the wall did not come in handy at all. Her claws raking on rock to the point it hurt and felt as though the wall might pull her claws off of her entirely. She sheaths her claws and instead uses whatever little outcrops she could to reach the ledge, climbing up over the edge to meet the snake on it's level. With a loud snarl, the she-cat bounds at the snake. The snake curls up and tries to strike as she comes within reach. She pushes her body against the gorge wall, narrowly avoiding the snake's fangs. Just as the snake pulls back it's head, she lashes out herself. She throws an unsheathed paw at the snake's head, making it recoil from her strike. Then she jumps on it, grabbing it's neck the first moment she could. One less threat.

Wrenpaw continues to dodge each of her snake's attacks as Birchfrost comes running to help her. The snake at her paws very clearly angry at her to the point it never once noticed the tom behind it. Birchfrost makes quick work of the distracted serpent, practically squishing it under his paw. He then turns to her and comments on how the snake never even left a scratch on her. She grins from ear to ear. "I did play a good distraction didn't I?" She says happily, glad to have seemingly impressed him with her quick foot work.

The bengal she-cat then turns to see all of their companions fighting their own scaled critter. Everyone was doing surprisingly well except for Otterbite and Thornheart who were both bitten by their opponents. While concern for her clanmates crossed her mind, she also knew that they had to stay on their toes. These creatures were far from slow with their movements and at any moment one could shoot from the cracks in the gorge without warning. Her eyes dart around the companions at the walls and areas around them, wanting to make sure that no snakes had slipped past her companions attention. That's when she spotted one just as it slithers behind a small, elongated rock near the party.

The she-cat takes off running towards the rock, ready to get this slithering enemy before it could come around the rock face where her companions sat. As she rushes past Otterbite and Orioleflight, she bounds right up the side of the rock and over the top of it. She immediately spots the sneaky snake as it starts to come back around the other side. She launches herself at the snake, using the aerial advantage to stomp down on it's body. The snake doesn't expect the attack, being stunned by the blunt force of the she-cat landing on it. She takes this moment to grab the stunned critter by it's neck, dispatching it with a crunch of her jaws.

With her trophy still in her mouth, Wrenpaw comes back around the rock. She throws down the snake with another proud grin. "This one was trying to sneak up on you guys."

Birchfrost chuckled in agreement with Wrenpaw's words, enjoying the brief moment of camaraderie amid the frenzy. Then they both sprang back into battle. He was feeling a bit inspired by Wrenpaw's fancy footwork, and kept lighter on his paws than usual to dodge the various limp snake carcasses his Clanmates had tossed to the ground. It was impossible to tell if they were dead or alive, so he thought it better to carefully hop around them all rather than take his chances.

A flash of movement from one of the supposedly lifeless bodies caused the white warrior to jump, almost colliding with Lynxfang who was fighting near him, and watched in amazement as a snake - who had either been sneakily playing dead or just so happened to make it this far into the throng of cats - rose, coiled, before him and lashed out with its sharp fangs. Birchfrost sprang to the side and hooked his claws into its tail, whipping it harshly against the ground and stunning it. He darted forward to give it the finishing blow, fixing his teeth into its neck before tossing it toward the scattered bodies of its fellows.

The gorge was a flurry of cats and snakes. A pile of the long, scaly creatures was quickly growing and it would seem as though Gorgeclan was going to have to get used to the taste of snake flesh for a while. Perhaps they could bring some to the other clans just to prove how well-off Gorgeclan was. That would certainly send a message.

Cloudtail dumped his catch and scanned the gorge for another victim to add to his collection. So far he had one snake kill on his record, but he wasn't going to stop until the snakes were nothing but a memory. He saw one of the reptilian pests frantically slithering towards one of the little crannies between two rocks. Cloudtail hared after it and lashed out with one paw, hooking onto its side with a claw. The snake swung around as if to bite him but Cloudtail jumped back just in time, flicking the snake into the rockface as he dodged. The snake bounced down to the rocks below and the white warrior pounced on it, gleefully snuffing its life out with a well-aimed bite to the skull.

"Two!"

He tossed the snake into the pile and scanned the gorge for his third prize.

Orioleflight's sharp claws swiftly dispatched the threat, and Otterbite let out a shaky mrrrow of relief. The bluepoint only had to wrestle with his pride for a moment before the chance to press up against a pretty she-cat won out.

"My hero," he panted, trying to make it flirty but sounding genuinely relieved as well. He found his balance again, using the offered shoulder for support, and tested his wounded forepaw gingerly against the ground. The snakebite itself throbbed something awful, but it didn't seem to be spreading up his foreleg. Guess I got lucky after all...

As Fawnspring and Cinderstream called out to him as well, Otterbite found himself in the (pleasant?) spotlight of female attention. Trying to turn this (potentially embarrassing) sequence of events in his favor, Otterbite lifted his tail high.

"I'll fight on three legs if I have to," he declared smoothly, then flexed his hurt paw. The pain made him flinch and he hopped backwards, straight into the coils of another adder that had slithered up on him from behind. "Another one!" He let his misstep turn to an advantage as he fell on top of the snake, battering at its thrashing body with his back claws. The head, he thought, realizing he had no idea what other vital organs this thing had. Where's the head...?

Robinflight was never one to be particularly grouchy, but she found herself uncharacteristically rolling her eyes as Otterbite somehow managed to find the time to puff himself up and preen for the she-cats after having been bitten by a snake. While they were still mid-fight, mind you. She darted over to him, and with a deft flash of her fangs sunk her teeth into the writhing reptile. With a burst of blood, it struggled for a moment before dropping dead from her jaws. "At least try not to get bitten again." She told him crossly, swiping the dead snake away from her.

Keeping her awareness on her surroundings to ensure that there were no other cats that needed help or other approaching snakes, Robinflight turned to Orioleflight, green eyes concerned. "Does he need Ebonyheart?" She had entirely no experience with snake bites, and though Otterbite seemed to be his usual lascivious self, she wasn't sure if he would drop dead at any moment or not. And though he was a silly oaf, he was still her clanmate and she was genuinely troubled at the thought of him being harmed. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted another squirming serpent easing out from the rocks.

The mottled warrior shifted slightly to accept Otterbite's weight, allowing him the time he needed to steady himself. To her credit, she didn't roll her eyes at his half-flirting, half-relieved praise, instead maintaining a small smile. Fawnspring and Cinderstream called out to check on them, but Orioleflight stayed silent and let Otterbite respond, since he was the one of actual concern. However, shortly afterward, the tom in question flinched backward and found himself at the mercy of yet another snake. Before she could react and save him again, Robinflight darted forward to dispatch it.

"Does he need Ebonyheart?"

Orioleflight's eyes flicked from Otterbite to Robinflight. "I'm not certain. He hasn't dropped dead yet, but unfortunately that doesn't always mean much. As long as it wasn't venomous, he should be fine." Snakes had always been a possible threat in StoneClan's former territory, but Orioleflight herself didn't have much experience in the matter. She did remember a few stories from her youth, though. "Otterbite, if the pain starts spreading, or your leg starts burning, grab someone and get back to camp immediately!" A bit quieter, to Robinflight, she voiced the realization she had a minute ago, "We should've thought to have one of them on standby."

Taking a second to survey their patrol, mostly checking to see if anyone else needed help, her amber eyes caught on a particular tom before she forced herself to continue scanning. A sharp hiss caught her attention and she quickly whipped around, eyes raking over the rocky wall behind her. A few tail-lengths above, a rather large snake had appeared, looking to make its move on the cats below. As she tightened the muscles in her hindlegs, her eyes swiftly swept down the cliffside, picking out rebound points. She leapt, paws landing on a short ledge for just a moment before kicking off in the opposite direction, bringing her closer to the snake. With an outstretched forepaw, her claws hooked into the body of the snake. Her own body twisted and she brought her leg down, flinging the snake onto the rocky floor below. A moment later, she landed beside it, moving to deliver a killing bite just in case the impact didn't do the job.
