FAWNSPRING

WARRIOR OF GORGECLAN

Fawnspring rolls a

6

This was starting to turn into a bad dream. While it was clear that the GorgeClan cats were killing nearly every snake that poured from between the rocks, Fawnspring could have sworn they weren't making as big a difference as they'd hoped. Her heart was still trying to calm down from Thornheart's silly mishap with the snake, and Otterbite's pride-fueled blunder that Orioleflight, fortunately, took care of. There was so much happening that she failed to time her next strike properly, her claws merely glancing off the sleek, wriggling body of the snake closest to her. Fawnspring tried to feint out of the way as it countered, just barely dodging back in time.

This is what you get for overthinking! Fawnspring backed up until her tail brushed against thick tabby fur, her body hitting the wall that was Thornheart. StarClan, it felt like being an apprentice again, and not in a fun, nostalgic way. In a you've forgotten how to be a warrior kind of way. Embarrassment pinned her ears back, her muzzle scrunched in an uncharacteristic snarl as she tried to remain fierce in the face of her own doubts.

THE FINAL BOSS HAS APPEARED!

Momma Snake has joined the battle!

Finally, as the patrol moves forward, they find that they no longer see or hear any snakes. As they round a large stone, they spot what was rumored across the way: a large crack in the wall, easily large enough to fit at least 1 cat, and it is very dark inside even from a distance. The patrol gets closer, hoping that they would finally bring this whole infestation to an end.

But, as they get closer, they see movement. Almost on cue, a giant scale-covered head pokes out from the opening and turns slowly to peer at them. Seeing the gathered group of cats, the large snake slithers out from the opening, practically two to three times larger than any of the snakes the patrol has faced thus far. The mother snake lifts her head to face the cats and opens her mouth, letting out a loud hiss.

The battle has begun!

NOTES

We have reached the final battle of the event! This big ol lady is standing between the patrol and the nest, and they need to defeat her to get to it. This battle will work much like the rest of the thread has: Momma Snake has her own amount of HP, and each successful hit against her will lower that HP. Hits are still determined by dice rolls and the number you roll must still be placed at the top of your post.

Momma Snake has 15 HP total.
In this battle the dice rolls will be slightly different.

1-3: Bitten. (Momma Snake is not venomous, but she packs quite a punch.)
5-8: Can't get a solid hit against her, smacked by her tail.
9-12: Can't get a solid hit against her, but uninjured.
13-19: Successful hit! You deal 1 HP of damage.
20: Critical hit! You deal 3 HP of damage.

Momma Snake does not have a specific species or breed. She is not a constrictor, so if someone is bitten, she does not hold on and wrap around them. She bites, holds on for a couple seconds, and then lets go. She is not massive, or anything, I wouldn't hurl a gigantic boa at a group of cats xD. But she is still big and thick, and packs quite a punch.

- For the sake of keeping track, I ask that everybody put what the current HP with your post is at the bottom of your post. -

WHITESTAR

LEADER OF GORGECLAN

Whitestar rolls a

Whitestar had paused, looking around him to check on his clanmates. There had been a few mishaps, but everyone was doing well, and we was proud. Well...well for the most part. Otterbite was...well, his state was questionable. The one-eyed white tom had gone to ensure that the other was alright, knowing that either Sageheart or Ebonyheart would be soon to check him over. He hated to think that anything that may happen was just being delayed, but he couldn't help but just hope that Otter's still-present sense of humor meant that he would be okay.

He looked around him, making sure that everyone else was alright, but he noticed something. There was no hissing. He didn't see any movement other than themselves. They had already left a trail of dead snakes in their wake, but suddenly it seemed as though there were no more. That seemed impossible. Yes they had gotten rid of quite a few already, but there had to be more, right?

He began padding forward slowly scanning the gorge as he did. He couldn't see any other snakes, but what he did see was something else. "Everyone, ahead."

Straight ahead of them in the distance he could see a dark shape, a crack in the gorge wall that even a large cat like himself could fit in. This was around the right area, too. Maybe they had found it. Maybe there were more snakes inside; that could be a possible explanation as to why they hadn't seen any more. But as they grew closer, he did spot movement. He stopped, watching as a snake head peered out of the large crack. But this was not multiple snakes, nor was it small. No, this snake was larger than the rest. When it spotted them, it slithered right out into the open and faced the patrol directly, though it did not charge.

"We have to be careful...this isn't just one little snake anymore..."

Whitestar slowly began to pad forward further, glancing to the side to ensure that he had at least a few of the others by his side. They would have to be careful against this one, as he was sure that this snake would hit quite harder than any of those tiny ones. His paws were as careful as they could be as his stride slowly shifted to the side. It was one snake. It couldn't watch all of them at once.

He leaped, but the snake lashed back, striking out at him. He missed, but so did the snake. At first, anyway. He leaned passed the snapping of sharp fangs, but just as he turned he watched a large tail fly towards him, knocking him across the face. He hissed, jumping backwards away from the snake.

Cinderstream rolls a

6

Cinderstream watches the rest of the patrol from her perch on the wall of the gorge. Everyone seems to fair very well against their snakes aside from Otterbite again. She shakes her head. The tom just couldn't catch a break with these creatures. She only hoped that these bite wounds on some of her companions were not severe. She really didn't want to see anyone lost to these scaled invaders.

A short while after recovering, the group notices the unnerving silence in the gorge. The hissing and signs of snakes had just stopped. Like they had disappeared entirely. Cinderstream didn't feel good about this. Something was definitely up because that could not have been all of them. The grey tabby slowly inches along the gorge wall, following the patrol from above. She wanted an aerial advantage for the moment, the bad feeling in her gut making her extra cautious with her steps.

Just ahead of them the she-cat can make out a decent sized crack in the rock wall. That's when the thing giving her a bad feeling revealed itself. A large scaled head emerging to look at the patrol from the crack in the wall. Cinderstream growls lowly, looking for a way to attack the snake from above as it lands a strike against Whitestar. She can make out a ledge just wide enough to maneuver closer to the large snake, making quick footwork to get over there. Just as she comes right above the crack where the snake emerged, she leaps down with claws unsheathed. The snake somehow anticipates her leap, smacking her with her scaled tail. The force enough to send Cinderstream skidding sideways across the ground. The she-cat hisses, the landing making her shoulder ache. She slowly gets back to her feet and takes on a defensive stance, watching her comrades take their shots at the thing.

WRENPAW

APPRENTICE OF GORGECLAN

Wrenpaw rolls a

19

Wrenpaw proudly throws her latest catch onto the pile of snakes that had already been tossed together. She then makes her way over to join Whitestar, looking around intently for any other slithering menaces. The patrol had gathered a rather extensive pile of bodies up until now. Now things just seemed quiet. Way too quiet. The she-cat glances with confusion at the rest of the patrol. "Am I the only one concerned about how quiet it is?

After she questions it, Whitestar pushes forward hoping to find more. Surely another would have leaped out at them at this point so what in the world was going on? The she-cat cautiously padded beside her leader, eyeing the walls for signs of anything. That's when Whitestar signaled to the patrol to look ahead. Wrenpaw turns her attention to a large crack ahead of them in the cavern wall. It was wide enough that at least a singular cat could squeeze into it, making it an even better place for other critters to call home. Could this be the nest?

Before she could offer to investigate, a large head suddenly appears from the dark crevice. A snake much larger than the others emerges from the confines of the crack, facing the patrol and letting out a threatening hiss. Whitestar rushes the snake, as does Cinderstream but both of them end up knocked back by the creature. Wrenpaw rushes towards the snake, trying to distract it from her clanmates. "Over here!" The snake then turned to eye her, trying to stand itself tall to intimidate her. The snake then lunges at her with fangs bared. Wrenpaw makes use of her quick footwork again, narrowly avoiding the bite and taking the opportunity to slash at the snake with an unsheathed paw. The snake let out a loud hiss at the attack, giving Wrenpaw the opportunity to get out of the way for others of the patrol that had charged in.

"Great StarClan - that thing is huge!" Birchfrost exclaimed, eyes widening as he watched both Whitestar and Cinderstream attempt to attack the enormous snake that had emerged from the crack in the stone only to get whipped back with a speedy flash of its tail. It moved fast! How was it fair that it was so big and fast at the same time?

Hope fluttered in his chest then as Wrenpaw pounced forward to attack the snake, her paws light and quick just like they'd been before. She managed to get in a good slash at the massive snake before darting away just as quickly. Feeling emboldened by Wrenpaw's success, he dove forward himself, leaping from one spot to another as he avoided the snake's fangs and threatening hisses. His quick movements seemed to frustrate it even though he hadn't yet found a chance to attack - he just barely dodged its heavy tail whipping across the ground in an attempt to trip him. As he landed, he managed to rake his claws across its scaly tail as it passed. He darted backward, shuffling his paws quickly but feeling panic rising as the snake advanced toward him, clearly interested in taking revenge. His eyes flashed toward the rest of the patrol. With any luck, someone could easily strike at the snake while it was distracted by him.

CLOUDTAIL

DEPUTY OF GORGECLAN

Cloudtail rolls a

20

For a brief moment it seemed as though they had won. There was a pile of snake bodies in front of them, all was quiet and still. Not a hiss to be heard. The white warrior took this moment of respite to catch his breath and shake out some of the tension in his pelt. 

But something seemed off. He followed Whitestar's gaze to the crack in the gorge where a sliver of movement could be seen. He narrowed his eyes--what is that? He wondered. As if answering his question, a snake head popped out of a crack in the gorge. 
It was huge. 

Cloudtail was not scared of much, but this snake? This snake was terrifying. Not only was it an absolute unit of a reptile but he watched in dismay as it used its tail to hit his clan leader and fellow warriors. But they had an advantage: numbers. The snake was big but they were many and Warriors came into their own when fighting as a team. 


Whitestar, Cinderstream, Wrenpaw and Birchfrost were closer. Whitestar and Cinderstream got slapped with the snake's tail. Wrenpaw and Birchfrost managed to get a couple of hits in while the snake was preoccupied. Cloudtail pelted towards the snake and jumped on its back, sinking his teeth into the snake's back. It wasn't a killing blow, but he took a sizeable nibble out of its skin before the reptile managed to shake him off. Cloudtail spat the scales out, taunting the snake. "Come on, don't you want a bite? Bet you've never tasted cat before you daft little rat's tail!"

OTTERBITE

WARRIOR OF GORGECLAN

Otterbite rolls a

19

Otterbite went limp beneath the snake as Robinflight tossed the dead reptile away. Its flat, diamond-patterned body flew like a flag of surrender as Otterbite rolled back to his paws, bits of twig and dust now clinging to his creamy coat.

"Robinflight! I knew you'd come through for me," he purred warmly. He widened his eyes at her comment. "I can assure you, the next snake I'll kill in your name!"

Little did he know the next snake Whitestar would lead them to was a behemoth, its wedge-shaped head nearly the size of his own.

Otterbite stood dumbly, still holding his paw gingerly above the ground. The shock of seeing the giant serpent made him nearly forget about his bite, any potential symptoms of burning or spreading pain utterly forgotten in the face of a new threat.

It occurred to Otterbite he could take this opportunity to flee, to retreat back to Ebonyheart while he still could. He had valid reasons for concern. He was fighting on three legs, after all, and if the bite had been venomous he'd be risking his life to stand his ground now. His Clanmates would understand.

But that wasn't what a true warrior did, was it?

"I'll keep it busy!" he hissed after a moment of hesitation, darting in behind Cloudtail in a stream of lithe muscle and well-groomed fur. His gray tail whipped a stone-colored arc behind him as both paws lashed out to box the denmother, delivering heavy impacts on either side of her head.

Whap! He felt the ripple travel all the way through that giant, scaly body. Eyes narrowed, he struck again. Whap! He didn't need claws to rattle this creature's brains.

"Now! While it's stunned!" Otterbite yowled to his fellow warriors, crouched and tail lashing as the scaly pillar rose up before him. He flattened his ears to his head, bracing for the inevitable impact.

ORIOLEFLIGHT

WARRIOR OF GORGECLAN

Orioleflight rolls a

7

The silence in the gorge registered slowly. Orioleflight’s first indication was the hairs on the back of her neck slowly lifting. Her ears flicked around, followed by her eyes narrowing and scanning the area around them. It was then that she realized how eerily quiet everything had become. Her senses kicked into overdrive, now on high alert. As Whitestar began to move away, her dainty paws were quick to carry her to his side. She allowed herself a brief moment of contact, a barely-there brush of fur, to give herself a small boost of courage knowing they were in this together.

The crack in the rock ahead seemed to be the perfect nesting ground for the snakes, a theory that was proven correct moments later as a large serpent emerged. Every muscle in her body tensed as her ears flattened and hackles raised. “We have to be careful...this isn’t just one little snake anymore...” Orioleflight didn’t dare take her eyes off the snake, but gave a small nod of acknowledgement of Whitestar’s words. She felt him move away to attempt to flank the snake, so she stepped in the opposite direction. Whitestar launched the first attack, and the mottled warrior froze for a moment as she watched the snake lunging for him. Thankfully, he managed to dodge the fangs, and she breathed a small sigh of relief and was able to move again when he only appeared momentarily dazed by the smack in the face from its tail. Cinderstream leapt from above in what looked like a promising attack, but ended up getting knocked away as well. Wrenpaw and Birchfrost managed to get hits in, then Cloudtail rushed in with confident banter and an attack to match.

Most surprisingly, Otterbite managed to rush in and give the snake a couple hits about the face. As the snake lifted, trying to shake off the attacks, Orioleflight leapt forward, claws outstretched and a growl in her throat. Her timing was off, though, and the snake dropped back down before she could reach it. She landed hard, and before she could recover, the snake whipped around, broadsiding Orioleflight’s flank with its thick tail. The impact knocked her off balance and she stumbled, trying to both regain her footing and get out of range, all at the same time.

Fawnspring had stood, frozen in terror, as her fearless apprentice acted even braver than Fawnspring could ever imagine. Even Otterbite, on three good legs, had done his part against this hideously large snake. C'mon, move, Fawnspring! Why can't I move? And then she felt Orioleflight's distinct, mottled body get knocked aside by the snake, right into Fawnspring. It was a jarring way to interrupt her paralysis, but in the back of her mind she felt a flash of wordless gratitude. The other she-cat moved away before Fawnspring's trembling could be truly noticeable.

This was the kind of snake that could swallow a kit whole. How could they hope to kill something like this? Her large round eyes roved across the gathered cats, looking for an opening, bile rising, stinging in the back of her throat as a direct response to the shame growing in her belly. I can't let them all down. On nerveless paws, Fawnspring lunged forward, trying to land a strike anywhere on this creature, but she dealt only a glancing blow - nothing substantial - and was rewarded with a wide, whipping tail that hit her body like a tree branch bending back to proper form.

Fawnspring gasped, winded, aware of her paws leaving the ground as she was flung fully off of them, tumbling in a whirl of dust against the rocky bottom of the gorge. O-Ow...

Thornheart rolls a

13

When the serpentine matriarch finally showed herself, materializing from the darkness of the crevice to peer upon the ravaged battlefield of what he could only assume were her descendants' corpses, the tabby warrior felt his breath catch. He was a big cat, there was no denying that. But such was not necessarily the same for every feline in attendance. If the previous battle against the throng of smaller snakes had been but a warmup, well... This limbless demon posed a real threat to the patrol. 

Keeping his amber gaze trained on the serpent to ensure she didn't get to land a sneak attack, the usually reckless tom held back and waited for Whitestar's orders. And then everything passed by in a blur.

Leaping forth when he found an opening, the big tom snapped his jaws down ont he scaled hide of the snake. Her scales provided some resistance, but could do little to full fend off his fangs. Whether she hissed because of him or one of the other countless blows that landed, he had no idea, but he held on a moment while he found some form of footing. 

His large paws sought to pin portions of the snake's body to the ground, providing what he would hope to be an opening for someone else to land a more direct blow. It was here, from the corner of his eye, that he saw Fawnspring's figure tossed aside by a rather distinct thud of the snake's tail. Immediately releasing his bite, he nearly ran to her immediately. Foxdung! He hissed to himself, recognizing that if he gave up his grip on the snake, he might put someone else in danger.

"Fawnspring!" He bellowed, sure to be heard among the cacophony of snarls and hissed beneath him. "Ya alright?" He asked, his voice tight. Ma, Pa. If yer up there, make sure she's alright. I ain't ready to let go 'a her.

WHITESTAR

LEADER OF GORGECLAN

Whitestar rolls a

20

After his own failure to land a proper blow, Whitestar had taken a moment, surveying the scene as the rest of his patrol followed in his steps. Both himself and Cinderstream had met the same hard-hit fate, but pride swelled in his chest as Wrenpaw, the only Apprentice of the patrol, managed to get the very first proper hit in against the snake. He wanted to give praise, but now was not the time. Following in Wrenpaw's example, Birchfrost had leapt in and sent his claws down the beast's tail, something he can guarantee had made the snake even more angry. But, as if that wasn't enough, a flash of white out of the corner of his eye and Whitestar watched Cloudtail go flying, not from being hit, but from a large leap that got him onto the snake's back. A triumphant grin crossed his face, knowing that Cloud's bite definitely did some damage, though the snake was not done yet. But neither were they. Almost a surprise, Otterbite was the next to rush forward, and though from his angle it didn't look like Otter had done any damage, he could see the recoil from the tom's slaps in the snake's face.

He could tell that the snake was not happy. Cats on its back, scratches down its tail, getting smacked in the face. Today was not this snake's day, and she was not having any of it. He watched the large reptile lift and shake its body, tossing Cloudtail off its back and reeling from Otter's smacks. But in the middle of her shaking, he watched as both Orioleflight and Fawnspring leaped forward, both being knocked aside by that lashing tail. Thankfully, Oriole had been shoved in his direction, his body leaping forward to catch and offer a balancing shoulder. "Are you okay?" His voice came quickly, and though he wanted to take more time to check, his head lifted and his eye locked on to the snake. He realized very quickly that this was the time; he could see Thornheart on the other side of the snake, clung to the side of her body and holding her attention, for that moment at least.

His body tensing against Oriole's for a moment, Whitestar released a loud hiss and he charged forward, back legs shoving hard against the ground and throwing himself forward, claws outstretched. His large body practically bowled the snake over, his fangs dug into a portion of her neck and one of his paws slicing lines into her face. The snake let out an enraged hiss, violently shaking itself against the forces of multiple cats.

Worried that his collision with the snake could have fell back against Thornheart, and not wanting to get crushed in the middle of her thrashing, Whitestar shoved away from her, jumping backwards and out of the way.

"She is weak! We've got this!"

Cinderstream allowed her aching shoulder a moment to recover as she watched the patrol lunge at the snake. Many of her comrades landed hefty blows on the snake, while others were also nailed by that tail of hers. This snake was proving to be a very tough foe for the cats, using that darn tail of hers like a weapon in itself. The other snakes had fallen so easily to their advances but not this one.

That's when there was suddenly a loud hiss and a blur of white ran passed her at the snake. Whitestar was going in again landing a strong attack on the snake with both his teeth and his claws. The snake very clearly becoming weakened from the relentless attacks of each of the cats. Her movements beginning to really slow down as Whitestar pushes off of her. They were making progress on the momma, even if it didn't appear that way.

Cinderstream takes this opportunity to run in herself, trying to distract the snake enough for her clanmates to get a safe distance from her strikes. "This way nasty!" She yells running across in front of her, trying to land a scratch on her body as she ran. While her attack most definitely didn't connect the way she wanted, she definitely had the snake's attention. Her slitted eyes following the tabby cat as she ran in a different direction from others in the patrol. The snake lifts it's body, trying to make itself look bigger as it begins to follow Cinderstream.

Wrenpaw grins as she watches her fellow patrol members rush in at the snake. Many manage to land a blow on the scaled critter while two more were met with that wicked tail of hers. For a bigger snake, she was definitely much quicker than they anticipated. But she was confident they could take this hulk of a snake out with everyone working together. They were Gorgeclan and this snake was going to learn this the hard way just like her little friends before her.

A loud hiss catches Wrenpaw's attention as she watches her leader rush in. Whitestar manages to make some significant damage with multiple attacks to the snake's body. He then uses her body to propel himself off of her and out of reach again. Wrenpaw grins and turns on the snake, fully prepared to try and land her own devastating blow.

"This way nasty!"

Wrenpaw turns her head in time to see Cinderstream go running in front of the snake and in another direction away from the patrol. That's when a lightbulb went off in the she-cat's head. Cinder was trying to confuse it and distract it by going a totally different direction! The younger she-cat runs up behind the snake. "No! Over here!" She cries out to the giant snake as she taunts it, wiggling her butt at her. The snake whips around, trying to size up Wrenpaw now. The snake totally distracted from the rest of the patrol as it tries to move it's way towards the cocky Wren. Wrenpaw makes an attempt to strike at the snake's tail to really distract her but the snake catches on. She yanks her tail closer to her scaled body, still trying to follow after the young she-cat as she moves further away again.

Birchfrost couldn't be prouder of his Clan as every cat moved with vicious purpose to rally against the giant snake. He couldn't believe how hard Cloudtail had smacked the snake when he'd leaped in after Birchfrost; he'd been somewhat surprised, in fact, that it hadn't gone slithering away after that. But it seemed the creature was overcome with some sort of rage after seeing so many of its kin slaughtered with its enemies fighting over their corpses.

Maybe its rage was making it cleverer though, because after several well-aimed blows by his Clanmates, it was quick to dodge both Cinderstream and the ever light-pawed Wrenpaw. Birchfrost slithered forward, his pawsteps light as feathers as he hopped around to the other side of the snake's body while its attention was fixed on the apprentice. When he pounced forward though, claws unsheathed, the snake somehow found a way out of both his extended claws and Wrenpaw's fangs. It deftly pulled its body out of the way and retaliated quick as a flash and before Birchfrost could even fully process what was happening he was knocked quite breathless and had skidded several rabbit-lengths away from the giant snake. She'd whipped him with his tail just like she'd done to some of the others earlier. Is it getting faster?

He sprang to his paws again, ready to dart in with another blow, but in his recovery he could see his Clanmates had seamlessly moved to take his place.

Cloudtail wasn’t watching.


Maybe the large snake was getting desperate—it was injured, badly, but it certainly wasn’t going to just lay around and let the cats kill it. This snake meant business. But Cloudtail was confident in his abilities. He had dealt several blows to the snake already and was quite proud of himself for it; it would make for an excellent story one day in the elder’s den. Maybe it was his ego that made him careless, or perhaps he was just too concerned with trying to find another perfect window of opportunity to save the day. Whatever the reason, he had become careless. The snake writhed about this way and that way so that it was hard to tell which end was the biting end and which was the slapping end. Cloudtail positioned himself to pounce again on the large snake when the reptilian menace swung it’s large head around. Cloudtail saw a flash of white fangs and the flick of its forked tongue and put on the brakes, but it was too late.



A bolt of hot pain shot through his left hindquarter as the snakes teeth sunk in. Cloudtail yowled in agony and fury, spitting and hissing fiercely, but the snake was undeterred. “Starclan cursed reptile!” he cried, “Let me go!”

Fortunately, it looked like his attempt had been successful at rattling the serpent's brains, stunning it for a moment as Orioleflight and Fawnspring soon after darted in to make their own attacks.

Otterbite turned his head in time to see Fawnspring go rolling in the dust, batted away hard by the snake's tail. A lovely lady cat in danger? Who else but Otterbite to the rescue, he thought, making a lightning-fast connection. Ever the opportunist, he struck a pose and shouted "Fawnspring!"—just as Thornheart did the same thing. Otterbite froze, blue eyes darting between the pair. Ah, the siamese tom thought, flattening his ears. Anyway...

Shaking off the fact that everyone had a mate in this battle except him, he turned his frustration back on the adders' broodmother. His gray tail lashed like a snake itself as he crept forward, placing his paws carefully as if stalking a bird. With all the cats running around, the snake probably wouldn't feel his pawsteps coming until it was too late.

But he wasn't expecting the snake to land her teeth in Cloudtail before he got there— Otterbite felt his blood run cold as he saw the sheer length of those fangs, a pair of giant cat-claws puckering from slippery pink flesh of the serpent's mouth. His own pathetic injury felt like a kit's nibble by comparison.

"Oh sure, it's getting weaker!" he snarled, losing his temper as he flung himself bodily at the reptile. "More like it's getting more dangerous!" He sunk its teeth into the side of her neck, where he could only hope it would be too difficult to bite him. The taste of bitter blood rewarded his effort— but the broodmother still didn't let go of Cloudtail.

ROBINFLIGHT

WARRIOR OF GORGECLAN

Robinflight rolls a

The size of the snake the patrol now faced was beyond anything that Robinflight had expected. The calico warrior's fur bushed up with fright as the serpent coiled towards them, fangs exposed from pinkish flesh. At first, it seemed the snake was not prepared to take on so many assailants at once. Cloudtail and Whitestar sent it reeling with fierce blows from their claws, and even Wrenpaw put up a valiant effort to hold off the massive predator. But the snake quickly seemed to adapt to its newfound foes, more aware of the way they moved and attacked. Robinflight's tail arched above her head as she charged towards the snake, her own teeth bared in a furious hiss. But even as she approached, those unblinking golden eyes fixed on hers, the pupils narrowing into tiny slits as it seemed to anticipate her every move. The large body of the snake coiled and hit her with surprising force. Robinflight was flung backward by the tail, scrabbling to keep her foothold on the rock and not plummet down into the gorge below.

"I'm okay!" She called to any cat who attempted to help her, shaking her fur free of the dust. Snake's blood spattered her face from where she had skidded through the remains of the slain serpents... that she now realised were actually the offspring of this snake. They had a legendary battle ahead of them in order to destroy that nest. If every egg in there had the potential to hatch a snake as huge and menacing as this one, then the survival of GorgeClan itself rested on the destruction of those eggs.
