Sagefeather was particularly good at feeling out emotions, including ones that others tried to hide. Silverhawk was upset. Nettlepaw was upset too, but at least the apprentice wasn't trying to hide it. Nettlepaw mentioned the rabbit being worn out, and it didn't bother Sagefeather a bit to nod in agreement. "Oh, probably. I would be if I had to run away from two cats." Sagefeather didn't have an ego, not really. He thought the idea of it was silly. Everyone got lucky sometimes and everyone had bad luck sometimes too. Why in the world would anyone pretend that this wasn't true and set themselves up to look like fools?

At Nettlepaw's questioning, Sagefeather shrugged. That was something he needed to talk to Leopardstar about, because Sagefeather had no clue. Despite all of the resentment toward him, the red tom wasn't about to bad mouth anyone. They had their pride hurt, and such wounds were internal.... and more importantly they were self-inflicted. The lashing out both subtle and not, had nothing to do with Sagefeather himself, so he wasn't going to take offense.

A porcupine appeared and Sagefeather's fur bristled as Nettlepaw charged it. He tensed, hoping to Starclan he'd make a good move. Luckily he did. "Nice Nettlepaw! I'll put in a good word to Leopardstar for sure!" He was eager to compliment the apprentice, eager to make the tom feel better. Larkshine attacked next and Sagefeather moved in, nervous, but willing to assist in whatever way that he could.

The porcupine's quills drew blood on the new warrior, but Sagefeather was determined to keep his clanmates as safe as he could.

Sagefeather used Front Paw Strike and Desperate Blows, dealing 11 damage and - 14SP

Porcupine's Quill Armor does 6 damage (3 + 3 per attack)

Sagefeather
24HP / 66SP (-14SP) (-6HP)

Porcupine
23HP / 165SP (-11HP) (I included the damage from Larkshine's successful belly rake)

Nettlepaw grimaced as Sagefeather and Silverhawk both ended up with quills between their paw pads. He did not one to have to pull any quills out of his fur. No way. "You need to..." he panted "Get underneath... Like this!" As the porcupine took another lumbering step towards his patrol mates, turning away from the apprentice, he saw his chance and took it. Like before he took a running start and then fell onto his back, letting his speed carry him clear of the beast and its armour. White paws became stained with blood and mud, but Nettlepaw once again made it look easy. Until he felt himself sway slightly, he stumbled but found his footing. The porcupine let out a bellow of rage, ready to take him out, but as it spun to face him, its eyes landed on the warriors that surrounded it. It could either enjoy tearing the flea of a cat apart or live... It preferred the second option. With a grumble the badly beaten porcupine shuffled into the undergrowth.

Despite his condition, Nettlepaw was very pleased with himself. "Yeah! Don't mess with the belly rake master porcu-butt!" he chirped, poking his tongue out. He stifled a yawn, overcome with tiredness from the adrenaline that had kept him going. "Thanks for helping! But I'm going to sit out of the rest of the hunt... " he swayed again "Should have used my energy better..." he giggled, blinking slowly. He needed to sit down for a bit. "I'll guard whatever prey you catch..."

rolling for bellyrake... Success!
