'Effect Dice' : 6

Heatherpetal purred in satisfaction. Sunpaw was going to grow into a fine hunter one day. However, the more she trained with him on his battle techniques, the sadder she began to feel, being forced to recall back to the Sunningrocks battle and the losses ThunderClan had experienced. She put on a smile as to not worry her apprentice. "We'll have plenty of time left to hone your battle moves. But for now, why don't we grant this poor tree mercy? It's been through quite a lot. I can teach you how to hunt instead."

Sunpaw nodded, looking up at the tree in awe. He could see scratches and bald spots from cats training in generations past, and he felt humbled looking up at the looming tree. He turned to Heatherpetal. "Hunting, huh? I bet I'll be better at that!" He purred.

"Well, in any case you'll be much better than me," Heatherpetal replied. "I've only ever caught two pieces of prey in my entire apprenticeship. Though one of which was an owl. Perhaps if we run into another one you and I can take it down and the Clan can have another feast. They're very tasty!"

(OOC: So, remember where I told you where to find the dice? You use the Hunting Dice to catch prey, and you use this chart here to decide which prey you want to hunt. The dice rolled after you submit your post will tell you if you've successfully caught your targeted prey or not. If you roll a 10, though, you encounter a predator. Since all predators but owls and eagles can take out an apprentice with one attack, we'll fight an owl if we run into a predator, since eagles have higher HP.)

"An owl?" Sunpaw tilted his head, considering the possibility. He then snorted. "Don't know about that! Though-" The brown cat suddenly went quiet, his whiskers twitching and ears swiveling. "There." He whispered, spotting a squirrel. He dropped into his hunting stance and slowly crept forward.


Sunpaw shot forward when the time was right, and the squirrel was practically beneath his paws when it was snatched up into the high branches above. The cat heard a high pitched squealing that was suddenly cut off by a sickening crunch. Sunpaw peered through the branches and saw huge eyes staring down at him. With a screech, an owl shot down from the tree and clawed at his face. Sunpaw narrowly scrambled out of the way in time and launched an attack of his own. He slashed at the attacking owl, aiming for the eyes.

Sunpaw used Front Paw Strike, dealing 6 HP and costing 10 SP

'Hunting Dice' : 10

Heatherpetal huffed her frustration, though it wasn't directed at Sunpaw. Speak of the devil... "Well, at least you'll be able to test your battle skills in an official battle."

(OOC: Since you rolled the 10, you control the owl. You can find its stats and moves on the Hunting System page I just linked you to. :3)

The owl screeched in pain then flew into the air, coming back down with its long talons extended.

Owl used Talon Strike, doing 10 damage and costing 10 SP

Sunpaw hissed in pain, blood welling from the scratch over his eye. The blood dripped down, blinding him in one eye. "A-ah! Heatherpetal!" He cried, darting to her side. He was not being cowardly; if Heatherpetal were hurt, he would fight the owl to his death to protect her. But because she was healthy and more experience than he, Sunpaw knew that he would need her help. The owl swooped after him, deeming him as no threat and going for Heatherpetal instead. Even though his retreat was strategic, Sunpaw still felt a pang of guilt.

Heatherpetal was quick to rear up on her hind paws as the owl dove after her, snarling with protective fury. She would not let another ThunderClan apprentice die! She slashed out her claws at its exposed belly, sending feathers and blood flying.

Heatherpetal used Upright Front Paws, dealing 11 damage and costing 20 stamina.

Using the owl's distraction against it, Sunpaw pushed off the ground with his powerful hind legs and grabbed the owl as it tried to rise back into the air, tearing it back down to the ground.

'Effect Dice' : 6

The owl writhed on the ground, flapping its wings and struggling to get free... with no success.

Owl is stunned for one more turn.

Sunpaw approached the struggling owl and reared up, bringing his paw down on its head with a harsh thud. His claws raked through its feathers, dislodging a few.

Sunpaw used Front Paw Strike, dealing 6 damage and costing 10 SP

Owl
9/50 HP
100/120 SP

Sunpaw's chest heaved, and he struggled for breath as he stumbled away from Heatherpetal and the owl. He knew that another attack from the owl could be fatal, and his muscles ached from both fighting the owl and training in the Sandy Hollow earlier. This fight needed to end soon!

Heatherpetal yanked the owl onto its back once it had been weakened enough, and she began raking her hind claws against its belly, sending even more feathers flying.

Heatherpetal used Belly Rake, dealing 10 damage and costing 10 stamina.

Owl is Knocked Out.

Heatherpetal

Now that it was completely vulnerable and no longer strong enough to fight, Heatherpetal bared her teeth and gnashed down as hard as she could on the owl's throat until she heard and felt the bone snap, and the struggling owl fell limp.

Heatherpetal used Killing Bite, costing 10 stamina.

Owl is dead.

Heatherpetal
35/45 HP

The young warrior panted heavily as she climbed off the bird of prey, now nothing more than fresh-kill. She looked up at Sunpaw and smiled at him. "You did very well for your first fight. I'm very proud of you."

Sunpaw was startled out of his prayer of thanks to Starclan by Heatherpetal's praise. They had won... but he didn't feel that great about it. In fact, he felt horrible. "No... I didn't do a good job. I ran." Sunpaw looked up at Heatherpetal with guilt in his eyes, his right eye still clouded with blood. "I was scared. Speckledfang always told me about all the stories of kits being carried away by owls, and when it blinded me..." Sunpaw let his head hang low. "I'm really, really sorry Heatherpetal. You deserve a better apprentice."
