Evening patrol (open)

Sitting by the camp entrance, Mudfoot listened to the almost completely silent evening air. A breeze ruffled the tom's sleek rusty coat and he watched as it ruffled the newly budded leaves above in the trees. With his mate, Littlebrook the leader, it seemed as though she wasn't as free to spend time with him like they used to, which he understood, seeing that she had new duties and all. Hopefully some cat would bring him some company and join him on a patrol.

Dawnpaw walked up to Mudfoot, "Can I come along?" She asked. She was eager to get out and hunting, for she had been cooped up all morning.

(OOC: Hopefully they don't face predators. Dawnpaw's been an apprentice for a little bit over a week and she's already fought a fox and a badger!)

Hearing pawsteps approach, Mudfoot turned to see Dawnpaw standing before him. Standing up, the warrior gave his mid length, rusty pelt a shake. "Of course. Let's head o-" before he could finish speaking, Daisypaw, his son, came running over to the two of them.

"I wanna come too!" the white and ginger apprentice mewed vivaciously, running over to his father and the other apprentice. Daisypaw wasn't about to miss out on a patrol, especially when it was with Mudfoot, and when he saw the warrior about to leave, he practically flew at the opportunity.

Giving a nod as his son arrived, Mudfoot turned towards the camp entrance. "Let's get going then," the warrior mewed and trotted out of the camp, the two apprentices following close behind. "We'll start at the Thunderpath border," he mewed over his shoulder, keeping a good pace towards their first destination.

Dawnpaw followed Mudfoot deeper into Shadowclan territory, aware of the fact hey were approaching the thunderpath. She wrinkled her nose at the foul smell, once they were near it. She tried smelling any sign of prey over the stench, and eventually smelled a vole. She snuck up on  it, sliding into the hunters crouch. All of a sudden the strong scent of fox mixed with Thunderpath overwhelmed her. She herd a low growl behind her and saw a fox. " Fox!" She cried. She ran closer to the fox and swiped mud into its face, being able to blind it for a moment.

'Hunting Dice' : 10

Not thinking much about Dawnpaw leaving his side to find some prey, Mudfoot and Daisypaw continued onward, though the peaceful evening didn't last for long. Hearing the apprentice's screech, the warrior's head shot up and the tart scent of fox hit his nose head on. Not saying anything to his son, who was just as surprised as him, the two toms ran to the scene, where sure enough, they found Dawnpaw wresting with the nasty creature.

Letting out an angry screech, the rusty colored tom wasted no time and sprinted towards the canine. Rearing up, he slashed a paw-full of sharp claws at its face, sending it to stumble backwards. "Are you alright?" he snapped his head to Dawnpaw, scanning her for any wounds.

Mudfoot used Rear-up to Slash, dealing 17 damage, and costing 15 stamina.

Following his father, Daisypaw was suddenly thrown into his first ever battle. Up until now, the young tom had only ever dreamed about being part of a fight, but even though this was only against a fox and not another cat, he found his heart racing. Was he really ready for this? Could he actually make Mudfoot proud?

Shaking away the thoughts, the ginger and white tom unsheathed his claws. Of course he was ready, this was all he ever wanted! This was definitely not the time to be a coward, and he vowed to himself to make his father proud. He didn't want Mudfoot to doubt his capabilities for even a second.

Watching the fox stumbled backwards, blood dripping from its head wounds, Daisypaw let out his first ever battle cry and launched himself at the fox, striking his opponent with as much force as possible, and then running back to Dawnpaw's side.

Daisypaw used Front Paw Strike, causing 6 damage, and costing 10 stamina.

"Yeah, I' alright thanks." Dawnpaw stood back as the other cats attacked. She darted into the shadows of a bush and hid, waiting to make her attack. When she felt it was right, she pushed on her back lags, leaping into the air and landed on the fox. She then started scratching it with all of her claws. Before the fox could catch her she ran off with Daisypaw and Mudfoot.

The Fox screeched in pain as the cats began attacking it. It flung itself backward to get away from them. But before it could do anything to them it felt a sharp pain all over it's back and saw a smaller cat. It tried swatting at the cat, but it ran away before he could. He faced the cats and wondered which to attack first.

(OOC: the fox is gonna get mudfoot nxt turn.)

Glad that Dawnpaw and Daisypaw were alright, Mudfoot watched as the apprentices attacked the fox, proud of their bravery. 'Let's just hope that bravery doesn't turn into ignorance...' he noted to himself.

Not wanting to let the canine gain the upper hand, Mudfoot lunged at it, slicing at its side with unsheathed claws, only to quickly reel back to the apprentices' sides, his fur on end and back arched.

Mudfoot used Front Paw Strike, causing 14 damage, and costing 10 stamina.

Daisypaw watched as the two others attacked the fox. "Hey! Save some for me!" he joked. Leaping forward, the younger tom slammed a paw full of sharp claws at the fox's rump, and quickly jumped back, returning to his father's side before the fox could react.
