Face Your Fears (Skyclan Plot Idea)

Bump, it'd be nice if ppl gave me some feedback

I very much like this plot idea!

Question: "They seemed alot braver, they managed to face their fears but now cats were missing, Run, Fear and Sus were gone. Some cats died. And one became more fearful and scared than ever, Ch." Will Run, Fear, and Sus ever return after Stage 4, The Fight?

This is a cool sounding plot for sure but there are a FEW concerns. Mainly being, a group of rogue cats isn't going to get into the camp and escape unchallenged with 3 hostages without anyone else waking up/noticing. In addition, this plot requires a cat willing to be an active traitor to the clan (Run) and an at least one apprentice that needs to die (Sus). In addition to the other implied deaths in the end, and the missing cats. One thing I would remove entirely is the predators aspect. I think it would be far more realistic for the group of rogue cats to be the ones doing the attacking, yowling around the camp at night, waiting until small patrols were out and ambushing them etc., so no cat was ever really fully rested and they were always on guard. Maybe find a way to poison the clan cats with mushrooms or such that in addition to the exhaustion would cause the hallucinations. Also, what role do the hostage cats hold? Aside from the incentive for Pre and Run to cooperate, that is.

Assuming the details are ironed out and this got approved I could take the Pretend role for Wolf. :)

To answer you question, Ice it's entirely up to the roleplayers. And for Sus I wrote that the cat would be found dead in camp, but I can't really force anything. The cats who didn't participate in battling would stay in the hole guarded by a few cats. The clan cats would've followed them to the hole to make sure they left, finding the others. Run left willingly so I'd assume if the roleplayer wanted that cat back in the clan they would make them feel grief of some sorts and they'd come back, but that would be entirely out of this plot. For fear? They ran away from the attackers, so the roleplayer could make them a little wary of coming near Skyclan territory but could always come back.



For JJ I see where your coming from, I guess I wasn't really on with details. So they could of watched the clan, increasing rogue attacks. So they know what each cat does and acts like, most of them anyway. They could choose cats from the group who look like some  cats from the clan. Some have really common gentectics so a few might be able to lure some warriors out, before turning on them. Run might turn on their clan mates.. maybe- or there's some sort of put-you-sleep herb that the rogues carried scent of, assuming because of them living in the area or something made them immune. Of course the scent would have to wash off at some point. Anyway so the cats in the den were sleeping and the herb kept them asleep. They might of taken them out but then the herb wore of or something. I'd really like your help on this part.

For your next question, yes, but that doesn't mean anything final. Perhaps the apprentice got really hurt? Or a traitor who was manipulated in a way. Again, this doesn't mean that there would be a cat to fit the position.

The predators? Hm, yeah I guess I can move that to the front and have it rogues becoming a sight more often on a patrol. To support the knowing-clanmates thing.

To think about it, they wouldn't really need any mushroom as the days and nights without rest, most likely sending out night patrols with more cats making others tired and alot of fear. Anything else might also affect the rogues too, and that wont help.

Well Amberwing was taken to the hole thing and saw all of her clanmates. Now to make them more alert they give her a message and sent her back. So she not only told the message she knew where the missing cats went. But not exactly where the hole was. So more patrols are sent out around the area but they keep getting attacked, blocking them from the hole. They probably don't want to lose any more warriors so they send out less patrols, before they stop trying to find the hole altogether.

This... sounds interesting. But I do have a couple questions. I get that you don't know how the rogues would get in or kidnap the cats, though that could possibly be solved if they sorta joined the Clan a while before, like Sol or some of the other Warriors plots the Erins have had, but, the one part that sticks out to me at this point is when the Clan cats start experiencing hallucinations all at the same time. It's true, when you're tired your brain can start coming up with wacky things, but I don't see how if they have them at this point in time, that they wouldn't have had them earlier. I don't know why they'd all experience their worst nightmares, either, instead of just randomly believing they're the incarnation of Beesting the great leader of the swamp :P. Maybe the Dark Forest could come in for that part.... >:)

Anyway, that's just my thoughts on that, but there's also another part that makes me want to raise my hand and ask questions. Namely, the bit where the nights get darker but nobody except Spottedstar, Amberwing, and Fear worry about it. I don't know about anyone else, but I have a feeling that other cats will probably notice it and start to wonder, unless told specifically not to. Which would be interesting, and leave the question of why... but I digress. If anything, them actually starting to worry about the darkening skies could help with the whole 'fear state,' and make everyone less likely to sleep. As writer's wisdom dictates, 'the less you know about something, the more room your imagination has to take it and turn it into something worse,' or something like that. All this freaky stuff going on does sound like nightmare fuel, though, so you probably won't have to worry too much about cats starting to lose it.

Um, I may have written a lot. This is just my two cents, since this plot really does sound interesting, and I'd really like to see where it goes, but feel free to throw everything I just said out a window if it doesn't work with your vision of what you want this to be!

ps: also, I'd totally sign up Swan for one of the slots if they're not all taken by the time this goes through ;)

Thanks for the feedback! For the Dark Forest to be involved might be a little tricky because the Dark Forest would have to want something from Skyclan or stuff. The rogues joining a clan? Well that could also be tricky because of leader rules. They could be told not to worry since it's well leaf-bare and nights usually get longer in leaf-bare. I guess others could worry too but not so much it's really needed to be put in the plot information. They already have alot to worry about, cats going missing and the fear of rogue attacks till they can't sleep anymore, thinking they'd be ambushed in the night. A night that's almost pitch black would make other cats start to worry, alot. They wouldn't really grasp what's going on as their mind is tired and most are hardly awake. For the sudden twig snap could make them jump and they wouldn't know what's there in the shadows as the cats start to attack. At the end of the battle I think everything would get a little lighter and their visions would begin to fade away, revealing regular cats.
