Oracle of the Flowers {Multi-Clan Journey}

Phase #1

Basilbloom's ambitions have never been a secret to herself; she wants to make a mark on the life of the clans and along the way improve her own clan, though she doesn't really know exactly how she'll do that.  However, one night the young medicine cat receives a strange dream, where she sees vague, blurry visions of unknown places.  She sees Twolegplace, a vast sunny field, and a patch of unfamiliar flowers.  They are a pinkish-purple color and look as if a tiny pinecone is sitting in their center.  She also sees in her dream sick cats being given the flower as medicine in various forms (the seeds and sap given to cats with coughs, and poultices made from the leaves and petals spread on wounds), and her dream ends with the same cats appearing healthy and happy.  When she wakes up, the dream was so vivid that she can remember every little detail and knows that it was much more than just her imagination.  Waking Murkystar, she tells her mother about the dream and tells her that she thinks StarClan wants her to find the flower.  After a bit of convincing, Murkystar gives her consent.  Basilbloom also wants to consult the other medicine cats, in case they know anything about the strange plant.

She meets with the other medicine cats and tells them about her dream, along with any leaders that want to take part in the topic.  They don't know about the flower, it truly being knowledge from StarClan, and Basilbloom announces her plans to lead a group to find the herb.  The medicine cats who want to attend will agree to go with her, and will leave within the next few IC days. To save time (since I want this plot to happen pretty quickly) if the leaders want to give permission IC they can be present at Basil's meeting with the medicine cats.  If not, permission can be confirmed OCC.

Phase #2

The clans will pick representatives OCC, and the patrol meets at Fourtrees to begin their journey.  The patrol will have 10 members - two from each clan - and this will be the topic for them all to meet each other and for Basilbloom to speak to them about their mission before they set off towards Twolegplace.  There will be three cats with special roles in the patrol; a cat with knowledge of Twolegplace (Beechfang), a cat who will get sick with whitecough (Thrushnose), and a cat who will get a serious physical injury (Timbersun).  In this topic, the cat with knowledge of Twolegplace will be given the role of guide and work alongside Basilbloom. (In this topic everyone will have 72 hours to post with their character before the patrol will leave.  Any character that doesn't post during this time will be assumed to have forfeited their position on the patrol and a backup will take their place.)

After finding their way into Twolegplace and walking for most of the day, they will come to stop and regroup in the Old Twolegplace.  (I'm aware this territory is claimed by Little Ripped's character Big Kevin, I will roll an invasion dice)  This topic will be a chance for more character interactions, as well as to hunt.  In this topic, Thrushnose will begin to display symptoms of whitecough.  However, during the hunt (either by someone rolling a 10 or once everyone had a chance to get the requirement who want it) the patrol will encounter a dog.  They'll fight until the dog flees or is killed, but Timbersun will be injured to a greater degree than the others and play the role of the injured cat.  After the dog is defeated, the patrol will settle down for the night and any medicine cats there can treat the injuries.  (Everyone will have 48 hours to post in the topic with either a normal post or a hunting roll before the dog appears.  The fight will run on 24-hour rules to keep things moving.  It will offer hunting, battle, healing, and development topic opportunities for requirements)

The next day, Basilbloom will awaken from another dream where she can see the field and the mysterious herb more clearly and feels called to lead the patrol in a certain direction.  Waking them, she will lead the group through Twolegplace in the early morning until they find the Great Garden.  From here, an herb hunt will begin with everyone participating.  Rolling a 1 means the cat found nothing, 2-3 means they found a plant that is ordinary to the clans, 4-5 means they found a plant that is unfamiliar to the clans but isn't the one they're looking for and rolling a 6 means you found the mystery herb.  However, it will be a bit challenging IC, since currently, most flowers are in hibernation for the winter.  (In this topic everyone has 48 hours to post their first herb roll.  This topic will have flexible posting order for the entire herb hunt, you are free to post as soon as someone else posts after you if you wish.  If no one rolls a 6 within 72 hours, Basibloom will find the herb herself by default.)  In the end, Basilbloom will confirm that the right herb was found and suggest that its name be Coneflower, after its appearance.  Right now during the winter only the flower head, leaves, and stalk remain.  Basilbloom remembers the techniques she saw in her dream and gives a few seeds and the sap from the flower's stem to Thrushnose and it eases her cough.  She creates a poultice from the leaves and spreads it on Timbersun's injury, and it soothes the wound.  Knowing that they found the right herb, Basilbloom instructs each cat to take one flowerhead and several plant stems with leaves to take back to their clans.  They find large beech leaves to wrap the flowerheads in to protect the seeds inside, and once everything is gathered they begin their journey back to the clans.

It takes another day and a half, but they arrive back at Fourtrees and bid each other goodbye.  Hopefully, new friendships were formed between the different clan cats, all with good memories that they remember for a long time.  Each clan group departs for their clans (it's up to the rpers of these cats if they want to do a returning to their clan topic) and plant the seeds from the flowerheads so that in the spring the herb can grow and begin to be used.  Since all clans want to participate, they will all have Coneflower growing on their land.  Basilbloom returns to ShadowClan with Burningwing and explains their journey to the clan.

Phase #3

However, Basilbloom doesn't feel like she can rest just yet, and the night she returns she leaves camp to travel alone to the Moonstone.  In her dreams, she encounters one medicine cat from each clan, who thank her for finding the Coneflower.  Though it isn't a miracle herb, it has so many important uses that it will be invaluable in the years to come, and surely help many cats of many generations.  It can be used to treat colds, whitecough, and greencough, soothe wounds and prevent/treat infection, as well as strengthen the immune system.  After she wakes, Basilbloom returns to ShadowClan, content that she fulfilled one of her greatest ambitions and ready to return to her routine work, though now with a few more friends and much more experience than she had before.
