Stockpiling [Open WC Hunt]

Hunting wasn't exactly her favorite method of training, but unfortunately, there would always be a need to fill bellies. So she hadn't let out many complaints as she was assigned onto a hunting patrol, even if every part of her would have rather been sparring. There had been a move she had seen one of the more experienced warriors use that she desperately wanted to learn: rearing onto their hind legs, only to come slamming down onto a specific point of their opponent's head. That was a move that she wanted to know how to use. Flicking her tail as she followed out the majority of her patrol-mates, Crakepaw was quick to divert from the group in pursuit of a catch. Of course, the typical hunting protocol had been announced: Call for help if you need it, and try not to come head-first with any predators.

Sniffing the air as she followed the distinctive track of paired steps in the snow, it didn't take her long to hunt down the creature. Attempting to get as close as possible, she kept herself low, moving as she needed to stay out of the hare's senses. Soon as it found her, though, and dared to dart... she gave chase. Her legs pumped, churning snow, and as she got close enough, she turned sharply to cut off the creature. It almost found an escape between her legs, but tossing all of her weight down had meant she would be able to pin it and ultimately catch it.

As her chest huffed, she kept her catch in her maw, looking to see how the rest of her patrolmates were doing.

Crakepaw attempts to catch a hare. Success! -5 SP

Rapidpaw liked hunting. She liked it a whole lot more than sparring that was for certain! However, she did have to admit, she did find the practice spars they would do more and more fun compared to when she was a kitten.

She gave a silent and excited wave of her tail to her sister as the patrol started. As excitable as she was, Rapidpaw still had enough sense not to be loud when looking for prey. She watched her sister slink off and before she knew it, her sister had caught a hare. Rapidpaw eyes went wide with awe, her sister was so cool!

She tried to mimic her paws placement to match what crakepaw had done as she sniffed around for other tries.

Picking up the scent of another hare she slowly stalked in that direction. She could feel her heart beating rapidly from the excitement and building up of this. She spotted her target and let out a quiet long breath that frosted the air in front of her in a silent cold fog.

She pounced out at her prey her hind legs scampering full forward in her leap as she dove at it

Rapidpaw tries to catch hare -5 sp

(Great success! [i ususally play the lower the number the cleaner the catch - since 10 is considered bad])

She had timed it very nicely and had pouces right as the hare was also moving and so it could not even react as she quickly got atop it and nipped it’s neck quickly ending it. She held it up in her jaws flicking her tail side to side happy like

Nectarflower
Rank: T4 Warrior

Nectarflower trotted out of the camp with a pleasant smile on her face and a certain pep in her step. Life had been good to her since they had returned home and it was almost as if the harrowing journey had never happened in the first place. Almost. There was plenty the she-cat missed from the days long gone, but as clan life moved on, so did she. It had never been in her nature to dwell on things out of her control anyway - only to keep going and hope for better days.

Lifting her nose, Nectarflower tested the air, basking in all of the scents of the moor. Her patrol wasn't set to go very far from the camp today as there were apprentices attending, but there would still be plenty of prey. Pretty soon, both Crakepaw and Rapidpaw had successfully managed to bring down a hare each and, certain now that they would be alright, Nectarflower removed her attention from the apprentices to focus on the hunt. She wouldn't be far if they needed anything.

Luckily, while watching over the younger cats, a bird had decided to take its chances on the ground not too far away. Licking her lips, Nectarflower lowered her body into a crouch, ears pinned flat against her skull. She'd never been particularly lucky when it came to hunting birds, but maybe today would be different. It seemed unlikely, though - her body was built for speed, not twisting in the air to catch flying prey. Either way - it was still too cold to pass up this chance.

Nectarflower crept closer to the feathered creature, some sort of swift variety. Then, before she could get much closer, a shadow blocked out the sunlight and a massive shape dove from the sky, talons aimed right for the little swift. Nectarflower staggered back, hissing in shock as she took in the scene before her. It was an eagle! Within seconds, the swift took off, flitting away to safety. The eagle, mood soured and still hungry, turned its beady gaze to Nectarflower.

Fur puffed out with alarm, the warrior opened her jaws to call out to the rest of the patrol. "Eagle!"

Its wings flared aggressively; feathers fluffed out in a display of dominance. Nectarflower had fought enough birds of prey to know that this meant an attack was coming. Screeching, the eagle thrust its wings, propelling it towards the warrior with its talons extended. At the last moment, Nectarflower weaved around the massive bird and lashed out with her claws, raking them through the eagle's feathers and drawing red lines across one of its broad shoulders.

The Eagle used Talon Strike! Damage negated and -7 SP.
Nectarflower used Dodge and Fight. -7 HP and -7 SP.

Nectarflower: (Mild illness debuff)
58/60 HP
(-7) 113/140 SP

Eagle:
(-7) 33/40 HP
(-10) 115/125 SP
