NightClan Roleplay Synopsis

The roleplay opens with Aspenpaw listening with mock patience as Fallowpaw chatters about a failed attempt at hunting a bat. Fallowpaw slips in a puddle.

Robinpaw joins in the conversation, and the apprentices reassure Fallowpaw that he will become a warrior despite his physical weakness. Fallowpaw agrees heartily and announces that one day he'll hunt enough to feed ten Clans and chase away NightClan's rivals, and "no one will starve anymore."

Ravenstrike approaches and calls Aspenpaw and Fallowpaw away on hunting patrol with her and Galefoot. Aspenpaw inquires after Vixentail, Fallowpaw's mentor, and Ravenstrike says that she is feeling ill. In her thoughts, it is revealed that Vixentail no longer has confidence that Fallowpaw will complete his training.

They set off for the Stonemoors at Galefoot's encouragement. Fallowpaw bounds ahead, but is forced to stop when a coughing fit brings blood to his mouth.

Meanwhile, Snowfeather shows Icepaw how to catch a hawk. Icepaw becomes frustrated with her training and begins pummeling the wall until her claws break.

Vixentail brings the hawk to Lichenstar, who throws a tantrum when she accidentally allows the fresh-kill to touch his bedding. "Concerned" for his health, or rather for her own reputation, Vixentail leaves his ledgetop den and visits Snowfeather.

Snowfeather suggests herbs to help clear Lichenstar's mind. Robinpaw breaks in with her own reccomendation. Just as Vixentail grows impatient, Robinpaw leaves for Lichenstar's nest with Snowfeather behind her. Vixentail follows.

Ravenstrike's patrol reaches the Stonemoors, and Galefoot gives a short-lived lesson on swiftness to the apprentices while trying (and failing) to flirt with Ravenstrike. As Fallowpaw runs, he collapses, seized by a second fit of coughing much worse than the first. He begins to retch blood, but Aspenpaw makes no move to help him.

Ravenstrike hurries over, with Galefoot close behind and Sparrowcall arriving moments later. She tries to soothe the ill apprentice and orders Galefoot and Sparrowcall to take him back to camp. Fallowpaw continues to cough, becoming increasingly dizzy until he can't recognize Ravenstrike, and protesting all the while that he wants to finish the lesson.

Fallowpaw is taken back to the medicine den, and he loses consciousness. Vixentail, Ravenstrike, Robinpaw, Snowfeather, and Swallowcall are present, as Robinpaw wishes to consult with her mentor before treating Lichenstar, now that Sparrowcall has returned. Galefoot and Aspenpaw return to their patrol.
