[THUNDERFLASH]

{$title} thunderflash sets up a little obstacle course

With no apprentice of his own, and as a Storm Guard no less, he felt that he needed to do something. He could patrol and hunt, sure, but his paws were itching for more, eyes glittering with the thoughts of doing something fun for training instead of nonstop droning and this is Shadowclan, who we were ambushed by... A snort leaves him at the thought, but he takes his time preparing the stage, shoving logs into place and tying vines in other places. Thunderflash asks mentors if they would allow their apprentices to participate, and any of those that were, Thunderflash leads to where he set what he's calling an obstacle course up.

The Sandy Hollow stretches out in front of them, room for all of them to easily move around. He hums on the way over there, making idly conversation with that apprentices who want to chatter his ear off, but once they arrive he quiets, turning towards the group of apprentices (and their mentors, if they too have trailed after them,) to inform them on what's going on. "Alrigh'! Let's ge' this party started, aye?" He calls for attention. "I've taken th' liberty t' set up a little bi' of an obstacle course up for ye!" His accent is thick, but he's doing his best to keep it clear, conscious that not all of them were used to his yapping.

"Go' a nice circle of obstacles for y' to run a lap on. Or as many as y' want, I'm not yer dad, but..." He gestures to the first once. "Rock steps. Yer meant to weave through th' little 'goals' as fast as possible. Strengthens yer agility." Just as he said, its a set of pebbles spread out in distances from one another in a stretch, weaving to and fro. Some of them were more quick of a snapback then others, definitely meant to force a cat to think quick on their paws. "Th' second..." He turns his head to where he's rolled a stack of logs. Really, it looks like some Twoleg had gone and cut a tree up and left smaller pieces there, but it's whatever. "Strength trainin'. Take the log, push it on it's side, wrangle it across the hollow again."

With these two events already lined up next to each other, the third was by the tree line again. "Danglin' from above is lengths of ivy tha' I tied up. Yer intended to crouch and prowl beneath them back across the' hollow." He gestures to the line of hanging ivy. It sways gently in the breeze, and luckily looked relatively simple. "Bu', at the end of the line of ivy, there's a pebble in th' underbrush at the edge of the treeline." His smile only grows, devious at the thought. "I've scented th' thing with sand from th' riverbed- y'know, the border we share with Riverclan. Should smell fishy enough t' set y' off to where it is. At th' end of the ivy, you're t' pounce on it." Thunderflash turns his head towards the long grass at the base of a tall oak, then looks back towards the apprentices.

"Whoever can get done th' fastest wins th' afternoon off. The rest of y' are back t' huntin' as normal with yer mentors." Thunderflash dangles the rest in front of them like a hook on a line- hopefully, it sinks. "Yer allowed to rough-house if y' think it'll give y' the lead. Now, any questions?"
