PENNED BY PLOT

Quailstep stood in the clearing, looking at her assembled Clanmates - young and old, gathered together… to listen to her? It felt so strange, to think that everyone would pay attention to something she had to say. But clearly, Hawkstar placed this trust in her, and she was going to do the best she could.

"Fellow cats of SkyClan!" she began. "As we continue our celebration of a year in our new home, I'd like to offer everyone a bit of a friendly competition!"

"This competition is meant for all of us - from the young to the old - and will serve as a reminder of the guide for our lives which we hold so dear. Collaborate, listen, and help each other as you compete for the honor of being the ones most knowledgeable of our Warrior Code!" Quailstep took another step forward, grinning at her Clanmates.

"Clanmates, divide yourself into three teams! Each team will work amongst themselves to prove their knowledge of the code… with a scavenger hunt! Collect fourteen items, each to represent one of the tenets of the code, and bring them to me to prove your knowledge! You may find what you seek in camp, or out in the pine forest or further, but I trust your minds and loyalty to determine what best reflects our way of life!" As the cats gravitate towards the three groups, her gaze lands upon yours.

"Your team will be Team Trout, named for one of our leaders of old, a noble cat who upheld our traditions. Bring to me an item representing each rule of the code in order to prove yourselves!"
OOC: Welcome to the Moonlight Celebration Scavenger Hunt!
Your team will need to work together in order to receive the prize of 8 points towards the event badge! Even if your team does not manage to complete all 14 rules, anyone who participates will get 4 points!
For reference, the code can be found here; there are 14 rules of the code.
Members of the team can be of any age, as you can find items both in and out of the camp.
A character may only join one team and you may only have one character in each team.
Please allow for other people to post before you make a second post in the thread!

In order to find an item for the scavenger hunt, you may roll a d10. On a 6 or higher, your character finds an item to represent one of the rules of the code - you can pick which! Just come up with the item and how you will justify it connecting to that particular rule!

The Moonlight Celebration mega thread has some prompts if you're having difficulty, but feel free to come up with your own ideas!

I will keep this post updated with which rules for the code have been covered by this team - the competition will end on December 16th!

Rules Covered: 4, 11

BRIGHTNOSE | SUN GUARD
"ALWAYS CONFUSING THE THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD"

.

The Warrior Code - it's something all SkyClan cats live by, passed down through countless generations. The very essence of life that makes up a true warrior's purpose. Brightnose, of course, knows all of the rules by heart, as do her fellow Clanborn warriors. Whatever Quailstep had cooked up involving a Code-themed scavenger hunt would surely be beneficial as both a refresher course for cats such as herself and a learning opportunity for cats newer to the Clan.

She turns to her team - Team Trout, as Quailstep had called them - and attempts to rally them. She's not much of a public speaker, but her friend had undoubtedly worked hard to set all of this up, and she wants to show her appreciation by getting very invested in it.
"Ahem! Team Trout! Let's - uh - let's plan our route of action to best secure each and every hidden item!" She scans the small crowd. There's certainly a range of different cats, which could be used to their advantage. Hm…
"I would personally suggest we split into smaller groups of two or three to search, and regroup here after… uh, let's say sunhigh. Warriors and apprentices can scout the territory, queens and kits can scout the camp. Let's keep in mind all fourteen rules within the Code as we're searching, okay? If anyone needs a refresher on them, I can recite them for you before we split up." She smiles politely, her ears pinned back ever so slightly with surprise at her own initiative. It's for Quailstep though, so this is okay, right? Hopefully she's not overstepping.


//ummm i rolled a 5 so bright is here for moral support i guess!! 😃 /silly

PENNED BY PLOT

Cloudbearer found himself gravitating to the group that Brightnose was rallying, looking to the sun guard for guidance and nodding along as Quailstep and Brightnose explained the rules.

Hm... the tenets of the code. It was definitely a bit of a creative exercise, but one that he was happy to participate in. After all, since he'd learned of the lack of code in the other Clans, it was even more important that they upheld these precious traditions.

He pondered the code, looking around the camp, and then... A-ha! He padded outside of camp, where the remains of prey were deposited, searching for a bone with plenty of bite marks. He trotted back into camp, placing it before Quailstep and Brightnose.

"'Prey is killed only to be eaten,'" he recited. "The marks on this bone represent our consumption of the prey and our effort to not waste what StarClan provides."
OOC: Rolled a 7! Cloudbearer has brought an item for Rule #4.
 

Ptarmiganpaw sat at the side of Brightnose, one of the cats she looked up to most, listening to Quailstep's explanation and Brightnose's rallying. The young apprentice did not rush off to find something random; instead, they sat listing the code. Even as a new apprentice, she had memorised the tenets of Starclan through and through.

Watching as other teams scattered, she tried to recall her first discussion of the code. It felt so long, yet it was as fresh in her mind as if it were yesterday. Talking with Swirlpaw, now Swirlstrike, a thoughtful expression crossed her mind. Ptarmiganpaw didn't know if it was in the spirit of the search, but there was one code she found the most admirable.

So, they stepped forward, empty pawed and looked to Quailstep sheepishly. "I hope this isn't cheating... But I sorta represent the code to never neglect a kit in pain or in danger, clanborn or not." They stared at their paws, but still smiled. "That part of the code saved me, 'cause even if I wasn't born to the clan, I've been accepted like I was always here."



Roll 1d10 -> Rolled an 8 (Success!)
Bringing herself for Code 11. No cat can neglect a kit in pain or danger, regardless if they are Clanborn or not.
