{$title} Jadetthorn hands out hunting patrols and decides to hit Thunderclan
There's only two types of people in the world

The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe

It was almost becoming second nature, the way her paws found a trail up the barren wood of the bush. It felt so often that she had to step into this role of organizer. It seemed a necessity, as the days grew colder and the pocosin kept them barely surviving by a thread. They were lucky the patrols into other lands usually went well, bringing back enough to get them through more hunts. To keep them moving. Even the bush underneath her paws was suffering through the freeze. Yet it still held her weight, a testament that they would hold their own.

With a ragged breath brought in, the movement aching her thinning muscles, Jadethorn called out to the clan. "Shadowclan! This leafbare has been gruelling. This mud swamp has been leaving us starving for to long. It's time again we turn our claws to different land. And who better to visit then our old...friends from the colony." There was an underlying hiss in her words. Last to be hit when they should have been the first. They were to lenient on the white knights, in her opinion. All because of Sable's estranged partner holding leadership over there.

"We'll be trying a different tactic then how we approached Skyclan. Two patrols will be going across the thunderpath. Shiverflame will bring the trappers at dusk to cross near the barrens. Be as loud as you want 'cause you'll be the distraction. Be prepared to defend yourself..." A young choice, but son to Marrowkeeper, who was showing promise in the night guard's eyes. The fiery temper was sure to help him cause a ruckus as well.

"'Cause Echostep's patrol will be needing the cover." The green gaze found the striped pelt of the thief. "You did well leading us thieves into Skyclan. I'm sure you'll do well sneaking us into Thunderclan next. You'll be crossing once you see the rocky section on Thunderclan's side. Hopefully, we won't run into any trouble with the help of our Trappers." This was going to be a larger operation, but if everything went smoothly, they would be able to feed the clan through whatever injuries they may come back with.

"Now, obviously, we can't leave no paws at home. We need every cat trying to dig up prey. That's why I agree with Sable's last decision to bring the nursery kits out to explore and practice. Snowdropheart." She barely trusted the molly to be anything but a soft shelled worm but if there was one thing she was good at, it seemed to be the patience of hunting. "You will take the caregivers and kits out onto the territory. Go where ever but make sure they learn every step of the way."

The rosetted molly turned her attention over the group as a whole. "The rest of you can follow Frogheart up north. We havent touched that land in a while so there may be some scraps we missed. Hopefully you'll have success where other's may have failed." Their venture to the monster tree seemed to go well afterall, even her own apprentice snatching his first kill in the entanglement of metal. Let's see how they did in a completely different section of the territory.

"That's all. I expect the Thunderclan patrols to be ready to go within the next day. The thieves and trappers should work together for communication. Everyone else, good luck with your hunting and we all hope to see results." With the usual shake of her pelt, Jadethorn stepped downward to go look for her own apprentice. Maybe he was ready to step into enemy territory. Who better to learn about then their colony breathern.

Snowdropheart


Snowdropheart listens to Jadethorn give out hunting patrols, but instantly feels her fur bristle at the mention of the plans. Even more theft? She supposes she cannot complain, if the party proves successful, but making enemies with yet another clan... and one that already has high tension between them. She has kin in ThunderClan and though she's loyal to ShadowClan without a doubt, she still doesn't feel the most comfortable stealing from their neighbours. She's a trapper, she knows she'll have to be spotted in order to distract ThunderClan from the thieves patrol and she dreads the possibility of having to fight. If it was for good reason, for ThunderClan provoking them or crossing the borders, but here, ShadowClan would be the tresspassers.

Snowdropheart is whisked from her thoughts by her own name being called - Oh. She'll be spared this time, instead being assigned to take the kits out. Her heart calms down as she steals a glance towards Wisteriastrike. It is the most noble task of them all, to take the children out and teach them. She'll keep them and the caregivers safe.
OOC: Patrol here
 
Another moon has passed with rumbling belly. At this point she was seriously considering weighing her options. However, she did promise Frogheart her loyalty. It would be difficult to fulfill that promise if she left ShadowClan to find better lands. I wonder what the clan will do next? Apparently it is as if Jadethorn has listened to her woes by gathering them all. Her answer? To steal from ThunderClan. Although, the Night Guard says they are old friends. While that my by true for the clan as a whole, she had joined long after the massive clan was cleaved in two. She holds no love for any ThunderClanner or knows anyone personally. If they must steal from them, so be it. She'd rather not succumb to hunger.

As for how they would go about stealing from the other clan? Apparently she and all the other trappers will be lead by Shiverflame to be the distraction. In other words, they are being sacrificed for the Echostep's group of thieves. Hooray. Not only did she have to prepare to fight for her life, if Echostep's group returned with nothing to show for . . . It was better not to think about. For now she would prepare herself for when she had to set out. No clan was going to allow their precious prey be taken from them without a fight.
