There was no worry that a new group would take over his home while he was gone. His clan was not yet known of, and what other cat would want to live on an island that hosted a mountain that once breathed fire? He knew that it no longer did so though. The island was now safe. But once word of Ashenclan's existence began to spread, he would need to be wary. Other cats might try to come in and take the land for themselves. Which was why he was going to ask for a Deputy, a second in command to help the clan grow strong!

Duckpelt inclined her head in acknowledgement. "Crowcloud, it would be a great help if you could block the tunnels." The tunnels that Honeystar referred to were those linking the leader's den, the medicine cats' den, and the elders' den. Duckpelt had stated that they were likely part of an old rabbit or hare warren, but that there was no need to panic as they were notoriously flighty and wouldn't come back to reclaim their territory. Crowcloud nodded in acknowledgement. Honeystar jumped down from the Speaker's Tree, leaping from branch to branch until she reached the ground. "Let's go," she told Duckpelt.

While Honeystar and Duckpelt were out on the patrol, Crowcloud worked. "Now, how should I block those tunnels?" he asked himself. "Ah, I know! Rocks and dirt would work perfectly." He bounded out of the camp on the hunt for rocks. He found many small pebbles and brought each one back to the medicine cats' den, ready to start the long process of blocking the tunnels.

Chamrosh wrote:Heronstar opened her eyes, her nose now well away from the water. It was a strange experience, waking up from your first encounter with star clan as a leader. She looked across at the mottled tom who had appeared, and was now sitting by the pool alongside her. He seemed to have a gentle, graceful demeanour about him, but those bright yellow eyes hinted at something else beneath; no cat got to be a warrior without learning to fight, not least of all a deputy that Starclan approved of.
"Good to see you, awake, leader. I'm Chubtail. I just got this strong feeling to come here, and, lo, a new leader."
Heronstar gave a little nod to him, pleased that he really did seem to have a gentle nature. She didn't want a deputy who would needlessly attack other clans, and risk their clans safety.
"I'm Heronstar. It's good to meet you. Come, we'll head back to camp, I'll show you around it, and we can choose the warriors den."
Heronstar lead the way back to camp for him; Chubtail gasped as they approached the old two-leg den. "All due respect, but warriors can't share a den with two-legs! We're not mere Kitty-pets. Besides, how do we get in?" He had a mildly derisive tone.
Heronstar tried not to show her amusement at that. He was a proud warrior, which was definitely good. "They have not been here in many moons, and-" They were coming close to it by now- "They used to have a kitty-pet. There's a..." Heronstar didn't know a suitable word to describe it accurately, so she used the closest analogy she could think of: "Fin in one side we can jump through." Heronstar jumped through it and Chubtail followed close behind.
Heronstar lead him through the old two-leg den, showing him each of the smaller component dens, and then up the stairs. She showed him, first, the leader's den, which had a large, soft platform in the middle. He claimed the next den as the warrior's den- it had a soft platform twice as big as the leader's den. There would be plenty of space for warriors; besides, the floor was made of a strange, spongy soft material, which was still softer than many warrior dens.
(Chub - fish; mostly brown pelt with a lighter underside, Tail - agility, climbing, energetic)
[Gustclan has a new deputy- Chubtail]
-----
The first priority now was ensuring that there was enough food to feed themselves. Heronstar wanted to get to having a functioning clan as soon as possible, and focus on training for specific fighting skills and such later on. They needed to have the security to build on, not build up to have security; have the food to fuel their warriors before, the battles to demand more warriors.
The sensible course of action was to go on a patrol, and to not stray too far away until they had more (or rather, multiple) warriors. That said, with only one cat before, Heronstar had not been able to patrol very effectively, and had definitely not surveyed the whole area for what resources it may or may not hold, and the abandoned two-leg house that had been claimed as the camp was only a short distance from the Southern border. The old thunderpath followed a winding path to the Southern border, and even following it, it did not take long to reach the boundary directly. Thankfully, this area of the territory was somewhat sheltered by the more Southerly of the Eastern hills, and so the house was mostly obscured by the trees that could grow there.
If they stayed close to the house, they would also be obscured and there obvious lack of warriors would not be an issue if any other clans' cats saw them... hopefully. Furthermore, it allowed a quick retreat to the camp should the rain get too much worse, or persist for too long.
Until they had more warriors, exposing themselves to needless risk was ill-advised. This meant being observed as well, and this was why Heronstar decided to remain close to the main camp area. Patrols had an added benefit, of course. If they met another warrior, they could be more adventurous on future patrols; and for this sake, Heronstar hoped that they did meet a new warrior.
Hopefully the stream wouldn't have swollen enough to cut off any of the relevant area.

painting roses wrote:Rockstar looked upon the growing group of apprentices, proud that he had an apprentice of his own. He saw Lionpaw, him being almost stone-faced out of the group of young cats. However, there were a few little smiles coming from him as his sister, Burningpaw, shoved him. The leader strut over, tail high. "Okay, all six of you will be spending the whole day together. After a group training session, you'll use the skills you learned by hunting for the clan." He ordered, their eyes collectively brightening and becoming wide. Rockstar smirked, flicking his tail for them all to go to their own mentors. Lionpaw trotted to him, dipping his head. "What training do you have in mind?" He questioned, his level tone with not much emotion. He wasn't sure if the apprentice enjoyed his training, or if he's just always like this. Either way, he didn't really like it. "We'll see." Rockstar told him, ready to leave.
Blackscars felt it becoming late, not having to even look up at the darkening sky. However, he still had something on his mind that he promised himself he would do... Trotting across the cave and coming upon his favorite she-cat to be around. "Drysun? You- Oh, you're already awake..." He mumbled, seeing her roll over and paw at him playfully. Yet, she stopped when she saw the tom's face. "Can, uh, you come with me?" He questioned, the lithe she-cat nodding and following him to the mouth of the cave. However, Drysun seemed to be analyzing him, questioning silently what he wanted exactly. The black tom stopped when he came to an open clearing, the night sky coming from above all the pine trees. "Blackscars? Is something, like, bothering you?" She questioned from behind him, flicking her thin tail. "Drysun, we've known each other for a good part of our lives and, uh... Well, I've met a lot of cats and all when I was a young rogue..." The tom trailed off a bit, shuffling his paws. When he looked up at the ginger she-cat, she seemed confused still. "Do you want to be my mate? Because, I, uh... I love you, Drysun." He confided, smiling awkwardly at her. She stayed silent, seeming to contemplate the idea. However, her eyes glowed quickly. "Yes, Blackscars! I'll be your mate, I love you too!" She pushed her muzzle against his own, even though he was still stunned that she actually accepted. After all, she wanted to be his mate too! The two laid down, nuzzled up to each other to keep their pelts warm from the night breeze.

Heda wrote:Copperflame came back to there meet up spot grinning, he had a trout locked in his jaws and Quailfur had caught a frog which she found not in the river as she was going to try and avoid the water a little. She didn't like being wet and this rain was annoying her to bits. Copperflame didn't seem to mind it, he was soaked from the river and was still grinning. "Beautiful weather ain't it!" he shouted after dropping the salmon and lifting his head to look at the sky. Quialfur just gave him a very unamused look and started walking back holding the frog tightly. She couldn't wait to get into the warm den.
Aspenswirl smiled at Cedarmouse who was quiet, he was shy in Trouleap's opinion or just quiet. "We did a full sweep of our territory. When we return we most likely will take our food to the dens since it's raining. We have some extra materials in the den for you to make a nest." Aspenswirl was kind to explain to Cedarmouse who was still being as silent as a mouse, he seemed a little skittish in Troutleap's opinion. He kept looking over his shoulder now and again. Almost making sure nothing was following them, so Troutleap decided to stay back a bit and check. Listening to Aspenswirl chat all the way. "Troutleap is mates with Runningsong, she is actually heavy with kits. Should be due in a moon or so." Cedermouse looked back and smiled. "W-well that is wonderful Troutleap." Troutleap smiled rather proudly. "Thank you." Once they got back, they were soon met by Quialfur and Copperflame who both were successful in a catch that day.
They were all getting settled down, but Troutleap was waiting for the safe arrival of Soulstar, who was taking longer then usual which was rather troubling to Troutleap, Ivythistle walked into camp soaked and looked at him. "What's with the worried look?" Troutleap looked at her and shook his head. "I am not trying to be worried just thinking. Did you see Soulstar?" Ivythistle nodded. "He went to the moonpool, after he trained Eelpaw for awhile." Troutleap huffed and his tail thumbed on the ground impatiently. Ivythistle smirked, "Do not worry Troutleap, you cannot rush Starclan. They take as long as they like." Troutleap was well aware he just didn't like it at all. "I know that, I am just worried something happened to him on the way back or something." Ivythistle shook her wet fur and shrugged, then laughed. "If so he has nine lives." Troutleap gave her a frown as she started walking away and to the medicine cat den. "Not funny." he called.
Finally Soulstar walked into camp, the sky was dark at this point and the only thing that could be heard were the crickets. He could tell by Troutleap's look something was on his mind. "What is it?" Troutleap looked towards the warrior den. "That new cat, he was nervous when we found him. Acting strange, kept looking behind him. Like something was there, or following us." Soulstar sat down tilting his head as he looked at the den. "Did Aspenswirl notice?" Troutleap gave a little shrug. "I highly doubt it, he was too busy talking." Soulstar nodded in response. Pondering Troutleap's words. "Don't say anything to the others yet. Just keep an eye on this..?" "Cedarmouse." Troutleap corrected him. "Yes this Cedarmouse, I will too. I also want a patrol out before dawn." Troutleap before the two separated Troutleap stopped. "Think he's a threat?" Soulstar stopped but didn't look at him. "If so Starclan hates us."

She's been breaking the code, stealing herbs. It doesn't matter that it's her sister- the clan comes... He blinked. The clan comes first. I'm such a hypocrite. Rabbitwish looked at his paws, with small holly berries scattered around on the floor. He was supposed to be sorting them. Suddenly, the tom stood up, causing the berries to roll across the floor. "I'm going out- Smoothpetal, can you tend to these for me? Thanks!" With a flick of his tail, Rabbitwish exited camp quickly, his nose pointed upwards. Clan comes first. Dawnglow shouldn't have to break the code to help her sister. So I'll make her sister clan.

Smoothpetal stared at the berries that Rabbitwish had allowed to roll across the dusty floor. She scraped them into a pile quietly, listening to the sounds of the den. It was quiet, except for a gentle lapping noise. Stiffening, Smoothpetal lifted her head, spotting the lame apprentice- who should have gotten his name by now- drawing his tongue over Smudgepaw's ears. The two were purring. Smoothpetal's mind immediately centered on replacing the two dark cats with the colors of her and a very specific tom that she was not supposed to think about. No. Witherclan's youngest medicine cat twitched her head to the side, her hackles raising. He is just a friend of mine. Stop it, Smoothpetal. You know he would never think of you that way. "Could you please do that somewhere else?" She mewed, a bit harsher than she had intended, at Smudgepaw and Ravenpaw. The black tom paused, his icy gaze settling on the brown shecat's rigid form. "Only if you say 'please,'" Ravenpaw chuckled, standing slowly and limping out of the den. He paused at the entrance, waiting for Smudgepaw to follow, and with a light sigh, the apprentice did. Smoothpetal heard their paw steps retreating from camp, and she closed her eyes. She couldn't rid herself of the image of her and Webwing curled next to each other like the young Witherclan couple. What is happening to you, Smoothpetal...?

I.C. wrote:tempest breathed heavily as he reached the top of the hill, worn from his ascent after having marked and laid out his territory. he was exhausted, but triumph and exhilaration buzzed in his paws. today, he would officially become a clan leader. he had traveled all his life, drifting between kitty-pet neighborhoods and clan-filled terrain, learning what he could. he would stay, sometimes, but never for long--after all, he could feel the tug of starclan on his heart, leading him further north, until he'd finally reached his new and beloved home. he'd always been very sensitive to the clan in the sky, dreaming of him and the ancestors he had there, and it was that sensitivity that had allowed him to follow the tug of their guidance as he learned what it meant to be a clan cat.
now, he believed he was ready.
he had a suitable territory, a satisfactory name. he'd eaten the bounty of the land and had been satisfied by it. all that remained was to found his family, and to begin. the black tom wandered tiredly to the moonpool, and dropped down beside it, legs tucked underneath him. the water was clear, and shimmered with the light of the moon glimmering within it, dyed silver. being in this holy place, this sacred oasis, made tempest's fur stand on end in both awe, excitement, and dread. for a moment, he stared at his own rippling reflection, before leaning down, lapping a bit of the chilled liquid. it was frigid in his throat, and sent a shiver throughout his body, before his eyes finally closed.
when he opened them again, he was surrounded. familiar faces were all around him, looking down upon him, gazes judging yet compassionate. he felt like a kit again, staring up at the unfamiliar and wild, unreadable expressions of the clan that had taken him in. he desperately hope that starclan approved of his efforts and dreams as the first starry figure came forward, padding weightlessly and soundlessly to face the tom.
tempest recognized this cat--the first warrior he'd ever known. nettlestar had been the first warrior tempest had ever known, a brave and steadfast leader with a heart of gold. she was abrasive and offensive, pushing her clanmates and seeming too serious all the time. he'd been scared of her, at first, but had found that she was an effective and beloved cat, one that was dependable and unchanging. she'd been the first one to teach him what his dreams had meant, the first one to begin training him, the first one to help him on his journey.
"tempest. with this life, i give you wisdom." she meowed, her voice still low, still intimidating even after all this time. "those around you may attempt to discourage you, and the hardships you face will leave you desperate for answers. there will be times when you feel that any decision you make will bring destruction, and times when you may find it bothersome to dabble in affairs with others. i will tell you now that those times will come, and rip at your belly like sharpened claws, but they will not define you. use this life to follow your heart and follow your faith--do not let fear or uncertainty keep you from succeeding in your attempts to foster life within your clan. push aside the background noise to find the truth you seek, and back your choices with complete confidence. use this life to lead your clan upon the path of life and prosperity."
she touched her nose to his, and a roaring wave of pain surged through his body. heat filled him, burning him from the tip of his tail to his toes. it held firmly to the core of his being, a steadfast and unyielding sensation that made his heart pulse in his ears. finally, she pulled away, leaving the tom wide-eyed and gasping, bewildered. suddenly, he wasn't sure he would be able to stomach another nine of these.
little time was wasted, and nettlestar turned back to join the ranks of the stars, before a younger, small she-cat approached him. it took a minute for the black tom to recognize her, and a pang of sadness welled within him. she was a loner that he'd met once on the outskirts of kittypet territory. her twoleg had abandoned her, and she'd been struggling to raise three kits. he'd stayed with her a while and helped her hunt, and had always been surprised at how much she could bear. after all, even though she'd been thin and hungry and exhausted, she looked tirelessly for safe places to raise her kits, and for food to help her produce milk for them. when he'd left, her kits were almost old enough to eat solid food, and he thought she'd been doing well. if she was in the stars while this young, however...
"tempest." berry mewed quietly, her cream and ginger coat filled with its own constellation, shimmering.
"i thought you were going to be okay." the black tom murmured mournfully in response.
the she-cat only smiled at him.
"with this life, i give you protection. after you left, a stray dog tried to make a meal of my kits. i fought the beast bitterly, and drove him off, but when i realized that i was too injured to live much longer, i brought them to housefolk who would adopt them. i saw to the very end that they were cared for, even as i had to push away the pain of my wounds and drag my broken bones to do so. use this life to do the same for your clan; work for them tirelessly, fight for them bitterly, and love them whole-heartedly. there will be times of grief and sorrow, and times of hunger and chaos. you will be the foundation of your clan, and they will need you must never regret the choice you have made. do anything you must to protect your clan, for they will depend on you for their lives."
she touched her nose to his own, meeting his sad gaze, her own shining with compassion. a surge of energy flowed through him,
filling him, and he felt like his body was being bestowed the strength and fury of three mother lions, pulsing within his body and burning at his muscles and bones, creating an ache within his heart. finally, it, too, subsided, and the she-cat stepped back.
"wait, berry, i'm so--"
"you could not have changed the outcome even if you had been there, tempest. you were just a kit yourself." her eyes were soft,
glimmering with appreciation as she turned. "live the life i have given you well."
all the tom could do was nod, still reeling from the life, before he prepared himself for the next one. there were many cats he had known from many different places that greeted him: resilience, by a warrior who had had many personal tragedies and tests of character; humility, from a once proud and arrogant rogue who had suffered the consequences; faith, from a blind medicine cat he had met in the woods on his travels, the first to teach him the ways of starclan; judgement, from a leader who had made the difficult decision to relocate their clan rather than face an unnecessary and lethal battle; justice, from a queen who helped to displace a cruel and ruthless leader with her clanmates; and forgiveness, from an elderly kittypet that had known tempest and his mother, and had spent his days in regret for actions he had once taken.
finally, the last cat stepped forward.
a flood of emotions ripped through the tom, his eyes burning with tears as they threatened to swallow him, to drown him. he'd never expected to see his own dearest brother here in the place of the stars, and he couldn't decide if he was choking on grief or spilling over with joy. the other tom was smaller than him, more sleek, and his eyes shone like mirrors, reflecting the whirlwind inside of tempest's heart.
"brother." he greeted softly.
"sky." tempest sobbed in return.
gently, sky pressed his nose to his brother's, gaze soft and sympathetic. "with this life, i give you endurance. since the beginning,
you have been called by the stars to serve a purpose only you can. you have never strayed from the path that you felt with your heart was the right one to choose. in coming days, there will be cats who might try to dissuade you. there will be times where you feel ready to give up. there will be days when the burden becomes too painful to bear. endure it. use this life to endure any pain and suffering you are made to bear for your clan, and endure any grief and anguish this task will place upon you. never yearn to go back to our kittypet life. you are a warrior now, with the blood of our ancestors boiling in your veins." the younger, paler tom's eyes softened. "use my life so that you may lead a fulfilling and enriching life of your own, as the leader of this clan."
tempest closed his eyes as a surge of warmth poured into him. it was just as fierce as the ones before, but the pain it carried ached deep in his heart, as if he were feeling the grief of losing his brother, his littermates, his mother, all anew. tears spilled over, leaving trails in the fur of his muzzle as he bared his teeth, both comforted yet in agony over smaller tom that stood in front of him.
finally, sky stepped away, and pride shone in his eyes.
"i hail you by your new name, tempeststar. your old life is no more. you have now received the nine lives of a leader, and starclan grants you the guardianship of tempestclan. defend it well; care for young and old; honor your ancestors and the traditions of the warrior code; live each life with pride and dignity. live each life given you well, dear brother."
"tempeststar! tempeststar! tempeststar!" cried the cats of the stars, and the black tom trembled as he watched them, feeling new and revitalized, fear and wonder and determination all warring for dominance in his soul. he was a leader now. the leader of tempestclan.
as sky began to walk back towards the ranks of starry felines, tempeststar called out to him.
"sky!"
the pale tom looked back at him, and was surprised to see determination burning in his brother's green eyes.
"wait for me here! when i'm done on this earth and i've earned it, i'll be back to tell you about all the things i've done and accomplished!" he swore. "so you just wait!"
sky smiled, happiness in his expression as he relaxed.
"i'll be waiting, tempeststar."
when tempeststar woke, it was morning. he opened his eyes, before shifting, getting to his paws, his body stiff and filled with the dull ache that was left from the pain of his nine lives, and assurance that what he'd seen had really happened. the tom looked down at his own reflection in the clear, still pool, and his eyes narrowed in thought, green optics distant. he was a leader now. he had a clan, and he had territory.
but he needed something else, too.
"starclan." he mewed softly. "i am hopeful for the future, and filled with confidence when i think for the future of my clan. i know not what awaits me. i am also fearful, and concerned for the future as i will pave a path that i have never experienced before. i ask you for a guide, a guardian to lead me along the path that you have set for me. starclan, please offer me a medicine cat, to guide and to watch over me, so that i may choose the right path."
with those words, the tom finally stood, before beginning his descent down the path back into the territory he had claimed for his clan.

Simonpet wrote:"It's time for me to visit the Moonpool," said Honeystar to her small but growing clan. "We need more warriors, and a deputy, in case something happens." Though she still had all her lives, it was best to be cautious, in her opinion.
Crowcloud nodded. "Should I come with you?"
"No," replied Honeystar. "I think that it's best that you keep preparing our clan for more cats." She wasn't happy to use her medicine cat in this manner, but in her mind, there was no other option. A growing clan needed space to grow, and as no one was sick, Crowcloud didn't need to use his herbs. Hopefully, no one would be sick in the near future.
"Alright," said Crowcloud. He retreated to his den, presumably to continue blocking the tunnel.
"Duckpelt," said Honeystar, turning to her two warriors, "you and Acornstream will go hunting. We need more food."
"Alright," said Duckpelt, nodding to Acornstream. "Let's go!" The two warriors bounded out of the camp to go hunting. Honeystar sighed, and descended the Speaker's Tree. She would need to hurry in order to get to the Moonpool soon.
It was almost dark when Honeystar got to the Moonpool. She lapped up some water and lay down, waiting for sleep to come. When she woke, all she saw was mist around her. "Cats of Starclan," she said, hearing her voice echo, "I have come to request a deputy who can lead the clan after my demise. Thank you for Crowcloud and my two loyal warriors, Duckpelt and Acornstream." When she awoke, Honeystar shook herself and headed back to camp.
***
While Honeystar was heading to the Moonpool, Duckpelt was teaching Acornstream the basics of land-hunting, something the leader had taught her only a few moons ago. While Acornstream wasn't a great land-hunter, he was an amazing swimmer and fisher, as that was where she and Honeystar had found him: on the banks of the river, fishing.
"What do you think of Honeystar?" asked Duckpelt.
"She's nice," said Acornstream, "but not as nice as you."
Duckpelt smiled. "Thanks for the compliment." For a moment, she wondered if the comment meant something more. She'd ask when they got back from hunting. "Alright," she said. "This is the hunting crouch..."

forgetful. wrote:chestnutstar made her way to the moonpool to request a cat from starclan. as she reached the pool, she dipped the tip of her nose against the water and began to dream. "starclan.. i have lost my son, tigertooth. please, send me an apprentice to help me recover from my lost. other than that, obsidianclan has been doing well." she spoke before waking up and returning back to the clan.
before hopstrike joined the hunt, she went to the nursery to check on hillkit - the sick kit that oatcatcher had found while on patrol. "how is she?" she inquired, watching as the small kit curled up to oatcatcher. a smile stretched across her maw and, before he could answer, she added, "you're a good father, you know." she said which made oatcatcher flustered. "oh, well, i.. uh. thank you. she's doing well." he stuttered, looking embarrassed. also in the den, crowfall watched the two young felines with amusement.[/list]

Chubtail started inching forward along the ground, getting closer to the source of the noise he’d picked up with each foot fall, and then suddenly he stopped entirely, braced up minutely and pounced. For a second, Heronstar thought he had entirely missed the target, as the body of the squirrel seemed to move forwards afterward, but then it suddenly stopped in place, and Heronstar saw that one of his paws had landed on its tail. That was either a very good catch or a sure sign that Starclan was looking out for them. Judging by Chubtail’s expression, he thought he’d missed it, too. He thanked Starclan and quickly finished off the squirrel.
The hare required a lot more effort when they came to it. Partly because Chubtail started distracted, calculating how to place the squirrel so they wouldn’t lose it, but mainly because of its speed. They did manage to catch up to it after it initially bolted, and pounce on it properly, but it was rather fast. They cut the patrol short as they now both had fresh-kill with them, and because the hare combined with the rain had taken a lot of energy out of them both.
-----
Chubtail sat staring out at the ground beyond their main camp, where the edge of the territory was only just visible through the trees, still a way off. He heard a monster pass by, one of the huge ones that had rows of sheep held within them. What were they going to call them? He hadn’t known before he’d come here that the monsters carried their prey back to camp. And what a lot of them there must be to need so much! Sometimes he could make out a noise like a metal bird song through the trees, accompanied by the loud panting of a two-leg on a strange device made of metal sticks and what looked like hollow slices of tree trunk. They would need a name for those, too.
This territory was quite different from what he was used to. He’d never been this close to a two-leg place before. He could see why his mother had always said to avoid the two-leg places now; they seemed to have so many more types of monster than he’d even known had existed.
The fin flapped around noisily behind Chubtail, and Heronstar sat down beside him. She was rather beautiful, he thought, but she seemed far too cautious to want kits before they had a medicine cat and several other warriors. It was best for the clan, and for her, that he didn’t say anything about it yet.
”The rain has finally cleared up, so we should be able to patrol farther now, Chubtail; I want us to head down to the Eastern border. We might be able to better define it, and perhaps test out your fishing.”
Chubtail wondered why Heronstar always seemed to speak so formally, especially when she was referring to Starclan, but didn’t say anything, instead following his Leader as she set off.

She was going on a border patrol, scouting out the perimetor of the island to check for any cats who lived there before Ashenclan moved in, and then heading for a quick check of the Land Bridge. Smokestar himself would be hunting.
