Warrior Cats: Choose Your Own Adventure (COMPLETE)

[Greenleaf]

Though the bigger fish was tempting, Rookpaw felt that the smaller fish would be better; it wouldn't attract as much attention as the bigger fish, and therefore she would be able to catch the three minnows more easily. The prospect of winning the challenge was far more attractive than a mere snack.

Looking at the fish Rookpaw decided it would be better to get the little fish, she wanted to win after all.

[mistywater]

Rookpaw ignored the tempting, larger fish, and locked her green eyes on the smaller one.

[~Moony~]

I'll catch the smaller fish

[~*Amber*~]

Either way if she caught one of them- it would still draw attention to the others that one was missing- and the bigger one is not even that big! So the big fish!

[Altias]

The smaller fish would be easier.

Roll says... 7: Little fish.

Deciding to err on the side of caution, you edge up just as the little one wanders a little farther from its buddy and closer to the shore. You can feel Applefoot watching you, but do your best to focus and carefully lift a paw.

You try scooping it out of the water at the same time that it tries to dart away from your shadow and hits your paw, and it ends up flying in the air before hitting the shore, half in the water. It's currently flailing and trying to throw itself back in, but you grab it after a moment of fumbling around, managing to get it into your mouth so Applefoot can see.

Man, these tiny things are slimy. It makes it hard to hold onto, but you don't really care, because Applefoot looks mildly surprised.

"Try one, minnow one," she notes. You release the fish back in the water, feeling rather proud of yourself. You can't see where the big one went - it probably fled back to the school.

At first you expect the minnow to swim as far away as possible, possibly scaring off the others, but it only darts back to its friends and rejoins the group as if it hadn't just nearly been eaten, keeping up with everyone else and grazing around the bottom.

Wow. Minnows are stupid. You figure the fast reflexes are the only reason they're alive.

However, they may not be as stupid as you think, because now they're very closely keeping together, and won't split up.

The second opportunity doesn't come along until almost ten minutes later, and in that time you've been watching them chase after tiny bugs that land on the surface. You experimentally tap on the water a few times, keeping your paw as hidden as it can be, and to your delight, a few cautious fish head towards the movement before rejoining the group. You figure that if you can lead a few away again, you can catch another, and begin dabbing your paw on the surface, slowly heading further away from the group.

A third of them split off, swimming towards the more shallow end of the little pool. Not exactly optimal, but that might be as good as it'll get.

You can try trapping them and catching several of them, since they're all exactly where you need them, but if you fail, they'll definitely know you're there and will likely leave. If you wait, it might be quite a while before you get another chance, and then they might leave anyway, but your previous idea of picking them off one by one was working pretty well, and they're still oblivious to you.

Attack the group.
Wait until they separate.

[~*Amber*~]

Attack! Your bound to get one!

[mistywater]

It's safer to wait until they separate. A fine warrior should be patient.

[shortstop]

Wait until they separate.
