Roll says... 6: Fighting apprentice.
They'll have to wait. You duck around a pair of fighters and run for the molly, who's hissing at her opponent. She catches sight of you when you shout for her, and luckily the tom turns his head to see who's talking. She swipes at his face before darting around and joining you, and the two of you manage to lose the cat in the crowd.
"We need to get Darkpelt and the other apprentices," you shout, barely able to hear yourself over the roar. The apprentice nods and runs for the blind warrior, while you run through the crowd and fetch the other two apprentices. Quickly, the five of you make your way past the fighting and out into the open.
When you stop and look back, you can see that the fighting from the Gathering has tumbled out into the pathway, and now the area is covered in swarms of screeching cats. Heatherheart breaks free of her opponent and gives the signal to run - a strange, warbling yowl that ends on a high note. A few of the warriors manage to get away from the others and push through the crowd.
The white molly is nudging you. "Where do we go?"
You turn and look ahead. "Across the road! Quickly!"
You're fortunate in that there are no monsters out tonight, and the rain is finally starting to fall, accompanied by bellowing thunder and lightning. Your scent won't carry through this.
You look both ways before all five of you run across, careful to keep silent. Someone is limping, though the weather makes it hard to see who, and Darkpelt is coughing. You make it past the black road, but a sharp slope that you weren't expecting catches you. You trip and tumble down to the flat grass with a grunt.
When you get to your feet, the apprentices are with you, and Darkpelt is carefully skidding down the hill, making those odd clicking noises to map out her surroundings. Your Clan's apprentice is the first to speak.
"What should we do now?" they ask.
"M-maybe we should...stay here," says the tiny FenClan tom, shaking like a leaf and hardly able to get his words out. "I-I mean...it seems safe?"
"Really?" The white apprentice looks around. "I can't see anything."
"How awful that must be," Darkpelt says dryly. She joins you and raises her head, clicking her tongue and twitching her ears. "We're in a marsh field. There's plenty of tall grass - should be safe, since it's too wet to sniff us out."
"We were supposed to meet up the road a little," you say. "There should be a patch of empty land around here somewhere. That's where we were going, in case we got split up."
"We need to stop," protests the taller apprentice. "Pipitpaw's frightened. Someone's injured - I smell blood. We should wait for a minute."
"Everyone might assume that we got caught and chased back home if we wait," says the white molly. "We need to get to the meeting spot as soon as possible. Dawnwhatever, you know the way, right?"
Keep moving.
Wait for a minute.
