It'd be cool if they ran into a mountain lion! I know they're very rare, so it'd be an interesting occurrence for them. The patrol should be big enough to scare it off with minimal fighting. Or instead of a mountain lion, maybe a porcupine and its young? Maybe one of the apprentices scents it first but they don't speak up about it until they accidentally run into the porcupine and get quilled!
Another idea: maybe an apprentice finds the equivalent of death berries (baneberry?) and is just narrowly saved in the nick of time from an older cat (or another apprentice). Or med cat apprentice brings his normal herbs to Thistleface and accidentally puts something poisonous in it that med cat doesn't notice. He doesn't have to die but it'd be fun to see the turmoil of an accidentally poisoned cat!
Of course, we could always have an eclipse. Or find crowfood in the freshkill pile, both bad omens. I don't know what the prophecy is just yet but those could be worked into it.
All good ideas! Hmm… 🤔 I like the idea of them running into something on patrol, I think the group is big/strong enough to fight off a mountain Lion. What do you guys think?
