.. GLENCLAN HERB EVENT ..
Come one, come all to GlenClan's first clanwide event thread! If you haven't already, take a peek at our Current Clan News to see what's going on in GlenClan! Due to a forest fire that ravaged the territory a few moons ago, the clan has not been able to gather enough herbs to restock their stores. Myrtleleaf and Mintheart are taking action by leading patrols outside the territory's borders in hopes that there will be herbs there. But it is dangerous, as nobody really knows what lies outside the familiar territory...
Only warriors and a few select apprentices may participate in this event. Cats will not face death rolls in this event, but they may gain injuries depending on what happens during the thread. There will be rolls, so familiarize yourself with our Dice Rolling Guide if you need. The exact rolls we will be using in this event are listed below. How well the patrol is doing will be counted in "herb bundles," and depending on how much each of the patrols gather there will be different endings. The patrol leader (either Myrtleleaf or Mintheart) will keep track of the number of bundles the patrol has collected and include an updated count in each of their posts.
Herb Type: (not necessary, may be done before or after a herb is found)
1-10: Common herb, such as dock, poppy seeds, marigold, yarrow, dandelions, borage, etc.
11-16: Uncommon herb such as feverfew, juniper berries, thyme, tormentil, burdock root, etc.
18-20: Rare herb, such as catmint or goldenrod.
Herb Finding: (similar to detection in hunting rolls, but only using smelling. medicine cats or cats familiar with the herb get a +2 to this roll)
1-4: Your character can't detect any herbs right now. Requires another roll.
5-10: Your character thinks they recognize a herb smell on the wind, but they do not know how close or what it is. Requires another roll to pinpoint the location. If second roll is failed, they lose the trail.
11-15: Your character can tell that there is definitely a herb around, and they know the general area where it is and can make a guess as to what type.
16-20: Your character knows exactly where the herb is, and they are also able to identify what herb it is.
Herb Condition:
1-5: The cats found the herb, but unfortunately it has been completely trampled or dried up and none of it is salvageable.
6-11: The plant isn't in very good shape, but you gather one or two of the good leaves and leave the rest. +1/2 herb bundle.
13-18: The plant is in pretty good condition, and you are able to gather some of it while leaving a few healthy leaves to grow back. +1 herb bundle.
19-20: The plant is flourishing and you are able to gather a bunch while still enough for the plant to grow back. What luck! +2 herb bundles.
If you have any questions about rolling, don't be afraid to ask! Staff and/or your patrol leader will be there to help you if you need. Characters will only be able to roll one die during their turn, with the exception of a herb type roll. There should be a staff member either participating in the thread or "moderating" the thread to make sure rolls are handled correctly. If you make a mistake, don't worry, this is new for everyone and a learning experience!
Examples for how rolls could be handled:
Scenario 1: Myrtleleaf starts out the thread, and she rolls a passing herb finding roll. She communicates to her patrol members where she thinks the herb is. Mintheart is next, and she rolls for a herb condition roll to continue Myrtleleaf's herb finding roll. The next character would roll for another herb finding roll.
Scenario 2: Again, Myrtleleaf starts out the thread and she again rolls a passing herb finding roll. She either does not tell her patrolmates that she smells a herb, or the character that posts next chooses to ignore Myrtleleaf's statement. Mintheart is next, and she also rolls for a herb finding roll. If she passes, she has found a different herb than Myrtleleaf, and if she fails she has not found anything. Say she does pass. The next character that posts may choose to help find Myrtleleaf or Mintheart's herb, or they may choose to look for their own herb. If nobody helps Myrtleleaf with the condition of her herb, she must roll for the herb she found's condition in her next post before she can look for another. This scenario can get confusing, so don't be afraid to ask for clarification!
Scenario 3: Myrtleleaf starts out the thread, but this time she rolls a fail for herb finding or a roll that requires a re-roll (5-10). The next character after that may choose to look for their own new herb, or help Myrtleleaf pinpoint the location of her herb.
Example rolls:
Herb Finding for Myrtleleaf: inqYpTI1 + 2
Herb Condition for Mintheart, helping Myrtleleaf:
Mintheart's Herb Lesson: If you would like your character to be taught about some herbs so they know what they're looking for, signup to be taught by the clan's lovely medicine cat! There will only be one thread, in which you must post twice with your character to gain the +2 to the Herb Finding rolls below. We encourage you to also signup your cat to a patrol thread, so their skills are not wasted! This thread must finish before the patrol threads are started so your cats get the bonuses, so please reply as fast as you can. Each thread will have at least one cat with the +2, as both Myrtleleaf and Mintheart are eligible for the bonus.
Patrols: Both Mintheart and Myrtleleaf will be leading out separate patrols to look for herbs. They will be looking in different areas, and will not run into one another on their searchings. Be warned, herbs are not the only things are out in the uncharted territories. You may only signup for a patrol once, regardless of how many characters you have. Only one apprentice will be allowed per patrol, due to the threat that may be lurking outside the borders.
Mintheart's Herb Lesson will be started as soon as possible by Fen and the Patrols will be started by their respective patrol leaders (either me or Fen) before the end of February, or as soon as the patrols fill up. There will be a posting order; please keep to it to avoid confusion. If you have questions, feel free to open up a ticket in our discord in the #tickets channel or pm staff on site.
