Thunderfluff and Twilightfall check the stores for their herbs, noticing a lack of goldenrod and moss. Goldenrod for healing wounds, moss for collecting water. Things have continued to be hard on the clans as the moons go by, the drought not helping them with finding what they need. When cedarfall calls for another patrol, he seeks out Shadowfrost, and Thunderfluff comes to joins at the oppurtunity to go out and find the herbs she needs. Rainhaze and Larkrush also join the patrol.
The group heads for the river bank east, seeing the depressing state it is in. Shadowfrost investigates the water, dipping a paw in. He finds is to be oddly slick, and tasting bitter. Thunderfluff voices her concerns at him doing so, but finds that it doesn't immediately cause any sickness. When the aptrol pauses to check their markers, Shadowfrost attempts to look for prey, and manages to kill a small mouse. Thunderfluff sniffs out some herbs, first coming across deathberries-- small red berries known obviously for... killing the one who consumes it. Though her luck turns, and she eventually manages to find goldenrod. Rainhaze also goes to hunt and catches a small bird.
The patrol moves one, following the border to the human town. Shadowfrost passes the walls and into the grass on the other side, looking for something to hunt. He catches a large squirrel, and joins the patrol again. Thunderfluff walks around the edge of the wall, and comes across a damp area covered in moss. All the cats gather it up, and head back for camp.
When they return, the group investigate the prey for any sign of illness. All the prey is bad, minus for one frail mouse. Thunderfluff returns to the medicine den to store her herbs, and talks breifly to Twilightfall about the situation at hand-- it is getting harder to find fresh water and signs of struggles are getting wrose. Thunderfluff and Shadowfrost go and give the one piece of prey to Mottledstone, a pregnant monarch in the nursey and Rainhaze's mate. She's been pregnant for 4 moons, with little appearance of looking pregnant at all. She urges them to give the food to someone else, but they insist. When they return to the camp clearing. Twilightfall is seen coming from Cottonstar's den, and comes to the pair to explain that Cottonstar think they need to take real action and find the source of the issue. At the gathering, he will propose taking a patrol of cats up the river, in hopes to find the source of the problem.
