Hello everyone! Today is the day: The beginning of the Fourth Great Journey is here. Directly below is the current plan for how things will progress until they finally set sail for the new territories. * Boats begin to crowd the docks. The clans do not understand why there are so many boats— are the two-legs up to something? Is it fun? Is it exciting? * The volcano in the Edge of the Forest erupts. Smoke and poisonous gas pollute the air and hide the sun. Lava flows, burning trees and homes. * The loners rush to the clans, who were in the midst of a gathering. They are panicked— screams are drowned by the sounds of falling trees. * The leaders instruct their clansmen to rush to the beaches, while they and a small group of warriors rush back to their camps to evacuate everyone. * Everyone rushes to the beaches, where the boats were waiting. The clans understood why the boats had come— the two legs had called for them, for they knew the volcano would erupt. * The leaders lead their clansmen to the boats. The lava is slowly approaching as the boats begin to leave. * They set sail, watching their home burn. Each group has their own evacuation plan! Additionally, each group may have their own boat, though which one you choose to get on may vary. Links to boat information shall be provided soon. ThunderClan: Maleficentstar would evacuate all the kits, newer apprentices, and elders first as they’re the youngest and oldest in the clan and therefore would be more at risk for not knowing what to do or not getting out fast enough. Warriors and older apprentices would help them before escaping themselves to the beach. Maleficentstar himself would stay behind, along with about 5 other cats, to make sure that everyone is properly out. He wouldn’t keep a large group as that means more cats in danger. He would ask either Auklet or Cherishedmirth to stay with the cats at the beach so that there's someone there to help lead them and make sure there isn't chaos. RiverClan: The cats will be escorted off their territory by frantic twolegs surveying the area. The boats will meet them in the desert by the sea. WindClan: After the calamity hits, there will be limited time to reach the boats. Legendstar will send a team of WindClan cats, about 3-5, to alert those back at camp of what is happening. He will rally the cats alongside him at the Gathering and, with the assistance of Wildflowerspring, make sure everyone gets safely to the beach. The WindClan patrol will consist of only the fastest runners, and they will spend limited time warning those back at camp. Kits and elders will be prioritised for help, and warriors will be commanded to stick together and help those that cannot cross the desert easily. Tunnellers will collapse all of the opened tunnels before joining their Clanmates and will work together to collapse the main tunnel once everyone has exited to preserve the WindClan camp. They will cross the desert and meet the other WindClan cats at the shores, where Legendstar will survey the crowds and make sure that everyone is accounted for. Once there, they will be pushed as far back towards the water as possible. No cat must leave the inner circle of the Clan without very good reasoning, and kits must be carried or watched by their mothers at all time. When the boats miraculously arrive, little time will be wasted on whether or not to trust it. It’s their best bet, right? Legendstar will usher everyone on the boat, with Wildflowerspring and the medicine cats leading, kits and queens next, apprentices and elders after them, and finally warriors. Legend will bring up the rear to be certain that everyone is on board. ShadowClan: Queens, kits, and elders will be evacuated first! Warriors will help with the queens and kits, and the apprentices will be evacuated by the apprentices. Quailstar will help the medicine cats with transferring herbs to the new boats. Prey piles will be taken by available cats for extra food source. Loners: Due to being closest to the eruption and without a system, loners will be rushing/running towards the beach in order to escape the lava. Kittypets: Alongside their owners, the kittypets have been taken to the grand cruise ship that will now house them alongside the loners. They each may have their own separate rooms, purchased by their owners. Human owners may have decided to board together, so sharing a room with other kittypets might be a new experience. They already boarded the cruise, at the first signs of eruption from the volcano. Everything originates from the gathering studio! Please wait for this account () to begin the roleplay. All important events and situations will be announced with this account. The calamity begins when this account posts the gathering starter.
