PREPARATION PHASE
Sacrifice of even single soul more would surely be the end of all rationality... How could they bear to see another life snuffed out with a bare palm, so suddenly as to leave them scrambling in the dark to find their missing lights? The anguished face of clan-mates left behind by those ripped from them haunt like masks of torment in grieving dance and ritual of dismay. It is her fault, they scream in gazes sharp as fishing wire. It is an omen of what great tragedy is to be wrought under the star-dusted hourglass that is to be her era as leader. Eyes lined by sanguine distress scan the clearing of metallic boxes, glittering prisons and acrid smoke piles... this is the holding cell for her clan-mates, her kin... and she would see it ravaged if it meant their safe return to the willow-reed dens of their home.
Her warriors had worked tirelessly to see the birth of this plan, one they sat on the precipice of, labored by the tasks that it demanded. This was not simple... and parts of it bordered on self-sacrificial, where death loomed as a very sincere outcome should one misstep. "Where are the... kittypets," she asks in low tones, glancing towards members of the few patrols that had encountered them and begged their aid. It wasn't until they were prepared and in position that they could begin a far more grueling plot...
"When... they're ready..." Her tail quivers in anticipation, knowing that she is most useful as a rabbit playing tag with would-be devourers than she is here directing diplomacy and evacuation. The bears... they were so close to this camp all it would take was a bit of coaxing. If spotted, the mad dash demanded of survival was best limited to one who could afford to fail... right?
Lichenstar doubted there would be no volunteers to aid that process.. those who held fish scored by unnecessary claw-marks to waft their scent more readily stood as bearers of the bait. Those that would lay the trail to their enemy's base the moment everything seemed most prepared. "We'll get... the bears' attention." She coaxes those brave enough (or foolish) to her side, slinking off to better flank their to-be adversaries with their russet-furred surprise. Snakeblink, Mosspool and even Ferngill were plenty competent enough with some form of charisma to see their half of the plan enacted.
Get them out... Get them home.
If she were lucky... she could race home tonight, splashing through the shallow rapids to bury her face in familiar daylily fur... to give a proper scolding to twilight-bright eyes... And if she weren't...
You did what you had to.
Their trek away from the majority of their search and rescue party felt like a silent but permanent goodbye... an understanding that this mission was by no means easy. That it meant willingly throwing themselves towards the jaws of beasts in a hope to redirect that ferociousness on selfish tin-home intruders. "Alright..." her commands stay hushed, barely more than a hiss, "Form... a chain... like we discussed... I'll draw.. the bears... to the first one... the moment you... see them. Start running." They couldn't risk getting too close to be found out before they were ready... But she was unwilling to ask anyone else to play bait. -

THE PLAN:
(feel free to choose whatever group feels most IC for your character)
GROUP 1 - main objective is rescue. they are going to be working directly with the kittypets in breaking their clan-mates out of their trailers and cages. work quickly and effectively to get in and out... trust your newfound allies, it is their expertise we need to get this accomplished! without them, it would be impossible to understand how the latches on doors or cages function!
GROUP 2 - main objective is havoc. these cats are accompanying lichenstar towards where the bears were last spotted with a trail of fish leading towards the twoleg camp. in order to prevent them catching on before the clan-cats are ready, the closest fish on the chain remains too far to be noticed without enticing. lichenstar will serve as bait to drag them in the direction of the chain, hoping from there the scents will bring them to the twoleg camp where masses of fish have been hoarded. once that is successful, they are to assist in any unfinished rescues or add to the distraction of twolegs.
PLEASE NOTE, canonically this takes place MAY 24TH and was delayed due to ooc circumstances <3 Also, this counts as a BOWFIN thread for those who participate!!
