[font=trebuchet ms]Youngblood. Thorntree.
Two names, carved into the wall of the central mountain tunnel, stared down at her. She suspected several more would follow, especially if she started carving the names of everyone who had simply disappeared as well as those who had evidently died... to some people, only two deaths over the span of a year and a half, and only one of which had actually occurred during their reign, would be a statistic to be proud of. It was certainly better than when people had been dying on a monthly or even weekly basis.
It was cold comfort, to her. Even a single death on her conscience was too many. Yet, after the nightmares she'd had last night... seeing that everyone else was accounted for, at least, was somewhat reassuring.
She had to get to the bottom of this, nonetheless. Maybe it was just an isolated incident, but she wasn't about to take her chances. Some additional measures had to be taken to protect everyone. She couldn't just let this slide like she had the incident with the two deer.
Standing atop the rock, Rin called out, "Assembly time. Everyone come over here." Once a decent crowd had gathered, she began, "First of all, one of ours- Thorntree- was murdered at the border a few days ago. We still haven't figured out who's responsible, and where they hail from. From now on, though, until we figure out who killed her and deal with them, I want all patrols from now on to contain at least three people; and no one should be patrolling alone, no matter what." This was a reasonable request, she thought. If no friends were available, a creature could just grab a clanmate or two they didn't know yet.
With a small nod, she added, "I want to welcome Hebi, Hisoka, and Makariy to Elysium, as well as extending a welcome back to Mistrim." Sweeping her gaze over the crowd, she searched for a particular bat-like creature. "Clony- you've done well as a Legate, and more than proven your mettle. I want to offer you a promotion to Warden."
Twitching her ears, she said, "We will continue the cave expedition soon, once we've finished improving our security. I will be holding another combat training, as well as a first aid training, sometime this week. I'll also be hosting a memorial for Thorntree tomorrow night." It was only right to do so for a fallen clanmate.
She sighed. "That's all I've got. Anyone who wants to swear in, step forward."
/tl;dr + ooc notes:
-Thorntree (a wolf NPC) was recently murdered by a suspect that hasn't been ICly identified, so Rin's asking that all patrols from now on include at least three people, and ordering that no one patrol alone (feel free to have your character defy this btw)
