I'M DREAMING OF ☆ o, EMERGENCY MEETING

[RHINESTONE.]

The rats had been driven back from Palmclan's camp, and that was a good thing. However, the bothersome creatures had remained around the territory, and although everyone was doing a valiant effort of fighting against them, they couldn't afford another attack. Rhinestonestar knew this, and that was why the tom found himself pacing back and forth in his den, his jaw set and the gears in his head rapidly turning. He needed to keep the group safe, and make sure no more rats came, but they had no idea of where the rats had come from. It was difficult to remember the morning of the attack, considering everything had happened so suddenly, but he could've sworn that all of the rats were moving in a common direction. Obviously, once they had gone piling down into the camp, they had all split up and run amongst each other. But before that? He could've sworn he had all seen them come spilling over from a common source... the direction of the boardwalk. The revelation caused him to stop in his tracks, pale eyes growing wide before he turned and rushed out, knowing what needed to be done. It would just be a matter of seeing who was willing to do it.

With his heart beating quickly, the rusty red male leaped up atop the meeting rock, turning and calling out loudly, "Members of Palmclan! Gather for an emergency meeting!" Many seemed startled by the sudden call of his voice through the air, and he couldn't say he blamed them. After all, it had only been a few days since their last meeting. Once a decent amount of different faces had gathered around, Rhine leaned back on his paws, stating firmly, "As I'm sure all of you know, Palmclan was recently attacked by a massive group of rats. While we have mostly managed to fight the rats back to the edges of the territory, they still linger, and I think we need to make sure that we're not going to be caught off guard again." He flicked his tail in the direction of the boardwalk, gaze narrowing, before he continued, "Judging by the direction that the group came from, it seems that they most likely came from the boardwalk. Because of this, it looks like a small group of us will have to venture into the boardwalk, and make sure there won't be anymore surprises. However, this will be a dangerous task, considering very few warriors had entered the baordwalk in a very long time. We have no idea of what could be there now." It was a dangerous proposition, but leaving things unknown only guaranteed there was more room for surprises.

Pale blue gaze cutting over those that had gathered, Rhine stated simply, "Some of us will need to go, and some of us will need to stay and defend camp. Obviously, kits won't be allowed on this venture, considering it will be very dangerous. I will be leading the party that goes into the boardwalk, but I need to know who will be going with me, and who will be remaining here." He doubted that the leaving group would be massive, but that was alright. If it ultimately ended up evolving into a stealth mission to get out, having fewer bodies with them would be an advantage.
