Your New Deputy and Pups!!!

Spark bounds up to the High Stone and howls, calling the pack to her. She looks down at everyone. The dogs running for deputy stand expectantly beneath the High Stone, fur groomed and chests puffed out. Spark said, "ThunderPack, you have all voted for your deputy, and now the results are in. Ice, you had the most votes and will be deputy." She watched the younger trainer as her smile grew, and she jumped up in joy. Howls of approval erupted from the rest of the pack. When she could be heard again, she continued. "Kisharu, the votes were close, but you were runner-up. Congratulations, you will be head warrior from now on. Third in command. Leo and Cleo, Brambles, and Amber, thank you for running, but you didn't have enough votes. You are still honored warriors among the pack." The pack was still murmuring excitedly.
"Now for other matters. Thank you to every dog who helped rescue Surry from the ravine. She is now safely in camp, where I had time to question both pups further. They say they can hardly remember their mother or father. Instead they remember a pack of big black wolves, with a harsh accent, ordering them around all the time, and abusing them. Frock said they were not related to them, but don't remember how they came to live with them. I suspect they were too young at the time. These wolves were chasing the pups when Surry slipped and fell down the ravine. One wolf told Frock that we were up ahead,and he came to find help. When he returned they had gone. I don't know how they knew we were here, unless they were on our territory, watching us. So from now on Ice, please double the border patrols, and hunters please keep an eye open for anything suspicious. Frock and Surry will stay with us from now on." Spark thought for a moment.
"That is all," she said, "Meeting dismissed!"

"Ice, Ice, Ice!!"
"Kisharu, Kisharu!"

A Young Newcomer

A small light brown pup hurtled into the camp, wide-eyed and panting. He looked around, startled by all of the dogs around, but he need their help. He ran up to a black dog, Blaze, and stammered, "Help! My sister is hurt, please help us!" Blaze looked down at the young pup. He crouched down to be at eye level with him.

"Hi, young one, who are you? I don't recognize you." He didn't take the pup's desperate cries seriously at all.

"My name is Frock, and my sister, Surry, fell! She's stuck down there and I can't get her down without falling myself! Will you help us?" He kept glancing back, as though making sure Surry weren't going to sudenly appear out of the forest. Blaze realized Frock really meant what he was saying. He stood up.

"Let me go talk to my leader, Spark. ome with me." He quickly trotted over to Spark, who was eating a piece of deer with Ember. She looked up when Blaze arrived with Frock scrambling along beind him.

"Who is this, Blaze?" She asked, swallowing a mouthfull of deer meat and standing up.

"This is Frock, he just came. He says his sister Sully fell and is stuck somewhere."

"Surry! Frock corrected him impatiently. He was hopping around on his toes. "Quick, can you help me get her out?" Spark immediately burst into action.

"Yes, where is she? What did she fall into?" she demanded.

"A ravine I think," he answered. "Follow me!" He turned and started running back the way he came.

"Whoa Frock, let me gather my pack first. Spark then juped up onto the High Stone and howled. He pack gathered before her. "This young pup here just arrived, telling me that his sister has fallen an is stuck. We cannot ignored a pup in need, so I want Kisharu, Moona, Echo, Blaze, Star, and Leo to come with me. We never know what we'll find. Let's go!" She jumped off the High Stone and jogged to where Frock was. He quickly turned and once again made for the trees, the dogs following him.

Echo hung back, following behind last. He had a familiar feeing about Frock. Almost as though...no, it couldn't be. He slowed even further, letting the dogs ahead of him slip out of sight. There was something fishy going on here, and he had to find out what.

(If you were chosen to go, comment on how you get Surry out of the narrow ravine. Surry is the black pup, Frock is brown. Bring Surry and Frock back to camp, please.)

Deputy Nominations Page

Spark jumped up onto the High Stone, the sun shining down for the past day had melted most of it away. The Stone even felt worm to her paws. She howled. "ThunderPack, now the time you jave all been waiting for! We need a deputy, with our growing size, and I believe you should be the ones to choose him or her. Please tell me if you want to nominate youself, or if you nominate someone else. Of course you have to be a trainer or a warrior, sorry, no trainees," she added, seeing several looks of dismay from the trianee's gathered around. The deputy will basically just put together patrols, and keep the pack in line when I cannot. So who wants to have a chance at deputy?" Spark asked, looking around.

(If you told me on the last post, just post it again here. Please, if you are running try to come on regularly, or as often as you can. I will set up a poll soon, so post quickly if you want to run!)

The Storm is Over!!

Spark glanced doubtfully up at the High Stone, now five feet higher up because of the snow. "Not going to happen," she muttered to herself. But she wasn't going to let five feet of snow stop her. "ThunderPack!" she howled. "The blizzard has passed! And we are still growing! I would like to welcome Soul and Light into the pack. Amber and Ice have been chosen as their mentors, please teach them all you know." She watched as the dogs who she had called out poked their heads up and looked around for their new trainees or mentors. "We also have Snow, a new pup joining us. Night, would you please look after her until she is six moons old, and can become a trainee?" She glances down at Night and Snow, hoping Night would take to her. "Now, ThunderPack, let's hope this snow melts fast so we can get out of here soon! We could try digging our way around more...we'll see. And now to another matter entirely. I would like you all to consider who should be deputy. We'll decide officially later, but start thinking about it now. Meeting dismissed!" Spark lowered herself down into her snow cave and closed her eyes.

(We will officially decide by voting, and there will be some requirements like how often you com on and such, so just start considering that now...wink, wink)

The Storm Hits, and Brings New Members!

Spark jumps to the High Stone, shivering with cold even through her thick coat of fur. "ThunderPack," she says, afyter howling for their attention. "The storm has begun!" And indeed, the snow was falling thickly now, already starting to accumulate on the ground in some places. "But first," she continued, "I would like to announce some new members. Ice and Amber have come from another pack called Lighteningpack, where the leader killed most of his packmates. Brambles, Moona, Luna and Night have also joined us! And Night brings a pup, Timber! Thank you for bringing new life to this pack, although you do so at a hard time." She looks down to Timber, shvering in the snow. "We will try to get him warmed up," she said, grimacing. "So, the preparations begin. I want all the freshkill pulled underneath the High Stone. You will all sleep here tonight. he Stone will be a great barrier keeping the wind off us from this side. When the snow gets high enough, we will dig tunnels for ourselvs. These caves will shelter us for who knows how long, so dig them well. Night, try not to let Timber touch the ground, because it is very cold. I'm sure you know this already, but keep him on top of your body in the cave you dig. When you get hungry, make your way to the freshkill pile and take something, but make sure to leave enough for the others. I don't want any adventurers either," she added, looking down at Puff, who was staring off into the woods with a curious expression on her face. "We don't need anyone to get lost in the blizzard." Just then the winds picked up, and Spark quickly jumped off the High Stone, yelling "Meeting dismissed!" as she went.

Winter Storm

Once again Spark jumps up to the Hgh Stone. A cool breeze ruffles her fur. She howls, calling her pack to her. "ThunderPack! I bring news that I must share with you all. Ember, my brother, is very knowledgable when it comes to the weather. He just informed me that there is a terrible blizzard on the way! It will strike in two days and will last for several. The snow will pile high, covering us. So we must prepare! I want the hunting parties to double. Mernen, you lead one party past the river, and Rain, lead one over by FiercePack's territory. Be careful not to cross the border, though. We will stock up on freshkill, so we will not starve in the snow. When it does hit, we will dig snow caves. Ember and I used to have to deal with blizzards all the time, and we know what to do. The caves will provide shelter from the winds. Now, get hunting! Meeting dismissed!"

New Members!

Spark lept up onto the High Stone, glowing with pride. She howled, and her pack gathered before her. "ThunderPack! I am proud to announce that we have some new members joining us today! Dusk, our Healer, has taken on an apprentice! River, know that Dusk is a fine Healer, and learn all you can from him. River's mother, Rain, has also joined us, and taken on a trainee of her own. Puff, learn what you can from this talented she-wolf. Raven, our other trainee, will be trained by Blaze. Teach her what you can. Hakurou, Sleet, Kisharu, and Mernen have joined our ranks as well. Soon they may have trainees of their own. This shows that ThunderPack is growing stronger everyday. So go out, start your training, hunt for the pack! Meeting dismissed!"

"Dusk, River, Rain, Puff, Raven, Hakurou, Sleet, Kisharu, Mernen!"

(PS-Willowfeather, Sleet's picture isn't working! Do you want to choose another one? I'll post him when I here back from you. Thanks!)

Meeting Fiercepack

Spark jumped up onto the High Stone. She had no need to howl to announce the meeting, her two pack members already stood below her. But they were a start. "I think it is time to properly introduce ourselves to the pack who lives on the other side of our borders," she began. "We should try to make a good impression so the we will be perceived as friends, not enemies. Ember, you shall come with me, and Dusk, I ask that you stay here in case any more dogs show up to join our ranks." She did not mention that she didn't want Dusk to see Blackrose, who was a member of FiercePack. That could lead to awkward conversations, and rivalries. "Let's go!" she said, and jumed down, leading Ember into the woods.

Main Camp

This is the main camp, where most of the action happens. The Top Dog will speak to the pack from the High Stone, a huge boulder jutting up from the ground.

Talk to the Top Dog

If you ever wish to talk to your leader, do so here. You will always be welcome, whether it's to talk about getting a trainee, or retiring to become a mother.

The Forest

This is our forest, where patrols watch over our territory, and hunting parties bring back game. Feel free to hunt for the pack or patrol our borders, and report back to the top dog if you see anything...unusual. This is a small stream forking off the main river that heads toward the rest clearing.

Training Hollow

Trainers and their trainees can come here to learn the ways of fighting, and not disturb their pckmates. The wood chip-covered ground provides a soft landing area for training.

Rest Clearing

We all sleep together in this clearing. It brushes up with the pond, so water is easily accessible. Mothers and cubs stay here as well, and will be well protected from any stray forest animals.
