Is it new-leaf yet? As the cold continues to permeate across the island, the clans and tribe settle into one of the worst leaf-bares in seasons. Likewise, we're sure the rest of us could do without the cold ourselves, right? This month we have a slew of site updates, a new art contest, OTM winners and nominations, and our usual plot updates, so make sure to check out the February Announcements! Additionally, we have a few new patrols and a game-plan for our patrols from September, October, and December, so make sure to check those out as well!
The Apostles is a warrior cats roleplay based in northern Wisconsin. On Lake Superior, the wild cats have made the Apostle Islands their home. It is on these islands - Rocky Island and South Twin Island - that the clan and tribe cats have lived in a peace and harmony that ebbs and flows with the tide.
But as the tides turn, so does the truce that binds them to one another; and as the water raises, a darkness follows, an evil that will end in bloodshed and violence.
RUh-rOH! If you're character has interacted with Mousesong, Rockjaw, Eggpelt, or Sorrelfeather or if they have visited the tribe, they have been exposed to the sickness that once ravaged the tribe. Clan cats who have not interacted with these cats have also been exposed. However, their chances to catch the tribe sickness is much lower.
Like last time, members will be asked to roll their fate to determine if their character has caught the sickness or not. Members are not required to roll their fate if they do not want to. Not all characters need to be sick. This is optional. However, if members wish to use this as an opportunity to kill one of their characters, please go ahead.
Signs of the sickness have been detected in each clan and tribe. The sickness had returned with the resurgence of cold weather and cats crowding together at the Gathering after subsequent tribe visits. However, not all variations and intensities have been seen in each clan and tribe. The sickness your character catches depends on the clan/tribe they're in and if they have been exposed to someone with a confirmed case. So far the disease has not been identified due to its similarity to the common cold and mild upper-respiratory infections. However, as symptoms increase and become worse, the situation becomes more dire.
The Disease
The disease is commonly known to the clan cats as Greencough, and it has several variations and intensities. Unlike the tribe,
Stage 2:Greencough Symptoms: fever and chills, sore throat, runny nose and eyes, coughing, severe chest pains, and fatigue
Stage 3:Yellowcough Symptoms: high fever and chills, sore throat, runny nose and eyes, coughing, severe chest pains, delirium, loss of appetite, difficulty breathing, and fatigue
Stage 4:Redcough Symptoms: high fever and chills, sore throat, runny nose and eyes, severe chest pains, delirium, loss of appetite, difficulty breathing, fatigue, and coughing up blood
OOC -- Disease Determination
Members can determine if their clan cat has contracted the sickness in one of two ways.
The first option is simple. Members can decide whether they want their character to be sick or not. This is completely up to the member. If a member chooses to make their cat sick or not - they can also choose the severity of the disease as well. *This also depends on the clan/tribe their character is in.
Note:Redcoughand Total Immunityare reserved for critical failure/success or with staff permission.
The second option allows fate to decide. Members can use diceto determine if their character will catch the disease. If members use dice, they must accept the outcome. Members are not allowed to re-roll the dice for a more favorable roll.
Members can use a combination of choice and dice as well. For example, if the member wants their cat to be sick, but is unsure of the severity, then they can use the dice to determine how sick their tribe cat will be.
OOC - The Dice Roll
Similar to how dice rolls function in a battle or hunt, the disease roll will be based on a 1d20 roll with modifiers. Refer to this thread for dice roll rules and examples.
As a reminder:
Status
Modifier
Under 6 moons (kits)
-3
Over 100 moons (elder)
-2
Cats with a major injury/illness
-2
6 - 9 moons (young apprentices)
-1
Cats with a minor injury/illness
-1
10 - 12 moons (apprentices)
0
12 - 24 moons (young warriors)
+1
24 - 49 moons (warriors)
+2
50 - 99 moons (senior warriors)
+3
Additionally, each clan and tribe will have different modifiers due to their different circumstances. Thistleclan will be the most disadvantaged due to the recent, loss of herbs and resources, and their recent trek to the Tribe. Redwoodclan will suffer the worst next due to their frequent visits to the tribe and low stash of lungwort.
Next, the tribe will fair somewhere in the middle. As the source of the outbreak, they will do poorly at first, but get it better under control due to their experience with the disease the first time and their now substantial stock of lungwort and catmint. Lastly, Lichenclan will hardly be affected due to their abundant supply of lungwort and their lack of interaction with the tribe.
Clan/tribe
Modifier
Thistleclan
-3
Redwoodclan
-2
Tribe
-1
Lichenclan
+1
Lastly, if your character has visited the tribe or interacted with Mousesong, Rockjaw, Eggpelt, or Sorrelfeather from September 1, 2020 onward, you will need to add an additional -2 to your roll.
If a member wants their cat's illness to be entirely up to fate, then it will be based on this range.
Confirmed critical failure (1):Your cat has caught Redcough
Roll 1-5:Your cat has caught Yellowcough
Roll 6-10:Your cat has caught Greencough
Roll 11-15:Your cat has caught Whitecough
Roll 16-20:Your cat is uninfected
Confirmed critical success (20):Your cat is immune to the sickness
COMBINED METHOD
If a member wants their tribe cat to be sick, but wants fate to decide the severity, then it will be based on this range:
Confirmed critical failure (1):Your cat has caught Redcough
Roll 1-7:Your cat has caught Yellowcough
Roll 8-15: Your cat has caught Greencough
Roll 15-20:Your cat has caught Whitecough
Confirmed critical success (20):Your cat has minor Whitecough
