GHOST HUNTING
a haunting experience

Deep within the Oak Forest, one of the larger trees has a large gaping hole at ground-level in the middle of it. Inside the tree, there's a weird stone slab with some etchings in it. Those who have gotten closer to the tree have reported ghostly wailings and moanings. Everyone who has gotten closer to the tree have fled from the site. No one knows what's going on within this tree.

Is StarClan trying to contact ThunderClan?

Possible endings to get you started:
✰ It's a trick that older warriors play on the younger ones (bonus points if the whole thing is made up and it's just a ploy to jumpscare already tense warriors)
✰ The noises come from the little holes within the tree, so when it gets super windy, noises can be heard.
✰ It actually is StarClan, but the spirit is super shy and stutters/stumbles over their words so much so it sounds like wails and moans.

SAWMILL SHOWDOWN
please someone get rid of these loud things

Near the Treecut Place, weird noises have been heard, a recent patrol that came by reported they heard loud scratching and shrieking noises of small woodland creatures.  It's said that a new rogue group has taken up shop in the abandoned spots.  The patrol didn't go near the area, in fear of running into rapid rogues when they weren't prepared for them at all.

Is a new group of rogues trying to lay claim in ThunderClan territory?

Possible endings to get you started:
✰ The sawmill is as quiet as can be, there's no sign of anything living there.  So what was it that the patrol heard?
✰ A group of wounded loners are camping out in the sawmill.  They explain to the patrol that a group of rogues forced them out here and they ask for assistance on running the rogues out.
✰  There actually is a group of rogues there.  As soon as they see you and your patrol, they attack!

CURE ONE CURE ALL
NOT CLICKBAIT: panacea?!

A rumor has been traveling around camp that there's a panacea herb that can cure anything. Although it's a rare flower, it's been said to only grow in ShadowClan. There are no known "guardians" of the herb, but it's said to grow deep within the swamps. Apparently it "can only be found if someone has pure of heart" whatever that means.

Is the herb even real?

Possible endings to get you started:
✰ It's a trap; it's actually juniper berries that have been covered in other, multiple juices from berries. Vicious rogues have set this trap to surround exhausted warriors and kill them.
✰ The panacea doesn't exist, but there is a gorgeous flower in its place.
✰ It is a new type of herb, but its one use is helping infected wounds.

WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE
trash does as trash do

Dead pieces of prey have been found littering the edge of ShadowClan camp. Some have said that they have seen weird shadows moving in the Carrionplace. An apprentice said that they actually saw a haggard looking cat wandering around the Carrionplace.

Are the dead pieces of prey a warning from this creature stalking the Carrionplace?

Possible endings to get you started:
✰ The pieces of prey don't show any sign of physical wounds. In fact, according tot he Med Cat, they're fine. So then...what killed them?
✰ The cat that the apprentice saw actually wants to be friends with ShadowClan and has set those pieces of prey down as a peace offering.
✰ A large band of foxes have gluttonously killed and devoured most of the prey in ShadowClan. They leave those pieces around, as they cannot eat all of them.

HIDDEN TREASURE
all that sparkles is mine

In one of the rolling hills, there's said to be a small opening - a large warrior won't be able to fit through. It leads to a twisting tunnel. Only the bravest have ventured into the tunnel, but few have made it all the way through. It's said that the further you get into the tunnel, you can hear frantic scratching against the tight walls and disembodied gasps of pain. Though it's said to all be worth it; at the end of the tunnel, there's a large blueish rock that seems to self glow. Apparently the rock can grant you one wish.

Though...what's making all those noises?

Possible endings to get you started:
✰ The rock is bio-luminescent; the rock covers a rather large hole, where it's able to soak up light. It is warm to the touch.
✰ A frail warrior has been blinded by a fox and stumbled into the hole. They have been lost for a day and now, exhausted and dehydrated, they scrape their claws against the wall and wail out when they hear someone coming into the tunnel.
✰ Although the rock does not give you any wishes, it does appear to be a lucky charm.

LUCKY HARE
can't believe it's not a mortal piece of prey!

A queen started the story, stating that long, long time ago, when the clans were first founded, Wind happened across a hare, who said that if she let them go, he would be able to grant immunity to her clan.  It's said that the hare's fur was as bright as soon, with a bright glimmer that radiated off of them.  Patrols have reported that they've seen sightings of this particular hare, darting over the moors.

Could this be WindClan's answer to all their problems?

Possible endings to get you started:
✰ The hare turns out to be a normal piece of prey, although it has albinism.  Despite the fact that it cannot grant any abilities, it does feed multiple queens.
✰ The hare turns out to be a snow-white kit who ended up becoming lost on WindClan territory.  Nobody knows who they are and worry begins to seep into the Clan.  Who would go so far as to abandon this poor thing?
✰ The hare is actually a sign sent from StarClan, warning the Clan that they must be on their guard.  But from what?

MONSTER MASH
nessie?!

Rumor has it that RiverClan waters go much deeper than expected. Specifically, in one spot, near the Sunning Rocks. It's said that there a ravenous monster lurks, ready to pull in anyone who comes close to it. Its legs are long and will wrap around your paws. Everyone who has survived this encounter, has come up spluttering for air; even those strong swimmers have struggled with fighting back the monster.

If one cat isn't able to defeat it what about a whole patrol?

Possible endings to get you started:
✰ It's actually a huge growth of seaweed lurking at the body of the river. With how large its gotten, it's no surprise that some might think it's a ravenous monster.
✰ There isn't anything in the river; instead, there's a small underwater entrance to an underground cave that appears to be someone's hiding place. They don't smell like RiverClan.
✰ There is actually a monster that lives in the river. You should be lucky that you survived that encounter.

A QUICK DRINK
oh boy!! this'll fix all my problems!

A new lake was just discovered by one of the warriors. Deep within RiverClan territory, there it sits, surrounded by pine trees, where you can't hear a single thing when you get near the area. The warrior who found the lake came back, saying that they felt a lot stronger than they felt when they woke up at that morning. They say that the lake water has to have some kind of strengthening property and urges everyone to visit it, stating that this will be their way to defeat the other clans.

Is this how all of RiverClan's problems can be fixed?

Possible endings to get you started:
✰ The water from this certain lake tastes awful. It soon gives you a stomach bug and you're forced to recover in the Medicine Cat's den for at least a week.
✰ There's nothing there, where the warrior said it would be. Is this warrior lying?
✰ The water does seem to give you some kind of extra ability, though it comes at a cost.

NEW RULERS
local thugs are mean, more at 11.

Life was normal until a new band of loners appeared. They seem to be a ragtag group of youngsters, who think that they're invincible. However, no one has gotten a clear description of them; it varies from source to source. Rumor has it that they're stealing kittens and young cats to forge their own "clan," by any means necessary. Whatever that even means.

Are these loners kidnapping these young kits?

Possible endings to get you started:
✰ There are a new bunch of loners, however, they mostly keep to themselves. More so than usual... Could they be hiding from someone?
✰ The loners are a myth parents tell their kits to keep them in line. "If you don't behave they'll steal you away!"
✰ The rumors are true; this band of misfits were shunted from their clans. Infuriated they banded together to take down the clans, to show their strength.

WEIRDER THAN USUAL
the easily blamed

A new couple of twolegs just moved in and everything seems normal. Except...they seem to be taking a lot of interest in the loners and rogues. They themselves don't have any cats, yet they reek of cats. There has also been a huge surge of disappearance among those loners and rogues who are really suffering.

Could they possibly be the reason for what's going on?

Possible endings to get you started:
✰ They are actually vets, who have decided to help strays on the dl. They nurse these sick cats back to health, before releasing them back into the wild.
✰ The loners and rogues are actually dying off because of an unknown disease. Kittypets will definitely know what's going on, it's a new form of the stomach flu that twolegs usually get.
✰ The twolegs' yard is so messed up that they've started using pesticide, which the loners and rogues have been injesting.
