( Frostpaw seems to have gone a tad bit inactive so there is a good good chance she will not show up. It is okay to roleplay without her for the time being and if she shows up, she can find a way to work her way in as a late addition I guess ^^')
OUTDOOR CONDITIONS: Clear Skies, Cold Temperature, Icy, Mouse-length of snow on the ground from the night before
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Flamepath let out a shiver as he exited the leader's den where he had been confirming the mornings patrols with Cloverstar. It was just barely sunrise , the sky was clear of clouds and beginning to turn a light blue at the horizon line. The deputy let out a shivering breath and it puffed into a white cloud as it escaped his mouth. A few cats had begun to wake up and stir. Flamepath made his way to the center of camp and glanced around before coming up to a few cats emerging from their dens. He trotted through the snow up to Spruceclaw and Windswirl . "Hello Windswirl....Spruceclaw hello and good morning to you as well!"
The deputy let out a small smile and flicked his ear as he looked at the entrance of camp. "I was wondering if you two wouldn't mind going out on a patrol to help me with a little something. One of the smaller waterfalls has frozen over on the rocks and well.... one of our main paths down to the Treeclan boarder is way too icy and dangerous for my tastes... I would hate for an elder or unexpecting cat to slip and fall..."
I know for certain that down at the base of the path is a fallen tree. It might be a bit of a hassle.... But I would like you to prop the tree up along the path so cats can walk on it instead of the icy rocks. It isn't too big of a tree so with the slippery snow and ice around anyways, it shouldn't be too heavy to push. You two can figure out how to go about it once you get there. So...." Flamepath shuffled his paws for a moment before requesting more from the two warriors, "Windswirl if you could lead a patrol down there.....Spruceclaw you joining along.... that would be great!" He said with a nervous smile. He hoped he wasn't asking too much so early, it would probably take them till Sunhigh....but that ice wasn't melting anytime soon at that worried the deputy deeply.
"I will go find an apprentice to join you, Frostpaw seems to be up, but you are free to take off whenever. They will catch up with you two I am sure!" he chirped. "Be safe you two and thank you so much!" he said waving his tail in farewell as he trotted off in the snow , off to find Frostpaw.

"Yes flamepath, well get right to it."" He mewed dipping his head to the deputy. Spruceclaw padded toward the entrance and waited for the patrol leader windswirl. while he waited he wondered how they would accomplish this task. spruceclaw was also excited to be on patrol with his old friend frostpaw.

Windswirl was up and a few moments after she and Spruceclaw was greeted by Flamepath and listened to his task he had for them. By the time he was done, she understood,"I understand." She responded a second before he turned to leave and met up with Spruceclaw as he started to head out.
"Morning Spruceclaw." She greeting, well thinking of the assignment at hand, wow, the waterfall must of just frozen the night before.
What can you expect from winter.

"I'm well." She replied with a smile, her paws already getting chilled by the snow on the ground as they went down a slope to the river,"Long day, but we can do it- I wonder if my apprentice knows Frostpaw.." She wondered, as it was slippery going down the slope, all trees just looked so bare now, she bet a blizzard would soon approach sometime.
Close enough, they were almost at the waterfall,"Oh, there it is." She said, you could see ice was formed all over the waterfall, what looked like a huge ice culpture and the snowy Rockclan cliff where the waterfall was.
Now at the frozen pond-like shore line, the rocks were frozen over.
"There's the tree, Flamepath mentioned." She glanced to Spruceclaw.

"Ok so i think we can slide it over the frozen ground. however if we do well have to find away to get one of the ends to the other bank. without falling through the ice." He mewed taking a long look at their surroundings. "What do you think?" He asked looking at windswirl.

"Well, I guess first is to see if the ice can hold up us and a dead tree.." Windswirl replied,"But let's get whats left the tree has in a ground." Making it to the tree, she was talking about the roots, since it was in the ground. She grabbed a branch and began pulling.
Hoping Spruceclaw would help.

Spruceclaw folowed her to the tree and clamped his jaws around a branch and began firmly tugging on his root. as soon as one came up he'd move to the next. he used clawing at the dirt to get the roots free.

The tree slowly began getting lighter, less of a struggle thanks to Spruceclaw and finally came loose. With one last pull, it moved a few inches ahead easily.
"Awesome Spruceclaw. Now moving it to the ice." As she as she pulled it there. Looking at the frozen ground, she went on it, it seemed to sustain her weight and not crack as she took few more steps.
"Were good!" She called to him for him to make his move.

As she pulled he pushed the fallen tree. as she stepped onto the ice he took a couple paces towards her. then at her words he nodded reassured. "Okay, now what?" he asked waiting fir her to tell him the rest of her plan.

She grabbed the branch and helped pull it more onto the ice, yanked it beside the path Flamepath mentioned. It was very slippery, where she nearly fell. The ice thankfuly didn't crack as expected. Glancing at the ice than at Spruceclaw. Spruceclaw was right, that tree wouldn't be enough to cross. that tree would only take up a certain area of space,"Well.. one tree will create a sturdier way while walking through on the ice but, there's still a lot of ice where everyone can easily slip."
"One more tree added won't hurt." She glanced to Spruceclaw,"Any thoughts?"

"We could either use one more tree or or find the place where the river is very narrow." he mewed looking at her expectantly.

''Ready to get one more tree down?'' Windswirl said with a smile, and began toward what looked like to be a weaken slanted tree, and started putting some force against the ice that surrounded it.

Spruceclaw nodded and padded after her. he began scraping at the snow. spruceclaw pulled large chunks of snow free from the base.

The ice broke,and from the touch, the ground was a little more loose because of the snow too. she could easily get the roots out with the claws and break them off. She went kind of around the thick trunk while Spruceclaw did his side and any other ideas he had in mind.
"Purrfect." She said happily, as they, this task was near complete..
