Thunderpath

== Overview ==
The Thunderpath is a stretch of road that borders between Shadowclan and Thunderclan. 
It is described as being acrid and black. Monsters were often seen travelling the thunderpath, but they were removed after an update. As of now, there are no monsters on the road.
Monsters are the clan's term for cars.
== Description ==
The thunderpaths are sticky, oily, and often hot. There is a tunnel that sits underneath the path, and Shadowclan uses it to cross safely to get to gatherings, or to attack other clans. At least one road is crossed to get to the moonstone. There are two thunderpaths in the game- one neighbouring The Mountains and the Carrion Place. The other one runs between Shadowclan and Thunderclan, as well as Windclan's closest border to The Moonstone. 
Terms can be referenced from the thunderpath and used in roleplay, such as "As flat as a thunderpath rabbit", so don't be afraid to explore them.
== Guide ==
In roleplays, the thunderpath can improve and make the storyline exiting, if used in the correct ways! 
Some ways you can include the paths in your story are:
* Patrolling (hunting and border)
* First visit to the moonstone 
* First visit to a gathering (SC)
* An apprentice going on an adventure
* A warrior sneaking off to meet someone
* A cat killing off their enemy 
* A cat killing off an innocent cat 
* Accidental death whilst travelling
* Lost apprentices and kittens 
* Using the tunnel for shelter.
==== Patrolling ====
A leader or a deputy can make a patrol, and send cats off to mark their borders. During a patrol, you could do the stretch inside the thunderpath and use the chat to describe it. If it's your first time being near the thunderpath, you can ask what it is and get scared by the monsters.
==== Moonstone ====
On your first visit to the moonstone, for becoming a Leader, or a Medicine Cat and their apprentice, you will have to cross at least one thunderpath. You could roleplay being scared to cross, darting across the road in a panicky manner. Medicine Cats have crossed it many times, so make sure to listen to them for advice. 
==== Gathering ====
As a Shadowclan cat, you'll need to cross under the thunderpath to reach the gathering. You could use the chat to describe the smell, how it tastes, the vibrations and noise as you're walking underneath. If you're an apprentice and crossing under for the first time, you could hold back a bit and falter, or you could wait for your mentor and cross under with them.
==== Adventure ====
As an apprentice, you're training everyday and doing duties around camp, such as assisting the elders. You could ask your Mentor if you could go on an adventure with them! Use the chat to say that you've been hearing some weird noises and that you'd like to explore it! With permission, you could sneak off from training and explore it.
==== Sneaking off ====
As a warrior, you're duty is to the clan. Sometimes if you want to create a secret, sneaking off to meet with a friend in another clan is good. Arranging at each gathering when to meet, what times and where is a good place to start. You could be meeting your lover, an old friend, or even a sibling in another clan.
==== Killing off enemies ====
If your cat has enemies, or is being chased by rogues, use the thunderpath to your advantage. Battling by the thunderpath, you could easily throw one of them into the path, right Infront of a monster. 
==== Killing off innocent cats ====
If you're killing off innocent cats, ask them to meet by the edge of the thunderpath. Then, listen out for a monster. When you hear one, throw them into the path. You could take apprentices who have never seen it before, and make them sit in the path being distracted by something. You could get them to hunt a mouse that's on the path, distracting them from the monsters. With kits, you could just lay them on the Thunderpath and watch from the side.
