There was a large patch of silvery mass up ahead and D’mos shook his head as they started to grew closer, something was wrong and glancing at the green rider he signaled to hold back. Luckily they listened to him and a gust of wind shoved the thread into the place they would have been just a few minutes ago. They were lucky as they blew down the thread with flames.

Returning from Between again, I'llian spotted another tangle of Thread. Xith surged toward it, belching in his typical short, precise way. Unfortunately his flame was too short and the Thread fell away. Shards! I'llian hoped nobody saw. He reached into the firestone bag and offered it to Xith, who chewed it eagerly. Next time they'd get it!
Round 4: 2: You try to flame down some Thread, but your flame comes up short. Whoops! Hopefully your Wingleader didn't see that. Nothing to be done about it now except eat some more firestone, and try to catch the next clump!
HARBINGERS WING I'llian of blue Xith HP: 7/25 Status Effect:Fatigue Effect For the next 3 rolled turns.

High Altitude
The effort of fighting Thread was beginning to wear on Xith. A gust of wind blew him out of formation, but he was too exhausted to struggle his way back. Come on, Xith! I'llian urged, to no avail. He looked around. This was no place to run out of steam!
Round 4: 3: Your dragon is blown completely out of formation, and is too tired to stop it. Fellow wingriders notice, and trumpet warning, but your dragon is just too tired to care. The wind is too much! Moderate Damage -5HP
Phaeth had his eye on a certain clump of silvery mass and let out a large breath of flame only to miss it entirely. D’mos rolled his eyes as the dragon shrugged it off.
HARBINGERS WING I'llian of blue Xith HP: 7/25 Status Effect:Fatigue Effect For the next 2 rolled turns. Any XP earned during those turns is negated XP: (+6 to base stats) (+5 to distribute as I see fit) Target Accuracy: +7 Flame Length: +6 +1 General Stamina: +6 +2 General Agility: +8 Between Accuracy: +6 Pain Resilience: +7 +2 Instinct: +7 Luck: +6
High Altitude
Thankfully, no Thread came near Xith and I'llian, and the pair took a blissful moment to catch their breath and rest. This was grueling! How did the riders of old, whose dragons were smaller and less developed, survive?
Round 4: 4: Nothing to flame quite yet, which is almost a miracle in this sort of Threadfall. Still, you're able to relax a moment, look around, and take note of your airspace. All's well... for now.

High Altitude
They blinked Between as Xith was too tired to dodge the clump of Thread that appeared in front of them. Jumping back, Xith and I'llian found to their horror that they were right in the middle of a huge swath of the shimmering menace! Xith screamed, and so did I'llian, before they both passed out from the pain and fell from the sky.
A Queen Is Needed! Help Catch Me!
Round 4: 5: Blasted all! As you jump Between to avoid a clump of Thread, the winds change, and when you appear from the icey depths, it's right into a major sheet of Thread! Heavy Damage: -8 HP!

Nadry spoke the truth. It very well could have been one of theirs, just as much as anybody else. "It was before. It can be again," Ichta said quietly. "But we are here - and we all carry each other. We all have meaning and worth - and are important for it." It wasn't going to be easy even if the lost rider hadn't been someone they knew personally. They would all feel it - and it had all been meaningful.
Aurinkoth carefully shifted to lay his head on top of Menankith's with a low thrum. How did you fare, brother? Does your body ache as mine does?

The Final Stretch: Round 4, Day 2 Begins!
First Wave Still resting! Second Wave Keep on fighting! We're in the last leg of it now!
Candidates will have been assigned duties and tasks in the Weyrbowl, as well as in the Lower Caverns and the Infirmary. It's imperative they stay out from being underfoot of the weyrhealers and riders!
Rainstorm Wing aka The Tea Clutch. You're too little and too young to be assigned tasks and duties. Chances are, you're in the Barracks learning how to keep your dragon calm during high stress times of emotion. Your babies are still sensitive and likely easily distressed, so I can't imagine they are going to want them underfoot in the Weyrbowl. It's possible their morning or afternoon chores are going to be helping in the kitchens and areas that keep them away from the worst of the trauma and chaos.
- - - -
Current Hour: 1430
Current Location: Flying west-south-west of Balen Hold and the forests that surround it. Any Thread that gets through is a direct threat to the hold and their way of life! They will also reach some of the beach front and small holds that have set up near the coast. Riders will have to fly so far out over the waters before returning to the Weyr, to protect any docksides and tethered ships.
Remember, a green rider of Burning Aces Wing has perished!
Even if you finish your rolls early, please do not have your rider return to the Weyr. It will be assumed that everyone finishes together, and they return to the Weyr at D'mon's signal near the end. Cherie and I will wrap this up tomorrow around Monday May 7 @ 8:00pm ET (give or take).
Additionally, we might still do some staff rolls, so your riders could still be eligible for injury (or healing) even if you complete rolling.
TRESPASSERS WING Ahlalei of Brown Kalikath HP: 41-7= 34 Status Effect: Guilt 3/3 XP: Target Accuracy: +6 (+1 XP) Flame Length: +7 (+5 XP) General Stamina: +6 (+2 XP) General Agility: +7 Between Accuracy: +6 (+4 XP) Pain Resilience: +7 (+1 XP) Instinct: +7 (+2 XP) Luck: +7 (+4 XP)
Things had taken a turn for the worse for the pair. They were beginning to understand why the fall was considered a bad one. While they hadn't been hurt, they had hurt others through their negligence.
Now their moping caused them to take a direct hit from Thread. This moping isn't helping either of us. Ahlalei exclaimed. We have to get our head back in it.
Round 4 roll 6: You take a direct hit from Thread! The question is, where!? Roll a D4 1. This tangles up on your dragon's tail and foot. You immediately blink Between, with the injury hurting your dragon, but not enough to slow you down. Light Damage - 2 HP (additional -5 for Guilt)
The pair was silent as they continued to flame, no longer wanting to think or talk. The loss of their wingmate echoed hard, and Oyath let her frustration talk in the manner of blasting Thread from the sky with will-placed belches of flame.
Round 3, Part 1:
roll 1: You're so focused on flaming Thread that you miss a clump of thread blows up on the wind -- beneath you! If a green, or blue, you manage to jump Between ahead of it. Thankfully, your smaller size means you're able to avoid getting harmed! [+1 Between Accuracy] roll 2: A larger clump of Thread falls down hard and fast. Thankfully, your dragon is on top of it, and manages to hit the target with a large belch of flame just as it passes. [+1 Target Accuracy] roll 3: Flaming down Thread, you find yourself getting blown right into the cloud of ash! It stings and burns, but you're pretty sure no Thread was alive in the cloud. [If a green, or blue take Moderate Damage -5HP but gain +2 Pain Resistance.] roll 4: As you're fighting Thread, you see your nearby wingmate in danger. You immediately blink between, falling out of formation, but hoping to save them! Roll a D4. - 2. Regardless of color, you appear close by, and flame the clump of thread successfully! [+1 Between Accuracy] roll 5: This is bad. Very bad. One of your wingmates appears out of Between flaming, but instead of catching a nearby target, they catch you instead. Your dragon roars in pain, blinking hastily Between! Just how bad is the damage? Roll a D4! - 1. It's bad. Very bad. In fact, coming back into the fray, your realize your dragon slips unconscious from the pain and falls from place! Post this to ensure a queen catches you! NEGATED VIA Orodreth! THANK YOU!!
Round 3, Part 2:
roll 1: A patch falls down ahead. You dive down, flaming as you go, and both rider and dragon are pleased to watch it turn into harmless ash. This is how it gets done! roll 2: You appear from Between and find the space you were hoping would be clear now has a large sheet of Thread being guested towards it. You've only a moment to decide where to go, and both you and your dragon pick a spot and hop Between in an attempt to avoid Thread. Roll a D4 and take whatever damage or XP you're given! - 1: You critically fail! You either appear between directly in the clump of Thread and take Major Damage for -8 HP =or= you could wind up getting lost Between, and die, having not properly visualized where to jump. Death -- optional. roll 3: Wheeling, flaming, catching thermals, fighting wind.... Threadfall is nothing if not exhausting. Greens, and blues find themselves panting with exhaustion. This is more tiring than they thought. Trying to come up from a dive, they struggle on wing and wind up getting blown right into some thread. Ouch! [+1 Stamina, Moderate Damage -4 HP ] roll 4: The healer looks at your wound and gives a shake of their head. The prognosis doesn't look good, but they're determined to patch you up as best they can! Return Request Denied! Regain +5 HP but re-roll from the Healers Grid! You still haven't been given clearance to return! roll 5: The healers patch you and/or your dragon back with relative ease. They lather you in redwort, and actually make quick work of the wounds on hand. You May Return to Your Wing! If White return with +8 HP! If Green return with +12 HP total! If Blue return with +15 HP total! If Brown return with +18 HP total! If bronze return with +24 HP total! If Gold return with +28 HP total! Status Effect Removed!
Round 4, Part 1:
roll 1: Your dragon spots a few clumps of thread being blown about in front of them. If white, green, or blue, they manage to catch a pocket of air and surge forward, flaming down two of the three clumps, before dropping hard and getting the third. No thread's slipping through on your watch! [+3 Target Accuracy!] roll 2: Are you feeling lucky? Well you should! Free reply! Respond to this post with any action pertaining to Threadfall, and gain a little luck. [+1 Luck] roll 3: A small clump of Thread has fallen through! You successfully flame it down. [+1 Target Accuracy] roll 4: Your dragon flames a small strand of thread, but unfortunately, a gust of wind blows the ash back into you. Your dragon hisses in pain, and if your face isn't protected, you might get a burn yourself! Thankfully, the burn isn't severe, and your dragon at least can carry on. [+1 Pain Resilience // -2 HP] roll 5: You appear from Between only to find yourself in the perfect spot to catch a sliver of Thread. You successfully flame it down easily. [+1 Target Accuracy]
Round 4, Part 1: roll 1: Are you feeling lucky? Well you should! Free reply! Respond to this post with any action pertaining to Threadfall, and gain a little luck. [+1 Luck]
TRESPASSERS WING Ahlalei of Brown Kalikath HP: 41-7= 34 Status Effect: None XP: Target Accuracy: +6 (+1 XP) Flame Length: +7 (+5 XP) General Stamina: +6 (+2 XP) General Agility: +7 Between Accuracy: +6 (+4 XP) Pain Resilience: +7 (+1 XP) Instinct: +7 (+2 XP) Luck: +7 (+4 XP)
We can do this. Just a little longer. Kalikath went to flame some thread and the flame wasn't long enough. Clearly some other things need to be longer too. There was a snort in the back of her head.
Round 4, roll 7: You try to flame down some Thread, but your flame comes up short. Whoops! Hopefully your Wingleader didn't see that. Nothing to be done about it now except eat some more firestone, and try to catch the next clump!
