BURNING ACES WING N'ori of Bronze Meigth HP: 23/42 Status Effect: Fatigue Effect For the next 3 rolled turns your dragon will suffer from Fatigue Effect. Any XP earned during those turns is negated. On the plus side, any negative status effect (i.e. additional Fatigue Effect, Guilt, Bitten Tongue, etc.) is also negated, since your dragon is too tired to care. The only exception is if you get a status that cures Fatigue or your Wingleader/Wingsecond rolls a status cancelling roll.) XP: +6 to all base, +5 to distribute how I see fit Target Accuracy: 6 Flame Length: 6 General Stamina: 8 General Agility: 6 Between Accuracy: 6 Pain Resilience: 8 Instinct: 7 Luck: 6
A clump of Thread catches you on your leg. You quickly hop Between, easing the sting of the burn. It hurts, but you're going to fight through the pain. Healers can wait. +1 Pain Resilience
Thread stung, but a jump Between took care of it. A quick check on the other side deemed it nothing to worry about. You look fine, N'ori affirmed to his dragon.
The wind is strong and trying hard to buffet you. If brown or bronze you see one of your wingmates struggling against the wind. They're getting blown out of their empty airspace, and dangerously close to a patch of Thread! You are able to twist and accurately flame down the clump they were going to fly into, saving them from Threadscore! Quote a Wingmate that took Threadfall Damage and nullify it! You saved them from the pain! +1 Flame Length
Meigth seemed to have gotten another burst of energy in him, suddenly perking up a bit more. Or perhaps it was the sight of a Wingmate in danger that sent the bronze flying off to flame an offending clump of thread that had gotten much, much too close.
Ouch! You had successfully flamed Thread but the gust push the ash back into you as you fly! The hot ash cloud burns as you fly through it, but you're made of tougher stuff than that! The focus is Thread, not pain! [+2 Pain Resilience]
Another clump of Thread turned to ash. Another gust of wind blowing it into their faces. N'ori swiped at his face to keep it from sticking and thumped Meigth supportively as the bronze hissed with discomfort.
BURNING ACES WING Ichta of Blue Aurinkoth HP: 15/26 Status Effect: Fatigue Effect For the next 3 rolled turns your dragon will suffer from Fatigue Effect. Any XP earned during those turns is negated. On the plus side, any negative status effect (i.e. additional Fatigue Effect, Guilt, Bitten Tongue, etc.) is also negated, since your dragon is too tired to care.

You take a direct hit from Thread! The question is, where!? Roll a D4
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
Aurinkoth was too tired to have moved as nimbly as he may have under any other circumstances and the tangling of Thread over his foot and tail was met with a small cheep of pain before they blinked Between.
It was only upon landing again that the sad keening began, Ichta's heart twisting as her sunniest, happy boy began to sing a mourning song with the rest of the dragons.
BURNING ACES WING Ichta of Blue Aurinkoth HP: 15/26 Status Effect: Fatigue Effect For the next 3 rolled turns your dragon will suffer from Fatigue Effect. Any XP earned during those turns is negated. On the plus side, any negative status effect (i.e. additional Fatigue Effect, Guilt, Bitten Tongue, etc.) is also negated, since your dragon is too tired to care.

The thread is thick and coming down fast. Unlike the lower wings, you don't have to chase this Thread around -- it's just about everywhere you turn! This is what your dragon was made for, this is what you, as a rider, were meant to do. Burn down those Threads so they are no longer a threat to your wingmates and the people of Pern! Your dragon flames a patch ahead of them, clearing some airspace for your wingmates below. +1 Flame Length
Aurinkoth was, at least, doing his best to push through his exhaustion to still flame what Thread he could and Ichta sent a wave of pride through their bond. You did it! Keep it up!
BURNING ACES WING Ichta of Blue Aurinkoth HP: 7/26 Status Effect: Fatigue Effect For the next 3 rolled turns your dragon will suffer from Fatigue Effect. Any XP earned during those turns is negated. On the plus side, any negative status effect (i.e. additional Fatigue Effect, Guilt, Bitten Tongue, etc.) is also negated, since your dragon is too tired to care.

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! They also now suffer a Painful status for the next 3 turns. This will negate any XP gained, and cause double damage if the prompt includes damage (or has you roll for damage).
They'd barely jumped from one clump of Thread just to land in one that hadn't been there when Ichta had planned the jump, twisting up in both woman and dragon. She hissed with pain, taking a moment to clear her head before making Aurinkoth jump again.
This time, back to the Healers.

Ingonth flapped hard, hissing as he felt a tear in his other wing.
Stupid wind.
Now?
I said I'll let you know.

If a green or blue you find yourself struggling against the wind. The wind is powerful this high up, and you have to struggle to keep in your airspace. Unfortunately, a strong gust blows through, and you find yourself blown right into a clump of Thread! Moderate Damage -4 HP
Okay, dear, it's time.
Ingonth didn't object, but his displeasure was palpable.
Fine.
With a heavy draconic sigh, the pair disappeared from sight.

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.
Thankful for the moment's rest, Librath's head lifted sharply as she felt the loss of one of their own. Her keen joined the skies with the other dragons, the sorrow of losing a fighter felt deeply within her. They all knew the risks of flying and while no one wanted to die, Librath gave a quiet salute of respect to the brown and His. A'kir, for his part, remained emotionless on her back. He could feel her pain but he knew they had to focus if they didn't want to join them. They could mourn when the fall was through.

12. 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!
Trying to focus on the task at hand rather than her sadness, Librath swung her head to try to catch a passing clump of Thread. Unfortunately her flame failed to reach it and she let out a snarl of frustration as it fluttered down to the middle wing.

After chewing more firestone, Librath tracked another clump of Thread falling from above. This time her flame reached it and turned it to ash, just in time for the wind to change and blow it right back in her and A'kir's face. Both dragon and rider felt their skin burn with the heat from the remains of Thread, but they flew on despite the sting.

Moderate Damage -4 HP
That same gust of wind picked up, forcing Librath to forego flaming to focus on staying in position. Her wings were taunt and her muscles strained to keep them in place, but the wind blew harder for just long enough to push her directly into a clump of Thread. She bellowed and jumped Between to rid herself of the stuff, emerging again with bared teeth.

They also now suffer a Painful status for the next 3 turns. This will negate any XP gained, and cause double damage if the prompt includes damage (or has you roll for damage).
After returning from Between, A'kir and Librath had only a moment to realize the winds had brought a sheet of Thread to their destination a second before they flew into it. They both gave a shriek of pain and jumped Between again, this time with High Reaches in mind. They'd need to visit the healers immediately.
Tamami and blue Wuth First Wave - Hour 2 Round 1 HP: 15/30 Status: Roll 1/5 Target Accuracy: 6 Flame Length: 6 General Stamina: 9 General Agility: 6 Between Accuracy: 6 Pain Resilience: 8 Instinct: 6 Luck: 6
12. 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!
Just as Wuth went to flame down a clump of Thread, the pain of loss lanced through his hearts. His flame was cut short by the roar of agony that echoed through him and the dragons around him, Tamami feeling his pain upon his back.
"Focus!" she snapped, grabbing the edge of her harness. "Later!" Emotions could ruin a fight and her blue, while fierce, wore his hearts on his sleeve. She grappled with his desire to start flaming everything in sight, trying to keep him on track.
