It really wasn't going their way this fall. Al'ndru didn't know if it was the weather or the fact that Alucarth just couldn't seem to focus and was more interested in trying to one up the large browns. Sharding focus Alucarth! The man's yells through their bond were drowned out as ANOTHER gusts of wind pushed them off course. Once more they connected with Thread, this time Al'ndru's lower left leg. Alucarth's side was hit.

Once more the two disappared between and returned with Al'ndru cursing once more under his breath as they did. Will you get your sharding head out of your arse and focus! You'll get us both killed if you keep worrying about what those shaffing large browns are doing!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Round 1

[1] Negated by SilverLutz saveOh no, look out! A small clump of thread broke through the ranks, and has managed to hit your and your dragon. It is an ugly tangle, and though you blink between, it's going to hurt! [Moderate Damage -5 HP. You are now flying with a Painful status effect. This will negate your next immediate rolls XP and double damage if the roll includes set damage (or has you roll for damage).
[2] Diving after a small clump, a gust of wind suddenly pushes the Thread back into you and your dragon! Roll a D4 to see if you successfully Between (or dodge) in time! 1. Failure! Your dragon's face or neck is hit with Thread! Moderate -5 HP
[3] A strong gust of wind suddenly pushes you off course and right into a sliver of Thread! If you're a bronze or brown, you or your dragon take a scathing hit, unable to get out of the way. [Minor Damage -3 HP]

It was agony, and terror, and blood, and ichor, and the cold darkness of between brought both relief and a greater press of fear, but three breaths later they were back - three ragged, gasping, screaming breaths. The clump that they had meant to burn, only for their flamethrower to fail, had blown right into them. Right into Sylfie. Even with it frozen and shed away, the pain remained, the panic, and she flailed at invisible strands she imagined still clung to her, eating away-

Mine, Mine, it is gone, Hesperith tried to assure her through her own pain, for she had not come out unscathed either, but not only was her rider's fear contagious, sharp-toothed doubt gnawed at her. What if it was not all gone? It was a risk they couldn't afford to take! Fianth, it- It is bad, I fear. I must take Mine back to the Weyr!

And with that, she wasted no more time flashing back to High Reaches, to make a heavy, graceless landing, roaring a desperate demand for help for her rider, sobbing and shaking and incoherent from the combination of pain and fear.

-Flying First Wave-

The pair rose with the rest of their wing, Kyt falling quiet again as she focused on their timing. They blinked between with the others and emerged into a wind that nearly threw them out of formation. Rath hissed in anger at the force of nature before quickly angling her wings a bit to prevent herself from being pushed further. In the meantime Kyt kept an eye on their surroundings, she could trust Rath with correcting their positioning. Their bit of sky was thankfully free of the silver menace so she turned her attention to the rest of her wing for a moment. She hissed to herself as she turned back in time to see A'dras blink between followed by Gareth's message to the wing. She pushed her fear for her Wingleader and his to the back of her mind for the moment and refocused on her task. They will be fine Kytmine. Focus! The young woman nodded. Sorry Rath. It won't happen again.

[1] 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

H'win tensed at Gareth's announcement, turning the pair directly into another oncoming wall of thread. They popped Between, and when they came back the thread was too far to flame.

I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

Do not dwell on it, Mine. I'm flying higher. Suuth was uncharacteristically terse, focused on the nearest clump.

3. You're able to Between above the sheet, but it's too far to actually flame. Your wingmates below are going to have to take care of it!

Another tangle of Thread fell his way, but Kindeth was ready. With another belch of flame, the bronze dragon watched with satisfaction as the enemy turned to harmless ash.

It was a close save but the green seemed as if she would do fine as Phaeth and D’mos turned their attention back to defeating off the silvery clumps as they continued to fill the sky. There was more now bundling around as the wind continued to push them around, flames dancing in the air destroying everything insight.

With both dragon and rider feeling ever so confident, the bronze dragon swerved out of the way to avoid a chunk of Thread he could not flame. Ah, but with how heavy the bronze was, and how strong the winds were blowing, the bronze avoided one clump of thread....only to fly head-first into another shape.

With a loud, panicked screech, the scream was cut off, and the Trespassers bronze did not return......

- - - -

Back at the Weyr, the bronze dragon appeared high above the Bowl, hissing and writhing. His descent was less than graceful, and the dragon absolutely threw his face into the nearest tub of water.

The agony was severe, and S'del could hardly see through the tears and the secondary pain. One hand was up over his face, while the other struggled frantically to get out of his straps. "Kindeth! Kindeth, let me see it -- My face, my face! -- let me see!" The man practically fell off his dragon, tossing off his helmet, and goggles, running over to his dragon's neck -- where the bronze was turning the once clear water green with ichor.

"Kindeth, I know it hurts -- It hurts, it hurts! Kindeth, please." He scrabbled at his bronze's neck, as if he could pull the bronze's head from the waters.

- - - If there are any PC dragon healers around... Kindeth may have a face problem. Even though he won't lose his eye, it's hurting bad, and will leave his face nice and a bit ugly.

Since he's hanging out somewhere and might notice this...

Let's see.... how bad off are you, Kindeth?

They both felt the wind shifting them out of line with their wing. Hinburath! The brown rumbled acknowledgement of the situation. He beat his wings hard to overcome the pull of the winds. In a few moments they were back into their correct position. I don't think anyone noticed mine. Good job. Hinburath opened his mouth to flame another piece of Thread.


Round 1: Day 1 Rolls

show spoilerhide spoiler

1. 9- Your dragon notices a sudden writhing stream of silver thread out of the corner of his or her eye. If a white, green, or blue, with surprising grace, they turn on a wingtip and manage to flame it to ash. You successfully flame it down. [+2 Target Accuracy] If a brown or bronze, you find yourself unable to dodge, and take a hit! [Minor Damage if Bronze - 1 HP // Moderate Damage if Brown - 3 HP]
2. 20- Something doesn't feel right. You wind up glancing over your shoulder just in time to see a small, silver strand drifting dangerously close to your dragon. Thankfully, your dragon shares your thoughts, and is able to blink Between and higher above their position, missing the strand, and saving yourself from a score. [+1 Instinct]
3. 13- Trying valiantly to catch some thread, your dragon flames a bit sooner than you would have preferred. Surprisingly enough, the flame is long, hot, and sustained longer than usual. Your dragon manages to flame the clump and return to their position in their wing. [+1 Flame Length]
4. 11- You check in on your dragon to ensure they're doing all right. Thankfully, your dragon responds that they're feeling fine. All that training and practicing is coming full circle, as your dragon isn't feeling particularly fatigued. If they are suffering from a Fatigue Effect, they get a burst of renewed energy and the status is removed. [+1 Stamina] If your dragon isn't suffering, you are allowed to quote a fellow wingmate (must be in your same wing) who is suffering the effect! Your dragon trumpets at them encouragingly, making them feel better, and giving them a renewed burst of energy and effort. Remove Fatigue Effect from one wingmate! - USED
5. 14- Your dragon is starting to feel tired. This particular fight is wearing them down. A strong gust of winds tries to throw them out of their position. Roll a D4 to see what happens!
D4 Roll! 2- Your dragon begins to be blown out of position, but fights it by giving a few powerful flaps of their wings. There. No one noticed anything out of place.

They continued to maneuver in and out doing their best to avoid being tossed by the shifting of the gusty wind and the dense clumps of thread threatened to eat away at the riders. So far it had been mostly dodging in and out with flames rolling along as Phaeth seemed to be dealing with the threadscore he had received from earlier rather well.

Another strong gust hit along their side tilting the bronze straight into a clump of silvery mass, it burned as D’mos bite down resisting the urge to scream out in pain. Immediately Phaeth moved in between the pain easing some but still thrumming with anger.

< Mine are you ok? > Phaeth took another breath of fire to a clump as they weaved through the air.

”I’ll be fine don’t worry about me.”
