This is such a mess! Thread is everywhere. The High Altitude Wing is always in the thick of it, and today is no exception.
If you are a bronze, brown, or blue 30' or larger you find yourself getting hit by the wildly blown Thread! Moderate Damage: -6 HP!
Just when he was feeling smug, Slidrianth let out a shriek of pain as Thread tangled around his wing. D'zrak quickly visualized a spot Between, reassuring his dragon that he was fine. Slidrianth was a bit shaken up, but he could keep fighting. With his rider's confidence... well, the bronze dragon didn't mind leaning heavily on it for support.
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 bit into his leg now, and again, D'zrak was a rock-steady presence in his mind. I know it hurts. I know it does. He could feel it himself--the phantom burn that seared through skin. Slidrianth mentally clung to his rider even as D'zrak directed them Between. But you're doing amazing. You're a fighter, Sli, even if you're scared. You've got this.
Slidrianth said nothing, but... he found himself heartened. Yes, it hurt--but was he not of Eveleth's bloodline? He would continue to fight, despite the pain!
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
Slidrianth flamed, cutting a swathe through the Thread raining down. He was a bronze dragon--the best of the best! D'zrak urged him on, wanting to continue to feed into that confidence.

This time C'mric caught a blot of Thread with the other thigh. He was bound to be limping for a few long days, but a hop Between and back meant he would survive.

With thread falling hot and fast, Y’qua was determined to stay alert and attentive -- he had V’gar to go home to, and some little nugget in him was determined to sear away more so his beloved would be safer. Not that it worked that way, but. Heimdath’s wings snapped harder, buoyed by determination and love, and wheeled around. She belched a hot line of fire, sending clumps to harmless crisps.

The wind is strong and trying hard to buffet you.
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
Thin as she was, without much meat or mass to the tiny, thin green, the wind had little trouble buffeting her around. It sent her spinning, as Y’qua was forced to hold on tight while Heimdath bugled and tried to right herself -- quickly turning into a panicked squeal as a tangle manages to get itself wrapped around her foreleg something vicious, traveling up her leg and biting in hard. Her rider’s coordinates have them snapping between quickly, though as they reemerge, she held the injured leg a bit closer.

Her leg aching something fierce, Heimdath was determined to not get thrown about with the wind once more. So as the wind kicked up, she dove, muscles straining to keep ahead of it -- with pleasant results this time.

Her muscles and and burned, and her stamina was rapidly draining towards the end of the first wave. They could do it, could last just a bit longer. Her lungs burned, her wings ached fiercely -- but she was determined to finish out her duties.

As you fly, you find that you're getting into a heavier patch of Thread ahead. You've got a bad feeling about this.... You warn one of your wingmates to let a patch go! Thankfully, they listen, and sure enough, the wind changes! It would have blown the pair right into the patch. As it stands, the wind blows the Thread back, and your wingmate are able to flame it down without injury. [+2 Instinct]
Trembling though she was, watching the large patch of thread fall was daunting in and of itself, but calling out to her neighboring wingmate, something had seemed off. But there’s a bit of a pleased hum as her call had been correct, and her wingmate had been able to sear it down with no injury.

G'rey could tell that Karhath had mostly recovered from his last bout of fatigue. He doubted he would truly be over it until he had a chance to land for a brief rest, but he seemed to be picking up some of his speed again. But there was a shift in the muscle of his shoulder that had his eyes narrowing, something akin to suspicion. It felt like Karhath was straining himself overmuch fighting the latest gust of wind, and he was beginning to grow concerned they might not be able to see the hour out if this continued much longer.
Karhath. What's your status?
Just a bit of a pull in my wing. If I feel it again, I will alert you.
G'rey supposed that was fair enough. Once could have just been a bad angle fighting against that wind. But a second time implied muscle that was being overworked and would need tended to. And he trusted Karhath to alert him if he absolutely couldn't go one without a respite of some kind, however brief it might have been.

The wind continued to be as merciless as it had earlier, and again G'rey felt Karhath's muscle straining. For a moment, he staggered in the air. He knew His did not have the same raw bulk or power as other browns, but even for what he knew him to be capable of, Karhath seemed to be struggling. Eventually the winds died down, and he could tell his partner was considering something, weighing his options heavily in his mind. This Threadfall had not been easy on them as a pair, and Karhath's mottled hide was a testament to that. But had he reached his limit?
I felt it again. We should land.
G'rey couldn't have even hoped to hide his relief from Karhath. His had been honest with him, and was not going to try to push through it. As much as it rankled him to have to return to the Weyr this early in the fall, he vastly preferred it to risking falling from the skies due to a wing injury they hadn't seen to.
Alright. Let Tarienth know that we'll be returning to get you seen to. We don't want to leave them in a lurch because we didn't warn them.
Of course, G'rey-mine.
And only once G'rey received confirmation that the message had been passed along to their Wingleader did they vanish between, back to the Weyr to see to Karhath's injuries.

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!
Their return to the wing was swift - far swifter than G'rey had anticipated. But Karhath had been tended to with an efficiency he was certain no other Weyr could rival and cleared for return the moment the healers had finished slathering numbweed on his Threadscore. However brief the moment of respite was, it had afforded Karhath a chance to ease the tension he'd been carrying for the past hour at least. But as they reappeared in position to flame down a clump of thread and Karhath managed to come up short, G'rey realized they'd neglecting one thing in their relief at being given a clean bill of health.
It appears you need to refuel.
Karhath snorted, but G'rey could feel the warm amusement through their bond. He could play at being grumpy all he wanted, but it was easy to tell that he was more amused by their mistake than irritated. Perhaps it was the relief at being so swiftly given a clean bill of health.
Well you had better just feed me some more, shouldn't you?
It was an easy enough demand to give into. G'rey had at least remembered to swap out his bag while Karhath was being tended to, even if actually feeding him firestone on their way out had slipped his mind.

With their space in the skies reclaimed and Karhath refueled on firestone, it seemed the pair had finally regained their stride after the trip to the healers. G'rey had no illusions that they would be commended for their performance later - it had been a rough beginning, and Karhath had come away with more new scars than he cared for. But in this very moment, they were in their element.
There was no need to chase down each individual strand as they had needed to in the lower altitudes. This high up, so long as they remained aware of the position of their wingmates, all Karhath needed to do was open his jaws and flame. And that was exactly what he did, flaming down a patch with ease now that he'd chewed his firestone.

Shaking his head to get the last of the thread ash from it, Bossuth belched fire all around himself, giving him just the briefest of moments to breathe in relief before thread began to whip back into he and his rider's area again. It was what he needed but he had to wonder how worth it.
