W'ill could feel the relief flowing over him as Faloth easily flamed clump after writhing clump of Thread with apparent ease. They had needed a break after getting scored so badly at first. But they were Burning Aces Wing! The best and boldest fighting wing on Pern! Was there even any doubt they would come back and sear Thread into oblivion?

The wind is rough, but you and your dragon are managing. You get a breather as your dragon flies into a small break of Threadfall. The upper altitudes must be doing a good job sweeping up!
Looks like they've got it, buddy! Be'ren thought to his dragon with satisfaction, giving the bronze a pat on the shoulder. Silmarath bugled with pride at the Wings that flew above them.

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.
1. If green, you appear close to the target, but are pushed into the clump of Thread by a strong gust of wind! [Moderate Damage -4 HP] If any other color, you successfully catch the clump! [+1 Between Accuracy]
2. Regardless of color, you appear close by, and flame the clump of thread successfully! [+1 Between Accuracy]
3. You overshoot, and listen to your wingmates scream in pain as they're caught by thread, distracted from their fight by your sudden presence. Oh no! [Take 3 turns of Guilt! Any Damage rolled takes an additional -2 HP. Any successful bonuses by other players don't affect your character. You just don't deserve it.]
4. You actually find yourself Betweening INTO the clump of Thread. Oh fardles! [Major Damage -10 HP]
[Saved by Z'tir and Siloth]
Although at first the situation seemed desperate, with his Wingleader's encouragement Silmarath was able to help his wingmates effectively.

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! A Queen Is Needed! Help Catch Me!
If there are no active Queen Rider's able to make a saving roll, or you simply don't want to RP it out, feel free NOT to post the above prompt. Instead, simply say one of the NPC queens catches you, and is able to drop you and your dragon off successfully at the Weyr for Healing. This is an automatic KO. Your dragon is going to need some major healing. They will not return to the fight. This roll can also be a death roll if you wish it, with neither rider or dragon coming out of Between or the dragon perishing later.
2. The burn is painful, but you think you'll be okay! Moderate Damage -7 HP. They also now suffer a Painful status for the next 2 turns. This will negate any gained XP, and cause double damage if the prompt includes damage (or has you roll for damage).
3. If you're a green, or blue, you hastily weave out of the way. Your wingtips are a little singed, but you make it out without issue! Thank goodness you're so agile! If you're a brown or bronze, take Moderate Damage -4 HP.. A little crispy, but you can carry on the fight.
4. With some fancy wing maneuvering, and a quick roll, you manage to get out of the way successfully! You're not happy about the close call, but at least you and your dragon can carry on!
Silmarath gave a startled squeal of pain, as the mounting agony of a fellow Burning Aces' dragon's flame poured over him. It was, ultimately, too much for the dainty bronze, who slipped out of consciousness even as his rider frantically clung to his back. Then, too, the pain of Be'ren's wounds was too much for him, and he passed out from his burns and scores alike. As his thoughts blurred, all he could think of was how frantic Olliah must be... and wished that perhaps she might not...
worry...

Things weren't going great. Dragons were still getting hurt, and though there was less Thread to worry about than before, it was still very busy and quite dangerous. Though the pair kept an eye out for themselves, Venandith noticed something amiss--and was quick to call out warning a wingmate!
If he couldn't save them himself, the least he could do was warn them.

1. -7 HP 2. 1/3 for Antsy 3. Nada 4. +1 Target Accuracy 5. -4 HP
Dragon Injuries: Deep tail wound. Lesser left foot score. Some bruises from where Silmarath landed on her back.
Rider Injuries:
Quote:
Your queen flies high, ready to make the perfect catch. Unfortunately, the dragon falls hard, and at such an angle that your queen can't quite complete the catch. The dragon rolls off, but this time manages to land safely on one of the assisting queen's below. Phew. Unfortunately, the dragon did leave your queen feeling a bit bruised. Ah well. Nothing a hardly lady like her cant handle! Moderate Damage - 7 HP
While they were looking for Thread to sweep, word traveled fast that there was another injured--and sure enough, high up, she could see a dragon falter. Fianth! She hardly had to direct her queen, who already had changed positions.
It took but a moment, and unspoken thought--but Olliah suddenly had a dreadful feeling about who they were catching. Her queen could not--would not--hide from her who had suddenly fallen.
Another bronze... but this time it was Silmarath. First it had been Rixth--and though she feared greatly for her friend, for the sire of her most recent clutch--she had hoped that he would be the only one this day to need a catch. Than it had been the young green Nioweth, Thistreth's impish son. Lireloth had already broken her hearts.... but her own clutch brother Silmarath? And what of His?
The pale queen was shaken this day, and though her coat was ashen, she knew what she must do. She steadied herself, trying to position herself properly beneath the bronze. He might not have been a large bronze, but then again, she was not a very large queen. Perhaps she should have let Eveleth take the lead on this catch--but it was too late now.
Easy, easy! Drop a bit! Olliah knew the routine; a queen would need to drop herself just before the impact to (hopefully) lessen the blow. To ease them onto her shoulders and use her great wings to catch them fully.
Unfortunately, the wind kicked up, and the angle Silmarath fell was not easy to adjust for. The bronze landed harder than both rider and dragon expected, burned and oozing. Steady! Steady! Fianth faltered as Silmarath slipped, trying desperate to keep him aboard.
Thankfully, Eveleth was right where she needed to be-- and the bronze slipped effortlessly onto the larger queen.
And then they were gone.... Eveleth back to the Weyr, and Fianth back to the wing.
How bad was he? Olliah asked, trying to keep herself composed. That catch had been less than a success, and she could feel Fianth's trembling from the force of the blow.
...I do not know. But they were both distant... I'm sure they will be fine. They must be fine. Surely, Be'ren wouldn't abandon Hers, nor Silmarath His. They were injured but... she had to believe they would be all right.
Returning to the Queen's wings, their hearts ached... and there was endless frustration because there was nothing they could do but continue to fight.

Zyamel was proud that they had managed to help a wingmate out of trouble. Unfortunately, they had been able to do anything about Be'ren--who suddenly went down like a rock.
Shaffit! Things were absolutely rotton this Fall, and she couldn't believe the terrible luck her wingmates were suffering. Lireloth's death had truly been an omen... It felt like dragons were falling out of the sky every thirty minutes! Where would they be when this Fall ended?
She thought of Martirae, Iathe, Z'von, Roana, Amare... Well. Surely, they'd all be fine. She wasn't one to think negative for long, and instead, was more determined than ever to do right by her wingmates.
Thankfully, Venandith and she were able to spot another wingmate in trouble, and the brown wasn't shy about bellowing warning. Where would they be without us? He mused, his words arrogant as ever.
Zyamel could only agree. I'm glad we're back. They need us, just as much as we need them.

As they continued to fight, another strand fell through the lines, and landed right on Venandith's wingsail. A quick hop between made little work of it.

4: You not only manage to blink out of danger, but you blink back again, flame half of the clump, and blink away again only to appear a safe distance away. It's an impressive display of thread fighting power! Good job! Word will be going around the lower caverns tonight! +2 Extra Between Accuracy

You notice one of your wingriders is in need! Three clumps of thread are heading straight for them, while they are flaming down another impressive sheet. Ah, but your dragon is clever, and quick, and manages to flame all three down with short spits of fire.
If a brown, or bronze, you can't quite get over there in time. You call out to warn them, and manage to at least catch one clump while your wingmates blink Between. [+1 Target Accuracy]
Conditions were still dicey as the brown and his rider carried on the fight. Once again, they caught sight of another wingmate in trouble--and while he wasn't quite able to get over and save them personally, he was able to call out warning yet again.
Was anyone noticing how great he was? Not one but three saves, practically back to back! wasn't he just....amazing?
