No sooner had they gotten back into formation than the wind was trying to blow them out of it...and worse still, trying to blow Thread right into them! Mazamath was ever-watchful, however, and when a clump was blown his way, he was quick to twist out of its path and burn it to ash.

Another week, another threadfall. L'an and Alcherath, if nothing else, took it all in stride, the relaxed green easily weaving through the gales and eddies before they could be scuddied.

Wind, wind, more wind... no thread so far, but plenty of wind to beat their wings against. They might as well be out for a ride at this rate...

Adi and Blue Mazamath (First Wave, 3/5)
And while they were taking care of that swath of Thread, another blew up beneath them on the wind! Fortunately, they were on alert, and quick to jump out of its path.

4. You're so focused on flaming Thread that you miss a clump of thread blows up on the wind -- beneath you! If a greeen, 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]

You'd almost think the green wasn't paying attention, how unbothered she seemed by the danger and carnage all around. Or, maybe, she just felt confident? Either way, the dragons flying near Alcherath no doubt would feel her steady, almost dreamy sense of affection and calm wash over them. Mazamath, hang in there... we're right here with you, and look how pretty Western looks from up this high...
They were flying well, and while it was early still, Mazamath was proud of His, because she truly was improving every time they did this. Her nerves were less fraught, and she - and consequently he - was able to do a better job. They operated more and more smoothly with each sevenday that passed. Not that things didn't or wouldn't still go wrong, but there were obvious improvements that brought him no end of pride.
Sometimes it was the little things, though, and while they were doing brilliantly at the big ones thus far today, when it came time for him to chew more firestone, the blue bit his tongue. Yowch! Not only did it hurt, it was a terribly silly way to injure oneself, and he felt rather dimgl-
An encouraging word from Alcherath, however, interrupted such a toxic train of thought and distracted him from the discomfort. He sent back a gentle surge of gratitude and friendly affection. The view from up here is fine indeed, he agreed, And the company as well.

Ouch! Feeding your dragon some firestone has resulted in them biting their tongue! This is going to distract your dragon for the next three rolls. Their flaming aim will go down, and they might be slower to dodge out of Thread's way. [Tongue Bitten Effect! Your dragon is distracted by pain. No XP will be earned for the next 3 rolls. Any successes will be nullified. Should you roll a prompt with the possibility of damage, take the max damage allotted for your size/color automatically but it will also end the Tongue Bitten Effect immediately.]

Roll: 2 - As you're flaming down some Thread, a gust of wind suddenly pushes the remaining cloud back at you and your dragon. You've no choice but to blink Between to avoid it, and appear higher up, missing the clump. The rest of the thread falls down towards the lower altitude.

Almost absently the green noted a clump of thread sailing towards her as she flamed. A quiet Oh... hold on... was her only preamble as they blinked out of sight, snapping back in a long moment later, right into their spot, as if it had ever happened.
STAR FLAME WING =Flying FIRST Wave= L'an of Green Alcherath Round 1 - Hour 1 - Mid Elevation 6 – 6 – 19 – 2 – 12 X – X – X – X – X
Roll: 12 - 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!
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). Nullified by Sari's Miehrath! HP: 20/20 Status Effect: None.

Without warning a flaming teammate burst from between behind the green, the wind no doubt having driven them off course. But... the green wasn't paying attention. She'd spotted a particularly lovely looking lake below, and was daydreaming about a bath later. It would have been utter catastrophe, rider and dragon both scorched, if not for the sudden warning cry from Miehrath. Though the green did not have the thought to process hat he' said, it did startle her into leaping ahead, winking between some yards enough to be out of harm's way. O-oh...! You scared me, Miehrath! Is everything alright...?
As they reappeared from a quick hop between to what should have been a clear space, fear and alarm shot through Adi at the sight of a sheet of Thread being blown right towards them. Maz...Maz!! The blue stayed steady, and by Faranth's mercy, his cool head was enough for the both of them, and in the brief moment they had, they picked a spot and blinked away out of danger - and not only that, but managed to flame away half the clump before blinking away again.
Take that!
Quote:
20. You appear from Between and find the space you were hoping would be clear now has a large sheet of Thread being gusted 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!
-- 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

Set'al and Bronze Pipith 1/5
Pipith was always and ever ready and eager for any challenge, and fighting Thread was nothing if not a challenge, and so he relished it every time, no matter the conditions. If he had to fight the wind as well as Thread, so be it! He was more than capable! He could do this all day!
Quote:
5. 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 ] Browns and bronzes aren't having quite as bad a time, their stamina having always been programmed to be a bit more hearty. [+3 Stamina]

Aaaall day, baby. Just watch! Pipith bugled triumphantly after successfully burning a large tangle of Thread to ash. The only pity about any of this was that Cepheith was down in the Queen's Wing, and couldn't see firsthand just how amazing he was!

Set'al and Bronze Pipith 3/5
He was so on top of this that he even spotted a wingmate in trouble...serious trouble, and just in time! He called out a warning, and watched with deep satisfaction as they escaped disaster. And it was all thanks to him!
Quote:
7. You notice that one of your wingmates is in trouble. Look out! Your dragon screams warning, and you watch as they successfully dodge catastrophe. Quote a Wingmate who took damage to Nullify Damage for that post! The quoted wingmate can remove that damage, unless they have already returned to the Weyr for healing or are already playing out a KO'd scenario.

Good job, Pip. Don't get too distracted by how awesome you are, though, Set'al reminded his bronze, taking advantage of a little breather to check Pipith's ego before confidence became overconfidence. We've got a long ways to go yet!
Quote:
11. 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!
