7. This is such a mess! Thread is everywhere. The High Altitude Wing is always in the thick of it, and today is no exception.

The wind was awful that day, and at the forefront of it, the Furies had no one to shield them from above. A clump that they'd safely passed by was suddenly blown right into Auroth's flank. The brown winked between instantly, giving a wriggle to shake off the frozen, dead threads from where they'd begun to dig into his hide. It smarted, but wasn't serious.

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.
There was a sudden lack of things to flame. Jakoli chuckled and made a show of slouching back in his straps to relax, folding his arms behind his head. Something could still blow up from below in this sort of wind, Auroth scolded. The man chuckled again, but sat up properly. I'm still paying attention, he assured the brown.

And just as quickly as it had receded, the Thread made a comeback, thick sheets falling upon the upper layer of dragons with a vengeance. Auroth took a deep breath and roared before sending up a gout of flame so big that it sent Jakoli into a hard lean back against his straps. Good night Auroth! You don't need to flame the whole sky!

Dezerac and Bronze Vedmath 1/5
The wind was particularly cruel today, and even with his large bulk, it could be a strain for Vedmath to fight against - and when it caught him at just the wrong moment as he executed a tricky maneuver, he could feel something pull in his wing muscle. Oh...well then.

Dezerac and Bronze Vedmath 2/5
Even with the slight strain in his wing, Vedmath was capable of continuing to fight against the wind, and when the next gust came, he did just that...only for a clump of Thread to blow right into his side. He bit back a squeal of pain as His steadied him, and they blinked between to get rid of the menace before it could do truly serious damage.

Freshly-scored hide still stinging, Vedmath wasn't keen to feel another quite yet (not that he ever was), and just managed to roll out of the way of a few strands of Thread.

Dezerac and Bronze Vedmath 4/5
The wind was bad, there was an awful lot of Thread up here, and Vedmath just happened to be an awful lot of dragon. It had its advantages, but it did mean that much more surface area that could come into contact with Thread. And did. Another tangle of Thread blew his way and into his haunches, and this time he did squeal, darting between yet again to be rid of it.

By some miracle, they were afforded a few moments to compose themselves, which the bronze, while he was loathe to admit it, rather needed.

Allia and Blue Somnuth (First Wave) 1/5
Though he was large for his size, even Somnuth was subject to being buffeted by the wind, and as he resisted being blown from formation, he felt the telltale pull of a strained muscle in his wing - doubtless not helped by the fact that this was their first 'Fall since being grounded for his wingsails to recover from a bad hit, and they were starting right in the thick of it at high altitude.
But they'd seen (and survived) far worse, and flew on.

Allia and Blue Somnuth (First Wave) 2/5
And continued to fly on, even as a quick maneuver to both twist away from a clump of Thread and flame it down sharpened the pain in his muscles. Perhaps he hadn't recovered as well as he'd thought...but he'd been cleared to fly!

Allia and Blue Somnuth (First Wave) 3/5
Neither Somnuth nor Allia had ever been given to overconfidence, nor to pushing themselves too hard - they knew their limits, knew when enough was enough, and weren't inclined to fruitless struggles. After Somnuth had been grounded to recover from extensive damage to his wings, they hadn't rushed things; they had taken their time, followed through on all instructions, and hadn't pushed to be allowed to fly sooner. No, they'd waited patiently to be cleared, and trusted in the judgement of the Healer who'd cleared them. There had been no signs in subsequent drills that anything was amiss, and all had seemed right for them to return to their full duties and fly a 'Fall.
Maybe there had yet been something underlying, and the strong winds, made worse by the high altitude, had created the perfect storm - whatever the reason, not even a full hour into the fight, Somnuth's wings gave out on him. The large blue was unable to catch himself, and he plummeted downward with a cry.

Still, your dragon fights on. If this is the third time you roll this and you haven't returned to the Weyr for attention your wings cramp up, and you find yourself going down! The wind is just too much, and the pain too great. You pushed yourself too hard, and now you're really in trouble! Post this!

A dragon was falling! With the aches and flaring pains in her body aside, Khamaith rose high to meet Somnuth as he fell. But the angle is hard, and her back already an aching mess from her tangle with the clump of thread, she isn't quite able to catch him. The collision has her grunt heavily, trying to correct the catch in her panic -- but corrects herself as he's caught by another queen. Oh, good. At least he was safe.
Rest easy, Somnuth. You fought valiantly. She sends him a wave of warm calm, a wash of affection as she backwinged before falling back down to her position.

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 -14 HP (Painful)

And off they went. Vennodren and Nzambith had fought Thread for a few rounds now but nothing was quite like coming from Between in the thick of the Thread. Venn could feel Nzambith's muscles beneath him straining to hold her position, but she survived the buffet and settled into formation.
"Good girl, Nzam," Venn said softly, knowing his pride would carry his words over the wind.
