You appear from Between and find the space you were hoping would be clear now has a large sheet of Thread being guested 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!
1: You critically fail! You either appear between directly in the clump of Thread and take Major Damage for -8 HP =or= you could wind up getting lost Between, and die, having not properly visualized where to jump. Death -- optional.
2: You appear close to the clump. Your dragons wings are grazed, but another quick hop and you're fully clear of the danger. [Minor Damage -1 HP.
3: You're fully clear of the danger! Phew! That was close! +1 Extra Between Accuracy
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

Thread falls, and a sneaky strand winds up chewing on your wingsail. You pop Between to ease the pain, and come out flaming. It hurts, but it's small tubers compared to what it could have been! +1 Pain Resilience]
Flame and turn and wheel and burn... E'sul focused on the next patch, the next clump, and kept an eye on where the best escapes would be for any given moment. Threadfall was as much a mental game as it was physical; with the dragons doing the brunt of the flaming, but the riders sending encouragement and direction on where to go.
Unfortunately, neither dragon or rider was perfect, and both missed a small, sliver tendril floating down from the sky. It landed in a coil in the middle of Nioweth's wing, and though she gave a surprised hiss at the pain, a quick trip Between made little work of the nuisance.

Hour 1, Round 1 1. Status Save
You are still all in order, my hearts? Everything where it should be? Harth confirmed with Hers as soon as they emerged from Between to their spot at mid altitude, as though such a short little trip might have dislodged something, or the hundred times she'd already asked if everything was just right hadn't been enough.
Perfect, love, Ellifrin confirmed, patting the green on the neck as they got their bearings - luckily, they weren't immediately in the thick of things, and had time to do so. And Harth, being Harth, just had to check in on a wingmate to make sure everything was right with them as well.

In good spirits, as things seemed to be off to a smooth enough start - as smooth as any start in any Fall could be, anyway - Harth sent Hers waves of reassurance as she twisted and dove after Thread, flaming it to ash. She knew well that Ellifrin wasn't fond of what they had to do, but they did it regardless, and that counted for something!

As they fought, a sneaky little strand of Thread caught Harth on her wingsail, and the pair quickly popped Between before it could do any real damage. It did sting a bit, but it would take far more than that to put a stop to Harth! She had a job to do, and she would see it done no matter what.

Oh, drat! Just as Harth finished flaming down a large clump of Thread, a strong gust of wind kicked up, blowing them right into the cloud of hot ash. Now that was uncomfortable! Are you alright, dear? she checked in with her rider, brimming with concern.
Quite, Ellifrin assured her - it had hardly been pleasant, but her leathers afforded her fair enough protection. Harth and her bright hide had definitely gotten the worst of it.

The wind picked up yet again as incinerated a sheet of Thread, and Harth fought hard against it to keep from being blown into her own ash-cloud (not to mention out of formation!) a second time...and while she succeeded, she pulled a wing muscle in doing so. Oh, dear. When Ellifrin expressed concern, however, she brushed it off. Nothing to worry about, dearest! I'm quite alright!

Hour 1, Round 1 1. Almost toasted, but not!
Herg'r and Hyglath both were eager as ever to take to the air and fight, and got down to business with enthusiasm...and they weren't the only ones enthusiastic about flaming Thread today, apparently. As it happened, someone was rather overenthusiastic, and came out from between flaming - right at them! BLorting in surprise, and with a speed only desperation could explain, the bulky bronze rolled out of the way just in time. He was perhaps just a tiny bit singed around the edges, but he'd made it!

Once they'd shaken off the surprise of their close call, any potential offense was quickly brushed away - neither of the two of them were the sort to get their feathers ruffled by much of anything - and they got right back to it. Just in time for a rather large clump to come plummeting down into their airpsace! Hyglath made quick work of it, and just like that, the earlier incident was all but forgotten.

It was easy to get tunnelvision at times, to focus so hard on burning one clump of Thread that another could sneak up unseen, and that was exactly what almost happened; fortunately, Herg'r spotted the clump gusting up towards them from below, and directed his dragon Between. It did still catch Hyglath in the tail, but it could have been far worse!

You're so focused on flaming Thread that you miss a clump of thread blows up on the wind -- beneath you! If a brown or bronze, your heavier size does cause your tail to get caught! [+1 Between Accuracy & Minor Damage - 2 HP!]
Thella and Lireloth appeared in formation, ready to fight after prepping in the Bowl. They were right in the thick of it from the start - clearly the higher altitude was getting pounded pretty hard - and were doing well until a clump of Thread rose from beneath them. The Thread did catch Lireloth's tail just before they could jump Between, but it was a glancing blow if anything.

Emerging from Between, they caught sight of another sheet of Thread in their airpsace, and Hyglath swooped after it to flame it down - only for a gust of wind to blow it back towards them before he'd even finished! Quickly, they hopped away again, and this time were spared any hurt.

All things considered, this was all going quite well for them so far! True, they'd had an exceedingly close call, but all that mattered was that nothing had actually come of it. If anything, the near-miss had been exhilirating, and had only served to amp up their adrenaline and really get them going. Still brimming with the feeling nearly half a candlemark later, Hyglath bugled with delight as he swooped after another tangle of Thread to burn it to ash.

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, 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.
On they flew, flaming here and jumping Between there, Thella giving a whoop as Lireloth flamed down a particularly wily bit of Thread. They jumped Between once more to get closer to a large sheet of the stuff and were working on breaking it up as much as they could when someone popped out from Between next to them. Facing them.
"Wait-" But Thella's voice certainly couldn't carry over the wind and Lireloth was too focused on flaming to cry out to Nachith. Flame engulfed them in the blink of an eye, Lireloth screamed in pain, he jumped Between-
