Courath & Calanoth
(tag Mercy, Aerith, Suunath, dragons)
Courath skidded to a halt as the white, matching her in size, dropped from the air in front of her. At the command Courath lifted her head high and proud. {color=darkseagreen] ~ Aerith we are needed! ~ She insisted. ~ You are needed! Our size comes to our advantage. With the Weyr, MY Home, burning I cannot sit idly by. Come with us to rescue those who may be trapped. You and I, we can fit into the smaller buildings. Our hides can withstand the heat of fire longer than our humans. ~
Courath craned her neck back to look at the Benden gold as she was ordered back to place. Her claws dug into the ground though her tone remained respectful ~ With you and our bronzes guarding Mine how can I feel she is unsafe? ~ Another pause as a bronze voice interrupted.
Calanoth snorted. Why was he not surprised it was Devith's little green shadow who charged off into danger. He had nothing against the He was about to lend Aerith his aid when Suunath stepped in. He discussed with his rider for a moment before adding. ~ Plexith's is taking human's into the weyr. Wait for them. ~ It might make a good compromise.
Z'fer
(Tag ALL THE PEOPLE)
He didn't fancy the idea of being left behind as he saw it. Still of all the Wingleader's present he had to admit he was the most intimidating. If a crowd was going to listen to any of them they'd probably listen to him. That and Hekate was in the crowd somewhere... He gave a curt nod to Narisa and D'lin before turning and storming his way up the stage, letting his boots echo loudly on the wooden platform. ~ Cal give me a hand here. ~
The large bronze took a deep breath, the scent of smoke finally reaching his nose and roared as loud as he could.
Once the roar had died down, hopefully shocking the majority of the crowd into silence Z'fer lifted his own voice to be heard. "LISTEN UP!! Wingleader D'lin requires anyone with a well trained firelizard to report to him as well as strong individuals to form a fire bridage! The Weyr burns and we need to move NOW.
Those of you with hunting experience find Wingleader Kleos and the Bronze Wher with her." Z'fer repeated Moriath's call to arms.
"The REST of you will stay RIGHT HERE. Any attempts to leave will be FORCFULLY Stopped." They wanted him to keep everyone put? He and Cal would keep everyone put.

Cetalese and Halith
(Tag Z'fer, D'lin, Plexith and others)
Although she fell quiet as some of the Wingleaders seemed to take her suggestion to heart, the silence was soon filled with Abigail finally snapping free of her trance, as heralded by Brakiath's sudden bellowing of orders. Abigail fell suspiciously silent again and Cetalese watched her, studying the blank stare as she absorbed the curiously amplified voice of Brakiath.
Her musings had to be put aside when there were bigger things to do.
"I'm going with you," Cetalese said to D'lin when he received his orders. Her voice was direct-- not an order, but she clearly didn't expect an argument either. She looked at Narisa and nodded her acknowlegment before they headed off into the weyr, trailed by the others who were going.
Halith was busy with the dragons as her rider sorted out her place among the humans. I will go to the weyr too! Plexith, we are going with you. Halith Rose into the air just as she was smacked in the face by an overly-panicked dragons announcement that felins were in the weyr.
Someone says felines and another says fire, Cetalesemine! Be careful! Halith's eyes swept the crowd for the movement of Cetalese and D'lin.
((Cetalese and Halith both choose Option B with D'lin's group.))

Tanya
There was nothig she could do to help, no instructions that made any sense, even when the Gold roared and tried to put order to chaos with a set of instructions that Tanya found very vague.
Thankfully, not long after a Bronze let out a roar that deafened everyone and his rider's voice sailed out above the crowd. Tanya recognized the rider, one whom rumor had been following lately, but at least with him she had a clear sense of what was being done and what she was meant to do.
Stay put. Keep out of the way. Don't try to leave for any reason. Good. She could follow that. The woman shifted uneasily and looked around at those near her, knowing she was in for a long wait.
((Choosing Choice C and staying with the big group to help out.))
Orlina
Orlina stayed close to Zarike, keeping a hold on his arm. She was still a Candidate and a young one and Zarike wasn't even a Candidate yet. She knew what that meant.
"I think we're staying here," she told him, her voice at a lower-than-usual volume since Z'fer had put the crowd in its place. "We'll just have to eavesdrop on the riders!" She grinned at him. Staying here didn't mean being out of the loop-- it just meant being out of harm's way.
((Choice C.))

Kindra
tag to Z'fer
As much as she didn't like Z'fer, his call for trained flits had her calling Fury from her position near Suunath, Patches and Runt stayed with Suunath while Brat, who was still very young, curled around Kindra's neck, frightened. "Fury is well trained but i'm not leaving Abigail or Narisa" she stated "As a Gold however she could be of use, she knows D'lin well enough to listen to him" she added, frowning. She wasn't about to leave N'mol or Narisa... they needed her here, to be strong and not vulnerable.
"There... shouldn't be fire at the Weyr if it's Felines... there's something else to this" she said quietly, if she was wrong then fine but she was uncomfortable with anyone leaving and allowing less to protect the people gathered here, especially since all three Goldriders were here.

N'mol
(Tag Kindra, Z'fer, others)
N'mol squeezed Kindra's hand back. The orders had been given and Narisa had, for one reason or another, not included him in the instructions, which left him able to choose his own options. He debated staying-- Z'fer would need a hand-- but D'lin was going out with only a token force of riders. With the dragons, hopefully Z'fer would be able to hold off anything that attacked. Kindra would be safe and N'mol would be put to better use helping to put out those fires. He had spent most of his pre-Candidate years hauling large objects around Benden, after all. Fire buckets would be nothing.
Are you staying?
Of course. Good luck. Do not get killed.
Thanks. I'll try not to.
"You're right; there shouldn't be." Something wasn't adding up and it put a sour feeling in N'mol's stomach. "I'm going to see what we can do about the fires," he told Kindra. He squeezed her hand again and then released it. "You'll be safe here and Suunath will have Tyeth at her side. Don't let fear stop you from helping Narisa direct others. The two of you are friends; I doubt she would mind the help." He smiled at Kindra and then turned to go.
N'mol snagged Z'fer's sleeve before he left. "Have Tyeth call if you need anything," he offered, gaze direct and serious. "They're going to need more people on those fire brigades, but Tyeth will stay. Good luck." He gave the older man a bracing pat on the arm and ducked off into the crowd, hurrying through the masses to catch up with D'lin's group.
((N'mol will choose Option B.))
Tyeth
Petty differences were forgotten in the face of a crisis. Tyeth could resume holding a grudge later.
Suunath, Cepheith, we are here with you, to direct as you will. Tyeth's gaze swept the forest and then returned to the Golds and the Bronzes who remained. Though we wait, we are not idle.
((Choice C and sticking with protecting the large group of humans.))

[Siask, tag Z'fer and draggun]
Siask and Siask's heard the BigBronze - dragon bronze, not important bronze like Siask - and was, as he ran to the fire with his handler and her friend, mildly confused.
Yes, he wanted to hunt felines, to feel their blood in his mouth and stomachs tearing open by his somewhat jagged teeth, but his handler said No, No there is a fire. What Siata said, he did. She would take him killing another time.
He sent Cal a few feelings of confusion and then his visual: Kleos and Siata headed towards the fire, not the jungle, his own claws slamming at the ground to get towards the heat. The fire would start to hurt his eyes, and he sent that too, the image of so hot, so bright and his eyelids closed partially in anticipation for the pain. He knew what fire felt like and that it would hurt him even if he could not see the heat signature yet. He did it for Siata.
so don't send people hunting.

D'lin
Tag Group B - Back to the Weyr.
D'lin had merely nodded and flashed Ceta a grateful smile when she stated she would come to help. He had expected nothing less of her and he certainly wasn't going to say no to another pair of hands. When N'mol caught up and announced his intention to help as well he shook his comrades hand with a warm smile. N'mol was a good dependable sort to have around. They'd worked well together during the fighting before..and he couldn't imagine it being any different now.
'Some young dragons wish to help..and the white one as well.' Plexith announced suddenly.
'Very well..as long as they listen, tell them you'll send them right back if the young ones go charging off without paying attention.' He told the bronze before looking at his group, he'd spotted a few others peeling off from the crowd to go running on on thier own and while mentally cursing them for doing so he really couldn't spare the energy to chase them down either. He'd just have to hope they managed to get to the Weyr without being mauled. "Alright, lets go people, When we get to the Weyr I want the majority to handle the fires, we worked far to hard to let things burn down around us again...N'mol will be in charge of that group, the rest of us will figure out what it up with the tunnelsnake."
Plexith
Tag Aerith, Sr. Weyrlings etc - B, Back to the Weyr
When Aerith contacted him Plexith conversed with his for a few moments before speaking to the young dragons again. 'You may come..but you must listen to instruction or be sent back.' He warned before turning to Cepheith. He hated to leave her. 'I go with mine to help at the Weyr...Tyeth and Calanoth stay to help you here...contact me if you feel I am needed of course.' He bespoke the gold before nudging her lightly and jumping into the air, bugling to Halith as he led her to join the Sr. Weyrlings and Aerith. 'Come' He told them 'The humans need us to scout ahead and ensure the path is safe.'
Aerith
Reluctantly B - Back to the Weyr with Plexith and D'lins group
Aerith considered the little greens words for several long moments refusing to moved until Calanoth offered his compromise and she had contacted and spoken with Plexith. 'Very well' She relented as the larger bronze and the green joined them. 'But you must listen, you must...wounded humans are delicate..we cannot simply snatch them from danger, The other humans must move them carefully and slowly and then we can transport them to safety.' She insisted.Assuring Mercy that she would be careful through their bond.

Z'fer
Calanoth was looknig everywhere at once trying to focus his own thoughts, calls from dragons were reporting conflicting messages, the little ones were running wild, and His was requesting help with something else entirely. Scorch it his tail still hurt too! The bronze shook his head and pulled one bit of information from his memeory, relaying it belatedly to his. ~ Moriath's has changed direction. She goes to the weyr as well. The Wher hunts the felines. There is a tunnelsnake? ~
A Tunnelsnake? Why would a tunnelsnake be in Trine?! Z'fer raised his voice again. "Change of plans! Able bodied men and women follow Kleos and D'lin to the weyr! Take any weapons You can! The larger the better! The rest of you find a seat and stay calm while we get things under control!" He turned to see N'mol at his side, the young man's hand on his good arm. "Good Luck." He nodded and returned N'mol's brotherly pat. That left Z'fer alone with the two goldriders in charge. He saw a few other riders and weyrfolk that had milled about their group and stepped off the platform. He walked up to Set'al and the Dolphineers. "If any of you are staying behind I need some people to arrange a few tables for the Healer's use. If there are injured we'll need a place to bring them." Caught outside as they were Z'fer didn't know if the healer's hall was on fire or otherwise in trouble. For all he knew they may have to evacuate the residents to here, setting up a base camp for the second time in less than a turn.

Kindra
tag N'mol/Z'fer
Kindra turned her head to N'mol when she felt him squeeze her hand, she smiled but there was worry in her eyes and she was about to argue when N'mol said he was going to the weyr but she held her tongue, no.. she wouldn't be selfish and she needed eyes at the Weyr. "Don't get killed N'mol" she said, not realising Tyeth had said the same and she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before he went. "Just.. please come back to me" she whispered before he spoke to Z'fer and ducked off, leaving a wrenching feeling in her gut for him.
"Suunath, stay in touch with Tyeth.. let me know if he gets hurt"
"Of course Mine" she said, her tone edged with irritation but she knew Hers was worried about Tyeth's "Tyeth, Mine requests that you keep me informed about Yours if he is hurt, i would also like to know what is going on at the Weyr, would you oblige?" she asked of the Bronze, putting aside her annoyance at his recent behaviour towards her.
Kindra turned at Z'fer's voice "That's not such a great idea Z'fer, we need a force to stay here too, there's an injured man and the werylings as well as the healers and others unable to defend ourselves if you send every able bodied person to the Weyr" she snapped, not liking the idea of sending every able person to the Weyr one bit. "You would leave those incapable without human protection in case anything manages to get past the Dragons" she grumbled at him in a hushed tone, he was doing a good job of ordering everyone about and despite her dislike of him, she wasn't going to speak up loudly about her concern and embarass him in front of everyone .. especially when there more important things to think about.

Zarike
(Staying)
Zarike blinked in surprise at the sight of the fear in Orlina's eyes. "I'm sorry..." He hadn't meant his comment on whers to frighten her that bad. He held on to her arm as she held onto his, the two working their way towards where the most action seemed to be. "Sounds like it." His worry vanished as Orlina suggested they listen in on the rider's plans.
Dorado stayed curled up, her head tucked under Zarike's arm. At this rate she'd never leave their hut again.
Cai
(Staying)
She had forgotten redwort oil. Cai could only hope the healer's in route had thought to bring some. Stitching the man up would help unless he got infected from not being sterilized. Cai decided she would not ask if that's what had happened to Bereck... not now anyways. "Berath is bringing Healers. They should be here any moment. I sent Gingko to him when this guy first stumbled in."
"We're going to lose him..." She gritted her teeth as the man paled and the blood flow slowed. Not what she wanted to see. With one hand she grabbed the man's chin and slapped his cheeks a couple times. Her sharp voice snapping at him. "You! Wake up! You stay with us you hear me or so help me I hope your soul rots between!"
Dizzian
Dizzian hit the ground and didn't fight against Mercy. "She's still going..." Courath had updated her on the plans, that there was a tunnelsnake and fire and she was off to ferry the injured out.
Courath held her ground, facing off with her instructor until the white relented. ~ Understood. ~ Satisfied the green waited till the band of riders joined them before following their lead into the burning weyr.

Freia - Tag D'lin and group
"I don't know how or why a tunnelsnake is here. We can hunt it, with some help of the other whers." She looked over the group, seeing if another handler was with them. "I didn't see any other felines when we left, Freiask was pretty good at chasing them off, some with injuries." The older woman put a hand on the gold, trying to keep her calm with all the people around.

Becka
tag Cai/Bereck's flit XD
Becka was relieved when the silver popped back, Nightling in tow, with suture equipment, and she told both of them just now great they were and how they'd get a treat just as soon as she could. She wondered where the crimson was but that would have to wait for later. "Cai" she said then blinked as she slapped the man, trying to keep him awake, not what she'd have done but she prayed it was effective. "Cai, the flits brought me suture material... c....could you please" tears welled up in her eyes and her hands trembled as she held the things to Cai, "I...i can't... i can't stop seeing Bereck" she said, trying to hold herself together but the pallor on the man, the claw marks, the bleeding out... plus the one eyed Wher showing his face just brought too many flashbacks of Malvren and fighting to keep Bereck alive "I'll do anything ... but i can't sew him up... not..not now" she mumbled, she would have to get over it but right now too much was happening, she'd heard there was fire at the Weyr from the crowd around.... Fire AND Felines.. just.. it was Malvren all over again and Becka was deathly afraid for Bereck.

Z'fer
Z'fer shot a look at Kindra when she smarted off to him. "It's a seacraft term." Was the explanation she got. He'd honestly figured the term was more widespread than that but then again she was from a landlocked Weyr high up in an old volcano. Maybe she'd never seen a ship in her life.
Cai
"What?" Cai's head whipped to look at Becka. She looked at the materials in the shaking girls hands and her gaze turned stony. She grabbed the needles and thread anyways. "Keep pressure there then." Once she was sure Becka could handle that at least Cai grabbed at the shredded remains of the man's tunic giving it a hard yank and tearing it in two so she could get to his chest. She'd have to douse the wounds in redwort later. For now she wiped her hands on her pants and threaded the needle. Oh Faranth it was so unsanitary. She bit the end of the thread to separate it from the spool and set to work. "F'itz, Becka hold him steady. We've got nothing to numb him and he's about to have a lot more holes stabbed into him." Cai was good with names, once she'd met you it was unlikely she'd forget it. Her turns of hard repetitive study had helped her there.
Her first few stitches were rough and too tight, the pressure and tautness required to bind dragonhide being too much for soft human skin. She winced and tried to adjust while still working quickly. What she'd do about the severed veins she didn't know. Cai was no vascular surgeon to be able to do such delicate work. Her mind raced..."Becka can any of your lizards get firestone and a knife?"
This would not end pleasantly for the man should he survive.

((pffff catch up post forgive me if things are touched upon that have been answered/initiated already <33 ))
Narisa and Cepheith
[Current Location: At party
Command Ability Usage: 1 ]
Stay calm, Ceph. I need you level headed through this!
It finally dawned on the Goldrider that she had dragged poor Set'al right up there with her. She'd felt his reassuring squeeze of her hand and gratefully appreciated it. Knowing he hadn't abandoned her and finding something to focus her mind on was helping Narisa to calm herself a little. Yes, she was still terrified to be issuing... orders. But...
You are doing what you were meant to do, Narisamine. Cepheith rumbled, but seemed to be settling down the more her rider's thoughts weren't quite so chaotic.
Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, she glanced to her side at Set'al, death grip on his hand relaxing. "Thank you." She murmured with a smile, finally releasing the Bronzerider's hand.
Reports say the Weyr burns. The Gold snarled, scraping her talons through the ground. And sights of felines. She informed Hers, snorting and folding her wings back. Her tail still belayed her irritation, but at least she wasn't whacking dragons with her wings! I'm sorry, Plexith. She added quietly to the Bronze.
They Weyr... burned? Narisa swallowed, glancing over at Kindra. D'lin was already organizing a group to head that way... Okay. He was level headed and she had absolute faith in her friend. "You're right." She nodded to her fellow Goldrider, turning to raise her voice loud enough to be heard. "If you are heading to the Weyr, report to Wingleader D'lin-" She paused as Cepheith relayed what Moriath and Kleos were doing. "Or Wingleader Kleos." She amended. "They'll keep us informed and we'll relay any more instructions to you through them." With a nod, she let the Bronzerider take charge of the group he was gathering and gave a small smile as Z'fer took charge of the crowd. Moriath. Plexith's is organizing a group as we speak. Mine gives yours and his full authority to organize and lead groups. Keep us informed. And be careful, sister.
Aerith also reports they will take care of the weyrlings. Good, good. Wait, what was Z'fer saying?! Oh Faranth. "Be 'gentle', Wingleader Z'fer." Narisa sighed, knowing that force could very well be required. That said, she left the man to his task.
Sighing heavily, and glancing towards Abigail warily, Narisa stepped closer to Kindra. "I don't like this." No s**t! Who did? "Something... is wrong. Why is the Weyr burning if felines are here? This... " Reminded her of before. With the Uprising. By the Egg, she was not going to lose Trine! If her Senior Weyrwoman couldn't do anything at the moment, she'd do her sharding best to step in for Abigail.
We should have someone keep watch of those that are injured, my darling. Cepheith turned her head to look over the humans towards where Hers stood. Especially with the scent of blood in the air.
"Do we have any word on the Healers?" She asked of those around her. "We're going to need them. I want those that are here already to find a place they have room and find help to set up to take care of the injured. Keep that area protected. The scent of blood and pain will probably attract the felines." Shards, what about the people that would be injured at the Weyr? Narisa bit her lip, looking towards Z'fer. "Can you make sure that gets taken care of, including a few dragons to stand guard?" He was already asking for help, which made some of the tension leave her shoulders.
Plexith. Moriath. Have you spotted anything yet? Cepheith asked of the two dragons.

Kindra
tag Z'fer/Narisa
Kindra snorted but quietly to herself, "I know the term Z'fer but not everyone is going to know that's what you mean... they're just going to follow orders" she replied, trying to keep from raising her voice "Something isn't right here... we can't just have everyone going off to the Weyr, we need to be organised" she hissed. moving past him to stand near Narisa, still closer to Z'fer than she'd like but she knew that he would protect her... the other Goldriders too. Petty squabbles didn't matter right now and Narisa seemed to be taking charge too, that was good, as much as Kindra was trying to fit in, it still wasn't HER Weyr so automatically she deferred to Narisa, especially since the woman was almost like the sister Kindra never had. She trusted her completely. "Just let me know what you need of me and Suunath Narisa... and we'll be right behind you" she said, smiling and taking the other woman's arm.
Becka
tag Cai/F'itz
Becka nodded, she was small but she could hold a man down if she needed to. "Ready?" she asked the Brownrider, biting at her lip as she held the shoulder of the injured man "By the shell of Faranth, i hope he lives through this" she thought to herself, Nightling hovering above while Bereck's silver curled around her shoulders and watched.
She blinked and looked up at Cai when the other apprentice mentioned firelizards "Only the green is mine but she's not empty headed like some, do they need to bring it or just chew it?" she asked, visualising one of the slim knives used for surgery to Nightling.
The green flit winked out and no more than a minute later returned with a small but sharp knife, thankfully sheathed as the Green carried it in her claws
"Will this do Cai?" asked Becka, drawing it out of the sheath.
