You're low on firestone! If you've already replenished recently (within the last 5 posts) you may you may choose to skip this roll and just do a general post for no XP. OR you can keep it and blame it on a faulty bag, or some other excuse for being without stone. Call for one of the weyrlings to send you another sack of stone! [Flag down a weyrling! Post this code in your next post and see if a weyrling can get to you!]

This time, when R'gal reached into his bag, his fingertips brushed--practically nothing. He felt around for a few slightly panicked seconds, trying to see if there was any kind of hole or damage that could have sent their supply spilling down to the ground below--but it didn't take long to prove that there wasn't anything like that. He'd been too focused on burning thread to take much stock of their supply, and R'gal mentally kicked himself for limiting his attention so severely. s**t. We're almost out. What? Already? Yeah. Give somebody a call, would you?

Oh no, look out! A small clump of thread broke through the ranks, and has managed to hit your and your dragon. It is an ugly tangle, and though you blink between, it's going to hurt! [Moderate Damage -5 HP. You are now flying with a Painful status effect. This will negate your next immediate rolls XP and double damage if the roll includes set damage (or has you roll for damage). Negated by Karhath!
With another clump rapidly descending on top of them, Heimdath barked as she tried to twist away -- twist her rider out of harm’s way on instinct. At the very least she would take a hit over her rider, her beloved who had someone waiting on him at home….
The surprised bark almost turned squeal as another’s flame drew close, searing the thread away from her into harmless ash that she dodged quickly. The retreating form of Karhath would have a small spark of warmth of gratitude from the little green. Thank you!

The spark of warmth was one easily returned by Karhath, always so affection himself. While he did not turn or crane his head to catch one last glimpse of Heimdath, he replied to her easily enough.
You're welcome! Couldn't very well have let that get you, now could I?
They were back in their stride after that save. G'rey could tell just from how Karhath moved in the sky - effortless once again in the way that only His could be. There were times he almost - almost - regretted being the one riding Karhath, unable to admire his speed and grace from the ground the way His deserved to be admired. But those moments were fleeting at best, quickly tossed away in favor of being Karhath's. To be the one who flew with him in the air was something he wouldn't trade for the world. What else was there life could even offer him?
Each blink Between was what G'rey might even call perfection. Timed just right, using instinct and observation to make sure they didn't return into any stray Thread. But there was a moment after one jump that they appeared right in time to flame down another sliver of Thread, perfectly positioned to get it immediately after reappearing.
Whether it was luck or skill didn't truly matter.

As they snapped back into the airspace from between, a shimmering sliver of thread was falling, tumbling in front of them. It falls for a fraction more before a quick spit of fire from the green reduces it to ashes. Success!
Harbingers R’iz of Bronze Bossuth HP: 36 Status Effect: N/A XP: Target Accuracy: 3 Flame Length: 2 General Stamina: 4 General Agility: 2 Between Accuracy: 2 Pain Resilience: 4 Instinct: 2 Luck: 2
Day 1 Roll 1: Nothing
So far, so good. Really in the lower wings it was a bit better and safer, so it was an okay place to start out. Bossuth seemed to be marinating on his interactions before he'd taken off from the bowl, there were certainly things on his mind. On R'iz's too of course, but he reached out gently and checked on his little bronze.
He was met with humor and a bugle escaped the small bronze.

Day 1 Roll 1: Nothing Roll 2:+1 Target Accuracy
Though they'd been flaming a few loose clumps here and there, a large one appeared before the pair and Bossuth's wide wings beat deeply to fly up towards it. He scorched it out of the sky with ease and settled back into his position, nothing passing through his mind in the manner of a pat on the back at all, though R'iz spared a smile. They'd have enough time for panic and pain soon.

Just as Bossuth had been about to shoot a flame at a clump that had fallen through, the little bronze rolled and dropped, avoiding ash that would have scorched the both of them. R'iz readjusted himself a bit and shook his head. Some warning next time?

Day 1 Roll 1: Nothing Roll 2:+1 Target Accuracy Roll 3:+1 Instinct Roll 4:Tongue Bitten Effect
The first trouble that they ran into was one that would irritate Bossuth for hours if not the next couple of days to come. His tongue flared with pain, one so sharp that R'iz smacked a hand to his own mouth unconsciously in a sympathetic pain. The firestone cracked violently in retaliation a moment later but the damage was done and all the little bronze could even focus on was that throbbing pain in his mouth.

Throb, throb, throb. Bossuth shook his head a bit and jumped when a bit of thread came just a bit too close to him, one he would have noticed if his tongue hadn't hurt quite so badly. He flamed it but it had sunk down low enough that ashes would rain down below him and he felt guilty.

Day 1 Roll 1:+1 Luck
Neither of them were fighters, in fact the lower wing location to start out was the best thing for both of them because it got them into the groove a lot better than if they would have started out in the chaos of direct threadfall. Neirinth of course was still sighing over a beautiful little blue that he would be worried about the entire fall. His large bulk shifted out of the way of a clump, his head snaking to shoot a flame that scorched it from the sky as F'nar blinked lazily at it.
The big brown sighed wistfully.

Day 1 Roll 1:+1 Luck Roll 2:+1 Between Accuracy
Despite how he was daydreaming lazily, Neirinth was no stranger to fighting Thread and he saw when it came flying back towards him. F'nar touched his hide gently and they hopped Between just before it could scorch them, reappearing in safety. No one could argue that they were at least attentive despite obliviousness and daydreaming.

Well that's what I get for not typing in a number of dice. *Facepalm*
Harbingers F’nar of Brown Neirinth HP: 39/41 Status Effect: N/A XP: Target Accuracy: 6 Flame Length: 6 General Stamina: 9 General Agility: 6 Between Accuracy: 6 Pain Resilience: 8 Instinct: 6 Luck: 6
Day 1 Roll 1:+1 Luck Roll 2:+1 Between Accuracy Roll 3:+1 Pain Resilience // -2 HP
His tolerance for pain was ridiculous, it always had been. In fact F'nar had quite the resilience to it himself from all his turns on a farm. That didn't make the burn of ash blowing into the brown's face hurt any less. But at least he was able to shake himself through it, his sparkle flecked face would heal with time.

Day 1 Roll 1:+1 Luck Roll 2:+1 Between Accuracy Roll 3:+1 Pain Resilience // -2 HP Roll 4:-5 HP
Confidence was maybe an overstatement, for Neirinth never really felt overconfident and neither did F'nar, but they at least were moving fluidly and comfortably in the air. That might have been what made it so shocking when a tangled clump of thread scored the big brown's backside and he yelped Between with his blond rider in tow so he could crack it off before it burrowed.
