Z'fer
A group had gone to talk to the rogue goldrider. Z'fer had considered joining them, but the discussion and idea's he had slowly forming (partially inspired by his weyrmate though he'd yet to discuss it with her) weren't quite ready yet. It was something he wanted to broach privately anyways. Z'fer would catch her after the party returned.
Wherholders at the Holdtown! There is fighting! Calanoth surged out of the water with a bellow and raced back to Z'fer's hut wher his rider was already outside, tugging his jacket on and stuffing his braid down the back.
Berath's firelizard sends the message. Calanoth roared as he leapt into the air.
Ja'kki
Ja'kki in the meantime had ignored the whole ordeal. The stupid gold they already had had lost the egg in the first place. Why did they need another queen? So what if they had fewer numbers? They were better trained and organized. The dragonriders always fell to them. Talk was boring anyways. Who wanted to talk when they could just take?
Oh Mine! There is fighting! Emerath lifted her head with an anxious croon from her sunny perch, eyes slowly going yellow. We should help maybe?
Yes we should shaffing help! Let Xenth and the others know! This was more like it! Ja'kki fastened her belt with it's clawed shoulder strap over her clothes and made sure her knife was in place. If they were going to capture or kill the queen Then Ja'kki wanted a piece of the action!

Ivanhoth, Celandine, and Celandsk
Ever since his rider had been captured, Ivanhoth had been, to put it mildly, a wreck: frantic, ranting, and inconsolable. He hadn't eaten and had barely slept, and had made himself nearly impossible to be around. Being without His for so long was a trial he was barely able to endure. Under ordinary circumstances, he was not an aggressive dragon - he merely acted on his aggressive rider's command- but these were not ordinary circumstances. He had no interest in the rogue gold, but once word had come of fighting with Trine...
He would have her back, or he would have revenge. No sooner had he flashed out from between than he was screaming, vocally and mentally. WHERE IS SHE?! What have you done with her?
He landed heavily, eyes flashing and wings flaring, but held still for long enough to allow a blue wher and his handler to dismount - which Celandine and Celandsk did as quickly as possible. They had needed the ride, but said ride had turned out to be...disturbingly unstable.

Kindra
The moment the firelizard message came through Kindra was rushing back to the weyr she still shared with Narisa and grabbing her riding gear. Dressing quickly as Suunath roared outside the weyr. Once she herself was ready, for once not caring about how she looked, she was out, grabbing her riding harness and quickly but properly, getting Suunath ready for flight.
MINE!.. hurry, we must go assist Cepheith and Iachixth
and Kindra was aboard, "Yes my love, while i think she is a foolish little child for bringing this on herself, we cannot allow those wherfaced creatures to harm her, or any of OURS! she agreed with her dragon, for once in the latest politics, they agreed on one thing. Defend Iachixth and her rider, Kill any Wherhandlers they could. Keller would pay for this dearly, or so Kindra hoped.
WE COME! Bellowed Suunath, to any dragon within hearing distance The wherhandlers are attacking ours, We must fly to their defence, those of you that will! She called to every willing dragon and rider to come to the defence of their own, counting Iachixth as among them, for the time being. She would NOT allow harm to befall her shining daughter, even if maternal instincts were long gone, Kindra remembered so Suunath remembered, added to that she now knew that a Weyrling was being attacked..... Suunath's eyes whirled shades of red, laced with some orange in her utter fury.

Canoake Defending Against C'ross
She had backed up towards her allies, knowing that it would be the 3 of them while Anali made her own attacks. Still, she could only do so much dodging and fighting in the enclosed space.
We leave the rogue gold and her rider. Tatath relayed.
When C'ross came at her, she was able to get an arm up to block. And it was her arm that took a deep cut across as the rider attacked. Blood began to flow as she cursed and turned just in time to see the angry blue rider attacking A'nos. Gritting her teeth, she lounged back forward.
(Please correct me if I am wrong!)
HP: 19/25
Initial Attack: 10
Defense 1d4+1= 4
10-4= 6 damage taken

Tatath Defending Against Iachixth
HIT!
----
Tatath felt only slightly bad about attacking the weyrling but orders were orders. However, she harbored no feelings towards the gold except resentment. When Iachixth defended Nimith, Tatath hissed at the attack and did her best to dodge, sweeping her tail around her trying to clear the area.
You naive little fool. Your dreams will fail and your rider will fall. We were only trying to offer you the better solution.
She grimaced at the hit, feeling more pain with her rider took the blade. Canoake!
HP: 45/50
Initial Attack: 9
Defense is 1d6+2=4
Damage Taken=5

A'nos - Attacking C'tis
HP: 21/30
Attack: 1d6+2 (+3 blade)
Accuracy: -3
Damage: 3 + 2 + 3 = 8
He didn't have time to do much but A'nos managed to bring an arm up so that the vicious whip struck that instead of his face. He cried out in pain as the barbed weapon coiled around his limb but managed to grab hold of it and yank it, pulling its wielder in range of his dagger. "How can you live under them, serving like a dog?" he snapped, even now keeping up the dance of acting the part of a good wherholder.

30/30
Attack: 1d6+2 (+3 blade)
Accuracy: -3
Damage: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10
Oh great, so of the targets left right up front he got the old guy with a cane. This was just his luck. "Look just... go down would you?" he muttered awkwardly, making a vague slash at the man with bright red hair.
Ficksk screeched her fury as she caught sight of the combat and put on a final burst of speed. Her bondmate! He needed her! Danger!

Suunath's call pulled her from her restless sleep. Rochelle spoke to her quietly as she slept, too far away from her rider to do more than occassionally doze. Mal and C'tis went off on their own but Suunath - Kibeth's head jerked up, her eyes as bright red as parts of her hide. The crimson screamed fury across the Weyr and launched herself in the air to blink between.
All she saw was blue, the familar spotted hide of Malcarreth. He attacked a gold, pale, not the fierce angry ones that called to her or bit at greenriders, but the one Not Trine.
Enemy.
Enemy
Give her back to me! Give her back to me before I rend your hearts to shreds with your teeth you disgusting whersacks of pus! Her mindvoice filled itself with rage, thick and full of hate, eyes bright and snarling. They had two seconds.

Nimith - Attacking Tatath
HP: 48/55
Attack: 2d4+1 (weyrling)
Accuracy - 6
Miss!
---
Iachixth's intervention was a timely one. Shaken but not gravely hurt, Nimith shook himself off and immediately bounced back, darting and lunging as best he could beneath the feet of the larger dragons.
Careful, Nim! Just back off - don't get yourself hurt!
I'm all right, C'ross. More shaken than injured. It was the first time that the little weyrling had experienced genuine pain in his short life; he was entitled to a moment of vulnerability. His teeth and claws could still find no purchase in Tatath's hide, but he was gamely trying nonetheless.

Bereck - Attacking Fick
HP: 25/35 - 10 = 15/35 (I imposed an HP penalty, because he's kinda beat up already)
Attack: 1d6+2 (+3 blade)
Accuracy: -3
Damage: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10
Maybe waiting to draw his weapon hadn't been so bright, the brown skinned man's knife slashed across the front of his left shoulder before he could move. He couldn't run, he knew his leg wouldn't take that, and so he was stuck here. He'd hoped he would never have to use Alina's gift, but he was sharding glad he had it.
The healer hissed between his teeth, grasped his cane by the head and the shaft and twisted. The hidden blade slide free without so much as a whisper, and casting aside the main bulk of the cane Bereck lunged wildly with the foot or so of gleaming steel he now grasped by its slightly awkward hilt. This had never been designed as a serious combat weapon and it showed, but it was better than nothing.

S'dekai and Pioth - Defending Natai and Iachixth
Oh, shells. Words weren't going to do a thing, were they? It was far too late for that - far too late to express his objections to attacking noncombatants and weyrlings and crippled healers. Breaking away from the dueling wherholders and Trine riders, S'dekai wove his way through the growing chaos to Natai's side. He wasn't armed, but he could still stand between her and the rest, alert and wary.
"What do you need me to do?"
Pioth likewise moved to Iachixth's side, a growl thundering in his chest as he took up a place there. He made no move to attack Tatath yet - not unless she struck him first - but he bristled protectively over the young gold.

Z'fer
Suunath comes. Calanoth appeared over the fighting group with a scream of rage. It was chaos beneath him and he had to circle before he could find a place to land. He wouldn't make the mistake of fighting with Z'fer on his back again. To the Trine dragons gathered already Calanoth bugled. Suunath brings reinforcements!
Z'fer's lip curled. Ralla... That little s**t who dared attack him at his own home was now harassing Aerith. Focus on Firith. Get her off Aerith!
Ja'kki
In a singsong voice Emerath trilled, appearing just after Calanoth. We come to fight~! The green didn't bother circling before she divebombed the group, buzzing overhead and using her small size to avoid any initial attacks before she could drop off Ja'kki.
Dizzian
Suunath calls for aid! The negotiations must have broken down Dizzian. There's trouble.
You're not serious? Courath we can't go fight!
And why not? You have trained. Together we are strong and we are not alone. Dizzianmine, they need us there. There are weyrlings, and Iachixth and hers may be in danger.
Dizzian was already tugging her boots on, her chest tight with fear. She didn't want to go but Courath was right. She didn't want to fight, but she couldn't avoid everything she didn't want to do. She fought thread afterall, and she didn't want to do that either. This wasn't the same though. This was people and riders just like her.
We go to protect, not to attack.

Kindra
Kindra and Suunath observed the scene below them as they burst from Between Suunath's first instinct was to attack the enemy Gold but Kindra saw that both the white Aerith and the young weyrling (what the shaff were they even doing here in the first place) were under attack, they were the priority as it seemed Iachixth and the others had back-up. Even that oversized Green was joining the fray, Kindra felt a pang of concern for her rider, she knew he would struggle in this situation.
Suunath screamed as they came into the air above the fighting COWARDS, TUNNELSNAKES! she roared, diving down to allow Kindra to dismount YOU ATTACK THE WEAKER YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN THE HERDBEASTS I TEAR UNDER MY CLAWS! she raged, almost beside herself as she watched her sister Gold fighting, spying Ceph's hatchling being attacked..... they would PAY for that, pay dearly. She was eager to feel the ichor stain her claws but first she had to land and let Kindra down.

Natai - Yeah, she wishes she could fight
S'dekai.
She'd met him only once before, like so many faces here, but she'd felt him the sort she could depend on at least to not try and kill her. Relief flooded her regardless, one slim hand darting to grab his wrist in a tight hold. Her wide eyes were the only part of her face that gave away her fear.
"Don't let them catch you. Let no one take this-" Natai used her other hand to push a small crumpled map at him, her whispers harsh and only for the bronzerider. "-If Pioth needs a picture, he may look into my head but that is a map with coordinates. If Iachixth and I flee, we will be there. If they attack the Hold, everyone in there is armed and angry, they'll defend themselves. I'm trusting you, s'dekai. Don't betray that."

C'ross - Attacking Canoake
HP: 25/25
Attack: 1d6+4 (bladed)
Accuracy - 3
4+4 = 8 damage
---
While Nimith danced precariously beneath the claws of the larger dragons, C'ross kept up the vicious assault on the rider. Closing in, he slashed again with the knife - not quite so forcefully as his first strike, powered by his dragon's need as it had been. But a solid hit nonetheless.
"Tell your dragon to back off or I'll send you both between."
