For a few improbably moments, there was no Thread in their airpsace, and M'yk and Dobrokhoth took that precious time to breathe and get ready for when the brief little interlude would end.

The wind gusted once more, and try as he might, Dobrokhoth was tired, and it blew him out of formation...and into a clump of Thread. He honked in alarm as it started to chew on his leg, and M'yk quickly took him Between before any major damage could be done.

They were so close...just a little longer now! Though neither Nadry nor Menankith would ever have traded their duty for anything, they would be glad when it was finally done for the night, and they could return to their loved ones. This had felt like an especially long Fall.
Dragon Damage Notes: Deep Wound to Right Hip & Tail Base // Bitten Tongue // Extensive left shoulder, left side of neck, partial wingsail; light tail tip damage; severe fire damage on chest and right foreleg from wingmate. Moderate hole in the middle of his left wingsail; moderate Thread damage to his right forelimb
Rider Damage Notes: A burn from the heat of a wingmates flame on he right leg.

The wind is strong and trying hard to buffet you. If brown or bronze you see one of your wingmates struggling against the wind. They're getting blown out of their empty airspace, and dangerously close to a patch of Thread! You are able to twist and accurately flame down the clump they were going to fly into, saving them from Threadscore! Quote a Wingmate that took Threadfall Damage and nullify it! You saved them from the pain! +1 Flame Length
Venandith was ready. Though he was certainly wasn't in the best health--and Zyamel was well aware he'd need rest and tending to his injuries come morning--that was neither here nor there. He was still capable of flight, and his flame still burned hot.
In fact, the brown dragon was able to help out a fellow wingmate, and charred some of the threat well-before they were hurt! Too many were getting injured, and the brown was glad to be able to help those most in need.

Twisting, turning, and diving both Venandith and Zyamel were focused. So many dragons had already fallen, and she had no idea how Marty had fared down below. Though trailing edge was close, one couldn't let their guard down.
How many wingmates had fallen? How many of Venandith's clutchmates and her fellow weyrlings?
But the two continued to persevere... Pain be damned, they would finish this!

The brown dragon had clearly found his second wind... nevermind that it was so late in the game. Perhaps it was because their numbers were seriously in trouble. Dragons seemed to be crashing down around them... but Thread still needed to be taken down and taken out. He would help carry the load, no matter how hard his wings and body ached.

Onward, the pair continued to fight. They would not give up, they would not surrender. Zyamel continued to send love, encouragement, and affection to her beast of a brown. They would get through this. They would persevere. Trailing edge was close--so close--it would all be over soon.

K'vah felt numb.
He couldn't believe what they'd done... Couldn't believe that they had taken down one of their own. He could hardly focus on what was going around him, and he literally felt sick. Even Nyenyezith had nothing to say--shock and guilt had gripped the blue.
Though his blue acted purely out of instinct, flaming down the tangle of Threads that he could, they could hardly believe what they had done.

The thread is thick and coming down fast. Unlike the lower wings, you don't have to chase this Thread around -- it's just about everywhere you turn! This is what your dragon was made for, this is what you, as a rider, were meant to do. Burn down those Threads so they are no longer a threat to your wingmates and the people of Pern! Your dragon flames a patch ahead of them, clearing some airspace for your wingmates below. +1 Flame Length
The man tried to shake himself out of it. He would risk more than just himself and Nyenyezith if he wasn't able to pay attention, and up this high, he had no choice. Thread was everywhere.
It was an accident... Surely, they...they will understand? Nyenyezith sent all the love and support to His that he could, and while the two comforted one another--there was no way that either could know what would happen.
What did it matter that they swept up and burned Thread? That same fire had brought down a bronze.

You take a direct hit from Thread! The question is, where!? Roll a D4
1. This tangles up on your dragon's tail and foot. You immediately blink Between, with the injury hurting your dragon, but not enough to slow you down. Light Damage - 2 HP
The distraction--the guilt--was enough to cause both rider and dragon to make yet another mistake. So focused on flaming down one patch, they didn't see the tangle that ensnared them both. Nyenyezith gave a bugle of alarm and pain--even as K'vah cursed.
A trip Between stopped the damage from being worse, but by the time they reappeared, Nyenyezith trembled as he flew. K'vah could tell his blue was hurting... But surely, the pain was penance.
Let me at least finish, where Meigth could not. The dragon creeled, pleading with His. They were so close... they could do it. They already left an opening in the Wing--surely, staying the course was the least they could do.

1. This tangles up on your dragon's tail and foot. You immediately blink Between, with the injury hurting your dragon, but not enough to slow you down. Light Damage - 2 HP
2. This hits your dragon's face and eye! Your beast screeches in pain, and hops immediately back to the Weyr. Moderate Damage -5 HP It's up to you on how much face damage it does. If their eye is okay, they can return to their Wing. If there's eye damage, or possible worse damage than listed, have them land to get checked by a healer.
3. The Threadfall hits your leg and your dragon's shoulder! It burns in deep, but your cries of pain can't be heard in the cold of Between. Moderate Damage: -6 HP
4. Thread hits your leg and side, as well as your dragon's back and shoulders. Though you immediately jump between, some of the Thread is partially protected by your riding gear. As you return from its cold, and continue on the fight, it takes a moment to realize the wriggling Thread has eaten through your clothes, and is starting to burrow into you!!! GET BACK BETWEEN AND BACK TO THE WEYR TO BE DUNKED! Major Damage: -12 HP Your next post must be with the healers so you can get dunked into the pools, in hopes of drowning the borrowing Thread. Death is also an option.

This is such a mess! Thread is everywhere. The High Altitude Wing is always in the thick of it, and today is no exception.
If you are a green, or blue smaller than 30' you're easily able twist and wheel out of the way of the thick clumps. Instead, you're able to flame down a patch of Thread threatening your wingmates, and what a burst of flame it is! Quote a Wingmate who took Thread Damage and nullify it for this Round! +2 Flame Length
Though he was shakey, and hurting, Nyenyezith continued to fight. K'vah wished to ease his blue's pain, but all he could do was encourage him on. It would all be over soon...
The blue dragon twisted and turned, and was able to flame down a patch that threatened a wingmate. See? They were useful. They... They could do their duty without being a threat! And oh, how the blue knew he would need to prove himself all the more for his mistakes.
