They were close... So close.
According to the reports, Trailing edge was but a few miles away. Just a few more minutes, and it would all be over.
But darkness still made things complicated, and with K'vah and Nyenyezith sill struggling with their guilt at downing a wingmate--the pair found themselves caught off guard when a sudden gust pushed them well of course. The poor blue was too tired, too weak, to fight against it... He tried to hope Between, away from a patch of Thread, but when they re-appeared, they overshot and found themselves in the heart of a nasty sheet.
Nyenyezith squealed in pain, even as K'vah tried desperately to think of coordinates. But the silver tangle had caught the man's leg, and the pain was too great. Before he knew it, his blue's wings could no longer keep them aloft and they dropped hard and fast.
He clung to his blue...but the pain of Thread devouring them both was too great, and darkness gripped him.

1. Critical Failure! The wind changes, and you find yourself blown right into the sheet! You hop Between, but miss your mark, and appear directly inside the writhing mass of silver. Major Damage: -10 HP
2. If you're a green or blue under 30', you're able to successfully twist out of the way, flaming on the way down! You roar in triumph as you turn part of the sheet into harmless ash. +1 Agility If you're a blue 30' or larger, a brown, or a bronze, you're not able to get out harm's way and take a direct hit! Moderate Damage: -7 HP
3. You're able to Between above the sheet, but it's too far to actually flame. Your wingmates below are going to have to take care of it!
4. If you're a green or blue under 30', you go to flame the sheet, but find yourself blown into the Thread cloud by an errant gust! Moderate Damage: -5 HP If you're a blue 30' or over, brown, or bronze, you're able to catch the sheet with a long burst of flame! +2 Flame Length

It wasn't long before Pravdath shook off his lethargy for their final stretch in the skies. The thread was quickly being taken care of completely, but there were still impressive strands dropping every so often. The blue flamed a few of them down before darting in and taking care of a clump that was headed right for another member of his wing.

This time, they could properly appreciate the newly impressive length of Pravdath's flame. It was definitely not the firestone.

Pravdath felt the Thread before he quite knew what it was, which was strange considering where they were. Maybe he had just never experienced a Thread caress before this moment. M'llin directed them Between, making sure his blue was okay to continue once they were back in formation.

After doing so well with his last dose of firestone, Pravdath asked for another handful of pieces, chewing with a little less care than he should have.
M'llin's eyes widened when he felt a sharp shared pain from the blue.

All Queens were doing what they could do to help others. Nyaranau gritted her teeth, offering her strength and determination to her dragon. Mictecath flew on, but a sharp, ringing squeal caught her attention. Her hearts paused a little, then squeezed, tightening in pain and worry. {Nyenyezith! No!} More of her clutchmates placed in harm's way... She was going to save him, protect them all against the evils of Thread!
She flew so fast even Nya needed to be careful, holding on. However, she didn't realise her dragon's desperation would lead her to position in a rush, and Mic creeled loudly as her beloved blue sibling hit her back. She steadied herself, only by the virtue of his size and lack of bulk... Had he been a bronze... She shuddered to imagine.
/Back to the bowl my sweet. They need help urgently./
Mictecath kept the panic at bay, grey and yellow at war within her eyes. Those ever shifting pools of colour betrayed the desperation clawing at her heart, and she creeled soft to herself- like a sad but gentle lullaby- as she returned her sweet sibling to the safety of the healers.

Pellereth cried out to another wingmate, as a fallen clump suddenly took a turn and almost fell on them -- but thankfully there was enough time for them to move out of harm’s way safely, and be able to sear it down.

A stupid error, but an error all the same, as wind pushed them away from a tangle of thread they had their eyes on -- only to end up in the middle of it instead of before it. Snarling in pain, I’lin’s mental grasp on Pellereth is tight as he urges Pellereth between once more.

Blasted all! As you jump Between to avoid a clump of Thread, the winds change, and when you appear from the icey depths, it's right into a major sheet of Thread! Heavy Damage: -8 HP! They also now suffer a Painful status for the next 3 turns. This will negate any XP gained, and cause double damage if the prompt includes damage (or has you roll for damage).
Another stupid mistake, and this one ended up being costly. The wind changed once more, as they appeared back from between, only to find themselves in the middle of another tangle. It bit and sank in, as I’lin urged his dragon once more into the void -- and the horror as there was but little energy in Pellereth to emerge once more.
His wings shook, not quite flapping in unison as he teetered in mid-air -- his last thoughts of Leucath and her ledge of soft things and warm cuddles. A good, soft thought before the darkness enveloped him, and the bronze dropped like a stone.

{b]Niobet and Aedeth - flying to catch I'lin and Pellereth
It didn't seem to matter the color of their hides or how big or small the dragons were. Threadfall was determined to knock as many of them out of the sky tonight as it could.
Quote:
An absolute success! The catch couldn't go better than planned! Even if the dragon is larger than you, your practice during drills all come together. You know the proper way to fly with such precious cargo, and immediately go back to the Weyr to deliver them safetly into the Healer's care.
This wasn't a lesson either Niobet or Aedeth wanted to have learned, and yet, they'd figured out the best way to compensate for the wind and the speed at which most of the dragons fell. Aedeth caught Pellereth with some grace, and rumbled a low, satisfied sound before turning to carry him and his rider back to the Weyr. The healers were waiting and ready and waiting for what was to come.

One bronze, safely delivered and tucked into the healers' hands with his rider, for you.

Even though they were this close to the end, it wasn't getting any easier. The Aces were still being buffeted just as hard as the rest of them, and R'aum was glad he'd done an extra check on his straps earlier today--if they'd been loose or even the slightest bit off, it would have spelled disaster for the both of them. Modrioth's serpentine grace served him well even in spite of the wind, and although he was being pushed back along with the rest of his wing, he twisted just so, giving himself the perfect opportunity to flame a patch of thread that had gotten dangerously close to one of his wingmates. He would not see another fall--they were too close to give up now.

R'aum had turned his head just in time to notice the thick sheet swinging toward them, a silent threat that might have gone completely unseen were it not for the bursts of light from his wingmates' flames. Modrioth sent them between without a second thought, and R'aum had to remind himself not to grip his straps so tightly in the brief reprieve they were given--he was still prying his hands off by the time they reappeared, but the sheet had fallen faster than they'd thought in the meantime. Someone else down below would have to catch it--hopefully they'd be able to see it before it was too late.
