1 - The wind picks it up flings it away. The stone hits another rider on the head. Feel free to quote someone and let them know!
2-5 - The throw is too light your dragon has to quickly turn to try and get it, jarring you in your straps. (2 - 4 you miss, 5 he get it)
5-12 - An almost perfect throw. Only a little wide and your dragon is able to adjust in time to hit the stone.
13-16 - You and your dragon are working in tandem perfectly and the stone lands on the dragon’s nose. This is easy!
17-19 - The wind picks it up flings it away. The stone hits another rider on the head. Feel free to quote someone and let them know!

7 -17 - An almost perfect throw. Only a little wide and your dragon is able to adjust in time to hit the stone.

It was a blustery day with rain threatening overhead. The winds were difficult to predict which was perfect for the upcoming exercise. “All right everyone,” P’kav called out to the gathered wing, “we will be practicing your aim today. You each have a bag of stones. These are not firestone, do not let your dragon eat them while you are up there. The goal is to hit your dragon on the snout each time. This will require coordination between you and the dragon to overcome the winds up there.” He pointed to the sky. “It is poor conditions but without the stress of Thread. I am sure you all will do wonderfully.” With that he swung up onto Dharmath with his own bag of stone and gave the command to start.

E'nd of Bronze Fadeth
Hits: 1
Misses:

It was a windy day as E’nd pulled his curly hair back from whipping across his face before picking up the bag of stones. Fadeth gave it a dubious look before snorting some sort of disapproval of having to participate in the drill then spending their time giving pointers to the younger ones.

He gave the bronze a pat on the shoulder before they took off.

It took a moment for them to get settled in the air before E’nd threw their first stone, a little larger then he had intended and a little wide but Fadeth managed to adjust to hit it.

So far so good, they weren’t perfect but they at least had accomplished it as E’nd dug into the bag for the next stone. Tossing it up it was wide, too wide as it bumped off the nose of a green dragon as he made a cringing but apologetic face.

The next stone let loose from E’nd’s hand just as he realized how large it really was as Fadeth lunged to follow after it. Despite how high he had thrown it the stone slowed, slowly arcing as gravity began to pull it back in their direction with a fearful look on the rider’s face.

”Don’t, let it fall! He yelled giving Fadeth just enough time to swerve out of the way as the heavy stone fell to the ground.

Tsuyat of Bronze Yudueth
Hits: 1
Misses: 0

P'kav wasn't joking about the wind at all, it knocked Yudueth off just a tad with his takeoff, his wings spreading wide to catch the buffet and get them to a good height before they could even begin the exercise. Shaking himself in a way that had Tsuyat clinging to his straps in the face of the move, which honestly felt a bit deliberate given their current state of bond, he picked a stone from the bag and tossed it towards the bronze's nose almost in retaliation. Given how quickly and abruptly he'd tossed it, the rider hadn't taken into consideration the weight or size of it and the stone soared too short, forcing Yudueth to make another motion that jarred him nearly out of his straps entirely. But he got it, which was really all that mattered.

Pay attention, would you?

Eyes rolling at his dragon, Tsuyat actually took a bit of care to find a smaller rock this time and tossed it into the air towards Yudueth's nose. It would have been a rather decent toss if the wind hadn't pulled them a bit to the side, forcing it to go wide. Luckily it hadn't swung out so wide that the dragon would miss it and it simply required a roll and stretch motion to get in position for it to bounce off his nose. Wrinkling it up a bit and snorting in indignation of a type, the bronze continued his roll and dropped down just a bit to avoid another gust of wind. So far so good?

Or so he had thought at least, so they both had. Just after they'd been finding a bit of rhythm to make up for all the bickering they'd been doing the past month the smaller stone that Tsuyat grabbed was whisked away by the wind the moment he tossed it. No matter how acrobatic Yudueth tended to be there was no way that the rider nearby would avoid it. Head's up! the bronze warned moments before it cracked into the side of one of their wingmate's heads.

"Sorry about that! Sorry!" Tsuyat bellowed into the wind the best that he could, hoping if it carried the stone it would carry his voice. Well it didn't pay to be confident at all then...

Tsuyat of Bronze Yudueth

A larger stone at least, this time, not by much... Tsuyat carefully tossed it forward and groaned when it slung just a tad too wide once more. One of these times he was going to have a perfect throw, for the time being he could only hold onto the straps as Yudueth twisted to bounce it from his nose.

Onasta of Brown Jibasth
Hits: 1
Misses: 0

Maybe it was because Jibasth was just a big brown all around, or that she'd been working with him for almost 17 turns now, but Onasta and her beloved giant didn't have a single issue as they kicked off and sidled into position for the flight exercise on such a blustery day. No matter how the wind roared or buffeted at them, the sturdy brown dragon simply adjusted the muscles of his wings to compensate.

So it was that when she tossed her very first stone it landed square on his nose as it should have without a single miss. Grinning despite herself, Onasta was about to grab another when a rock whanged the side of her head rather abruptly and left her icy eyes crossed for a moment. Yudueth said 'head's up.' Jibasth reported just as she could hear the barest of apologies over the loud roar of wind.

"Thank you for that warning now dear one." she responded, waving back to her wingsecond before rubbing at the spot on her head. Thank goodness it hadn't been a very large rock!

Onasta of Brown Jibasth
Hits: 2
Misses: 0

Shaking her head to clear it a bit after being soundly knocked in the head by a stone, albeit a small one, Onasta grabbed a bit larger stone to ensure the same didn't happen to the two of them. When she tossed it she instantly had regrets about the trajectory as it swung out wide despite herself, but with a bugle Jibasth was able to catch the thing on the end of his broad nose with a quick movement. Catching the bright blue of his eyes that seemed to be dancing in amusement despite the throb in her head, the redhead couldn't help but feel accomplished and her spirits rose along with his.
