Round 4 - Day 1 - Roll 1: General Grid
Brown Hessianth: 14/14 hp
Held saves: 0
Quote: It's a classic textbook maneuver. An ugly strand of Thread is falling down, drifting, blowing, squirming on the wind. If it stays course it will put it right in your airspace. Your dragon shifts position, veers, and manages to catch the tangle with a belch of flame. Nothing to this Thread thing, nope!
Everybody was still in the air for now, but as brother changed for brother to take up responsibility for everybody, Hessianth couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation. He needs to learn to watch himself first, he informed L'nik privately and his rider thumped his shoulder. He learned his lesson and if he didn't, we will see, though he had the feeling that nearly getting hit several times would have cooled off that pair just a bit.
Hessianth's distaste was talking, that was all. As long as L'nik could keep his mind of his own from going wherever it pleased and on focus, they would do well together. This flaming thing was getting a little easier as they went, but L'nik couldn't help but start longing for the ground.

Round 4 - Day 1 - Roll 2: General Grid
Brown Hessianth: 14/14 hp
Held saves: 0
Quote: Your dragon spots a silver strand of Thread. You visualize the space you need to go to flame it, but don't take into account the wind, or your dragon's flight speed. Instead, you appear Between but have completely overshot your airspace and are now out in the open, exposed, and with no Thread anywhere near you. Shaffit all! Don't you look the fool. Whoops
It was keeping Hessianth focused as L'nik;s mental exhaustion started to creep in that was the problem. The brown was eager to watch over all of his siblings as though certain that no others would, and even when urged elsewhere, Hessianth just was starting to feel the droop kicking in. When that sent them off target, L'nik slapped his hands against his cheeks to try and perk himself up. I'm telling Therianth that we both lost our gusto if we don't pick up! Of course, this meant telling Shahera that as well and as such he wasn't really planning on it, but the threat to perk-up seemed to at least alarm Hessianth into a bit better awareness.
We'll be home before we know it, let's hold out.

Round 4 / Day 1 / Roll 1: Standard Grid
Blue Loreleth: 5/12 HP
Held saves: 0
They two came out of the cold of Between.... directly into a clump of Thread. J'lar was both terrified, exasperated, and concerned as once again, the silver Thread tangled and twisted around them. Loreleth's pained squeal echoed in his mind, along with the burning, tearing pain. It was close to agony, but he pictured a spot out of the tangle, and urged his beloved to make the leap.
In another moment, the two were gone...
Only to reappear higher up. The blue dragon was once more stained with ichor. Parts of his wingsails were now tattered and frayed, and his neck, face, and shoulders were more green than blue. Still, the blue dragon's eye had not been damaged, though his cheek and and throat looked frayed.
"You okay?" J'lar croaked, leaning down and over, wanting to get a better look but limited from where he sat. He brushed at his own pants and shoulders, ignoring the renewed pain in his leg, back, and shoulder. He wondered if they should go back but... didn't feel like he was being eaten alive. That was probably just as well, really. If Thread had wormed its way in, he was a goner anyway.... No, he could go on.
The question was whether or not Loreleth could?
The blue dragon's eyes were a mix of yellow-white. I...will be okay, Mine. I promise. It... it is okay. The blue didn't want to return to the Weyr and leave his fellows. He hurt, but he could, and would, work with the pain. He wanted to be as strong as all of them, as strong as his rider; he wouldn't betray them, wouldn't leave before he absolutely had to.
Still...Another bad hit and J'lar wasn't sure Loreleth's constitution could take it. But, he wasn't going to push. Not... Not yet.

Round 4 / Day 1 / Roll 1: General Grid
Blue Tinanath: 12/12 HP Acting Wingsecond
Held saves: 0
Quote: 5. It's a classic textbook maneuver. An ugly strand of Thread is falling down, drifting, blowing, squirming on the wind. If it stays course it will put it right in your airspace. Your dragon shifts position, veers, and manages to catch the tangle with a belch of flame. Nothing to this Thread thing, nope!
Before Savaceth had even finshed her words, Tinanath darted up to replace Illiandinth at the head of the formation. He already knew what her request was, ignoring her commanding tone. I thank you for the opportunity to prove myself as a leader, he told the green, then to Ph'ton he said, I knew it was only a matter of time! We shall show them what we can do! His words were filled with more than his usual pride. He'd outdo his brothers at this, easily!
We still gotta pay attention! Ph'ton's eyes scanned the sky and spotted a tangle of Thread drifting on the wind toward them. There! he pointed, and Tinanath wheeled out of position, intercepting it and flaming it with an almost casual belch, as if charring Thread was something he'd done his entire life.
See, Mine? There's nothing to it! I was born and bred to do this.
Ph'ton shook his head. It's still dangerous! We still have to pay attention! he admonished the blue Lich. He wasn't about to let Tinanath's healthy ego get them killed!

Round 4 / Day 1 / Roll 3: General Grid
Blue Tinanath: 6/12 HP Acting Wingsecond
Held saves: 0
Quote: 1. You appear from Between..... directly into a clump of Thread. It sears through your dragons wingsails, and you can feel it tangling up on your leg! The wherhide fabric doesn't seem to offer any protection at all, shaffit all! You finally remember to visualize and go Between, but you're certainly hurting. -5 HP Threadscore.
Another clump of Thread appeared in the distance, twisting and writhing on the wind I'm on it! Tinanath informed his siblings, and jumped Between to pursue it before Ph'ton could visualize the Thread's location. "Wait-" the young dragonrider started before the void of Between took his words. They emerged from Between -- right in the middle of the clump!
Tinanath shrieked as the silver Thread tore through his wingsails. As his dragon's agony washed over him, Ph'ton felt a searing pain in his leg. Thread had eaten through his wherhide leathers! "BETWEEN! BETWEEN!" he screamed at Tinanath, and after what felt like an eternity they blinked into the blackness.
One… two… three…
They emerged well away from the deadly silver menace, and Ph'ton caught his breath. His leg was burning with pain, and he could tell by Tinanath's silence that the blue wasn't feeling so fantastic either. Ph'ton refrained from saying I told you to pay attention -- he didn't need to. Resuming their position in the formation, he hoped Tinanath would take this as a lesson in setting a bad example for the rest of the weyrling wing.
