Aryale of Green Yaguareth
Stats
Distraction/Intensity: 3
Exhaustion/Alertness: 4 -1! (So is now 3 lmao)
Memorization/Visualization: 4
Anxiety/Confidence: 4 Took a scare! -1! (Now is 3)
Slacker/Studious: 5
Grid 3 - Hard Difficulty Level
1. Waters Edge Cothold (Cothold beholden to Black Sands Hold)
2. Oasis Hold (Minor Hold beholden to Rivercrest Hold)
3. Stoney Tower Hold (Minor Hold beholden to Redoubt Hold)
4. Green Plains Cothold (Cothold beholden to White Cliff Weyrhold)
5. Western Weyr
It took a while to gather her heart back up, Yaguareth offering nothing but the endless support and love that she had since the beginning and would until the end. And the end has long to wait for us, my love. Trust. Yaguareth was like a steel trap and ever so composed in this time.
Aryale took some of it for herself, picturing their next leap.
Quote: Success and Failure! If this is your third or fourth or fifth roll, and you have an Exhaustion level of 1 or a Distraction level of 2 or 3, or Confidence of 3 or 4, or a Studious level of 4 or 5 you find yourself lost Between. Whoops! Maybe you were getting too sloppy or the coordinates too complex, or maybe you just studied the wrong thing or confused it with another Hold. Either way, you're out... unless you get some help.
If you have an exhaustion level of 4 or 5 at any time while on this grid and at this roll, you find yourself getting sleepy and will lose one Exhaustion level for the duration of the game. Everyone else is good to go!
Maybe it was the surprise from their last jump, but Aryale suddenly couldn't picture the next Hold at all. Biting her lower lip, Aryale leaned into Yaguareth. Could you.....ask one of the older riders for me real quick? she asked, more than embarrassed. Yaguareth saw no reason to be - and instead took pride in that Hers put their safety over their pride.

Sorsha of Gold Leoth
Stats:
Distraction/Intensity: 3
Exhaustion/Alertness: 4
Memorization/Visualization: 5
Anxiety/Confidence: 3
Slacker/Studious: 4
REROLL USED: 0 AVAILABLE: 1
Sevenday 3: Grid 2
1. Courtesan Hall
2. Redoubt Hold
3. Paradise Falls Hold
4. Sand's End Hold (Minor Hold beholden to Western Hold)
5. Western Weyr
Sorsha grinned and patted Leoth's neck. "Let's go home..."
Quote: 2-4: Success & Failure! If this is your fourth or fifth roll, and you happen to have a Distraction/Intensity level of 5, your certainty of the coordinates winds up being your downfall. You didn't account for the placement of the sun and you wind up lost Between. If you have an exhaustion level of 1 or 2, you botch your coordinates due to the drain. If your Memorization/Visualization skills are 3 or less, you botch remembering the exact placement and wind up lost--unless you check your coordinates.
"...After I doublecheck those coordinates, just to be sure..."
She'd had them right this time, and felt a little silly for having Leoth doublecheck things yet again, but she couldn't be careful enough when it came to Between. It would never do for the Weyr to lose a queen -- even though all colors were equal there, golds were still valued.
They made the jump, and blinked into the sky above Western's Weyr Bowl. "Not a bad day's work," Sorsha smiled. It could have been better... but then again, it could have been much, much worse.

The last stop was home, and Aryale wanted to think she knew what home looked like pretty well. Those she loved - that weren't Yaguareth - were there and she wanted to be there as well.
Okay. Last jump today!
Quote: Handwaving. No fail! Success and Failure!
If you have a Distraction Level of 3 or less, a Confidence Level of 2 or less, or a Memorization/Visualization of 3 or less, you fail! These smaller holds can be tricky, but are important to know, as dragon and rider can't always fly direct from a Major Hold!
Everyone else succeeds!
Are you trying to land right on top of Kleoth's? Or Bukichi? You're thinking about both of them a lot right now, Yaguareth admonished, but with love. Aryale sat up a little straighter, pulling her thoughts from the more intimate nooks and crannys of Western and it's sentimental value to the view from above.
That made home a little easier to get to, rather than the middle of some rock.

Taibbi and green Neuwith
Distraction/Intensity: 5 Exhaustion/Alertness: 3 Memorization/Visualization: 3 Anxiety/Confidence: 3 Slacker/Studious: 4
Sevenday 3, Grid 2
1. Courtesan Hall
Quote: 5-6: Mostly Success! If you have a a 3 or lower in Anxiety/Confidence levels, perhaps you needed more fear of Between because something goes wrong and you fail to return and are lost forever... unless you get your coordinates checked.
2. Redoubt Hold
3. Paradise Falls Hold
4. Sand's End Hold
5. Western Weyr
So they were running the same series of jumps again, but both Neuwith and Taibbi had agreed it was the right choice. They had not fared so well as they'd hoped earlier, and so now it was time to prove that their determined, almost furious studying had paid off.
We will be great, Neuwith assured Taibbi. You know these coordinates backward, forward, and all the other directions.
Taibbi swallowed hard. As long as I get them the right way around on the first try, that's all that matters. Backward would probably be bad.
Neuwith took a moment to consider, and then answered, That's true. So we'll just do them forward then, as usual.
Right... Taibbi agreed. Even so, she requested a coordinate check before they left, ignoring her dragon's baffled exclamations. She didn't want to end up lost.

Taibbi and green Neuwith
Distraction/Intensity: 5 Exhaustion/Alertness: 3 - 1 = 2Memorization/Visualization: 3 Anxiety/Confidence: 3 Slacker/Studious: 4
Sevenday 3, Grid 2
1. Courtesan Hall
Quote: 5-6: Mostly Success! If you have a a 3 or lower in Anxiety/Confidence levels, perhaps you needed more fear of Between because something goes wrong and you fail to return and are lost forever... unless you get your coordinates checked.
2. Redoubt Hold
Quote: 2-4: Success & Failure! If this is your second or third roll, if your Exhaustion Level of 3 or higher is going to be reduced by one for the rest of your rolls. i.e. If you had them down as a 5, they are now feeling like a 4. All future rolls will be based on this number until you finish the game. If you had them as a 4, they are now down to a 3, and if you had them as a 3 they are now down to a 2. You are feeling mentally exhausted!
3. Paradise Falls Hold
4. Sand's End Hold
5. Western Weyr
You probably didn't need to do that, Neuwith chided Taibbi as they appeared above Courtesan Hall.
Maybe, Taibbi agreed, though privately she was certain that, were it not for checking the coordinates, things would have gone badly awry for them. But we're here, aren't we? That's the important thing.
Neuwith agreed and flew a zippy circle around the Hall while Taibbi worked to fix Redoubt Hold in her mind. It was there. She knew it was, but focusing on how nearly she had killed them both before made it harder to hold the coordinates in her mind, and she agonized over passing them along to Neuwith.
What if she was wrong?
