Le'x and brown Kratoth
After Yisketh's coordinates appeared clearly in their minds, Le'x and Kratoth joined their wingmates in the air and jumped Between. They burst out into the crisp mountain air, Le'x almost stunned by the sight of the peaks and valleys around them. It was nothing he hadn't seen before while flying over High Reaches, but the suddeness of it was just breathtaking.
They landed and listened to their Wingleader’s directions, Le’x feeling a pang of disappointment that he and Kratoth would not be working together for most of this particular drill. I am already strong, Kratoth rumbled. You and the other riders need your strength, too.
I know. I’ll do my best. With that, Le’x undid his straps, slid down from his brown’s back, and began jogging. He was a bit slower than several of the others, but after all the running he’d done during Kar’s hunts back in the day, he well knew how to pace himself.

With the coordinates in Amroth's mind from his clutch brother, the pair took to the sky with the rest of their wingmates. D;cimus was quite throughout the trip there, paying attention to those around him even as he slid out of the straps upon Amroth's back. The large man soon began to jog through the course that was laid out before them. With K'ienn near the head of the group, D'cimus was a bit more near the back. It was harder for the large man to run fast for long distances, he had always paced himself at a slower rate then everyone else. At least from here he could make sure none of his wingmates got hurt.
Most of his riders seemed to be starting off this drill a bit slower than he’d expected, but K’ienn assumed they were wisely taking the time to get a feel for the course. He hadn’t told them how long it would be, and there was still quite a ways to go. Pacing would be a key factor. Taking Yisketh up to get a good view, he flew overhead toward the next stretch of the blue-flagged path.
The trail leads up into the edges of the forest. Still pretty rocky. Whew, that’s gonna be a climb!

Le’x strong legs powered him up the rocky incline, his nimble feet finding stable purchase without hesitation. Kratoth flew overhead, bugling his joy at his rider’s success. Keep going, Le’x! You’re off to an excellent start!

Take it nice and easy! Phaedrath urged, though she did keep herself quite out of the way and in the air. Offering emotional support wasn't helping right? Yes, yes. Thank you. I'll make sure to dirty up my clothes as little as possible for you, dear~ Alosha would never promise she'd be pristine, as she had a way of simply attracting odd ends and edges towards her. It wasn't that she was clumsy, but rather like they were trying to get her anyways.
Still, it at least appeared she was going to try a little harder, but not enough to outshine their newest face - who clearly had better legs for this sort of climbing task than she did! Hmm! Well, she had to at least be a decent second-place performance, right?
Bonuses: Dragonrider for 10 Turns - +2 Speed, +3 Dexterity Calm Head/Impossible to Rile - +3 wits (the +3 freebie? Am I doing this right?)

She wasn't at the very front of the pack of runners with her wing but Alythrae hadn't really thought she was doing so badly until they came to the incline. Rocky incline no less. Slowing down and minding the shoulder that still would twinge after the thread damage done to it, she began to make her way up the incline when her feet gave out from under her. A yelp escaped her as she landed roughly and suddenly, without much warning at all, she was rolling down to the base of the sharp hill into a pile at the bottom.
In the sky, far above but still making sure to keep her in the sight of her eye, Tarmath gave a roaring scream and was about to dive down towards her rider when she received a direct issue to stay where she was. Aly pushed herself up with her left arm and dusted her clothes off with it, tucking her right arm against her ribs as agony shot through her shoulder along the scars she kept hidden. Stopping wasn't an option, though her beloved green's voice echoed in her head, full of concern at the pain she could feel coming from the slight woman. Rather than answer, not trusting her voice, Aly waved a hand that she knew the green could see and started up the hill once more, much slower and more careful this time.
Bonuses +2 speed, +3 dexterity (dragonrider 31 turns) +4 wits (Journeyman Vinter) +3 Freebie (Has been training every day on the ground since the last Threadfall where they fell)

Though the ground tilted upward V'gar gave it no real mind, finding solid landings for each of their feet as they pushed just a bit to hop up the rocks. There were tons of riders in front of them, nearly the whole wing even though someone slid down behind them, rolling until she smacked into the ground below. Not knowing many in their wing despite having done drills since joining, the scream of a dragon above had V'gar whip around and look down below them with concern. The older rider was getting up but very painfully and slowly, waving a bit as she turned to climb the incline again. She seemed okay but they waited for her all the same, offering out one hand as she came up to them and half pulling her up to the next step.
At her thanks they simply waved, "Wing riders and all. Be safe." V'gar ground out in their gravely voice as they took off once more, gaining the ground they had lost behind the rest of the riders and hoping fervently that their wingleader wouldn't dock either themselves or the other rider for what had happened. Mistakes and all that.
Bonuses +2 speed, +3 dexterity (rider more than 5 turns) freebie bonus of +3

The terrain was starting to shift, and dirt was starting to blend more in for rocks as her path began to slope upwards. Yet K'vos kept her breathing steady, pacing herself as she kept up with her fellow wingriders -- and happy to find she wasn't running out of breath. Early on, and it would be a few candlemarks of a journey, knowing K'ienn. She could do this. From his aerial position, Slistalth sent her the warmest feeling he could muster. A gentle glow, but still enough to put a bounce in the bluerider's step for something to focus her mind on with less room for it to wander again.
Running in the middle of the pack soon turned to running a bit behind the pack as the climb began to get a bit steeper and harder to traverse. D'cimus was a strong guy, but whatever was causing this unusual slow speed of his wasn't obvious even to himself. His foot caught a rock as he continued to jog at a steady pace, stumbling for a moment.
Bonuses +3 strength (Forced Mining by Father until Searched) +2 speed, +3 dexterity (Dragonrider 5+ Turns)

The first “special” obstacle was coming up. K’ienn and Yisketh made a sweep across the sky, checking up on each rider’s progress on their way to the best view of the impending show. He hoped the dragons weren’t idly flitting about. They’d need to be paying attention if their riders were going to get to the next portion of the trail in a timely manner.
Yeeeeaaaah, that looks pretty steep to me, too. There’s an ‘X’ on a nearby treetrunk, so it’s dragons to the rescue! Quickly, hitch a ride on yours down to the edge of that river!
(NOTE: There is a chance to win bonus points in this round, based on the description of how you tackle this obstacle!)
Roll Dexterity, Speed and Bravery. Next roll will take place Wednesday 9/12/18 at 7:00 PM EST!

Well that was looking a little steep, wasn't it? Alosha was not one to miss the obviously marked tree trunk, and Phaedrath was only slightly more attentive to her beloved than she was to Yisketh's ego. Still, Alosha was not one prone to standing idly by, and she was more than happy to begin sliding down the steep path.
There isn't much footing down there, Phaedrath warned, already in the know about her rider's plans. There wouldn't be long for the woman to try and scale up the green and into her straps with decent footing. Just be ready to push off, love! she said calmly.
As expected, the green began to slide just a bit when her feet touched the soft earth, but she ducked her neck down to allow her rider to grab onto her straps, not even allowing time for her to climb up before Phaedrath had pushed off again, Alosha bracing herself between the straps and her lifemate's shoulder for footing. With a glide this close to the ground, at least, she'd be looking at perhaps some broken bones if she fell, but Alosha trusted her straps.

The next obsticle coming up caught her eye. The large X that marked their path, the big stump... and the steep hill shortly after. Yet trying to slow down her momentum could cause problems, possibly slipping, possibly tumbling down that hill. Slis dear, a little help? Yet the thought was a little alarmed.
Already on it. His brash voice was reassuring, for sure enough, the sharp blue having kept an eye on his rider--and the path ahead. He banked, crouched low as K'vos' sure footing made quick work of climbing up into her straps, and the blue took off with a great beat of his wings down to the next area.
