Coming up on the next obstacle, D'cimus wasn't as surefooted as he had been. Of course it didn't help that Amroth had been lazily moving through the sky, his whirling eyes watching the other males, stopping to linger longer onto Yisketh for a moment.
Amroth! D'cimus voice rang out to the blue as he reached the spot and it took a moment for the blue to turn and come near him, a bashful posture to him as D'cimus grabbed on. Stay focused please.

Oh but everything still hurt no matter how slowly she climbed up the incline after her fellow wingmates. Through Tarmath's eye she could see her ascent, see the younger rider that had helped her jog further up ahead, though it appeared that they were going a bit slow as well, it was odd to be able to see all of her wing running so far ahead. Chuckling almost darkly she sped up just a bit, not wanting to let down her wingleader any more than she already had and she had let him down rather thoroughly already before they even got to the top of this mountain. Slowly she crested up over the top and glanced down at the slope before her where all her wingmates had already taken off from. Alone at the top she caught sight of the large X gouged on a tree and almost instantly a rush of wind knocked her into it as her dragon landed beside her, eye swirling a worried yellow color.
Pushing herself off the tree Aly lifted an eyebrow at her dragon and laughed. "We need to make up for time lovely, I fell quite a bit behind with this shoulder. Let's get going." Grateful to Tarmath for the leg up she offered given her shoulder, Aly climbed up and strapped herself down quickly, used to doing it quickly after years of drills and training even long before Thread. With one arm incapacitated she was a little slower at it but it was no time at all before they were gliding down to catch up.

Slipping and sliding their way back up the hill, unafraid to go belly down since it wasn't as if they were at risk of hurting their riding jacket in a way that they couldn't repair, V'gar managed to scrabble their way up to the top without too many issues. A little behind because they had stopped to help another but utterly unconcerned by that as it was the right thing to do in that moment, they cast about, seeing the last of the wing who were all ahead of them gliding down the steep slope that they didn't even want to think about scaling. Eyes lighting on a large X they wandered over and knocked their knuckles against it, putting two and two together they sent the image to Ngawanth up above.
Giving a bugle the skinny green dragon slipped through the air down to them, landing smoothly laying down on the ground and instantly leaping up once they were on her back. While they wanted to strap in she was already off, trying to make up for the lost time and leaving them holding tight to the same traps, relying off of trust.

Ahh, this was entertainment! K’ienn enjoyed watching the runners make their split-second decisions, keeping a close eye on each one as they neared the steep incline. He was impressed with Alosha and Phaedrath’s smooth connection and takeoff—had the rider always been that agile?—but the moment was soured a bit when the woman didn’t get properly strapped in. Another, V’gar, was equally quick, but green Ngawanth moved too quickly—there was no time to strap in there, either. He’d have a word with both later. Recklessness was not something to be lauded—especially during a drill.
Yisketh noted his brother’s distracted gaze, and turned a quizzical look on Amroth. He was about to say something to point him back at the task at hand, but the blue’s rider caught Amroth’s attention in time to take on the obstacle. Down they went, toward the edge of the river below.
This river is slow-moving and fairly shallow, the deepest parts are about waist-high. It’s safe to wade across, but there may be slippery rocks and miry silt at the bottom.
CHOICE:
Go through the miry deep parts or Go through the slippery shallow parts
PLEASE NOTE YOUR CHOICE AS YOU ROLL, AS THE RESULT MAY EFFECT YOUR SCORE FOR THIS ROUND. Roll Stamina and Wits for either choice.
Next roll will take place Friday 9/14/18 at 7:00 PM EST!

As rider and dragon landed, Alosha took a moment to take what would be the first of her vebal lashings: We are not doing that again! What if you'd fallen? Phaedrath huffed and puffed, nudging her snout into her lifemate's chest. The young woman sighed, stroking the green's headknobs. Then why did you let me do it? Alosha's playful question was answered with a surge of frustration before the pale green launched back up into the air, circling and seemingly steaming over the whole thing.
She'd come around, however, and her gaze never left the light haired woman who was now regarding the river. The quickest way across would have been the shallows, and of course the deeper water had it's own unknown challenges as well. So, with that in mind.... Alosha chose to wade through the murky deep water. Maybe she'd find something fun with her foot!

Coming up, in a leisurely jog, on the river before them D'cimus scanned the area before deciding to just wade right through the part that was right in front of him. Being as tall as he was, the water level ended up just a little below his waist instead of right at it, it made it a bit easier for him to move through it, although it was slow going, having to fight the current as he was.

Slistalth landed on the shoreline, skidding if slightly to let K'vos down onto the ground. K'vos swings down, patting her dragon on the neck as he lifts up into the air. Stay safe, I'll still be watching.
I'm always safe with you. It's a brief, tender thought as she watches Slistalth rise back up into the air to join the rest of the dragons. K'vos turned back, eyeing the river ahead of her. It looked like there was two paths that she could see--the deeper end or the slippery-looking shallows. While she had no idea what might be in those deep ends, the thought of a possible fall in the shallows was even less exciting. So with herself trying to be as sure-footed as possible, K'vos headed into the miry deep parts.
The entire wing was doing fairly well there, where there were many opportunities to be slowed by picking one's way across the shallows, or losing a boot in the sucking mud of the river bed. K’ienn looked ahead toward the next stretch of the trail—a climb back up the other side of the small valley cut by the river. What he saw made him frown and send Yisketh in closer for a better look. Let everyone know, Yisketh. I don’t want anyone to endanger themselves trying to stay on the path.
The bronze gave his rider a mental nod, then broadcast for all to hear:
Attention, Trespassers! There is a landslide ahead. You are NOT to follow the trail as marked. Please take a safer route off to either side.
Time for another climb. These rocks and broken branches are piled on each other pretty loosely and completely cover the trail and many of K’ienn’s path markers, clearly the result of a landslide. Turned ankles and skinned knees are a real possibility here, if not worse. Better look for safer way up.
+3 bonus to Ahlalei for taking the more difficult route and handling it with ease (AKA beating K’ienn’s roll)!

The path had definitely fallen to the wayside, and had Yisketh not spoken up to divert, Alosha would have probably still considered climbing up it. Rather, Phaedrath had a lot of strong opinions about the thought as well.
Go around, please! I would rather fuss over some torn clothes and dirty boots than a broken everything!
Alosha didn't take too much convincing, at least, as she chose the path that at least still looked pretty fun to head around. It was still a difficult climb and she'd succeeded in actually ripping the knee of her trousers open. But when that that been new for her?
