During Threadfall, moderators will make posts that say something along the lines of:

Quote:

Thread

*****


In this post, the moderator will roll three 6-sided dice. The results of the rolls determine what happens next.

Results:

First roll (Hit/Miss)
1 - Miss
2 - Miss
3 - Miss
4 - Miss
5 - Hit
6 - Hit

Second roll (Victim)
1 - Rider
2 - Rider
3 - Dragon
4 - Dragon
5 - Both
6 - Both

Third roll (Extent of injury)
1 - Minor
2 - Minor
3 - Minor
4 - Minor
5 - Threatening
6 - Threatening

Explanation of results:

*Miss => Character dodges the Thread.
*Hit => Character is hit by the Thread.

*Rider => The Thread hits the rider.
*Dragon => The Thread hits the dragon.
*Both => The Thread hits both rider and dragon, but you already figured that out, didn't you?

*Minor => A small, non-threatening injury. (Example: Thread takes off a bit of the rider's earlobe, a bit of the dragon's tail is scored, etc.)
*Threatening => A dangerous wound that threatens the use of a limb. Requires immediate (within the hour) medical attention or the injury will progress to an incapacitating wound.
*Incapacitating => A very dangerous wound that permenantly removes use of a limb. No amount of (Pernese) medical attention will be able to return the use of the body part. If immediate (within half an hour) medical attention is not recieved, the injury will become a mortal wound. (Example: Thread sears through the rider's hand, damaging it so badly that it can never be used again)
*Mortal => Victim will die within the day. No amount of (Pernese) medical attention can stop it.
*Lethal => Kills instantly. Only occurs if a moderator specifies it. (Example: Thread goes through the rider's cranium, destroying the brain and instantly killing the rider)

The following posts are examples of how this system works.

Fara and her green dragon Mamith dove and made a mighty exhalation of flame, scorching the clump of Thread into black ash. Returning to formation, Fara and Mamith looked for their next target.

((OOC: The first roll was a 1, so the Thread does not hit))

A clump of Thread went past the two lifepartners, just barely missing Mamith's left wing.

That was a bit too close for comfort! said Mamith, as she dove and burned the Thread that had almost hit them.

"I'll say..." commented Fara.

((OOC: The first roll is a 6, meaning that the Thread hits! The second roll is a 2, meaning that the rider is hit. The third roll is a 4, meaning that it is only a minor injury.))

FARA, LOOK OUT! Mamith 'yelled' at Fara. Fara leaned back just in time as a clump of Thread she hadn't noticed flew by her head, scoring her face a bit.

"AUUURGH!" she screamed as the Thread grazed her face.

FARA!

"It's okay..." Fara reassured her dragon, "It only grazed my face, nothing serious. But, shards, did it hurt!" Then, Mamith turned her head in order to flame the Thread.

Fara, the Thread is too far away for me to hit it.

"I can take care of that!" said Fara. She reached out with her mind and used her telekinetic abilities to bring the clump of Thread within range. "There!"

Thanks, said Mamith, with a smug attitude as she flamed the Thread into a black dust.

((OOC: Let's see here... first roll is a 2, so it's a miss...))

Mamith dodged to the left quickly, evading a clump of Thread that nearly got her wing tip. Before Mamith could flame the Thread, a fellow rider got it first.

"Thanks for the assist," she shouted to the other rider, then returned the favor by searing a clump of Thread that was about to hit him. She noticed a clump of Thread that had escaped the wings, and dove down to scorch it before it could reach the ground.
