HSC Chess Combat, Game 2 Spectators Closed

This is the Spectator thread for the Chess Combat Game Two (Year Two)

The area chosen for the Chess Combat matches was located in the fields in between the different schools’ encampments. It was certainly closest to the Hogwarts’ encampment but they had not had the proper space to set everything up in the encampment proper. They had gotten lucky with the weather, the sky was somewhat cloudy but the sun was out and while there was a slight breeze, the temperature was quite mild.

They had set up a (now-closed) sign-up booth to the side of the prepared combat area. A field of 5 by 5 squares marked in the grass by magical chalk made up said duelling arena. Surrounding the stage were a couple of benches for spectators and people waiting their turn. The benches were warded so that people sitting on them would be much more unlikely to be hit by stray spells. The benches had been organized in the same breath as the special permission for under-aged students to cast spells as part of this event.

The stage had survived the first game pretty unscathed and once everyone had been taken care of and those that wished had taken a seat on one of the warded benches to now watch the second match, Zahid called the second pair of teams to take their places on the Chess Combat arena.
