Ravenclaw v Slytherin Quidditch Game Finished

Damn, not again!

This clearly wasn't going to be her game. Alexx was frustrated now. Pissed. She was being absolutely useless. That didn't bode well with the Slytherin chaser. Well, her anger had to be compensated somehow. Thank Merlin that this was Quidditch. Colliding with someone was no problem- that was all cool. A good ole Parkins Pincer would help relieve her anger. She certainly hoped that she would be forgiven for this. After all, Ruby and Elena were doing the same thing. Just as it was meant to be.

Going full speed at her target, she decided that if nothing else, the least she could do is help knock someone off their broom. That would be a good story to tell. Besides, she had some time to work on her quaffle-grabbing skills. Until then, it was time for action. After all, glory and gore go hand in hand.

Dammit. The bludger had somehow missed the Slytherin keeper, Elijah. Oh well, the game was still young and... Ravenclaw scored! A wide grin broke out onto Amanda’s face as the scores drew even. Keep it up team, she thought to herself. And we’ll have a shot at winning for sure.
Her eyes roved over the Slytherin team members, trying to figure out who to aim for this time. Amanda’s gaze settled on a particular team member and she readied her bat. She wouldn’t miss this time, no, she’d hit home and hopefully knock the player off their broom. She didn’t wish ill intent on them personally, but it’s just business, she thought as she sent the bludger flying in their direction with a loud whack!

Action: Doing as strategized

Cecily grinned as the Quaffle sailed through the hoop. Yes, Lavinia! Slytherin may have scored first, but there was no way they were winning this game. She wouldn't let it happen.

The blonde Chaser didn't even leave time for a breath before she was racing once more towards the quaffle. Still, though, she thought of that bludger rocketed towards Arc-- that was a nasty one. If they lost a player to one of those ruthless Slytherin beaters, they would be done for, undoubtedly.

At the last minute, Cecily pulled up short. She scanned the field, keeping a sharp eye on all of her teams' players as well as the dangerous bludgers. Their team couldn't afford to lose a player to one of those things. Plus, they had gotten the quaffle once before, and they could get it again without her-- perhaps it would even be easier with less people in the way. So she levitated, poised, on her broom, senses on edge and ready to race to the rescue of a fallen teammate.

ACTION: saving a teammate, if necessary.

Sorry this took me so long, the Race and Ability System release took up all the hours I had to post on Friday, my intended day to post this. I am presently in the midst of my shifts so free time is non-existent for me. In any case, I probably missed something, if so please let me know what.

@River Dewlight and @Dan Palmer would scan the field in search of the snitch.

River Dewlight searches for the snitch. 10 + 8 + 2 = 20 [DC is 23]
Dan Palmer searches for the snitch. 10 + 8 + 1 = 19 [DC is 23]

Neither River nor Dan was able to catch a glimpse of the snitch.

A mad rush for the quaffle. Where one would expect that representatives from both teams would tear across the field as they tried to snatch the lone quaffle, only @Arc Perscivious and @Lavina Cloven would attempt to gain control of the Quaffle.

Arc Perscivious attempts to perform a quaffle grab 4 + 8 = 12
Lavinia Cloven attempts to perform a quaffle grab 12 + 5 = 17

Lavina got hold of the Quaffle for a second time in a row. The crowd cheers!

@Marcia Kingsleigh, @Warren Kirkland and @Koko Riddle were out for blood. Marcia would hit the bludger first.

Marcia: Random target as none was identified. 1- River Dewlight, 2 - Arc Perscivious, 3 - Cecily Quinn, 4 - Lavinia Cloven, 5 - Hengist Warbeck, 6 - Emma Hill, 7 - Amanda Sparrow, 8 - Angellica Rowley. Roll: 7 (Amanda Sparrow)
Marcia attempts to bludger Amanda Sparrow. 4 + 9 = 13
Amanda Sparrow attempts to avoid the bludger. 9 + 6 = 15

The hard ball would hit the bat, aimed for Amanda Sparrow. The bludger would miss Amanda. 

Both teams appear to have gone on the offensive. As Lavina rushes off, @Emma Hill, @Angellica Rowley and @Amanda Sparrow raise their bats and their eyes scan the field. Those bludgers always come quick. With a wack of their bats and a loud, resonating clank as the hard projectile impacted the wood of their bat and they launched the bludgers.

Emma Hill attempts to Bludger Marcia Kingsleigh.
Attack (Emma) 19 + 9 = 28
Evasion (Marcia) 15 + 6 = 21
Angellica Rowley attempts to Bludger Ruby Cazares.
Attack (Angellica) 1 + 7 = 8
Evasion (Ruby) 8 + 4 = 12
Amanda Sparrow attempts to Bludger Elena Jones.
Attack (Amanda) 2 + 9 = 11
Evasion (Elena) 11 + 7 = 18

The bludgers would shoot past Ruby and Elena, narrowly missing them both. Marcia, however was not quite as fortunate. she would be hit square in the chest, the wind knocked out of her. She might have even felt a rib crack. Marcia's self-proclaimed paramour, Patrick (NPC) would cry out for her in sympathy from the stands and declare bloody vengeance on Emma Hill. She would be knocked from her broom, her grip temporarily lost on the shaft. She would plummet towards the ground. None of @Marcia Kingsleigh's allies were prepared for this,  she would hit the ground hard. Solomon would swallow hard at the graceless landing and call out "Medic!" it was amazing that parents were content with this brutal sport but it was a wizarding pastime. A rather loud, somewhat brutish Slytherin teen would also push his way onto the field (NPC) yelling Marcia's name along with a string of profanities aimed skyward.

Emma's victory would be short-lived. Team Slytherin was going to put Emma in her place: the ground. Known as Parkins Pincer, a 'dirty' move. @Ruby Cazares and @Elena Jones flew onto either side of Emma Hill. She had nowhere else to go. @Alexx Severin would rush inbetween the pair of allied brooms keeping pace now with Emma. Emma might even have an inkling of what was going to happen next. 

Alexx attempts to blatch Emma. 16 + 6 = 22
Emma attempts to avoid Alexx. 18 + 9 = 27
Disadvantage roll for Emma 17 + 9 = 26

Emma was able to somehow slip away. Alexx would rush forward and just before they collided Emma would drop down suddenly and Alexx would zoom overhead. The crowd would groan in either disappointment that they did not see a disaster or in disapproval for the the foul that Alexx had almost committed. Solomon would blow a whistle, signaling a foul with his hand, a look of disapproval on his face.  "Attempted blatching!" He would declare. Warren would catch a bludger on its rebound and with a mighty hit of his bat he would hope his attacked thinned Ravenclaw's ranks.

Warren: Random target as none was identified. 1- River Dewlight, 2 - Arc Perscivious, 3 - Cecily Quinn, 4 - Lavinia Cloven, 5 - Hengist Warbeck, 6 - Emma Hill, 7 - Amanda Sparrow, 8 - Angellica Rowley. Roll:  6 (Emma Hill)
Warren attempts to bludger Emma. 10 + 6 = 16
Emma attempts to evade Warren. 7 + 9 = 16
Re-roll Warren attempts to bludger Emma. 14 + 6 = 20
Re-roll Emma attempts to evade Warren. 10 + 9 = 19

Emma would be struck from behind. It would hit her square behind her shoulder blades. It was disorienting, painful as it was it was not enough to knock her from her broom.

Damage: 600 - 200 = 400

As if Warren had fallen asleep on his broom, Koko Riddle would wack the bludger.

Koko: Random target as none was identified. 1- River Dewlight, 2 - Arc Perscivious, 3 - Cecily Quinn, 4 - Lavinia Cloven, 5 - Hengist Warbeck, 6 - Emma Hill, 7 - Amanda Sparrow, 8 - Angellica Rowley. Roll: 1 (River Dewlight)
Koko attempts to bludger River. 15 + 6 = 21 
River attempts to evade Koko. 19 + 4 = 23

Koko was not a particular accurate girl, nor was River very nimble. While the dance was clumsy, River emerged victorious as the bludger shot past her.

Lavina would rush towards the Slytherin goal. @Hengist Warbeck could have a sigh of relief, the quaffle was not headed his way this time around. It was between Lavina and @Elijah Huang once again. 

Lavina attempts to score a goal. 6 + 5 = 11
Elijah attempts to protect his goal. 18 + 3 = 21

While it was a noble attempt, Elijah would protect the goal with his body. His hands would cup the quaffle and he would feel the cool leather in his hands. Elijah had possession of the Quaffle!


Score Board


The Teams


Slytherin Quaffle: It is in Elijah's possession. Elijah can leave his goal and attempt to score or he can pass the Quaffle to another player. I will add this move to the play list because it is an oversight that such does not seem to exist. A PASS would be considered Elijah's action, he would still be able to guard his goal this way. There is a risk of course, by passing the Quaffle it can be intercepted. While there are no premade plays that have interception as an option (those plays are just sample plays, you can make all the plays you would like) an interception can be done by ANY player as an attempt to intercept the quaffle. What stat does this? ACCURACY. It is a contested ACCURACY roll between the user that is passing and the person attempting to intercept. If the user that is passing wins the roll, then the quaffle reaches its intended target.

Blatching: There was an attempted blatching. Alexx would be called on the foul for that, effecting her next round action.

The only person who did not post this round was @Warren Kirland. He would have hit a user had he posted in this thread, causing some damage.

This is why Hengist had wanted the position of keeper. As long as your team had good offence, you don't need to worry too much. Still, he had to stay alert. Especially for things like bludgers; he saw a Slytherin girl get hit hard by one. So hard, in fact, that it knocked her right off her broom. Even worse, there were none of her teammate nearby to stop her fall, so she fell right to the ground.

'Oh man, I hope she's ok...' Hengist thought. Even though she was on the opposing team, he didn't wish serious harm to anyone playing. He then noticed someone running onto the pitch, screaming and yelling. 'Nutter,' he thought, his focus reapplied to the game at hand. The enemy keeper had just saved another goal attempt by Lavina, so he figured they would likely be coming at him with an attempt. 'Here we go,' he thought.

As River flew around, keeping a keen eye out for anything shiny and gold, she heard a loud whack. Her head looked left, only to see a girl, from the slytherin team, head straight for the ground below. Awesome work, she thought, and looked to her team mates. Jeez, that was quite a fall though, I hope she’ll be alright.

River could swear she heard the light sound of tiny fluttering wings every now and then. She just hadn’t managed to spot the bloody thing. Her eyes landed on the slytherin seeker, It looked like he still had the same luck as her. River took a deep breath, as she continued keeping her mind focused.

Action: Doing as strategized

Not only did they score previously, but then Ravenclaw had the gall to try and do it again. Thankfully, Elijah grabbed the red ball and stopped that attempt dead in its tracks.
Then, Dan would see one of his teammates knocked right off her broom. Despite telling himself not to think about chaser keeper and beater matters, he could not stop the anger from boiling. He shook his head and calmed himself. This was not the moment for getting carried away. He was sure that his team would pay them back. No one slights a Slytherin and gets off scot free. And furthermore, all of Ravenclaws efforts would amount to nothing if he could just catch the snitch.

Speaking of, WHERE WAS THE BASTARD THING!?!?! No. Calm. CAAALM. Dan looked at River, and it seemed she hadn't found it yet either. That was a welcome relief.
Dan scanned the field, looking in every direction. He kept his mind focused on finding small, flitting movements, and anything shiny and yellow. He blocked out the sounds of cheering and anything else the crowd was doing. Instead, he kept his ears open to the sound of flitting wings. He'd heard that the snitch could sometimes have a cocky sense of humor, and liked to flit about beside a seeker's head. He'd felt it earlier; JUST by his head. But he wasn't able to catch sight of it.

He still wanted to be angry. But, he blocked the emotion from himself. For now, his one and only job was finding and then catching the snitch. He would just have to trust in his teammates to exact Slytherin's Revenge on the ones who downed one of their players. He had a job to do to ensure victory, and so he would continue scanning for the snitch.

I had hold of the quaffle again and as I raced toward the goal posts my teammates were out for blood. Emma swatted a bludger at Slytherins aggressive beater and it hit her. But none of her teammates were there to catch her. As the beater fell to the ground she felt a surge of guilt that she could not save her and that her team had the power to do such things. With all her might she focused back on the quaffle in her hand raced to the goal hoops. She threw it and..... HE BLOCKED IT!

Well you can’t always win or always score so it’s okay and he had a very nice block too.

Lavinia went back to focus mode and concentrated on the game as Slytherins keeper had the quaffle.

Doing as strategized

Emma flinched as if getting hit with her own bludger. Okay, so maybe that might have been a little overboard, but at least the game was made easier on Ravenclaw's behalf. Ouch... she mouthed silently to herself as she watched the Slytherin beater hit the ground. Even over the rain, she could hear curses being thrown at her, but chuckled and kept her eye on the game. That was for targeting her best friend.

Before she knew it, two chasers were on her sides. Thanks a lot, Alexx. Was it against the rules to hit a player with just her bat? A grin formed on her face after the foul was declared, bye bye. Emma kept her eyes on Lavinia and even though it missed, she was still amazed. Going on offense was incredibly fun.

Another bludger flew in her direction and with the swing of her bat, and she sent in flying to her opponents. This was going to take a while.

Action » Doing as Strategized

The bludger had resounded against her bat in a way that shook through her thin limbs. Even with the miss, it had been a rush to have gone on the offensive. Everything had gone so fast, they had all played one of their plans and it hadn't been a complete failure. She watched as Emma was nearly pinched, glad another player of theirs had saved her.

Fouls were called, and a player was sent to the ground and off their broom. Quidditch could be a violent game, she was just grateful to still be on her broom. Tightening her grip on it a little more, she flew through the air and focused herself on her next move. Find a bludger, launch it where it needs to be, she could only hope it would at the very least ensure a distraction if anything at all.
