Quidditch Game Gryffindor v Ravenclaw

ACTION: Warming the bench

The Quaffle soared through the open hoops as a rush of adrenaline rushed through Cecily. She had just managed to snatch it from the grasp of the Gryffindors twice in a row, securing a lead for her team. Maybe it was too early to tell, but the match so far looked like the Eagles might pull out a win. Too soon, though, Cecily's spirits crashed as one bludger, then another, crashed into one of her Beaters. Although Cecily never thought she would see it happen, Jorah went tumbling from his broom, crashing to the ground. Shit. A dangerous game, it was, but Cecily would still never get used to the brutal sight of seeing a teenager falling to the ground from high in the air. Good thing their back-up Beater was already warmed up, ready to take flight and fill in. She was just a first year, but Cecily was confident in every player on her team. She trusted them and their skills.

Bloom held onto her Comet 180 watching the play. While the endgame was great with Ravenclaw leading by 10 points, Bloom could not help but to have a queasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. Her counterpart, Aly, was doing a fantastic job, but it seemed as though she was on target by the opponent. Come on... Stay in..., she thought. In a way, it was selfish. Bloom knew she was physically ready to play, but mentally... She was nervous as hell. She hoped for Aly to stay in and for the Gryffindor team to begin play defensively now that they were behind by 10 points.

Melissa kicked off the ground the moment the game started as adrenaline rushed through her. When she was up in the air, she tried to think of a plan. What should I do so our team has better chances of winning? she asked herself. Cecily was already doing an amazing job of getting the quaffle so the ginger could either help or attempt to take down one of the Gryffindor players. Since her team captain was already doing so well, she chose option 2. Her eyes locking on her target (Rafael), she quickly flew towards him, trying to blatch him. Just when she was about to blatch him, he evaded. Dang it- she thought. It was close, but not close enough. Knowing that it was a foul, she raced off to take her penalty lap.

The second round started and the players were quickly off again, zipping back and forth through the air, all set on their respective paths determined by their teams plays. Though many games were won through snitch catches, there were games that came down to how well players could score with the quaffle, and both teams were not willing to give up potential points. Ravenclaw sent forward Cecily, but a wall of red bright as blood surrounded her. Despite her success in the first round, she could not outrace the Lions who were deadset on getting the ball. Despite the real competition being attempting to prevent Ravenclaw from gaining possession of the ball, it still did not prevent a little friendly in-team competition between Gryffindor. Each Lion ([color+#BF0000]Alan, Rafael, and Evelynn[/color]) gained possession of the ball and scored 30 additional points for their team.

Ana and Lavina would sit back waiting for any falling players, choosing not to go after the ball. Meanwhile, Melissa was noted to be flying her penalty lap around the pitch.

It was good for Gryffindor that they were able to gain possession of the quaffle each time the ball was in the air, as their keeper, Pierre, left his posts yet again flying straight at the most likely target, River. She was a threat and he was determined to take her out. She was not so easily caught however, as she dodged the red bullet with little effort. "Penalty for an attempted blatch Pierre! Take a lap!"

It did not take long before the Gryffindor beaters took action. Scarlett smacked a bludger towards the blue seeker, aim true. Despite her best efforts, River could not evade such an attack coming at her. Hitting her, she stumbled, almost falling off her broom, but by some luck or another factor, the young seeker clung on to her broom. Bouncing off the girl, the bludger flew towards Aly, who was not far from River after their failed attempt to catch the snitch. Perhaps distracted, she attempted to evade at the last minute and the ball grazed her but it was enough. Her breath knocked from her chest, the girl slumped to her side, tumbling off her broom.

There was little time to breathe for River though. Watching the ball hit her teammate and knock her off the broom, she did not see a second bludger coming. Like a repeat of the attack on Jorah, Scarlett and Gris had teamed up to attack River right after one another. With this hit, a third bird fell towards the ground.

Lavina had been waiting for this moment. She was told to prioritize River, but seeing two teammates had to be a difficult, but it was the logical decision. She raced towards River, catching her. Aly, uncaught descended rapidly, arms outstretched, flapping in the wind. What irony for this falling bird. But what was that on the ground? Could it be? With the fast pace of the game and the action in the sky, Jorah still had not been removed from the field and Aly's unconscious body was aiming directly for him. With a sickly crunch, she landed on Jorah, her body rolling off to the side.

Perhaps upset by seeing two of her teammates so brutally attacked, Gabriella tried to exact revenge, sending a bludger at Evelynn but something came over her. A presence, well and truly terrible. She hesitated right before hitting the bludger, and sent it flying off, no where near the Gryffindor seeker.

Ana would be left in the sky, with no one to save.

Ravenclaw Snitch Catch DC = 15+9+2 = 26 (+9 lowest seeker accuracy; +2 from lovely creature)
River attempts to catch (rolled with disadvantage).
Catch attempt 1: 1d20+9 = 8+9 = 17
Catch attempt 2: 1d20+9 = 5+9 = 14
River does NOT catch the snitch.

Evelynn knew it was important to catch the snitch, but why not show off her athletic prowess, like the powerful lioness she was. As she was chasing the snitch, she saw an opportunity to get some additional points for her team, grabbing the quaffle and scoring 10 of Gryffindors 30 new points.

Meanwhile, Ravenclaw too pulled their keeper from the goals. Aly flew towards River. This might be there chance to snipe the win from Gryffindor quickly. Spinning River around in a manner reminiscent of the muggle Tilt-a-whirl ride, she flung the girl towards where the snitch was last spotted. Arms outstretched, River attempted to catch the little golden ball, but perhaps Aly had spun her one too many times. Maybe she had gotten a bit motion sick and was seeing double, but whatever the cause, River was not able to grab the snitch.

Alan, Rafael, and Evelynn all score 10 points for Gryffindor, for a total of 30 points.
Melissa is taking a penalty lap.
Pierre failed his blatch and will have to take a penalty lap.

Please DM or Owl me with an corrections or concerns. The deadline for the next round will be Saturday February 27th at 4:00PM UTC For my own reference: 08:00AM PST.

EDIT: Due to some conflicting ideas on who can and cannot participate in a Hawkshead Attacking Formation, it was determined that ONLY chasers can perform this formation. I have changed the moves from Alan, Rafael, and Evelynn to show as doing a quaffle grab instead. This does not affect the game, as the only time it would have made a difference had been if Gabriella did not auto-miss her attack due to terrible presence.

I would also like to add that I had permission from both Aly Salinger and Jorah Moussa vis discord DM's to god-mode Aly's graceful fall.

Lavinia was so glad to be back playing on the quidditch field with her trusty Comet 180 but, it was hard to not notice that her fellow teammate Jorah was just lying unconscious on the ground. Also, his backup hadn’t yet mounted their broom so Ravenclaw was down a player. Cecily had shouted out the play that put her, chaser 3, on save duty and it took a lot of self control to watch the Gryffindor chasers score 3 times in the unprotected hoops. Hoping that everything would go to play, Lavinia sat forward on her broom not wanting to miss the action and watch another one of her teammates fall to the grass.

Then all of a sudden the Gryffindor beaters were hitting bludgers at her seeker. River successfully dodged the blatch but she was not as lucky for the 2 bludgers that were sent her way. The worst thing was that the first bludger that hit her ricocheted and hit Aly Salinger the keeper. So here it was, her first play of the game and not one but 2 of her teammates were falling from the sky, at this moment Lavinia wished that she had bought the broom that could hold up to 3 people so that she could catch them both.

It was so hard see them both falling knowing that she could only save one but the choice was instantaneous, she had to pick the one that could catch the snitch and win the game for them. Lavinia raced over to where River was falling and caught her on her broom. Looking down she saw Aly’s unconscious body hit Jorah’s and was not looking forward to knowing what injuries they had sustained from her choice. Moving her head slightly she turned to Prefect and semi-friend saying; ”Are you alright River? At least now you get to share a broom with me, not some first time player. I’ll keep you safe so you can catch this snitch.”
