Interacting as Khemet al-Aten

The first thing Khemet al-Aten noticed about London is how cloudy it was. Cloudy, wet, and depressing. Quite the far cry from his native Egypt with its rolling dunes, clear skies, and fertile river. How civilization had not only flourished here but also went on to conquer or colonize most of the known world would forever be beyond him. Perhaps it was their desire to flee this wretched island that drove them to seek opportunity in other lands with such zeal. Whatever the reason or result, he was here now bundled in more layers than were even necessary in the coldest of desert nights.

Mounting his broom, Khemet rose and hovered a few meters from the ground and surveyed his team. Many were unfamiliar faces with less than half coming from his own school of Uagadou. It would be interesting to see how they fared given his low expectations for their performance. As he scanned their faces, he grew increasingly disappointed that his own school could not field a full Quidditch team. Unfortunately, not all their team members had been able to make the trip to London for the holidays.

Regardless of what he thought of his team, Khemet was here to compete and to win. He was his team’s seeker and he needed to show these foreign students what a skilled Uagadou wizard could do.

Roleplaying as iNPC Maurice Andrieux

______________________________

Of all the things that magic was capable of in this strange new world, artificial weather was perhaps the most surprising and somewhat unsettling to Maurice, who had only had a year to adjust to the customs of wizardry. Watching the soft white snowflakes drift from the top of the stadium and melt away into his palm, the French boy had to quickly remind himself what the purpose of his visit to the stadium was.

Though he hardly knew the others on his team, he set aside any differences for the sake of the game (which he was still struggling to grasp the rules of, despite the practice). With the confidence of a motivated beginner, Maurice took his place on the field and gave the rest of his teammates a determined nod, clutching his broom like it might fly away at any second.

Zophyr had been waiting for this day since summer camp had started (and even before then, actually). Quidditch time!! Last year's game had been less than ideal, but it had been fun, and Zophyr was way better on their broom now, so there was a good chance they could be more helpful and maybe even help win the match. Hopefully. Only one way to find out!

Their teammates were from lots of different places. Many from Uagadou - Zophyr knew Mkhaku and Izîl, and there was an older boy they didn't know as well but recognized. On top of that, two other schools were part of the team: Koldovstoretz and Mahoutokoro (they had to admit the person moderating was certainly right in having a hard time pronouncing those. Though they'd practiced the latter of the two. For a certain white-haired boy). These two had many more kids that Zophyr did not know at all.

Hopefully they were good at Quidditch, or better than Beauxbatons at least. Zophyr really wanted to win this time.

Quaffle

Only three of the six chasers would focus their efforts on the quaffle, with Mkhaku, Izil, and River all enterring the fray in order to try and rack up points for their team. River's efforts would be for naught, though, as Izil and Mkhaku dominated when it came to maintaining quaffle possession. The Interschool team came out on top of all five Quaffle grabs, and though Maurice did his best to try and stop their assault, the Interschool duo would manage to end the skirmish having secured fifty points for their team.

Snitch

The flurry of snow in the air meant that both seekers had their work cut out for them. In the end, only Khemet would manage to spot that elusive golden sphere fluttering tauntingly across the pitch. Despite her best efforts, Élodie's own search would prove to be fruitless, though with any luck she was at least enjoying her bird's eye view of the picturesque winter weather.

Reducio

Both seekers are searching for the snitch.

Khemet (DC 27):
[d20 : 15] + 18 = 33
33 > 27
Khemet spots the snitch!

Élodie (DC 25):
Keen eye (19/20): [d20 : 6] = 6; does not proc
[d20 : 11] + 10 = 21
21 < 25
Élodie does not see the snitch.

Bludgers

Both teams' beaters came out swinging. Peter managed to dodge a bludger sent his way by Chiaki, but Maurice was far less lucky as an incoming bludger from Zophyr hit him with such a loud, sickening crack that it was able to be heard even by those sitting in the stands, the force of it knocking him off of his broom. The bludger then ricocheted to Katherine, who was much more successful in her attempt to avoid it. Khemet, nimble as he may have been, would have the odds stacked against him. Both of the Beauxbatons beaters would set their sights onto him, and while he was able to flawlessly dodge the first attempt from Peter, it left him vulnerable to the attempt from Quentin, and he too would be knocked clean off his broom.

Reducio

Chiaki, Zophyr, Quentin, and Peter are bludgering. Rosella is blatching.

Blatches

What was a Quidditch game without a few cheaters? The first less-than-legal attempt of the match would come from Rosella, who rammed into Quentin and managed to unseat him from his broom. While Katherine, fresh from an artfully survived bludgering attempt, would manage to swoop in just in time to save Quentin from falling to his doom, the resulting kerfuffle made it impossible for Rosella to try and get away with the maneuver unnoticed. Bex blew her whistle, calling out the foul. "Rosella Sokolov, penalty lap! As a Ravenclaw I respect the grind, but at least try and be sneakier about it."

Reducio

Rosella is blatching Quentin:e
CP (19/20): 7, does not proc
Rosella acc: [d20 : 17] + 19 = 36
Quentin eva: [d20 : 7] + 18 = 25
Quentin is blatched and KOB. Rosella is now on penalty lap!
Rolling to determine who is saved by Katherine: t!choose Quentin | Maurice = Quentin. Quentin is saved by Katherine, Maurice remains KOB.

Outcome

Khemet spots the snitch.
Maurice is hit by a bludger and KOB.

ABILITIES AND STATS:

Keeper's Catch | 10% chance to automatically block an attempt to score a goal as long as the Keeper is taking an action in the goal area.
If an attempt to score has been blocked through this effect, the Keeper may take one of the following three as a free action:
- hurl the quaffle at the opponent team in an attempt to injure a player of their choice
- pass the quaffle to a teammate who is taking a quaffle-related action
- attempt to score on the opponent.
Perfectionist 1/2 | Immune to critical failure.

STAMINA: 12 | EVASION: 12 | STRENGTH: 3 | WISDOM: 4 | ARCPOWER: 3 | ACCURACY: 13

BROOM:
Tinderblast

A critical success on an attempt to block a goal not only means that the Keeper caught the quaffle but they have also successfully passed the quaffle (without a chance of interception) to an allied target of their choice.
A critical failure in this case cannot happen for a Keeper, they get to re-roll the attempt to block.

Rosella was not starting out playing fair. To be honest she was not sure what had gotten into her but the very first thing she did was throw herself into one of the other teams players to knock them from their broom. Did she care that she was caught, a little bit, but flying a lap around the pitch was not going to take as long as others would think.

Date: Sunday 4th July 2024

As the game began, Chiaki lined up her shot, ready to put all of her practice into action. Everyone else was busy with their own jobs on the pitch, and she had to be focused on hers. As her teammate Zophyr nicely aimed a shot and took out their keeper, she swung her bat but the bludger went flying wildly away, letting her target easily dodge it. Frowning, she tried to focus on the fact that everyone else on her team was doing a great job.

┏		┓
	----- "Ding ding ding!" Mkhaku exclaimed, finessing the ball in several scrimmages and speeding them along to the triumvirate of hoops. He and Izil had worked tremendously together, sending 5 quaffles beyond the keeper with relative ease and supreme accuracy; each scoring goal prompting a different celebration from Mkhaku. The first couple were some simple dance moves on broom back, the rolling of shoulders, a disco wave with his arms and some chop-change handouts with a suitable stankface in support. “Mmh mmh, Mmmkhaku, Mkhaku!” He said in a rhythm, as if imagining roaring crowds at some of the muggle games he'd been to see. “Wahoo!” He yelled in celebration as the round ended, donning his performer hat again and performing a trick on his broom; clutching it in both hands but throwing his ass and legs up in the air, like a daredevil biker during a stunt before he yanked his broom beneath him and he shot towards his team. “That's what I am talking about marafiki!friends - swahili Let's go!" He commended his team before preparing for the next scrimmage. "Did you think it would be so easy, mdogo?brother - swahili Come on stop slacking!” He said to Quentin, who'd been caught by Katherine, another playful jab.
