Quidditch Slytherin vs Ravenclaw - Fall 2024

Banner design by Winnie Harper

October 12th, 2024

Starting out the game in Hawksheads formation, Lavinia felt so powerful with her other chasers around her. She scooped up the quaffle and scored three times on open hoops and did so smiling brightly. However, having no competition for the quaffle and no one guarding the hoops meant that Slytherin had other plans which put Lavinia on edge. She knew the constant elimination strategy well as was worried Slytherin was going for that right at the beginning.

With her eyes frantically searching the rest of the field for how her team was doing, Lavinia missed the blur of green charging straight for her. One second she was comfortably shooting quaffles and the next she was falling, again. With everything slipping so quickly, Lavinia started to feel her pro quidditch dreams falling. She needed to play perfect and getting knocked of her broom gave her no chance to play. During the 10 seconds of self doubt, Lavinia missed Charlie diving to catch her out of the air. Feeling a broom beneath her legs again, Lavinia let out a sigh of relief and changed her plan for flying with a partner. They could still win this game even while starting at a loss.

Interacting with: @Avery Chen

Avery's comment regarding some higher year did get Elisa off-guard as she muttered to him "I meant Aleksandra, the girl you had hugged on skyfall",

While sitting in the benches, Elisa made sure to cheer at times, but the moment that caught the girl's attention was when one of the Slytherin beater, single-handedly got two of the opponents out of their brooms.

Percival could not help but grin as he watched the bodies fall from the sky. It seems like Lady luck was on his side this time around in the form of bludger pummeling his enemies. A sneer crossed his face and he would look towards Avery with a triumphant look before flying off to continue playing. Maybe if he was lucky enough he could tell his Uncle about how well he did?

Reducio

1. In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself).

2. In the role of Beater, if an ALLY dodges a bludger during the round, there is a 20% chance that you catch that bludger with your bat and you send it at a RANDOM enemy target.

3. In the role of Beater, if you critically hit with a bludger, instead of doing double-damage you do 2.5x damage. If you critically fail with your bludger attempt to hit, rather than having your bludger randomly target another user (including yourself or an ally) the bludger cannot target you on a critical fail (but it can still target your allies). On a re-target, there is a random roll for target and then a fresh accuracy roll.

ROUND 2

A note to all players: The word count minimum is 50 words. The next deadline to post and submit strategy is 120 hours from the time this is posted. If you believe a mistake has been made in the calculations of this round, please reach out to a quidditch moderator (any of the team captains/cocaptains) ASAP so it can be addressed promptly.

QUAFFLE GRABS

This time, Ravenclaw would neglect the quaffle, and Slytherin's seeker would pick up where they left off. Undeterred, Dan would snatch up the quaffle and add a neat 50 points to Slytherin's total, bringing both teams back up to an even playing field as the game continued.

Reducio

Dan is quaffle grabbing and scoring. As Dan is the only one going for the quaffle, and the Keepers are taking other actions, he scores automatically.

Crit Check:
QG 1: 1
QG 2: 4
QG 3: 6
QG 4: 16
QG 5: 17
Dan scores 50 points for Slytherin!

SEEKERS

Aly would still be on the hunt for the snitch, despite all her falling teammates. After keeping a careful eye out across the pitch, she'd manage to spot a flash of gold through the rain, which could only be the snitch.

Reducio

Aly is still searching for the snitch.

Aly's attempt (DC 37):
UA (10): 8
Keen eye (10): 9
Aly wis: 16 + 20 + 1 = 37
Aly finds the snitch!

BEATERS

As Dan added more points to the scoreboard, Ulysses would be keeping a protective eye on him, defending him from any oncoming attacks. Rebecca, despite only having just taken the air, would do the same, and instantly take a defensive stance as Aly sought after the snitch. Percival would take the offensive once again, however, and target the Ravenclaw beater. Focused on protecting Aly, Rebecca wouldn't see the bludger headed her way, and would be a little too slow to dodge it. Unfortunately, she'd be sent tumbling from her broom almost as soon as she'd entered the game. But that wasn't it against Ravenclaw. The other bludger was hungry for a target, and chose Winnie. However, Winnie's experience on the quidditch pitch allowed her to dodge the bludger with ease as it soared past.

Reducio

Ulysses and Rebecca are defending their respective seekers. Percival is bludgering Rebecca, ricochet to Lavinia/Charlie.

Percival bludgering Rebecca:
UA (10): 5
CP (10): 1
Percival acc: 7 + 17 - 1 (charmer) = 23
Rebecca eva: 2 + 9 = 11
Percival hits Rebecca!
Damage: 18 x 75 = 1350
Rebecca is KOB!

Ricochet to Lavinia/Charlie:
UA (10): 7
CP (10): 1
Evasive Man. (10): 7
Percival acc: 8 + 17 - 1 (charmer) = 24
Lavinia/Charlie eva: 12 + 15 = 27
Lavinia/Charlie evade!

Rogue bludger:
Tatsu's choice of target: Winnie
Bludger acc: 9 + 5 = 14
Winnie eva: 10 + 13 = 23
Winnie evades!

BLATCHERS

The referee's blindness to the previous cheating gave confidence to a new batch of contenders. Winnie would be first - after dodging the bludger, she'd blatch Percival and send him off his broom. Maggie would be next, targetting the unsuspecting Quinn, who had been keeping an eye out for any of her Ravenclaw teammates that might be knocked from their broom. However, she must've not expected to be the target herself, as she'd be unlucky and be sent flying from his broom. Finally, Koko would take aim, towards Lavinia and Charlie, who had been making their way back to Lavinia's broom. However, they wouldn't make it, as Koko's blatch would send them both tumbling to the ground with nobody able to save them this time. Spotting all of the fouls, the referee would manage to do their job, and blow a sharp whistle. "Hey! Come on guys, let's keep it clean! Penalty laps, all three of you!"

Mellani and Avery, who had both been waiting again for any falling allies, would notice Percival's fall, and Avery would be quick to save him, delivering him safely back to his broom in one piece.

Reducio

Winnie (78) is blatching Percival, Maggie (77) is blatching Quinn, Koko (44) is blatching Lavinia/Charlie. Avery, Mellani and Quinn are all on save duty. Charlie is returning Lavinia to her broom.

Winnie vs Percival:
UA (10): 9
Winnie acc: 7 + 23 = 30
Percival eva: 12 + 12 = 24
Percival is blatched and KOB!
Winnie must complete a penalty lap next round.

Maggie vs Quinn:
UA (10): 7
CP (10): 4
Maggie acc: 10 + 13 = 23
Quinn eva: 5 + 10 = 15
Quinn is blatched and KOB!
Foulplay (4): 3
Maggie must complete a penalty lap next round.

Koko vs Lavinia/Charlie:
UA (10): 7
CP (10): 10
Evasive Man. (10): 5
Lavinia/Charlie are blatched and both KOB!
Varapidos cheat (10): 5
Koko must complete a penalty lap next round.

Avery saves Percival (not Mellani due to priority of saves) and due to his savior ability, returns Percival to his broom.

Outcome

- Dan scores 50 points for Slytherin.
- Aly finds the snitch.
- Percival bludgers Rebecca, she takes 1350 dmg and is KOB.
- Percival's bludger towards Lavinia/Charlie misses.
- The rogue bludger targets Winnie, she evades it.
- Winnie blatches Percival successfully, but he is caught by Avery and returned to his broom.
- Maggie blatches Quinn successfully, she is KOB.
- Koko blatches Lavinia/Charlie successfully, they are both KOB.
- Winnie, Maggie and Koko all need to complete a penalty lap next round.

xxThings were picking up, now, with their fresh 50 points courtesy of Dan. The pain in Maggie's side was subsiding, ebbing and flowing in subtle little waves of achey-ness that radiated from the one warm spot. She'd need to lay down in her dorm later, ice pack pressed hard against her ribs, but it would all be worth it after they won. What was a little failed bludger on her when she was a certified winner? Maggie took the newfound confidence, her new hope in the Slytherin team, as a sign, blatching towards Quinn with a toothy grin. When the other fell from their broom, Maggie pumped her fist, excited at the successful play. Her celebration was short-lived, however, cut off by the call for a penalty lap. Figures. "Come on," she groaned, turning the head of her broom to take her lap.

What in the world was this last round? Ravenclaw players falling left and right. That's what it was. There wasn't even a single captain left up in the air-- or on the bench. As a matter of fact, the only person now left on the bench was Ophelia herself. Everyone else was called into the game, or knocked out.

At this rate, Ophelia would get to play in her first official Quidditch game, and it wouldn't be on good terms.

Mentioning: @Prat Pass

The ravenclaws were falling down like birds who were being hunted and Elisa felt no pity, she found it much more fascinating, the game was getting relatively insane, while no member of the Slytherin team was down, the same couldn't be said for the Ravenclaw team, nearly half of them were down, atleast it was a good for her, she wouldn't have to step out of the comforting benches to play in the chilly weather, but one thing that for sure bothered her was Prat in the crowd, there seemed to be something in his possession.

In many things in life, the saying, 'if at first you don't succeed, try, try again,' held much weight. The same was true for any competitive game, the least of which included Quidditch.

It was important enough to Koko that Ulysses, for his first game, didn't have to see the grittier, darker side of the game. She hoped he could get a feel for the game, and also that he would have ample time to watch.

But then, of course, someone had to perform offensive tasks. Koko followed after Maggie, both of them targeting those who weren't, at first glance, taking an obvious action on the pitch. It could have been reprehensible. A year ago, Koko would have recoiled. But as she flew, keeping Maggie within her sight, she suddenly felt certain she was taking the right action, making the right choice.

The referee seemed to disagree. Maybe they were right. Koko duly turned into a penalty lap, not even bothering to complain it. That was just the way things worked.

Part-Veela Alluring: 10% of a Quaffle score attempt against a part-Veela Keeper failing; 10% auto-redirect chance as a potential target of blatching/bludgering. Reducio As a Keeper there is a chance that the attempt to score would fail if a user was attempting to score against a part-Veela Keeper. As a potential target of blatching or bludgers, there is a chance that if the target is a Veela that the attack will be redirected to one of the attacker's own team mates. Evasive Maneuvers - 10% Auto-dodge Part-Veela Scream: Potential AOE foul causing -1 accuracy and -1 evasion to up to five targets. Reducio Can use their Scream but it would be considered a foul and they would be suffering a detention after. Their scream can be disorienting (-1 accuracy and -1 evasion), requiring a full action to perform but does not require a wand. This can stack indefinitely and persist until the end of the encounter. This scream can target a single user or it can target up to five users (as an AOE attack). Calming Presence - Allies (SLYTHERIN) have 10% chance of auto-success Keeper's Catch - Will be specified in actions sent Reducio 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, or attempt to score on the opponent. This must be declared by the Keeper if any of these free actions are to be utilized, for example: Keeper: Block [& Pass to x if Keeper's Catch goes off] - the pass recipient must be taking a quaffle related action Keeper: Starfish and Stick [& Attack x if Keeper's Catch goes off] - the action will be equivalent to a bludger action Keeper: Block [& Score if Keeper's Catch goes off] Part-Veela Temperamental: +3 to critical success range, +1 to critical fail range.

Enganação. This literally means "cheat" and is a basically the art of sleight of hand for Brazilian Quiddich players. When a Quiddich player attempts to use the "cheat" action where they attempt to cast a spell while in a game, they succeed once per game automatically. Must declare alongside cheat action. All subsequent attempts to cheat have a 10% automatic "not noticed by the spectators" effect.
