Closed The Hunger Games PV Duelists Unofficial Mini Event

Date: Saturday, 22 March 2025
Spectator Thread - Open!

The morning chill air hung, the remnants of dawn's breath lingered over the school grounds and the sun rays stretched across the misted hills as they battled against the cold and beneath the reluctant warmth, the Slytherin's former prefect stood at the heart of his and Professor Sarai's creation looking satisfied with it. The shifting labyrinth that was layered with deliberate chaos and calculated strategy. It had taken hours of carefully craft while mapping and placing charms for the maze to be breathing and alive with magic and wonders and the large carefully crafted grass was pulsed with enchantments, imperceptibly as though to spring into motion.

The hedge maze

The lay out of the maze would be memorised but not for long, every time the laybrinth would change, the wall hedge maze would rearrange themselves with a fluid motion as if it were guided by unseen hands, the green walls would slid apart with a hrshed whisper, new pathways would unfold whilst others sealed away, trapping and misleading and challenged those who dared to step inside. The young slytherin boy ran a gloved hand along a roughened bark of a tree that stood at the entrance. Even this was enchanted to shake loose a shower of dried leaves when a duelist had passed or been defeated, the disturbing air like the wingbeats of a startled bird. Everything had present had a purpose,

Hidden Perils and Unpredictable Terrain

The maze was not just a navigation test, it had a purpose to be a battlefield with cunning traps and unpredictable danger—some would reveal themselves immediately whilst others would make their presence known at the worst possible moment.

• The Fog Veil: The fog veil was a thick mist that gathered in certain pathways, because these pathways contain tendrils that curl in slowly around the ankles of those who enter and the fog isn't merely an obstruction, it is enchanted to blur sound and intervene with perception, making voices and footsteps seem farther or closer than they truly were. This was an illusionist's trick awaiting to be exploited.
• Exploding Vines: These tangled ivy would sprawl across passageways, their emerald leaves would tremble with barely contained magic and the moment a duelist brushed against them, they would simply release a harmless golden spark that would mark their location for their enemies to see and reveal their exact location.
• The Sinking Step: Some sections of the ground were cursed with bottomless swamps that submerged the target. This was inspired by Jiraiya's Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld technique. The duelists are free to fight their way out or request the moderator to roll a 1d100 and if they attain a result of more than 50, the user will be granted an opportunity to be dragged by a vine out of the swamp, and if the end result is less than 50, the user will be spit out by the maze at the entrance yet still inside the game.

The young Slytherin smirked at his handiwork. These mindless obstacles offered an opportunity for strategy, deception and mastery over the battlefield. The heart of the very center was a dueling platform that awaited like an altar of skill and fate. The circular stone floor marked with ancient runes would be the final stage. The enchantments that took on a life of their own. The ground itself could shift at a whim, tilting slightly while summoning disturbing gusts of wind and throwing all duelists off balance. It was a battlefield design to test the spirits of youngins, and only those who could think, adapt, and seize the moment would make it. Whether the duelists team up or not, is up to them but at the end, there could be one winner.

The young Slytherin exhaled as his breath curled in the morning crisp. With one flick of his wand, he sealed the magical maze into place and a faint tremor rippled through the structure as if it was awake from slumber

The duelists would arrive soon.

Whether they put their fate in their friends or fight until they emerge victorious, this would depend on them, however, the adventure awaits.

Now, let the Hogwar-games, begin!

Here are a few rules

1. Entry point is the same for every Duellist. You all will be gathered at a singular point once you all make your debut, the maze will close up

2. Once the duel begins, every player must submit their actions in owls/discord>> moonlight.22_, no one should hint their action in their roleplays. You are free to skip a actioned round, but please let the moderator know.

3. We all have busy schedules, which is understandable. But there is 7 days rule for replies, If you cannot post, kindly let your partners know of your absence. And if you would like to be skipped.

4. Standard rolls and dueling rules apply.

[*] Please have a read of the following if you haven't already:

• Duelling System
• Duelling Spells
• Latest patch, Spring 2024

5. Some rolls may be up to moderator but the highest success chances of overcoming obstacles is 50+

6. Shifting walls apply after every 2 rounds, therefore a 1d100 will be rolled to determine the changes of the shifting walls.

7. Fog Veils WDC = 20
to see in the fog, a wisdom check for your character will be done, and if the outcome is greater than 20... This will be a success, your view will not be as perfect, but you will be able to see your path and avoid potential sparks from exploding vines. If your Wisdom Check is less, you will suffer from not seeing properly, making you a vulnerable target.

8. Exploding vines WDC = 15.
This is explained above. Kindly note that, whislst they are harmless, you character will lose 2HP when struck

These are the only things to look out for because the rest is just to take out your opponent and be the sole survivor. This seems like the Hogwarts hunger games, should you lose, the maze will literally drag you out where Atlas and Professor Sarai are situated, and your character will have just lost, and no side major effects like being unconscious will come into play.
