Opeila Winters

Reducio

Removes her blindfold.

The small semblance of luck the Slytherins had had in the previous exchange of spells faded again as soon as it had come. Both back in possession of their wands, it should have been looking up for them - but the Gryffindors did not give them a chance to catch themselves.

@Adonis Thorn had just enough time to cast one more spell before this duel ended for him, but maybe seeing the end coming had harmed his aim, and the Knockback Jinx was easily sidestepped by Meenauh. Still, at least one more spell cast before he was thrown backwards by the returning Flipendo from @Meenauh Silmataurea's wand. The fact that he was at the same time hit by the Disarming Charm cast by @Galton Lansdale hardly mattered: With or without wand, Adonis was out cold before he hit the ground.

Seer or no, with the blindfold over her eyes, @Opeila Winters could not see the split-off second spell from Galton coming. She'd feel her wand yanked out of her hand, just as she pulled her blindfold off. Again. A cruel game fate seemed to be playing with the pair, or now its one remaining member.

Dee stepped forward as soon as she saw that Adonis would not be getting up anytime soon, conjuring another shower of sparks. "Pause!" she called, her voice determined, not allowing for hesitation or objection. The break did not take more than a few seconds, healers coming forward to take the unconscious Slytherin off the stage, then Dee stepped back, her voice just a little softer as she allowed, "Go on."

It hurt a little to watch, honestly, similar to the first duel she'd moderated, this seemed terribly one-sided, one team scrambling to get their bearing while the other side stalked them down like a predator its prey. Did lions eat snakes? Probably, at least some of them.

Opeila remained alone, disarmed, and while Dee would not call this duel just yet, but it was clear that things were looking dark for the girl. It seemed that luck truly was with the Brave.

Opeila Winters

Reducio

Retrieves her wand.

As the duel resumed, Dee absently picked Adonis's wand off the side of the stage, handing it to the healers to give back to him. The duellists, however, were not inclined to slow down in the slightest.

Both @Meenauh Silmataurea and @Galton Lansdale were now free to focus their entire attention on @Opeila Winters, who was again disarmed. They had apparently decided to go full offense, both casting Knockback Jinxes at the Slytherin girl, but she proved incredibly nimble. While Galton's aim so far had been impressive even while targeting two opponents, it seemed that his steadily worsening cold was catching up to him. Between nausea and the snot dripping from his nose, Opeila had an easy time dancing out of the way of his spell. Meenauh's spell was slightly better aimed, and with Opeila distracted, managed to clip her shoulder. Not a full hit, but a hit either way.

On the bright side, between avoiding spells, Opeila still managed to pick up her wand. She'd be ready for them now.

Effects: -

Was it just her or was the duel getting more frantic? @Galton Lansdale and @Opeila Winters were targeting the opponent, but both Galton's Blindfolding Spell and Opeila's green flames were badly aimed and went into nothing, with Opeila dodging the blindfold coming her way just so.

In the middle of all that, however, @Meenauh Silmataurea seemed to be a calm haven. She easily stepped out of the way of Opeila's spell, and, with an encouraging look towards her partner, decided to take a moment off attacking Opeila to cast a Healing Spell on Galton, who would feel his nausea clear up slightly and was able to take a proper breath again. A reprieve, not a solution, but it would maybe help him get his focus back.

It was a smart, tactical choice, Dee observed, nodding in approval. Galton's aim had been clearly thrown off by the curse, and especially this round, being able to focus on his aim better without being shaken by sneezes might have meant a hit instead of a miss.
