Hogwarts Summer Camp 2021 Chess Combat (Match 2) Closed

ROUND 6

The duel moved on to prove to be quite a spectacle. No really, it seemed like utter chaos. Adonis seemed like he surely would drop to the ground after being hit by a Flipendo from Amaury, making the prefect question how such a harmful spell could be allowed, before a Reparifors by his teammate Astrea saved him from dropping out. He would end his turn by moving out of the bubbles, moving a square to the side instead. Henrietta had an action in mind, she too ended the round by moving to another square, but as a Reparifors by Irina hit her, she would feel a sharp pain in her torso, reminding of being stung by a huge insect. Both Sarah and Violet would miss with their attempts to set Felix on fire, who was barely managing to stay on his feet, despite the burns and pain of two ongoing flames that had burned a few holes through his duelling attire. Alan would instantly motion for a few medic students to rush in and retrieve the unconscious students and get him treated. He however seemed frozen not doing anything, possibly distracted by the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Whereas Dmitri would cast another Nebulus charm, affecting four tiles with it, one of which Felix had occupied moments ago, Maksim would let go of a Ventus. He missed his original target but to his luck the spell split and grabbed hold of Violet, doing a great deal of damage as the jets of air hit her and made movement difficult as she fought against the wind.
This however marked the first person out of the game, though overall despite being one person down, the abroad schools seemed to be doing better all-together, considering their health status. "Who do you think is gonna win?" he wondered as he turned to Ana@Anastasia Beckett.

Edits:

Reducio

a few edits have been made; I have removed the action of Felix (Winnie) as they did not post. This will not change any big outcome as the spell had missed. I have re-added the crit fail of Irina (Lavinia) as I have been misinformed that their action was not valid when it actually is. I apologize for the mess up on my behalf!

Edit Note 2: Felix was mistakenly marked as knocked out. Chess Combat rules state players get knocked out at 0 HP. He remains conscious.

Irina had a plan to help her teammate by casting a healing spell. It would increase her health and make it so the girl would be able to last in the match longer. Unfortunately, it went the worst way it could. As soon as the spell left Irina’a wand she knew it was wrong. Instead of helping Henrietta it hurt her and Irina was ashamed. Quickly she yelled “OH MY GOSH, I AM SO SORRY!” to Henrietta. Irina had hit the worst thing possible so now there was only one way to go, up.

The Duelling match was still ongoing, however some of the participants had already fallen. Violet was glad to see that her team was still standing, thought some of them looked weak. Meanwhile, the white-haired boy of the opposite team had fainted, and had left the game. Violet's first reaction to this was a quiet 'thank God', but as she thought more about it, Violet could not help but feel some pity for the boy. But now was not the time for sad faces, or to pity cute boys. The Slytherin had to win this game alongside her teammates, so she prepared for her next move. Hopefully her accuracy would not fail for the next rounds, unlike she had before.

More and more, Dmitri can see why most of his dueling opponents tend to consider surrendering instead of facing him head-on. Those that try to, seem to end up on the ground—unconscious—one way or another.

This game was just another one of those examples.

See, the boy can respect children trying to bite off more than they can chew. In dueling, more so. In fact, he saw more disrespect in actively trying to avoid or escape engaging with your opponents in a proper wandfight you signed up for.

However, you really cannot try that on the Slytherin captain without expecting a few repercussions coming your way.

You can say he was not surprised when the boy directly in front of him who, moments ago, hit him with a Flipendo, fell to his knees from the continuous burns he suffered. Dmitri scoffed with slight disappointment as if to say "that fast?"

The smell of burning hair and fabric would quickly be dissipated as the fog he conjured for the second time descended upon the arena, half-concealing the opposing team.

"Truly unfortunate."

One opponent down, another frantically throwing apologies towards their teammate for a botched cast. A poor impression to make in front of an opposing team, but an impression nonetheless. Astrea made quick work of dodging a split-burst of wind struck out from the wand of a tall dark-haired male occupying a diagonal square, one part of the Ventus fading into the open air and the other hitting her unlucky teammate.

Once more a safety blanket of vision-hindering fog fell upon the other side of the board, thick and strategically placed. Taking full advantage of the cover it provided, she healed up her previously-targetted ally again, the latter having stepped away from his original affected square and into the one directly next to her. Knocked once more to the ground by a harsh red jet of power and yet rejuvenated by purple light, the other was teetering on the edge of the end and she would not call her taken action useless. The duel was beginning to quicken in pace, seamless transitions into each new round costing greater risk to all previously strategised plans regardless of country origin or spoken language.

He should not be conscious right now, but Felix had never really fancied going with the flow. He was conscious, apparently, and as long as he was conscious, he would fight. His eyes had glazed over a bit last round, the fire nipping at his skin, but he would receive another burst of energy, perhaps his last for the duel. It didn't matter, clearly they were targeting him because he was a threat. Aw, how cute. He would simply grin at the opposing Queen, despite his injuries. "It's been two rounds, I thought I was promised a good time, but I'm still awake. The fog show won't cut it, can't you bore me to sleep a bit faster?" On his knees? Not yet, darling.

It was truly a shock that the Slytherin boy was still on his feet after Amaury's last spell, nothing but the healing spell the boy's teammate cast on him keeping him from toppling over. Meanwhile, it looked like his own teammate, Felix, wasn't faring too well either. It seemed as though a slight breeze could knock the poor Durmstrang boy right down.

But alas, the poor Slytherin boy who had been on the receiving end of Amaury's wand stepped a square to the side, out of Amaury's range. A pity, considering he was so looking forward to seeing the little Hogwarts boy on the ground.

Dialogue in italics is Russian.

Max clenched his jaw in frustration as his spell whizzed by his intended target harmlessly, although he was pacified as his spell split and hit someone else. Before he had time to celebrate his small victory, he found himself surrounded by clouds, and his eyebrows met once more as he squinted at the Viper's queen through the fog. Did they really think the foreign students were that much of a threat? Whatever the reasoning behind the clouds, Max chose to ignore it and focus on his spellcasting. His wandwork hadn't necessarily been the greatest thus far, but he was determined to continue contributing to the team.

Adonis once gone took the full force of yet another Flipendo to the chest that would force him stumbling backwards. Not even just stumbling backwards, Adonis felt his eyes begin to roll to the back of his head until he was hit with a Reparifors by a fellow teammate. A teammate which he was more than thankful for at the moment as it saved him and allowed him to just barely hang onto a thread. Thereafter, the Slytherin would move over to the next spot beside him to get away from the bubbles. Despite being healed, the past hits he had taken were still all wearing him down and he felt his stamina continue to be significantly low but that didn't deter him. Adonis would once again prepare himself for whatever was to come next.
