Ravenclaw & Hufflepuff 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚍

Aly is busy being a taxi for Ebony!
Atlas is playing the field! Something interesting!
We'll cover what she does in the next section.

Chasers....And Atlas

Howard the Duck and Serena are on a penalty lap... Bad. Bad cheaters.
Rosie and Lavinia are on save duty. BOOOOOOORING.
Cecily is attempting to blatch cute little Stanley!.....What is wrong with you? His last name is Buttons for christs sake. Leave the babby alone.
Turd Pinchers and Unbearable People:
[2d10 : 7,10]
Unsettling Aura causes Cecily's attack to auto miss! Look at her go in the complete wrong direction!
....Serves you right for attacking the babby.
Does her foulplay trigger?
[d4 : 2]
Nope. Cecily is caught. Get ta lappin'.

Syl is going for the Quaffle!
Do Terrible Presence or Unsettling Aura happen?
10 is success
[2d10 : 6,6]
Nope!
17+13= 30

Atlas' first field playing technique is to go for the quaffle!
People attempt to hamper her with their Terrible Auras and Unsettling Presences, but Atlas fears nothing! Neither activate on her!

4+13=17

Syl gets the Quaffle!
Syl attempts to score!
Toilet Paper and Boku no Hero Academia's High School:
[2d10 : 4,4]
Neither activate!
Huff n Puff's goals are unguarded! Syl scores!! 10 points to Ravenclaw!

Round 2

Syl goes for the Quaffle!
Tinkerer's Puke and Urinal Acid
[2d10 : 6,5]
Nope!
The Quaffle is uncontested! Syl takes it!
He now attempts to score!
Unattractive Attitude and Texas Pete
[2d10 : 3,9]
Nope!
The hoops are STILL unguarded... Geez Atlas. Almost like you cant be in two places at once, huh?
Syl scores! 10 points to Ravenclaw!

Round 3

Syl is going for the Quaffle!
Thorny Poop and Ukranian Avocados:
[2d10 : 8,6]
No triggers!
The Quaffle is uncontested, so Syl gets it for free! Again!
Now Syl is scoring! However.... Atlas stands guard!
Tickling Pokemon and Ugly Anchovies:
[2d10 : 7,3]
No triggers!
Syl's Accuracy: 13+1=14 Yeeeeesh. Crit fail. Well uh... VS Atlas' Accuracy: 13+4=17!....Again? Whats with you and the 4s, Atlas?
Well, Atlas blocks Syl's goal attempt!

The Quaffle game was... KIND of interesting this time. The quaffle wasn't ALWAYS uncontested... Sylvain scored twice, since Atlas decided the goalposts were not worth her time.

"And points to Ravenclaw! Two goals! Atlas Reid, get it together! You're a KEEPER so KEEP!"

Perhaps taking Plotts advice to heart, or to throw a blatant middle finger in his face (please do), Atlas returned to the goalposts, and stared Syl down, daring to try. And try he did.

"And lets get ready for another goal, Reid's mind seems to be everywhere BUT her goalposts... Impending 10 more points to-"

And Atlas just blocked Syl's score attempt. Perhaps Sylvain was getting to be a bit cocky?

".... Oh. I mean, OH!!! And an incredible save! Well done, Reid! Taking my advice!"

But then once again, Plott caught a cheating attempt. Cecily Quinn flew right toward Stanley! I guess Cecily just has a thing against cuteness or something.
But whatever her reason, she missed by a MILE.

"CECILY QUINN! NO. CHEATING. HOW CAN I MAKE THIS CLEARER?! Take a lap!"

Beaters
We remain gifless.

Vivian is defending Stanley.
Ebonaly is bludgering Vivian!
Tiny Pistols and Unwarranted Aggression:
[2d10 : 8,1]
No Triggers!
Combined average accuracy is 8.5, rounded up to 9, +3 for Muggle Condition, making 12!
14+12= 26 VS Vivan's Evasion: 5+8=13
Ebonaly just NAILS Vivian![/color]
Vivian's hp is 1100-500 damage. Vivian is down to 600 hp!
Vivian is not knocked from her broom, so Broken Broomshaft does not trigger. So there.

The remaining Beaters had differing ideas of what to do. Vivian defended her adorable seeker boy, and the Ebony and Aly combination decided to attack Vivian for the crime of existing. And their attack was dead on! Vivian was hit, but she stayed on her broom like a champ, laughing in the face of such a weak attempt.

"And Vivian Nightshade is hit! But she's still in it, folks! Ravenclaw is going to have to do better than that to unseat her!"

Seekers

River is looking for that snitch.
River is a dhampir, so Universal Assholes does not affect her. That said, lets see if Tuna Pies does:
[d10 : 3]
That would be a no.
Now, lets see if she finds the snitch! (DC 28)
18+13+1=32!
River spots the snitch!!!

Stanley is also looking for the snitch.
Uninteresting Alaskans and Tootsie Pops:
[2d10 : 1,8]
No triggers here, either. This 1 in 10 chance is kinda.... mmmm....
18+12+1=31!
Stanley also finds the snitch!!!

Things went from 0 to 100 for the Seekers REAL fast. Both River and Stanley spotted the snitch simultaneously.
One way or another, this match was going to wrap up soon. Following what would likely be extremely desperate plays from both sides.

"And it looks like both Dewlight AND Buttons have spotted the snitch! Lets see which one of them is better! I know who I've got MY money on!"

Plott would not finish that thought, presumably just to leave it on a cliffhanger and be a dick.

Final Standings:
Vivian is down to 600 hp.
River Dewlight has found the snitch
Stanley Buttons has found the snitch.

Hufflepuff: 30
Ravenclaw: 20

Disclaimer: Dan Palmer does not find all Alaskans uninteresting.

Her hair is pastel pink, shoulder length

Interacting with @Winnie Harper

"None of our chasers are down, I'm not flying yet!"

She truly needed to eat first before the match. Any match. Food is important to spike up that blood sugar, which is going to make her even more focused, unlike now. She thought someone was down and it was the time for Winnie to play, but, apparently it wasn’t. “O-oh” Aurora rubbed her eyes a bit, and it turned out Winnie was right, Syl was still on his broom, scored even. “YAY FOR NOT PLAYING THEN!”

Both seekers saw the snitch, the road was getting treacherous. But she was still hopeful for another win for Ravenclaw. “I'm very hungry”

Completely drawn into the game, Trix watched as Ravenclaw got the better of their keeper and scored. They muttered a quiet curse under their breath but was disappointed to see Ravenclaw score again. "Aww come on guys!" But suddenly, both of the seekers darted off, knowing that the game might end soon, Trix sent a prayer that Stanley would snatch it first, securing the victory for Hufflepuff. They cheered loudly to try and encourage their teammates, the nerves that plagued them before completely gone.

Howard found himself in familiar territory. Circling the Quidditch pitch on yet another penalty lap. The match's quick paced action slowed slightly as most were serving penalties or had already fallen, but there was enough action to take note of. Ravenclaw was able to score twice, but his eyes mostly stayed on Stanley with the hopes he would soon dash off after the Snitch. Just as Howard finished his penalty it would appear that both Seekers had spotted that elusive golden ball. Time for more madness!

The girl on the back of her broom was different from the rest. Sure, they all felt bad about falling off their brooms and having to be caught by the resident Keeper-on-save, but really, this one seemingly felt worse than normal; she was apologizing, saying she was useless, but then went right on to absolutely smack one of the Hufflepuff Beaters with a dead-on Bludger hit. Aly broke into a grin, glad that her passenger seemed to be getting back into the game all right.

“Dunno what you're talking about,” the curly-haired third-year called back to her broomstick partner. “You seem to be doing just fine! Fantastic hit, by the way!”

She swooped off to their next action, grinning to herself. Though Aly probably would have rathered guard the goal hoops like the good Keeper she had been trained to be, she always seemed to find herself in these precarious situations - not that she was complaining, of course, in the end of things. It was always fun to have someone else on the back of one's broom. The third-year learned a lot about her teammates that way.

Aly kept an eye on her captains, waiting for a motion towards what to do next...

Keeper's Catch Reducio 10% chance to automatically block an attempt to score a goal as long as Aly is in the goal area; if an attempt to score has been blocked through this effect, Aly may as a free action hurl the Quaffle at the opponent team in an attempt to injure a player of their choice or pass the Quaffle to a teammate; Aly must declare it if either of these free actions are to be utilized

Paragon of Health Reducio Up to two allies (defined as River Dewlight and Jorah Moussa) gain +10% temporary health points calculated from their stamina; any effects that are based on a percent of their health (such as an attack that does 10% of their maximum health) would be based on their natural maximum health score, and temporary health points cannot be healed

"It's alright." Winnie assured her friend with a small smile. "Things are getting a bit heated. Kind of hard to keep track of everything going on. As much as I'd like to be up in the air it would mean one of our team mates is out of the game, so I'm fine warming the bench for now."

It was also difficult focus when a certain group of boys kept stealing her attention. Marshal and Matt were talking but it didn't look like anything had gotten aggressive. "Look..." Winnie leaned over to nudge her friend, nodding in the direction of the pair. "Do... Do you think they're arguing or...?" She asked her, gnawing at her lower lip nervously.

Stanley had seen the snitch. Finally! He finally could do something to prove his worth to the team. "Come on Stan. Don't mess this up." He whispered to himself taking a deep breath.

He needed to show the team that he was worthy of the position and that he wasn't truly hopeless. His focus needed to stay on the snitch. Stan needed to catch it or else he would consider leaving the team. "You can do it." He mumbled.

It was challenging to not be concerned for her teammates as the aggressive cheating-filled game continued to stretch forward. Focused elsewhere on the field, Atlas assumed there wouldn't have been much of an effort to attack her beloved goal posts but to her surprise and irritation, there was the familiar sounds of scoring and cheering. And it wasn't for their team.

Each quaffle that went through her goal posts only made Atlas more frustrated and determined to win. She knew she should be back defending them but part of her was still concerned for the overall safety of her team. The game was absolute chaos and luckily, even with the two scores, it seemed like the game remained neck and neck and she wasn't too sure which team was really getting the upperhand.

The game was not going as well as Lavinia could hope. Usually at this point Ravenclaw would have knocked off at least half their players and had the snitch almost in their grasp. However, this match was chaos on both sides with Hufflepuff showing how they shouldn’t be underestimated. Currently Lavinia was on save duty and her eyes were quickly scanning to find out who she might have to save. No one fell the whole time and Lavinia was trying to think of that as a good thing since they didn’t lose another player.

More groans were heard from the crowd as the game got ever so closer to the end. More rough play and penalty laps were given and it was all around chaos. Not many had been knocked from their brooms this game which was surprising, perhaps luck was glimmering on their side.

Then the tables turned. An over excited Plott with his screachy voice annoucned the two seekers having both caught a glimpse of the snitch. Now it was getting down to the wire. Annie thrummed her fingers on her leg which was bouncing up and down with anticipation and nerves.

"Come on Stan, pull through for us little buddy!"
Annie cheered, willing his fingertips to curl around the golden orb and capture it, bringing an end to their losing streak.
