Camp '22 Summer Duelling Funtime Extravaganza, Match: 1

The young duelist's eyes widened in awe at the sight of Meenauh's Lumos Maxima. That was certainly going to be a problem, in fact his reflexive eye widening resulted in Tom's retinas being burned. "Aaaaaaugh, my eyes!" He wiped his tears away, grumbling angrily at his own foolishness. Truthfully, Thomas was having a bit of a rough duel thus far, having not landed a single spell that he had cast. It was a good thing that the only bad thing that had happened thus far were his own mistakes, because he would have likely been a little peeved if his opponents had come after him at all...

Interacting Directly with: Nobody in particular

Delilahs Wind Jinx did actually do its job... partially. It did push the cloud away, although not long after Delilah specifically got another cloud, and she missed Lamik too. It also wasn't long before it was nearly impossible for Delilah to see. Getting her eyes absolutely burnt, she couldn't even tell where it came from because it was that bright. She was mixed between shutting her eyes and seeing nothing or opening her eyes....and seeing nothing.

INTERNATIONAL SUMMER DUELLING TOURNAMENT
MATCH ONE

ROUND 4

While the sun was shining upon the London Quidditch Stadium, the area occupied by this specific duel was a chaos of fog, thunder clouds and flashes of light.

As their next move, the Gryffindor team decided to hone in on Ravenclaw's Delilah. The girl was a threat, no doubt, but if Alan and Lamik had their way, wouldn't be for much longer. A well-placed Flipendo and Aqua Eructo hit the girl, who due to the fog and light impairing her vision, had no chance of dodging. Meanwhile, Meenauh perhaps decided the cloud grumbling above the Gryffindor team's heads was too dangerous to tolerate, and sent it back to where it had come from: Just in time, as only the blink of an eye later, lightning struck not once, but three times; once for each member of the international team.

Just before the cloud unloaded its anger at them, the foreign students had a strategy of their own. While all attempts to land a spell on Meenauh had failed before, they could just keep it coming until something stuck. It didn't happen this time, however: Both Amaury's burst of flames and the wind that Hadashi conjured went wide, the Gryffindor girl remained untouched. Greta was getting tired of the constant clouds of fog obscuring the field, and decided to help the visibility a little by vanishing the conjured fog. Perhaps it would help her team mates aim next round?

The Ravenclaw team had their eyes set on the Gryffindor team as well, but here too to no avail. Even Aida's uncanny ability to spot enemies and attacks when eyesight would not do much did not help, and both her attempts to slow Lamik and the burst of wind Thomas sent at the boy failed to meet their target. But then, here too maybe the future would bring better chances, as Delilah decided to give herself and Aida a boost of confidence, steadying their hand and (hopefully) improving her aim for the next few spells.

While a moment ago, the Ravenclaw team had been the only one with any noticeable damage, the tables were turning a little. That one storm cloud had had quite an impact on the visiting duellists, and now, it seemed the Gryffindors were reigning over this duel, even with everything their opponents were throwing at them.

His mouth gaped at the sight of three lightning strikes in what felt like the span of a few seconds. This duel was truly something else, Thomas was bewildered by what was taking place before his very eyes. That shock turned into laughter at the absurdity of it all, the Ravenclaw was over the moon that even if his team wasn't doing awesome, someone else appeared to have been doing much worse. "PFFFT, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" He was unbothered by his own failure in this moment, too amused to take his miss seriously.

Amaury's brain felt like scrambled eggs as he tried to recover from volts of energy coursing through his body. His teammates, he noticed, seemed to be just as singed as he was. Hold up-- did all three of them get struck by lightning at once? What were the goddamn odds? This duel was absolute insanity. A freak of nature, with ridiculous odds and even worse luck, particularly from the international team. If Amaury weren't so stubbornly stuck on winning this thing and preserving his pride (and ego), he'd probably already want to go home.

There was a beautiful chaos over the way three lightning bolts struck from the cloud all at once, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, then he might not have believed it. The voice of @Thomas Baines caught his attention and his laughter and Alan could not help but grin at him, quite proud of his spell's success. Maybe the odds were in their favor after all. Or at least he hoped it was his, it didn't really matter in the end. It was two clouds but one, as it had merged into one. But perhaps that was what had amplified the strike chance?
