2022, Stage 1 Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw: Match 3

COURTESY REMINDER

There are under 18 hours remaining before this round's deadline.
I still need a post from Delilah, and Ravenclaw actions.

@Delilah Stewart @Eun-ji Lee Hunt

@Eun-ji Lee Hunt | @Alec Mason | @Meenauh Silmataurea

Delilah hissed a little as she got sparked by a part of her own spell as she hopped out of the way. One couldn't pull risky moves like that one and not know how to move her feet.

Every year she stepped up her game offense wise, and she tried to do so in evasion as well, if she is going to hit hard then it wouldn't do well for her to get hit now would it?

Nessie was glad to see that all the duellists were still going strong, and she thought that the duel's unrelenting pace was especially impressive.

The Gryffindors wasted no time in altering the conditions in which they were duelling, with Alec casting an expert bravery charm on himself, and Meenauh producing a brilliant blinding lighting charm. Nessie had to avert her gaze slightly to ensure she'd still be able to see everything else that was going on.

But the Ravenclaws' offense did not let up, and Nessie was impressed by their persistence. Alec was lucky enough to stay out of the worst of Delilah's next blasting curse. The flying splinters that hit him couldn't have felt good, but were surely nothing compared to what he'd endured last round. On the other hand, this time Meenauh could not escape Eun-ji's tongue-tying spell, and would soon find that she'd be unable to speak until it wore off.

After such an illuminating round of spells, Nessie wondered what might happen next.

Alec quickly came to the realization that the tactic he was starting out with was not going to work. He would have to make adjustment to his plans accordingly with the talented indiviuals they had in the room. Thus Alec was going to need a little help from the bravery charm. Tactfully Alec spoke the incantation an focused on getting back in the duel, “animosus.” To think Alec was using such a charm in a duel, it was almost silly, superstitious, but it's vast effect was not to be discounted. The use of the charm felt superstitious, and yet it worked in way most didn't reaize. He was ready to be better to take aim with it. He had do doubt in himself he knew he would be great.

Alec was confident but glancing towards Meenauh he would watch as they found themselves brought into trouble as the tongue-tying spell hit her. That wasn't good.

It didn’t take long for Eun-ji to realize, this would be a very difficult duel…perhaps the hardest one yet. Most spells used, she didn’t even see in her previous matches and it made her want to experiment as well. This was no time nor place to play however. It was clear that any misstep in this one would be harshly punished. Therefore, Eun-ji didn’t bother being original. Rather, she went with what might be useful to them, which meant she simply used the same spell as she did last round. Surely, Meenauh wouldn’t block it again? Del for her part followed the suit and repeated her successful action from previous round as well, only this time Alec was her sole target. He was quick on his feet but at least some damage was done. The boy didn’t return the favour and instead used animosus on himself. Smart, was all she could think before a flashing light, coming from Meenauh’s wand blinded her. It was a nasty business and the younger of the Ravenclaws found herself a bit disoriented. Delilah wasn’t faring much better. This would make the next round much more difficult for them. At least, her spell managed to hit target this time. It was a small success but success nonetheless.

I still need a post from Delilah.

@Delilah Stewart

@Eun-ji Lee Hunt | @Alec Mason | @Meenauh Silmataurea

Her spell missed again, she really had to step her game up, it was just good that the spell sparked and hit Alec with the splinters. She heard Alecs spell and nodded, honestly smart move. The bravery spell was a clever one, although the use of it could be construed to the meaning of original cowardice. But Delilah wasn't likely to judge other peoples spell usages. Although within seconds, she was almost entirely blinded by a Lumos Maxima.

Dazzled by the bright light, Nessie almost didn't realize the duel was continuing. To be fair, Meenauh was continuing to maintain the spell, which meant technically Nessie still had her whole attention on the duel. It wasn't her fault that this part of the duel was so very bright!

She tried to keep an eye on the others, and noticed Eun-ji casting a slowing charm Meenauh's way, although the spell missed. Not that Nessie was surprised, as it had to be difficult to aim given the lumos maxima going on.

Meanwhile, Nessie watched Alec cast a perfect impediment jinx, but his efforts were foiled when the jinx met with Delilah's well-timed shield charm. The jinx fizzled out, and Nessie personally was quite pleased with the round: impressive spell casting all around, and nobody had gotten hurt. She smiled and nodded her approval to the duellists and then went back to trying not to stare directly at the bright light ... which was turning out to be a more difficult task than it seemed.
