Hexwizard Task 1: Beauxbatons v Durmstrang

While it was clear that Durmstrang had the better team, in regards to their teamwork, strategy, and strength, the Beauxbatons team would annoyingly step out of the way of most of their most devestating attacks. At the very least, Gresha's powerful shot landed, and Yefim would shake a clenched fist excitedly as he watched the enemy King make the mistake of standing in the way. Gresha's magical skill matched the enemy Queen, in that she too was able to shoot multiple shots in one go. As good as it was though, it was still just barely not enough. The elation would be followed by gritted teeth and a grunt of frustration.

Momentarily, Niffler would dance around him, pushing the other team out of their coveted spot in the middle of the board, and distracting the death ray from hitting his target. This would be a relief, for as great as any plan was, it was useless without the pieces that made it work. [”Fit as ever, thanks to you.”]

At the very least, Beauxbatons had not downed any more of their people, though Yefim would be surprised to notice Hanya getting blocked by a bishop of theirs sprinting forward. Had they somehow known about Hanya's exceptional healing skill, and that he had been heading to Mikael? Yefim didn't know how that nerd got it in his mind to intercept, but it was annoying. The Durmstrang team could have won by now, but they wouldn't make the mistake of underestimating the threat in from of them. Instead, they would meet every challenge with an equal counter. Unlike them, who seemed to be happy to waste their time hitting everyone BUT the champion, their King was barely hanging on to the last vestiges of life. It was only a matter of time before they were surrounded, alone, and unconscious.

[”You're amazing, fishlet!!”] Yefim would praise, focusing on the positive. [”We're winning. We're almost there. Let's teach these fools what defeat tastes like.”]

Interacting with: @Aida Mòrsgor-Ama Ellwood

With her feet taking off before she she had planned out exactly why she was moving forward, Roberta felt as though it was no matter of chance she found herself rebuffed by the pale boy now grinning before her. Rather, it was a lack of preparation on her part, the mistake of not knowing her enemy. She hadn't noticed the white king worming his way between her target and herself until much too late but then again being slapped by the human equivalent of a wet noodle had hardly injured her. Moreso he had thrown her off her balance. Well if it was a dance they wanted, then it was a dance they would get.

Despite it being Yefim's blood that she wanted... no... needed in order to put an end to all of this, she would not think twice before tearing through all of Durmstrang to her dying breath but only if she had to. Anything to get her position through to him clearly. Wiping the creep off her shoulder with pride, she would retort in an icy-cold breath, [English]"An exchange of pardons seems fair enough then." Leveling her wand, she would give them each exactly what they had demanded of her. Forgiveness and retaliation in the same stroke of the wand. The dance of duelists.

ABILITIES |
-Evasive Maneuvers I & II- Harder to hit on average, 10% on auto-dodge chance that anything that targets this wizard automatically misses. This is rolled separate from the attack roll.

This ability can be acquired up to 2 times. When acquired twice, this stacks so when acquired a second time this becomes a 20% chance.

-Lovely Creature- You are very distracting to look at. This increases the Control DC of spells in duels and adventures by +2 as well as the DC for finding things in adventures or the DC for finding the snitch in a game of Quidditch. This ability does not stack.

-Fearless- Fear effects such as a dhampir's aura, the ability terrible presence, a lycanthrope's intimidation or certain charms, potions and jinxes that would normally cause a fear effect do not work on you as you are immune to them.

mentions Horntail Horde, all
speaking in russian, unless specified otherwise

Speak of the damn devil!

Heckled by the singular topic of their conversation, Johannes let his attention drift towards the spectator stands surrounding them and, in English (because he wanted Hadrian to know exactly what he thought about the guy without guesswork), called his protests. “Butt out of this, blondie! It’s your own fault.”

Semi-distracted as he was to express his obvious distaste, Johannes’ attempt to push into the black square behind their Valkyrie was unexpectedly blocked by his enemy bishop. Whatever (most likely aggressively Russian and just as aggressively confused) comment he was going to say in response to was lost to time as he found his arm held in a iron grip, green eyes glaring him down.

“Shit-“

Wrenched closer and then upwards, Johann found himself being judo-flipped onto his back, landing harshly on the ballroom floor with an unprepared, untrained breakfall. It was clear that most of his experience came from improvised street fighting and, involuntarily upended as he was, there was no mutual agreement of injury prevention. “Fuuucking hell!” This was no tatami mat, nor those overused foam tiles, but unforgiving stone and his overly heavy tome wasn’t helping his disoriented center of gravity.

But the cherry on top of his ‘ow wtf’ sundae was the sheer nonchalance Squirrelboy maintained while taking Johannes’ intended position. Temporarily reduced to a poor pawn in the battle for dominance, it was as if their exchange had never happened. There was no way the other could just walk off without a word, not in Johann’s books. “Man, what’s your damage?” Better question: What did they feed those twinks? One would think Beauxbatons - priding themselves in elegance and the dandification of pureblooded culture - wouldn’t be so aggressive, but it seemed that today was full of surprises.

Shooting his enemy bishop a dirty look, Johannes carefully pulled himself up to his feet and brushed himself off with one hand. Perhaps it was a bit stupid of him (it was absolutely very stupid of him), but even the pain lancing through his shoulder could not stop him from scooping up his fallen tome.

Likely sprained from the initial liftoff, but nothing that a quick healing spell wouldn’t fix. This was why they had healers! This was why they had Romeo, and why he was training himself in the same craft. He could hold out until the end. It was no biggie. With the power of magic, anything was possible - even the strange logic of life sized wizarding chess.

Whether it was due to the enchantment, the game or the tome itself, Johannes wasn’t going to risk finding out what damaging the spine of his big book of inspirational quotes would result in. Steeling himself for a take back, he only hoped that his reputational damage didn’t effect his dignity too much.

If Lysander was bragging before, he certainly had little to say now. In his dedication to protecting the team, he was not quick enough in looking out for himself, Cassie’s attack striking him in the face and trunk. The force sent him backwards, slumping against the side of the chariot as his hands struggled with the reins to keep him mounted. <“…I let her do that,”> he lied in Felix’s direction, suppressing the urge to rip off his helmet and tend to the gush of blood underneath it. From the nose, no doubt. No big deal, really. With a roll of his shoulder, he was prepared to dish it right back.

STATS: STA 12; EVA 20; STR 13; WIS 5; ARC 0; ACC 15 ABILITIES: Evasive Maneuvers I, Evasive Maneuvers II, Charmer, Fearless

ACTIONS: N/A

The enemy champion was there. Right there in front of her. Greta almost lost her breath with the sudden realization and the rush of adrenaline that came with it. Her moment was now. If there was ever a time that she could do something to help turn the tide of battle back into their favor, it was now. If she was going to do anything to make Yefim proud, she would have to act swiftly.

And she did. Raising her wand, she took aim. Just before she could invoke the incantation, however, the enemy champion moved deftly to get out of her line of fire. In a bit of desperation, Greta split her spell, sending one towards the individual who would serve as the girl's defense and one towards the champion herself. With luck, the first spell would strike with enough force to fell the bulwark, allowing the second through to hit its mark.

It almost worked. At the very least, the Norwegian could say that she had no longer done nothing. Both spells landed solidly, the expressions of discomfort lending a sort of satisfaction to the effort. She could see them. Wavering. It almost looked like one would even fall. But she didn't. They were fatigued, and weakened, but still standing.

"I'm sorry..." The gritted groan of frustration from her own champion sliced into her heart, compelling her apology. Even the affirmation that followed only worked a little to soften her own mounting frustration. But she tried to take it to heart, using this new moment of glory as a turning point and setting her jaw. Determination crept through her. She could taste victory. They were almost there.

Action: As Strategized

Kings

Hide Away: The King must save himself, he hides behind an adjacent allied piece and takes half damage (the piece they are hiding behind also takes half damage). Damage is not healing or buffs, it is just damage. Evasion here would be a separate roll for both the King (for their half) and the piece that they are hiding behind. This action occurs during the action phase which is before the movement phase, but has priority (meaning it happens before attacks, so an attack may not be possible or may be redirected towards another piece that is now "in the way.") The space is chosen by the King and must be adjacent to an allied piece. If the space is occupied, there would be a contested strength check to determine who will remain in this space unless the adjacent piece is an ally in which case a contested check is not needed. This is action can be done in addition to the movement phase.

Reckless Barrage: The King is able to blast any piece adjacent to them with arcane energy. This scales with arcane power, the equation is as follows: 25*AP

The two Kings, Cassanora Browne (@Hugh Lowe) and Valentin Schnell (@Aida Mòrsgor-Ama Ellwood) should Hide Away. That is what the King does. Well, that was what Valentin would do as he slipped behind Yefim. Partially in his own defense but also in Yefim's as well. If their leader went down, then the game would be over.

Valentin Hides Away behind Yefim (E5).

Cassanora Browne would break from conventional wisdom and perform Reckless arrage, attempting to beat-down Cielle or whoever was in range for that matter. No more hiding away, waiting for her team to save her - she was going to fight.

Cassanora performs Reckless Barrage on cielle

Attack 3 + 10 MISS

10% chance to auto-hit 43
10% chance to auto-miss 40

Evasion 5 + 9 (+3 King)

She would miss her desperate bid to take down the Durmstrang intruder that had encroached upon her space.

Rooks

Rapid Defense: They defend another allied piece as their primary action. This action takes place before the movement phase and takes priority in the action phase over attacks made against a specified piece. Similar to defending in Quidditch where a user blocks an oncoming attack made by a specific target, attacks made against this piece would be relegated to this piece (regardless of the direction of attack). If another piece attempts to land in the space that the defender chose (a specific, declared space adjacent to the chosen target), a strength check is rolled. This piece has advantage on this roll. This action does not consume the pieces movement for the round, they can still move, but their movement is considered to be the last movement in the round according to the action stack.

Milo Durand (@Delilah Stewart) need to protect their champion at all costs. The girl was barely standing and if they did not concentrate their full efforts on her, she was not going to make it. So he did what he had to do, he rushed with his chariot to place himself between the teen and any danger.

Milo performs Rapid Defense cassanora (B6)

Lysander Stavrou (@Phaedra Stavrou), the inhuman wall of a man would make his way in front of Felix, their Queen. Felix was on his last leg, but it would not matter if nobody is able to touch him.

Lysander performs Rapid Defense on Felix (c5)

He was a hardy boy and rather nimble as the opposition had learned. Even if he failed to avoid an assault, it would take a small army to take him down.

Bishops

Invocation: Capable of blasting a target at a distance. This can move through allied (but not enemy) spaces on a diagonal. Arcane Power x 25.

Roberta Martin (@Sylvain Wylt) was one of the mouther members of Beauxbatons. She could attempt to heal... *squints* nobody. But she could inflict violence. Valentin and cielle both were within range. She wanted to finish off Valentin, the King. Give them fewer allies on the board. However, Valentin moved out of the way (Hide Away) and was no longer in range of Roberta's wrath. This did, however leave Great open for consideration.

Roberta randomly targets a user if Valentin is not in range for Invocation -- Greta or cielle. (cielle)

Attack (Roberta) 8 + 10 (-1 Charmer) MISS

10% auto-hit 42

Evasion (cielle) 11 + 9 (+3 King)

Roberta would miss her quarry. it was regrettable really as she was too close to cassanora for comfort.

Andre Alarie (@Alec Mason) has the same idea, cut them down before Durmstrang could recover. Johannes was the only one in range, so he would make his way from the back and cut his way to Yefim if he had to!

Andre performs Invocation on Johannes.

Attack (Andre) 2 + 8 (-1 Charmer) MISS

10% auto hit 76
10% auto miss 89

Evasion (Johannes) 9 + 11

10% auto-dodge 64

The odds were not in Andre's favor as the tired and battered Durmstrang student evaded what might have been a felling blow had it landed.

Johannes and Greta both had similar ideas. Johannes cyprian Sauer (@Astrea Soleil Neptune), what a mouthful of a name, would try to take out cassie. She was hidden distantly behind Yefim and Lysander both, but Invocation cared not for allies that stood in the way of violence. Just barely in range, Johannes would make the attack.

Johannes performs Invocation on cassie

Attack (Johannes) 12 + 12 (-1 Charmer) Auto MISS

10% auto-hit 15
10% auto-miss 6 Success

Evasion (cassie) 8 + 11 (+3 King)

He would wing the attack. Apparently the dive hate murder today or trying to aim past his allies was just too much. cassie would remain unharmed and in spite of the odds, live on.

Margarethe "Greta" Fransson (Evelynn Decipio) was going to shut Roberta up once and for all. The girl was within range and she had a clear shot as long as it landed.

Greta performs Invocation on Roberta.

Attack (Greta) 9 + 15 (-1 Charmer) HIT
10% auto-hit 70
Evasion (Roberta) 3 + 15

20% auto-dodge 54

Damage Done: 25 * 12 = 300. 10% less damage done = 270.

She would land the blow, not that the damage was devastating but it was a start for the little Horntail.

Knights

Slayer: The Knight attacks a target adjacent to themselves. Strength x 50, plus 10% of the total damage done for three rounds (considered bleeding). This cannot critically hit.

Eagle Eye: Capable of targeting someone either on the diagonal or in a straight line up to 3 squares. Cannot target through enemy or allied squares. 50 x Stamina.

Cielle Posey Johansen (@Ivy Bellamy) remained alive on the backlines, being a menace to Beauxbatons in spite of their best efforts. She was going to try to finish cassanora off, the girl was hardly standing. She would attempt to take the final blow, the kill shot if you will, when Milo rushed in the way of the attack.

cielle performs Slayer on cassanora, redirected to Milo due to rapid defense.

Attack 11 + 12 (-1 Charmer) (+3 King) Auto-HIT

10% auto-hit 4 Success

Evasion (Milo) 20 + 12 (+3 King)

Damage Done: 15 (+3 King) * 50 = 900 10% less damage = 810 initial damage, 81 damage per round (bleed)

The knight would strike Milo hard, but Milo was a durable lad and it was going to take more than a single blow to bring him to his knees.

Yefim Rumyantsev (@Flash Holmwood), Durmstrang and knight, he had a ranged attack. Something that would prove to be an invaluable asset to him at this moment as he took aim. Andre was just below him, but Greta was in the way. Looking to either side he would check and see no opportunity.

Maximilien, empowered by cassanora's glorious light would also try to put an end to cielle. A solid hit might be all they needed to take her down or to devastate their morale.

Maxi performs Eagle Eye on cielle

Attack (Maxi) 1 + 11 (-1 Charmer) (+3 King) crit failure negated by Perfectionist. MISS

10% auto-hit 61
10% auto-miss 7

Evasion (cielle) 9 + 9 (+3 King)

If Maximilien de Fostoncy (@Lindsey Springhall) was nor a perfectionist, that would have been real embarrassing. Much to the moderator's disappointment, he was a perfectionist. In fact one of the highest degree (II) and was immune to inadvertent self-harm.

Cassie Heather McGregor-Martin (@Lucia Fox) would also pick a target. Lysander being her intended in spite of their earned perception as a wall of immovable man. She was going to give him nightmares.

cassie performed eagle eye on Lysander.

Attack (Cassie) 19 + 11 (+3 King) = 32 MISS

10% chance to auto-hit 61

Evasion (Lysander) 14 + 20 = 34

20% auto-dodge 100

Cassie would miss Lysander. He was going well as a meat tank, much to France's dismay.

Queens

Mistress' (or Master's) Wrath: A ranged attack that can go in any direction the Queen can move. It cannot move through allied/enemy squares. A blast of arcane energy can be felt across the board. Arcane Power x 50. However, this attack is done at disadvantage and can only target 1 target.

Queen Felix Kolbeck (@Winnie Harper) was here to make a show of the destruction he would bring. His initial target would be Amaury, who was no longer protected by Milo.

Felix Kolbeck performs Master's Wrath at Amaury.

Attack 8 + 8 (-1 Charmer) (+3 King) = 18 Auto HIT

10% chance to auto-hit 10 Success

Evasion 13 + 14 = 27

10% auto-dodge 91

Damage Done: 8 (+3) * 50 = 550 10% less damage done 495

It would hit and it was enough... Amaury would crumble. (KO)

But before Amaury Favreau (@cecily Quinn) went down, it would be tit for tat.

Amaury performs Master's Wrath on Felix. Felix is protected by Lysander.

Attack 11, 5 + 16 (-1 Charmer) (-2 Spell Spread) = 24, 18 MISS

10% chance to auto-hit 22
10% auto-miss 92

Evasion 4, 1 + 20 = 24, 21

20% auto-dodge 85

Amaury would miss Felix, or rather Lysander as he pushed the Queen out of the way and then avoided the attack. However, Lysander was not Amaury's objective, it was the champion. The spell would spread around the main target and attempt to engulf Yefim. The Nffler was there, at Yefims side. They might very well die together.

Spread to Yefim, partially targeted to Valentin due to Hide Away.

Attack (Amaury) 2 + 16 (-1 Charmer) (-2 Spell Spread) = 15 HIT

10% chance to auto-hit 22
10% auto-miss 60

Evasion (Yefim) 1 + 7 (+3 King) = 11
Attack (Amaruy) 4 + 16 (-1 Charmer) (-2 Spell Spread) = 17 MISS

10% chance to auto-hit 25
10% auto-miss 13

Evasion (Valentin) 5 + 14 = 19

10% auto-dodge 92

Damage Done: 14 * 50= 700 10% less damage done = 630. Half Damage due to Hide Away = 315.

Had Cassanora been just a bit more near, Amaruy might have struck all three of them. However, it was not meant to be. Yefim would be the only one harmed in the strike. It was not enough to take him out, but it would give him a taste of mortality. A dark wound would start to form.

Though Yefim had been promising the group that the match would be over soon, the truth was that the French students were quite astute at keeping their champion alive despite the constant barrage and chase. The Durmstrang's goal was clear at this point to annyone who was watching: take the center, and be aggressive and risky to end the game through sheer power and positioning. If they succeeded in drawing out the game for a long time, the weakness would start to show. Everyone on their team had taken at least one hit, except for Gresha. Mik was on the ground unconscious now just to make that much true.

For as nice as it looked to have more players standing than the enemy team, it was a deceptive and tenuous lead. For all the pieces they had, each one had taken more of a beating than most of their pieces left standing. One was right to be impressed by their survival of the powerful enemy queen, who had been a thorn in their side the entire game. With their defenses slowly weakening, Valya could not prevent the magic from finally gracing the flesh of the before-untouched Yefim. It would hurt, but he only recieved a fraction of the blast, and had been shielded by Hanya only a moment before. Feeling the inevitability of the long game Beauxbatons was drawing out, Yefim would tense. However, good news was right behind it. Felya landed another hit, the exact one they needed to keep the game going.

[”YES!”] Yefim would roar, bouncing up and down in the white horse's saddle. [”My queen! You make Durmstrang proud!”]

There were still many obstacles in their way to winning, as it looked like their champion bunkered down in her corner with her remaining entourage surrounding her. At least now his team wouldn't have to be constantly ducking around kill shots.

[”Thank you again, Valya. This is the plan.”]

As he continued, despite speaking a language the opposing studetns no doubt could not understand, Yefim would whisper to his white king the strategies he was to proliferate to the rest of their tight-knit group. This was far from over, but the victor had already been decided.

“FIMAAA!!” yelled Valentin as he dove to cover his champion. Yet, though deflecting part of the oncoming attack, Valya couldn’t do it all. Certainly this was not for lack of effort, as this wasn’t just a game to the white king. Defending Yefim was his true wish, whatever the context, and the match might as well have been a real battle for as seriously as Valentin fought for him. Furthermore, with Mikael in a disturbing state of collapse on the ground, Valentin knew he had to take up his fallen ring brother’s burden atop his own if he was going to protect Yefim and their Horde from whatever dark sickness claimed Misha. The Horde fought on, but everyone was looking worse for wear, and some were on the verge of collapse. We must maintain this steel resolve, just a little longer, thought the frost captain. Clenching his scepter against the golden ring on his right hand, Valya rose the gleaming icicle-gem beacon into the air with a warcry. “RAAAHHH!! GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT!”

Once the Beauxbatons finished revealing their lack of aim practice, Yefim whispered of strategy to Valya, whose low voice then passed the message to those nearest him in perfect secrecy. The seeker knew how far his bell-tone voice could carry from experience, but through his soft tone’s control, it wouldn’t have even mattered if all of the Beauxbatons understood Russian.

«Ничего не сдерживай, даже на последнем издыхании! Мы вернем тебя, несмотря ни на что, обещаю». (“Don’t hold anything back, not even on your last breath! We’ll bring you back no matter what, I promise.”)

Doing as strategized. Interacting with @Flash Holmwood

There were few in range for whom Greta had a clear shot. The only real one was the French girl with whom Greta had dueled similarly to this that summer past. She really was remarkable, the little horntail had to admit. Her movements could only be described as elegant and none could question her ability on the board or the validity for her presence on the Beauxbatons team.

Greta envied her. Admired her. She wished she could be so tall and lovely as that girl, to turn heads and always seem to have the right thing to say just like her. The lapse of thought was almost enough to make her lose her opportunity to strike. But the calls from her teammates quickly grounded her. Fresh from her rather redeeming action moments earlier, confidence had once again started bubbling within the Norwegian.

"Too slow!" she shouted, sending forth her invocation. With satisfaction, it landed, but Greta would still spout a noise of frustration as the elder student darted safely out of the way of any follow-up. "You hide now, but I am to find again!"

Roleplaying as André Alarie from Beauxbatons - peek at his ency here!
Language | French | English in italics | Russian is Underlined

André has been learning phrases from the languages of participating schools in the hexwizard tournament done for the specific intent of talking smack(trash talk). Even poor Maxi wasn't let in on his plan because André was aware he wouldn't get away with it otherwise

Of course, it had happened once again. Despite all of Andre's smart tactics, he was outwitted once more. It would have been a shame to take in the failure yet he found himself projecting it outward this time around. Projecting his annoyance to the insecent ants that continued to thrive and were somehow a part of humanity. He couldn't believe it either and yet here they were. He had wished for better competitors. He was feeling foolish to be beaten by the meager.
