Hexwizard Task 1: Mahoutokoro v Ilvermorny

Banner by Hanako Tone

Roleplaying as Ginyami Midorimori from Mahoutokoro
"English | Japanese"

At the devastating blow that Chiaki dealt the opposing white queen, Ginyami's spirits lifted. They might still have actually had a chance at winning despite their champion being the youngest of the schools'. He applauded his fellow knight, hoping to encourage her as she continued to fight on. Not that he didn't have his own fights to focus on.

The white bishop (Stephen) was in his way. Ginyami cast Eagle Eye in his direction, eager to get at the white king (Miles) hiding behind him. While he couldn't completely destroy Stephen with his attack, he was still able to get at Miles through the sheer overflow of his power. He tried to evade, but was hit anyway. Furthermore, though Stephen had survived Ginyami's attack, his remaining luck didn't hold out for long. The bishop soon succumbed to Hadashi, the black queen, and Hadashi seemed quite smug about it as he began to taunt the opposing champion, Miles.

They were going to win this; they had to. Ginyami could feel it. Otherwise, how could he face Valentin after this claiming to have done his best, especially when he knew the Durmstrang student must have been doing his? Spurred on by this thought, the black knight narrowed his eyes and turned toward his next target, determined to remain strong for his team until the end.

King

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.

The champion Kings just needed to survive. A seemingly simple task, 'just don't get hurt' takes on new meaning when placed in a warzone. Dependent on their friends and allies to support them and even suffer for them, Miles and Aryaan both would see the valiant efforts of good people. Good people who would get hurt for the sake of victory and pride. Fate did not favor the bold or the good, only the strong.

Miles (@Simon Kincaid) would turn off his Aura (a free action), at this moment it was doing more harm than good at Mahoutokoro reaped the benefits of his regal aura. He would need to keep on his feet, so he would attempt to slip behind Iris. Iris might buy him the time that he needed.

Miles hides away with Iris moving from D6 to D7

Aryaan (@Fang Hui-Ming) was not going to take any chances. he would slip away behind Sara. He was more durable than credited. They had the advantage for the moment but a single wrong move and the tides would turn against them still.

Aryaan performs hide behind Sara (e3)

Rook

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.

Iris (@Katrina Walker) needed to move quickly, Miles was in trouble as Mahoutokoro converged on the Ilvermorny champion. Iris would rush to Mile's side, to serve as the protector of the school champion. Miles would shift behind her, finding a safe place to hopefully weather the storm.

Iris performs Rapid Defense from C4 to C7.

Sara (@Hanako Tone) would widen his stance as Aryaan slipped behind him. A stoic defender, they would have to hope that they would not be overwhelmed by a flurry of attacks by Ilvermorny.

Sara performs Rapid Defense Aryaan from present location.

After she defended her King, she would break away from him and rush through Runnel's spake to get to her destination. It was like trying to stop a freight train with tissue paper. Runnels was obviously unprepared to take on that ox of a woman and was plowed right on through.

Bishop

Benediction: Using their Stamina they are able to bestow healing upon an allied target. Stamina x 20. The target must be adjacent and on a diagonal.

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.

Intercession: Using their Wisdom, they are able to shield a single target against an attack. The shielded target must be adjacent. They would protect the target for Wisdom x 10. This would take priority over any other attacks done. Remains on a target until it is exhausted. Can be maintained on more than one target. Does not stack.

Ilvermorny's Bishops were already down. Mahoutokoro still had both of theirs. Akira (@Avery chen) needed to heal Chiaki, they had suffered in the last round as they faced off against the Americans.

Akira performs Benediction on Chiaki.

Healing Done: 20 * 5 (+3) = 180

His healing power would imbue Chiaki with enhanced endurance. By bolstering his ally, it might be one less point loss if they cinch this victory.

Chris, the least Asian member of the team would try something new and try to hit something. It was a novel approach to the tournament for Runnels.

Christopher performs Invocation on Rett

Attack 11+ 10 (-1 charmer) Miss

10% chance to auto-hit 40
10% chance to auto-miss 61

Evasion 20 + 10

He would miss yet again, an embarrassing legacy for the young Mahoutokoro student as Rett evaded what would have been the felling blow for the teen.

Knight

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.

Phylicia was probably one of Ilvermorny's greater threats. A durable knight that had not been touched yet by the opposition. Ginyami was unbearably close and isolated, this might be her best chance to diminish their offensive line so they could focus fire those that remained.

Phylicia performs Eagle Eye on Ginyami

Attack 2 + 15 (-1 charmer) Miss
Evasion 19 + 11

10% auto-dodge 100

Yet Ginyami (@Jack Burnett) was more a threat to himself than Phylicia apparently would be as she missed the youth. He would look away in time and avoid the psychic assault. Attacking Phylicia, even with a critically-damaging attack would not be enough to bring the durable girl to her knees. It would be a wasted effort. So, he focused on disrupting or diminishing their action economy.

Ginyami Eagle Eye Rett

Attack 7 + 11 (-1 charmer)

10% auto-hit 75

Evasion 6 + 10

Damage Done: 50 * 11 = 550

Rett would not escape Ginyami's terrible gaze and terrors would overcome him. Sulfur and rot would fill his nares and death would know him, his living nightmare would bring him to his knees. It would bring him to the ground as he was filled with bleak terrors.

Rett is KO

Chiaki (@Pax Zhang) was going to go for Iris, the high-mobile Rook who shot from one end of the board to another with blinding speed sewing discord and chaos across the platform. Iris was unfortunately out of range for Eagle Eye, Iris had slid behind Runnels and unwittingly the boy was now a loud meat shield for the opposition.

Queen

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.

This was going to be Rett's last round, if he knew it or not. He had taken several good, hard, direct hits at this point and he was running on fumes. He was still one of the most powerful pieces on the board and if he could take the enemy Queen with him, he might be able to go-down satisfied.

Master Wrath on Hadashi

Attack 9 + 8 (-1 charmer)

10% chance to auto-hit 79
10% chance to auto-miss 67

Evasion 4 + 10

Damage Done: 10 + 50 = 500. 20% less damage done. 400

His final act would be striking Hadashi with Master's Wrath. As he crumbled to the floor in agony he would see Hadashi (@Dan Palmer) take aim at him. He would never feel the attack land, he was prone on the ground before Hadashi could release the dark attack. Hadashi would be the final queen standing, a phrase that was not likely expected to be said in reference to the teen but it was 2022 and here we were.

Rapid Reviver is an action that requires the user to be adjacent to the target. Wand: When an ally (defined at the start of the thread) is below half of their maximum health, the owner of this wand gains a stacking +1 to their accuracy. This bonus to their accuracy applies to all spells cast at non-allies, which are animate beings (you can't gain a +1 accuracy against your termed "ally" target that you have been attacking for those rules lawyers). This caps at +5 accuracy. (Allies:___)

Silence. He was met with silence.

Frustrated, the Dark King spread his hands out, even as the rest of Mahoutokoro converged on the White Queen with what could only be described as brutal overkill. Some of them hadn't stopped attacking even after the Queen had gone down.

"IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT FOR YOUR TEAM, THATCHER? IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?"

Action: As strategised
Interacting with @Simon Kincaid as Miles Thatcher

Victory! The puny queen of Light was defeated!
But Hadashi's taunt was answered. Answered by a lowly knight of an inferior army who had the audacity to address His Majesty, Queen Hadashi. Saying he had... anger management issues?

"Ooooooh ho ho ho!! Anger management issues, you say? Incorrect as you are, I would MUCH rather suffer from a lack of anger management than a lack of good leadership. But then, that would explain the state of your team, now wouldn't it?"

Then he heard his King Shamsi talking to the white king. And make a lovely opportunity for him.

"Shamsi-kun. Talking to such a lowly ruler is FAR beneath you. I know his type. And he will not stop until he is dead. The other half of that is SUPPOSED to be 'or if he wins'. But-"
Hadashi chuckled.
"-Such a fantasy is so deluded I did not include it."

Hadashi then surveyed the final 3 opponents on the board.

"So. Who's next? Who wishes to be my next plaything?"

More taunting. More half-faux arrogance. More doing as strategized.

Chiaki did need to get a grip. Watching who she probably should've targeted easily slide away, she sighed in disappointment. She hoped she wasn't letting her team down. But then again, the fallen opponents and the aggressive words from her comrades could suggest otherwise.

She moved closer to Sara-san and Shamsi-san, hoping that being closer to them may offer some form of protection.

The Black Queen denied having anger management issues. Okay, sure. "Are you in theatre?" He belonged in theatre. Did Mahoutokoro have a theatre department? If they didn't, they should, specifically for this guy, because he was getting really into this dark queen/gloating villain thing.

Anyway, the odds really were not in their favor. Phyllis missed the Knight she was going for. That was great. What was even better is that he went on to take out Rett. And then Rett fell, and got hit again while on the ground.

... Okay. That was excessive. She really, really hoped Rett could not feel that.

So there was a knocked-out teammate right next to her and another on the diagonal and honestly whatever she'd eaten earlier today, she couldn't really remember what that was at this very moment, wanted to make a second appearance.

It did not, which was good because that would have been caught on camera and no one needed that on camera.

So there went the Fantastic Four, that was short-lived. Now they were the Terrific Three, or something like that. She just hoped that did not become the Dynamic Duo, but the fact was she still hadn't been hit at all and both Iris and Miles had been. Awesome! "Hang in there, guys."

He was glad he wasn't the only one who felt that their opponents were far too theatrical but then again, there were spectators there and he supposed maybe they had a point that it only made sense to give the audience a show.

Let them talk all they want though, Miles wasn't going to stoop to their pettiness. It did annoy him though when they were a little too hard on Rett. That was just uncalled for. If they did lose, Miles would be glad this task was over with and would still be proud to be from a school that could boast better sportsmanship than their opponent school.

"Kohana-senpai, are you okay?"

To be real, he felt death was near and another flow of tears were nearer. Exhaustion was threatening him to say au revoir to the french horse and go back to the safety of his tent. But how could he possibly say that to someone that’s still literally bleeding out. It was good that Akira Shimizu had an infinite amount of handkerchiefs. Sara was about to give out his bloodied one if he didn’t. Truly amazing to be so prepared beforehand.

He had not expected Shimizu to offer words of encouragement. To be fair, Sara has not yet had the pleasure of interacting much with the younger year. Being assured by him through confident words, Sara shed a few happy tears. Being immersed in the pleasant mixture of surprise and glee, he forgot the only handkerchief he had on himself had been stained by blood just a moment ago. Like a halloween inspired eyeshadow, a tint of blood spread on his eyes when wiping his happy tears away. And did he notice? No. This tournament was the worst idea he had ever agreed to ( apart from quidditch ). But at the moment, he allowed himself to find comfort in the continuous support from his team members. That alone enough to have him forget the earlier pain. For now.

“..better” he responded to Akira with a gruff tone and a firm nod. Whether it meant ‘ we better win or else’ or ‘ yea i’m doing better, thank you’, Sara failed to specify. He certainly sounded angry enough for the former. @Avery Chen

He couldn’t help but hide an amused smirk at Hitoshi-senpai’s challenges and Shamsi’s provocation. My, weren’t his teammates a proud bunch? In fact, they were more similar to him than he would think, only Akira was too diplomatic to voice any snide remarks out loud.

He coughed up more blood. He was bleeding fast. But, what was a little blood when you’ve vomited slugs and suffered burning flesh? The Japanese boy looked to the fallen bodies littering the board. He would’ve thought that the event organizers would’ve been more humane, and felt a slight confusion as to why the downed children were left unattended, but he supposed this was Hogwarts, and in this uncultured zoo, anything went. He was not going to let their intimidation tactics make him weak.

There was so much going on now and Iris was caught between trying to ignore what'd she'd seen- now more than a few moments prior- and trying to just stay alive and conscious. Two things were apparently a lot to do.

Iris took more of a defensive stance, moving so she could better protect the few of her team that were left. It admittedly didn't look fantastic but who knows, maybe everyone else was one hit away from collapse too and they could still win this!

The entire board was just a gruesome sight at this point and Iris did her best to stay focused by just protecting and trying to last one more round.
