xxAt least the game wasn’t being lost horribly thus far. Maggie would prefer to be winning, wiping the floor with the other team, but since it was so early on, there was no saying how the game might go. Especially since it was tied up already. As Avery made his goal, Maggie couldn’t help but remove her hands from the broom to clap—he was, after all, one of her very first friends at Hogwarts. That was a debt that could never be repaid, taking a chance on another person.

She had half-expected that this game would last a bit longer. The chaos of the pitch usually prevents the Seeker from making an early find. That meant that he would be a target and a volley of bludgers would be headed his way. She wondered if he would survive a catch, the meta has been to target the Seeker to prevent the snitch grab but there has been an increased focus on quaffle grabs and thinning the opposition as well.

Action: Whatever Dan submits.

Broom:

Firebolt

• +4 to a single stat of choice (picked accuracy)
• In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself).
• In the role of Beater, if an ALLY dodges a bludger during the round, there is a 20% chance that you catch that bludger with your bat and you send it at a RANDOM enemy target.
  
  Note: For the rules lawyers out there: you are not considered your own ally.

It was another furious skirmish for the Quaffle on both teams, with Slytherin sending in the troops in hopes of racking up points in their favor. But with a talented Keepers defending Gryffindor's hoops, it wouldn’t be so easy. Zoe stood strong, blocking shot after shot, but even the most talented Keeper couldn’t save them all. Haley managed to sneak two goals for Gryffindor in quick succession through the Snakes' unguarded hoops, followed shortly by a score from Slytherin’s Avery. Though the battle was fierce, the Lions would see themselves just barely inch ahead on the scoreboard.

Gryffindor wasted no time sending another volley of attacks towards their opponents. While the Slytherin Beaters were otherwise preoccupied, Pax and Ethan would show no mercy. The former sent a bludger towards the irresistible double target of Cash and Dan, but the two must have been on their toes, as they swerved easily out of the way. Ethan, meanwhile, would help Pax double-team the Slytherins, and even their combined agility wouldn’t save them from the impact that would likely wind them both. Cash would show no weakness, though, and stay firmly atop their broom, with Dan securely on the back.

Ethan’s bludger would ricochet off of the Slytherin duo in search of another target, and it would find Erin with pinpoint, unavoidable accuracy. Impact seemed imminent, and the poor girl would be sent flying from her broom with the laser-precision of the iron bullet. And yet, by some miracle, in the blink of an eye, Erin was just inches out of the path of assured destruction, avoiding an impact that surely would have been the end of her for this match.

Initiative: Pax [19] > Ethan [11]

Dan evasive maneuvers: [d10 : 4]

Dan evasive maneuvers: [d10 : 1]
Cash/Dan evasion: [d20 : 9] + 14 = 23
1100hp - 500 dmg = 600hp remaining

Ethan accuracy (ricochet): [d20 : 18] + 12 + 5 = 35
Erin evasive maneuvers: [d10 : 10]

As Dan was off… chasing? Elena wouldn’t let up on her search for the elusive Snitch, but her efforts would be to no avail. Keen though her eyes, the golden prize would flutter just in her peripheries, not quite clear enough to pursue.

Elena keen eye: [d10 : 4]
Elena wisdom: [d20 : 3] + 19 + 1 = 23

Outcome

Haley Rose scores 20 points for Gryffindor.
Maggie Hawkins scores 10 points for Slytherin.
Ethan bludgers Cash and Dan for 500 dmg, 600 hp remaining.

Haley was in the Spirit, she wanted to make herself, her team and Gryffindor proud. She wanted the Lions to be able to leave the Pitch with a win today. She wanted it, the team wanted it. But will alone was not enough. Besides, Slytherin had the same will and they were strong opponents. It would surely be an exciting game for the spectators, so far it was a back and forth between the teams, but who of the two would win it in the end?

Haley only knew that she would do her best possible part to make sure that the Gryffindor would win today. She gave it her all and kept on trying to score more points for the Lions. But for the most part, the attempts were all that remained. Haley was annoyed, but she knew it was not because she was playing particularly badly, but also because of the strong keepers. But Haley managed to score another 10 points for Gryffindor, still the joy didn't last long, because the snakes quickly made up for the points.

It was to continue, continue to fight, play better and stronger.

Ugh, during the one time that he actually grabbed the quaffle, he failed to score against the Gryffindor keeper. Gosh darn it! That was too bad. However, the small boy's smile brightened as he saw his friend and teammate Maggie Hawkins do what she did best. "Go, Maggie!" he called out, whizzing past with a fist in the air to cheer on his friend.

Then, it all happened fast, too fast. Her team had now 20 points. Slytherin also had 20 points.

Hannah flew around on her broom. It was a tie again, but this time, there wasn't much luck for Slytherin. The girl was completely happy about that.

Well, she hoped her team would continue lucky, and she really did. The whole team wanted to win, and Hannah wanted to make her team proud, she always did, from the start.

To win, however Hannah needed to do her own part, and she was doing somewhat well, so far.

Dan was still up, somehow. He had already taken a beating so he was not going to last very long. She had been daydreaming and had missed his previous order, failing to again backbeat Ethan and Elaina. She had been a bit in her head as of late, perhaps it was not as empty as she had thought. From thinking about rivals and enemies, obviously no friends. She did not deserve them, nor did she have them. She just had a festering distrust for others and lingering sense of personal inadequacy she had to wrestle with as she stopped asking why and started just saying 'okay.'

People she knew would unceremoniously disappear and she would learn to miss them. People would fall short of her expectations. People would disappoint and the little uncertain voice in her head that told her how unworthy, foolish and unlovable she was would prove right. There was a want to feel power somehow even when facing this eventuality, this want to be better in spite of it all. Stronger, faster, smarter, something to fear if friendship was not possible. If the whispers would persist regardless.

She would prepare herself to fly between Dan and the bludger(s) likely aimed for his head or to blast through a portion of the enemy team with the next strike of her bat.

Action: Whatever Dan submits.

Ethan grinned as he successfully hit Dan and Cassandra, who were sharing a broom, with a well-placed bludger. The force of the hit was strong, but not enough to take them out. The Bludger then ricocheted off of Erin, narrowly missing her. Ethan let out a groan of disappointment. Ethan turned his attention to Elena, who was still frantically searching for the snitch. "Go, Elena, go!" he shouted, hoping to give her a boost.

The longer Beatrice watched, the more her nerves calmed. Something about watching the Quaffle getting thrown from one team to the other and following the players with her eyes, was peaceful. Of course there was still a lot of adrenaline in the air as well but it seemed to phase Beatrice less with every minute she was sitting on the bench. One team scored a goal, then the other. There was nothing like Quidditch, rooting for your team and hoping you would win. It was a beautiful sport. Green and Red mixed together in the sky and the players played as fast and precise as they could. Sitting back, Beatrice mindlessly fiddled with her sleeve, her eyes trying to fixate on every single one if the players.

Where by Godric's black, flappy mustache was that blasted Snitch at? That was the furious thought running through Elena's mind as she zipped this way and that in a frenzy also while debating with herself about whether Godric Gryffindor had indeed possessed a mustache.

It seemed the Bludger had rattled her quite a bit but usually, it didn't take her this long to set her sights on the damned thing and she was beginning to realize just how desperately behind she was.

Ethan's shout seemed to egg her on and she shot a thumbs-up as the brunette flew past in a hot streak drawing a search pattern in whatever way she could. "Working on it." Elena muttered under her breath sincerely hoping one of those Bludgers would do their due diligence and introduce the Slytherin Seeker to the many wonders of what happened when broom met bludger.

She thought she saw a speck of gold, maybe but it was hard to tell, really as she nudged her broom in the general direction hoping for any ounce of luck, anything that would betray it's position as the ensuning battle raged behind her.

2. In the role of Seeker, if an opponent attempts to Bludger or Blatch you, there is a 20% chance that you veer out of the way the last second and another enemy player at RANDOM is targeted instead.

3. In the role of Seeker, when using the search action if you critically fail on your search you get a re-roll in an attempt to find the snitch. In an attempt to grab the snitch, if you critically fail on your attempt to grab the snitch you get to re-roll your attempt to grab the snitch.
