Closed Lily Brown vs. Axyen Dragonclaw The Kind and The Brave

Competitors @Axyen Dragonclaw @Lily Brown

Tristan suspected there to be some cheating occurring as the gobstones of certain rounds had indeed disappeared two at a time rather than one. However, he had not caught either of the players red handed and thus could not mete out the punishment for the cheating. Both opponents currently retained four stones on the ring and thus had successfully brought their game to a tie. It has been a very interesting game so far. The two competitors were quite eager to cheat and having already tried once, were confident enough to try again. Both cast Flipendo, but perhaps it was fate or lack of power, neither spell successfully affected any of the stones on the board. Tristan once again however did not catch the act of cheating and only saw the next step of action both of the players enacted. Axyen attempted and succeeded at throwing a catapult throw, knocking out Lily’s stone with a great arc. Lily attempted and succeeded at throwing a careful throw, knocking out Axyen’s stone. Once again, the round had led to a tie. There were exactly three gobstones left for each person in the game. At this point, either could win, with a tip of a scale, where one cheats successfully or perhaps where one gets caught cheating. Tristan of course did not demonstrate his keen desire to see the most catastrophic ending to the game but he did offer a quick gleeful smile, as he wrote down the scores and announced such.

Axyen watched as his spell failed, but he managed to get a successful throw, Axyen would need to cheat just one more time to get ahead, then there would be no more cheating. This had all started ever since the first few rounds, and now the match was finally nearing its end. Axyen thought for a moment, thinking of the wisest move to pull right now. Axyen had to pick carefully, since the match was near its end, his next move needed to be precise, it needed to be perfect, and he couldn't mess up his spell again. Thankfully it seemed that Lily's spell had also failed as she was unable to knock off two of Axyen's gobstones.

Axyen had to think carefully, and he reached into his robes and then stopped. He would try to do this without any cheating, this was supposed to be fun, not into whatever this match has become. With a smile and a new perspective on the Gobstones match, Axyen would pick up his gobstone with confidence, if he didn't make this it would put him at a terrible disadvantage. Axyen aimed his gobstone carefully, looking at the board. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion, making it more intense for Axyen as he threw the gobstone and waited for the results anxiously. Every single throw would be crucial if it came down to winning this match, maybe with a bit of luck Axyen could win.

The cheating seemed to have stopped for the moment and neither opponent had attempted anything morally gray of the sort. Tristan was glad to see the fun and spirit of the game return although he often enjoyed the murkish moralities of life. He saw Axyen begin his throw as well as Lily McCoire. They both threw a different move, Axyen with his previously successful Catapult, and Lily with her also previously successful careful throw. Tristan was excited to see who would win this match as both were tied at the moment, three versus three left on the ring. It was a tense, neck to neck game that could go either way. Axyen’s gobstone arched perfectly in the air, hit Lily’s stone and flung it out of the ring. Tristan thought perhaps he would win. However, Lily’s previously successful throw was successful once more, perfectly matching Axyen’s stone and sliding it off the ring. They were once again tied, two stones each on the ring. The game could end in the next one or two rounds depending on if the opponents could cheat and get away with it. However, they would have to weigh the cost of getting caught as whoever did not get caught would win the entire game, not just the round.

Axyen had a successful throw, so did Lily, he had to admit, this was much more fun than just cheating. Now he needed to think, and quickly. He couldn't mess up as the game was slowly coming to an end and Axyen knew that if he acted too slow or started overthinking, it could really make him lose. He did not want to return to the castle smelling bad, so now there was only one thing he could do right now... really focus, he was thinking of what to do. He also wondered what happened if there was a tie? For now, he needed to think of what type of throw he wanted to do, physical strength was never exactly something he was known for, so what if he tried to throw the Gobstone in such a manner that required little to no strength at all? That was what Axyen was going to do, he was once again going to do a catapult throw, it'd focus on his arms to try and create enough movement and not need to be physically strong in the slightest.

Axyen looked at the Gobstones, he narrowed his eyes, focusing mainly on the Gobstones, the only thing in this world was him and the gobstone he was aiming at. He threw his gobstone, and the only thing he could do now was watch where it went. It would be a lie if Axyen said he was not nervous. Now he had to see what Lily would do in this scenario, and of course hope she didn't cheat. Even if she did, he would just have to hope Tristian caught the cheating, which would hopefully make Axyen the winner by default. Either way, he would need to see where this went...
