Quidditch Hufflepuff vs Slytherin - Spring 2024

───────────────────────────────────

As both teams take to the field, Avery slides into position and takes a moment to stretch her arms out and relieve some of the anxious energy that had been building up all day. Though the excitement was still there, she couldn't help but circle back to the understanding that this would be the last game she would get to play alongside Howard before he graduated, and the speech he gave before they took to the skies. She looks over towards their captain, offering him a nod and a bright smile as she tries to dispel those worries until later.

Pivoting in place to look over at one of her other fellow Hufflepuff captains, albeit for a different sport. Glancing towards the ref to make sure there was time to get back into position before the whistle, Avery hovers slightly closer toward Alyssea with a small, understanding smile. "This is what we've been training for, we've got this."

The afternoon sun brought a small smile to Koko's lips as the sixth year entered the Quidditch Stadium for the school year's final game. True to fashion, her hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail, and despite wearing her Keeper gear, she still donned her usual golden hoop earrings ─ what point was there in playing if she couldn't do it how she wanted to?

Her gear weighed a bit more heavily than usual on her shoulders as she surveyed the ground, the sky, the stands. Recently, the Slytherin team had gone through a bit of an overhaul, but she hoped it was for the better. Glancing at Percival, Remedy and Ulysses, she was certain this game would turn out well. They were all more than capable to wrap up the season with a lovely green-and-silver bow.

It seemed the Hufflepuffs were a bit intimidated, so much so that they had to make a slanderous cheer. Sure, the Slytherins were perhaps slimier and sneakier ─ but when had that ever been a bad thing? Koko's smile hardened into a smirk, and she let out a soft chuckle.

To the Slytherin Quidditch team, she said, 'We'll definitely be sneaky and slimy ─ sneaky and slimy enough to win this. Awesome job so far, everyone. We've just got to pull through now!'

She would glance at Erin. The seventh year, although intimidating, was crucial to the team, and Koko's smile faded slightly as the reality sunk her heart: Erin was graduating this year. She'd be off to whatever scary seventh years got up to after graduation, probably something good, but it was bittersweet nonetheless.

'Let's win this,' Koko said, her voice lower this time, and she wasn't quite sure if she was speaking to the team or to herself.

She mounted her broom as she always did, and her spirits lifted as she floated up in the air. As much as Koko could be self-conscious, this was the one place she truly felt comfortable in her own skin: in the sky, on a broom, surrounded by her teammates and their competition.

Alluring Reducio If a Part-Veela is being attacked there will be an urge to assist or protect them. Each round there is a 10% chance that an opponent in a duel or a moderated situation will decide to ally with the Part-Veela even against their own allies and attempt to protect them. This is not necessarily a romantic thing, but rather could be roleplayed as a fascination, a desire to not let something pretty be ruined, etc. This has nothing to do with sexual attraction unless as an RP'er that is what the user wishes to RP it as. This ability does not affect other Veela or Part-Veela. It will not stack if multiple Veela or Part-Veela are present. Evasive Maneuvers - 10% Auto-dodge Scream: N/A Calming Presence - Allies (SLYTHERIN) have 10% chance of auto-success Keeper's Catch - Will be specified in actions sent Reducio 10% chance to automatically block an attempt to score a goal as long as the Keeper is taking an action in the goal area. If an attempt to score has been blocked through this effect, the Keeper may take one of the following three as a free action: hurl the quaffle at the opponent team in an attempt to injure a player of their choice, pass the quaffle to a teammate who is taking a quaffle-related action, or attempt to score on the opponent. This must be declared by the Keeper if any of these free actions are to be utilized, for example: Keeper: Block [& Pass to x if Keeper's Catch goes off] - the pass recipient must be taking a quaffle related action Keeper: Starfish and Stick [& Attack x if Keeper's Catch goes off] - the action will be equivalent to a bludger action Keeper: Block [& Score if Keeper's Catch goes off]

In the role of Keeper when you attempt to block your goal, if your opponent somehow has advantage on attempting to score a goal, that is negated (they only have their normal single roll against you).

In the role of Keeper a critical success on an attempt to block a goal not only means that the Keeper caught the quaffle but they have also successfully passed the quaffle (without a chance of interception) to an allied target of their choice. A critical failure in this case cannot happen for a Keeper, they get to re-roll the attempt to block.

Note: Critical failure and critical success chances can be expanded with certain abilities and skills.

In the role of Keeper, if the Keeper effectively blocks an attempt to score rather than obtain possession of the quaffle they can kick the quaffle at the user who attempted to score. This must be declared at the time actions are submitted. This would have damage like a bludger using an accuracy roll to hit and the user's strength score to determine the amount of damage done. If the quaffle hits or misses the target, a quafflegrab the next round would be necessary to determine which team has possession of the quaffle again.

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.

Note: The new target still gets their normal dodge attempt. This is not considered to be an auto-dodge, in fact this roll is done before any accuracy rolls are done.

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.

This had been something the eldest Drake had dreamed about since he was five years old and watched his very first Quidditch World Cup. He'd love the skies, feeling the speed while he rode his bewitched broom through the Drake manor, and now he through sheer luck had been a substitute beater for the Slytherin Quidditch team as a first year. There were a few other first years on the team, even Remedy joined (which felt weird?? but whatever, to each their own.)

He looked at his teammates, the range of ages of all of them and noticing that this was the Slytherin ace beater, Erin Ryan's final match with the team. She seemed diabolical on the pit in a way that excited the young asp. He had shown out pretty impressively during the unofficial quidditch match, but now this was a whole new level of play.

And yet, the fire raged on within him to use his new Firebolt out on the field. But, for now, he would bide his time and wait to see if the insane Slytherin Quidditch team would even needed him on the pitch.

[ 01 ] 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).

The warmth of the day cascaded over Ethen as he made his way onto the pitch... on his way to war! Well not really. It was truly only a game of Quidditch but that wasn't the mindset to have. Ethen needed to feel like he was going into battle. There was rarely a game where he didn't get assaulted by bludgers and he needed to be ready. He generally hoped that he would not end up battered to crashing through the air but he was ready to sacrifice himself for victory if that is what it would take.

Positioning himself on his broom, Ethen kicked up and made his way up with his team. They had recent success and he hoped he could keep the momentum going. He owed it to his team to do all he could to ensure their victory. He was feeling loose and honed in. Despite the bright rays of the dastardly sun, Ethen's eyes were keen and ready to pick out the faintest glint. "BADGERS! Victory shall be ours soon enough! We fly as one! EEEEEYAAAAAHH!" Ethen shrieked as he made his way into position. He could not begin a game without giving at least a quick war cry.

Atlas was looking forward to this Quidditch match since, as the last game showed, his team was performing admirably. The other teams they played against were reduced to eating dust while they were dominating. He sincerely thought that today would be the day of victory. It was a Badgers vs. Snakes game, and since snakes are lethal and never let their victims live, this meant that all Hufflepuffs would lose.

"Another day, another win," the young Slytherin Prefect said to himself while taking a seat.

Atlas was thankful they wouldn't be playing in inclement weather for once. While playing in the cold and rain was fun, it did make everything a bit more challenging. She felt locked in to the task at hand. She had allowed too many points during the season and wanted to prove to herself that it had been a fluke. Atlas had been forcing herself to run through as many drills as she could think of to hone her abilities. She was ready. The usual nerves were absent as she confidently took up her position.

Brushing a stray strand of hair out of her face, Atlas took in the warmth of the day. The lull before the game began was usually tense but she felt somewhat relaxed. The bellowing warcry that hit the pitch could only have come from her boyfriend and Atlas shook her head with a grin. It was never challenging to know where Ethen was on the pitch.

Slytherin was a tough opponent and had some legitimately talented players. But it wouldn't matter. Atlas had faith in every member of her team. Together they would not be stopped. Even if it wasn't as clean of a game as their last outing, she knew the result would be the same. This time, however, she would not allow her posts to be sieged by the flying snakes. Slowly exhaling and clutching her broom, Atlas waited for the game to begin.

Fear effects such as a dhampir's aura, the ability terrible presence, a lycanothrope'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.

Keepers Catch
10% chance to automatically block an attempt to score a goal as long as the Keeper is in the goal area. If an attempt to score has been blocked through this effect, the Keeper may as a free action hurl the quaffle at the opponent team in an attempt to injure a player of their choice (it would be recovered with a quaffle grab action) and treated like a bludger or pass the quaffle to a team mate. This must be declared by the Keeper if either of these free actions are to be utilized.

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

Marble Borders by Ulysses Drake

THE GIRL HAD NOT but a singular notion regarding how it was that she weaseled her way onto the Cloud Cobras

following at least three-quarters of the year denouncing the sport, no less. Flying was nothing short of a mawkish poor man's way to travel, Remedy had often dispassionately retorted during monotonous Flying classes; yet, never did she feel freer until the Vipress found herself on the back of a Firebolt subsequent to that solemn Christmas break. Remedy frenzied for the taste of exhilaration again and again, chasing the euphoria of being untethered and weightless.

Her penchant for flight didn't truly take off until aspiring Broom Racer, @Astra Norrick, crossed paths with the Norden progeny. Her red-haired classmate piloted Remedy's potency on the Silver Arrow, coaching the Viper to newfangled speeds not yet known. Akin to Astra, Remedy would have made for a potently lethal Broom Racer; and yet, here the First Year was slinking at the rear of the coterie of her fellow Cobras. There remained no qualms or regrets for the abrupt shift from the art of the duel to the newfound thrill of ascension. This sudden opportunity boasted much promise; surrounded by skilled upperclassmen and both former and current Prefects, there remained a variety of connections to be established.

The girl donned her Quidditch uniform with pride, wearing a small, passive smile as she met the glances of Koko, Dan and Ulysses. Remedy tightly clutched her Silver Arrow with a trembling hand before settling upon the bench, exhausting a confident countenance to hide the jitters.

"Another day, another win," boasted the Prefect beside her. Remedy chuckled in half-hearted agreeance to his quip, though wouldn't have questioned otherwise even if she had a single notion of Quidditch statistics. Not only was this her first real game, but also her first exposure to the sport outside of recent practices.

"It's a shame this 'Howard' fellow's last game will end in a loss," Remedy tauntingly jested in return, "Retirement shall suit him well."

Percival swallowed thickly as he looked to the sky. It seemed so strange, his Uncle has always been so skeptical of his abilities in Quidditch. Yet here he was a starter for goodness sakes. Cold comfort that wrapped him thoroughly in a gauzy wonder. Hardly feeling as good as he has once thought it ought to be. Now he had pressure. One wrong move and his Uncle would surely bare down on him. A sore spot of the family name. A thing to be controlled and shoved into a small box. The boy huffed as he mounted his broom. Holding his bat in hand, he needed to get some anger out.
