Round 2

Modified post: I did a mistake while calculating the damage of Incendio and Incendio Duo; the effect damage (-40 HP and -60 HP) is applied in the round after, not the same round. I'm sorry for the mistake!

Things were not looking good for the Gryffindor team.

Even though they had managed to successfully blindfold the young Thomas, giving the other team a big disadvantage, luck decided to completely turn her back on @Meenauh Silmataurea and @Galton Lansdale. The Gryffindor girl successfully casted her Incendio duo, but Thomas managed to avoid the spell anyway, much to Lydia's surprise; Galton cast his spell as well, but something clearly went wrong because the flames, instead of going towards @Thomas Baines, went towards the Gryffindor boy, that caught fire almost immediately.

As if things weren't bad enough, @Callie Jensen casted her Incendio successfully, her flames hitting Meenauh at the very last second; it had looked as if she had managed to dodge the attack, but as soon as the flames touched her, they spread to her clothes.

While all of this was happening, Thomas had been trying to take the blindfold off from his eyes, and after an initial struggle he managed to do that, his vision now back to normal.

"The Ravenclaw team has been landing a series of very well placed spells so far! They are definitely not intimidated by the two older Gryffindor duellists!" Lydia commented as her eyes kept being focused on the duel.

Thomas struggled against his blindfold, his shrimpy little arms giving the fight their best. He was frustrated, grumbling under his breath, and as he heard the word Incendio not once, not twice, but at least three times, anxiety had managed to creep into his system. Was he about to be set ablaze, unable to see who was responsible?! The thought irked Thomas, but thankfully luck appeared to be on his side. With his blindness came a lack of even footing, and it seemed that he chose a good opportunity to stumble a bit, dodging Meenauh's spell purely by accident.

When the young wizard finally managed to pry the blindfold from his face, he was met with not one, but two flaming Gryffindor duelists. Bewildered, Thomas looked over at Callie with an expression that was difficult to place; it was somewhere between horror and excitement. "Callie... How the heck did you do that?!" Eventually, his features found rest in happiness, beaming at his fellow student. Feeling positively triumphant, he was quick to clarify smugly, "All according to plan, of course." It wasn't, it was going far better than Thomas could have ever anticipated, but no one had to know that.

Throwing the blindfold aside in rather dramatic fashion, Thomas readied his wand. He was starting to quite like their odds.

Action: Doing as strategized.
Abilities: Evasive Maneuvers, Statistically Relevant (+2 Wisdom)
Stats: Sta 4 || Eva 7 || Str 1 || Wis 9(+2=11) || Arc P 9 || Acc 10

Everything seemed to be moving so quickly and with each passing second even more chaos was unleashed. After all Callie hadn't at all expected everything to end up with two Gryffindor's ablaze in front of her whilst her teammate fumbled with a blindfold. "How did I do that? I have no idea!" Callie greeted Thomas with a bright smile, clearly shocked at how well things were going so far. "Oh wait yeah, all according to plan! Totally!" She let out a brief laugh before once again refocusing herself on the matter at hand. Afterall there was still work to be done and very little room for slacking off.

Action: Doing as strategised.

Stats: Stamina: 6 | Evasion: 7 | Strength: 3 | Wisdom: 10 | Arcane Power: 7 | Accuracy: 7

Being lit aflame was a new experience for Galton. Lighting himself aflame was also a first. Today was full of firsts. The prediction of a wild ride was coming true, of course in a way that the young boy would never had seen coming.

Magic is tricky, and sometimes using your wand for that magic was trickier. It had its own sense of fun, and Galton’s wand found powerful chaos to be the most fun. The two really paired up well.

He turned to his partner @Meenauh Silmataurea, a bit frightened by the fact they were both sprouting colorful flames. "Ha-ho-hot hot hot! AH! Cast! Was all he could get out. Calming words would be nice, but Galton was not that calm of a person.

Effects:
Damage: 100+(APx10)= 100 + 70= 170 DMG

After the previous round, it looked as if things were getting slightly better for the Gryffindor team.

@Meenauh Silmataurea successfully healed herself, even if not by much since she was still aflame at the beginning of the round; however, the flames disappeared, leaving the fourth year with still some stamina left.

@Galton Lansdale was also aflame at the beginning, but still managed to cast his Incendio Duo towards @Thomas Baines; unfortunately for the Gryffindor boy, the young Ravenclaw was extremely fast and managed to evade his spell, only to shoot his own charm at the older boy. The moment the spell hit him, Galton started to dance in circles to the rhythm of an unknown waltz, as the flames around his body disappeared.

@Callie Jensen, that up until that point had been an incredible spell caster, failed at casting her Flipendo towards Meenauh; maybe she was distracted, or maybe too focused, because the spell actually hit her, sending her a couple of meters back and dealing 170 DMG.

The duel was getting more and more intense, and Lydia kept looking between the players, awaiting for their next moves.

What will happen next?

Well, that certainly didn't go according to plan. Not that there was much of their hastily assembled strategy left but Callie certainly didn't bank on managing to take herself down in the process. Instead of becoming mixed up in her own failure she opted to laugh off the entire ordeal and pull herself back up onto her feet. "My bad!" She exclaimed with a bright laugh before dusting off her clothing. After properly orienting herself Callie refocused on the match at hand, preparing for the next onslaught.

Thomas beamed upon realizing that his spell hit, only to jump in surprise as Callie was launched a meter or two back as her own spell turned on her. This was the first time a spell had failed on their end, much less backfired to such a severe degree. He looked over at her, and attempted to offer the girl a comforting smile. The gesture was a little awkward, but he hoped that his comforting words would do something worthwhile. "We're almost there, don't get too nervous!"
