Hogwarts Summer Camp 2021 Chess Combat (Match 2) Closed

Two diagonal squares away stepped up the figure of a snarky foriegn talker, seemingly attempting to encroach on their rightful placement on the chessboard. To the same side, seperated by the same amount of space, one of her teammates was looking particularly rough. The other, clambering back to his feet and surrounded by unpoppable bubbles, was not faring as well as the rest of them. Sure of her actions, she approximated the height of Thorn in the air before her and watched, unsurprised but somewhat satisfied, as a spotlight of purple spotlight lit him up with healing.

As one regained health, another stopped losing it. Finally, the arcane fire ailing her had died out, its magical spark sputtering from its continued existence as it shrunk in intensity before finally disappearing. The foul stench of scourched skin was an unfortunately familiar one, worsened by the sting of new noon air against open burns. Her dark robe was entirely intact, if not for the smoke-soaked soot streaks painted up its eaten hem, hiding her painful shame beneath innocently loose fabric, bleached knuckles and clenched jaws.

After all was over, she could make her escape, removing herself from the constantly staring eyes of all those around her to lick her wounds in private.

Now that Ret was no longer on fire, there didn't appear to be any need for Max to linger in his square any longer. Noticing a free square that allowed him a better vantage point, Maksim eagerly assumed his new position, now face-to-face with a green-haired Viper. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Felix hitting the Viper Queen with a spell, despite having been levitating in midair, which earned him a nod of approval from the Durmstrang student. Gripping his wand tightly, he focused on preparing for his next course of action.

Once more trying to get rid of the white-haired boy, Violet pointed her wand at Felix and tried casting Incendio at him, however when she finished the pronunciation she felt scared all of a sudden as the spell tried to hit the opponent, but missed. Violet stomped her foot on the ground as she glared at the white-haired guy once again.

A part of the young Slytherin felt bad for her repeated attempts at aiming for the oppositions rook. By this point, half of her team seemed hell bent on setting the boy alight and she wondered whether it was actually a good idea for her to continue too. Unsurprisingly the doubt made her spellwork sloppy and the Incendio she threw at the white-haired boy, though a perfectly adequate charm, almost flew right past him. The near-failure on her part was enough to make her reconsider herself. This was a battle after all, and everyone who signed up knew what they were getting themselves into. Besides, any injuries could be quickly tended to by one fo the members of staff. Not that there’s going to be any injuries when you keep missing, Seraphina, her father’s voice scolded.

Sarah huffed and narrowed her eyes, glancing around at her teammates and taking account of how everyone else was faring. Adonis was the one most injured though she knew her fellow Slytherin was still just repairing from his previous fall. He could no doubt bring back his luck. The rest of her team seemed to be doing well, casting spells which were hitting and dodging any thrown at them. She was proud to be a Viper and knew there was no room for doubt when they had a battle to win. She smirked, viridian eyes sharp and slightly narrowed as she waited on everyone’s next move.

Irina was trying to focus back on to casting spell yet this blond hair queen for the other team was still in her brain. He was just so annoying and then decided not to answer her comment. The fact made Irina a bit angrier, causing her to loose some focus. Casting a spell, Irina watched as her opponent twisted out of the wag just in time. Letting out an annoyed gasp, Irina took a second to get her thoughts back together. She didn’t care about the boy and he was just trying to get in her head. Shaking the thoughts out of her brain, Irina readied herself for her next move.

Allies: Henrietta, Maksim, Amaury, and Felix (The iNPC team)
Paragon of Health Allies: Maksim and Amaury

Amaury wouldn't even wait a moment for the boy to make it to his feet before he sent another spell flying towards him, one more in the flurry of knockback jinxes Amaury had been aiming at the boy, hitting with ease once again. Come on, he was looking for a bit more of a challenge than this, at the very least. A little bit of unpredictability.

Not soon after the beam of light left his wand, he heard a thud from his left. From the square just adjacent to his own, he noticed Felix crashing to the ground, sunset flames leaping from his clothes. Well, okay. Maybe the rest of the team was facing a little more unpredictability than Amaury was.

RPing as Henrietta Montagne of Ilvermorny

Somehow, in the midst of the duel and the bright flashing spells and muttered incantations, Henrietta had managed to zone out. Her eyes were fixed on something— someone, maybe— and her thoughts were wreckage in ruins of sympathy. Nonetheless, it could’ve cost her to go take shelter from the real world in the confinement of his— her— daydreams. She’d kick herself for it later, cause suffering now would only mean another round without focus, another dizzy sway to and fro as she possibly let a jinx knock into her.

So, the girl blinked hard, centering her crosshairs on the opposing team and carefully considering her following actions; impulse had done nothing for them yet except the remarkable hit their Queen seemed to have taken. Even better, it was from the very tip of Felix’s wand, scoring him a thrilled grin and playful wink from the blonde. Maksim had moved away, and with the air clearer of both fog and alluring dissociation, there was a craving in her bones for a better round.

It seemed Adonis wouldn't be getting even a single moment to try and recuperate from that last spell. As expected though and fully understandable. The Slytherin boy would've been doing the same as his opponent if the roles were reversed at the moment. Once again, Adonis was sent staggering backwards as a Flipendo slammed into his gut, forcing out the air in his lungs for a moment. It took him a minute as he gasped for air after having the wind knocked out of him before he was finally able to try and get back into his stance. He was becoming more weaker and slow though, of course, this being due to the damage he was sustaining from the spells being used. That wouldn't stop him from staying in the match though until he absolutely had no chance of getting back up or continuing to fight.
