Battle of the Seasons
Round 3 results
July 24th, 2024Round 3 of the Battle was knocking people down left and right. Aurélie started the round off by chucking a water balloon at Quentin, only to miss. Another member of Team Summer, Irina went to throw a balloon at Ariam. In an effort to get out of the way, Ariam went stumbling into Alejandro. Lucky for Ariam, they managed to catch the balloon and sent it flying over to Oonagh. Poor Oonagh was hit. There went Stephen making aim at AJ. Unfortunately for AJ, he managed to bump into his teammate Jamie, who was lucky enough to stay upright, and was hit by the balloon. Jamie tossed a snowball at Oonagh which hit her at the same time Ariam's throw hit her. Rose went to throw at Cyrus, only to miss.
"Aurélie, Irina, and Rose miss! Their targets stay in the game- for now. Ariam and Jamie have hit Oonagh at the same time so, Oonagh, you can leave. Alejandro and Ariam bumped into one another while Ariam tried to avoid being hit. Stephan's lucky toss has put AJ out of the game. Jaime luckily stayed upright when AJ bumped into him and will suffer no damage.

Rules:
1. All ic and ooc rules apply to this event, and all posts must be at least 200 words.
2. The deadline to post is 7 days (168 hours) after the most recent moderation post.
3. All actions must be owled to your respective team's moderator (@Sage Willows for Team Winter and @Rebecca Lark for Team Summer) by the deadline. Your action should be stated clearly, such as "throwing a water balloon from behind a sand dune". Actions may be submitted individually, in small groups, or as a whole team. Please refer to the "Game Mechanics" reducio below for available actions.
4. All stats and abilities MUST be listed in every single post. For iNPC players, a link to your iNPC's ency must also be included.
5. The game operates similar to dodgeball: if you are hit with a snowball or water balloon (i.e., you fail your accuracy vs. evasion roll) you are out of the game, and the goal of the game is to eliminate the opposing team and be the last team standing. A spectator thread will be posted, and players that have been knocked out of the game are welcome to join the spectators for the remainder of the event.
6. Working together as a team and strategizing is encouraged but in no way required. Collaborating with your team is NOT cheating.
7. At any time during your post, you may take a "free action" to duck behind a dune and in character strategize and relay information to your team. Unless you are taking the Throw Projectile action, however, you MUST step out from behind the dune by the conclusion of your post.
8. Any player who misses 2 posts will be considered out of the game. In character, your character suffers "heat/cold sickness" and is sent to the nurse.For any and all questions, please owl @Rebecca Lark or @Sage Willows.Game Mechanics:
Reducio1. Throw projectile (water balloons/snowballs): basic accuracy vs. evasion. If accuracy roll is higher than opponents evasion roll, and no counter-action was taken, the projectile hits, and the opponent is out of the game.
- Bonus action - Trench Warfare: When a player is performing the Throw Projectile action, they may opt to duck down behind a sand dune or snow dune, depending on their team, and take their action from there. Throwing a projectile from behind a dune results in a -3 to accuracy, but a plus +4 to evasion.
ReducioOn an accuracy critical failure, t!choose will be used to select one of the following outcomes: a) you manage to hit yourself, and are out of the game; b) you manage to hit one of the referees, and are out of the game (and we're probably mad at you ic); c) you accidently target a random teammate, and an accuracy vs. evasion roll against them will be performed. If another crit fail is rolled for accuracy in this check, it will be disregarded, and no new target will be assigned.
On an evasion critical failure, a random team member will be knocked into, and a contested strength roll will be performed. If the team member fails the strength roll, they will be knocked prone, and suffer a -5 to evasion in the following round. They may get up as a free action.
2. Catch: If a player believes that they will be targeted, they can opt to try and catch the projectile thrown at them, giving them a +5 to evasion. The roll will still be accuracy vs evasion. If the catching party's evasion is higher than the throwing party's accuracy, then the projectile is caught. The catching party will them throw the caught projectile at a target, rolling with disadvantage. If a priority target is not specified in the player's submitted action, a random enemy target will be selected.
3. Fastball: Player makes a DC 15 strength roll. If successful, they gain a +5 to accuracy. If unsuccessful, the player suffers a -2 to accuracy. After the outcome of the strength check, the "throwing projectile" accuracy vs. evasion roll will be performed with the appropriate modifiers. Players performing the fastball action will always suffer a -2 to evasion, unless they roll a critical success.
4. Cast spell (FOUL): Standard duelling rules apply to all spells, and only spells from the duelling playbook may be used. If you are caught casting a spell, this is considered a foul, and you are automatically ejected from the game. In addition to the standard duelling rules required by each individual spell, a DC 15 wisdom roll must be passed in order to avoid being caught. Foulplay may be used. Any spell that lasts for more than one round (such as Metelojinx) will require an additional wisdom roll each round. The wisdom DC will increase +2 each round. **Only non-damaging spells are permitted in Battle of the Seasons. If you submit a damaging spell as your action, we will ask you to change it. Otherwise, your action is null and void.**
5. Bodyblock: A player may choose to step in and sacrifice themself for another player that they suspect will be targeted. The player will make a DC 12 strength roll to see if they can successfully push the player they are defending out of the line of fire. If successful, they automatically become the target of the attack, and will roll evasion at -2 AND disadvantage.

rping as approved ilvermorny inpc cyrus darsel
the 'fit: cyrus is wearing a black hoodie, black slacks and wizard crocs. he has a pair of sunglasses perched on his forehead.
The little snowbank he had tucked himself behind loomed above him now, and it was that realisation that caused him to peek over it. Twin blue eyes gazed about the arena, widening as they took in the sheer amount of snow. He almost missed the United States, more specifically, though, his Christmases with his aunt.
The slight bout of homesickness disappeared abruptly as he understood that the great winter was due to his team's success! They were winning! Victory was never too important to the seventeen-year-old, but sometimes it was fun to have that momentum. It was the journey, the game, that mattered, though; it was fun nonetheless. Cyrus enjoyed the exercise, the exhilaration, the smiles on others' faces, the smile on his own. Winning was just an added bonus, mostly because it tended to make other people happy, which made Cyrus happy.
Oh, the joy of jubilance. It was something he did not deign to give up, ever.

The amount of people fighting it out was starting to get smaller now, with people get hit by snowballs and water balloons left and right. Luckily, no one had even bothered to aim at them this round. Again. Their secret act really bad at throwing tactic was working! It was totally a secret tactic. Without doubt. Anyone who questioned it would get a snowball to the face. Without the secret tactic, of course. They would feel the full wrath of winter! In a very nice and friendly way of course.
Not many of the team winter members seemed to be throwing a lot though. Two older boys managed to hit their targets (though sadly a familiar looking older girl caught one of them and threw them right back, which wasn't fair at all. Didn't touching the snowball mean she was out?). Cass was wide eyed and watching other people throw like a little child in... any situation really. So wide eyed and in awe of the beauty of chaos, that they completely forgot to throw anything themself. They didn't even notice their error though. This was awesome.
Why didn't Hogwarts organise fights like these more often? Probably something to do with stupid health and safety laws, or just boring regular old school rules.

- Battle Of The Seasons -
This snow was starting to make her hands numb. She shivered in place behind a snowbank, cursing whichever of the kids running it had sorted the teams. Like 90% of the match so far had just been her internal monologue of how much she hated winter, and now London in general. Who left hosting summer camp to them anyway? Castelobruxo could have showed these sad little winter children what summer really was. Not London's pathetic excuse for one either. The events would be way better as well, since they had a whole rain forest to host them in. Seriously, why did Hogwarts get to host everything?
Speaking of the fight, she sort of assumed it was going well for her team. She sure as hell wasn't sticking her head out there to check and getting hit by some water balloon. Or rouge snowball. She didn't entirely trust the throwing abilities of anyone on a team called winter. Even if that included her now. Maybe if she tried really hard she could make a break for it and just lie on the beach before they got her with a water balloon? At this point she wouldn't even mind if she got to warm up a bit beforehand.

After the battle had died down for a moment, Aurélie looked around. She was surprised to see that so many of the others were already out of the game. Just a moment ago it had felt like everyone was there, ready to begin. And then, just a second later, half the competition and players were out. And, now? There was practically no one. The French girl could probably count the number of people using just two hands.
She looked around again, searching for a braid of white blonde hair on her side of the field. And... there! Her friend EmmaLee was thankfully still in the game. Looking a bit more closely at the players remaining in the game, the French girl found out that she'd been wrong to assume that the other team had just as many players remaining as her own. It looked to her as if Team Winter had double, if not more, the amount of players that Team Summer did.

Rose spotted someone behind a trench, and threw it towards him, but he was too fast and had the snowbank as an advantage. Though she hadn't met him before and assumed he was from another school, he looked older than her, so she didn't feel too bad about missing.

Casting her gaze around, Rose could see their numbers quickly dwindling. But they were still in the game- it wasn't over yet. Two water balloons were even sent towards who Rose assumed was a pretty young player, and she was out, too. Yeah, maybe their numbers were smaller but at least they weren't teaming up on eleven-year olds. Rose shook her head, reminding herself that it didn't really matter- it was just a game.
But as the game went from forty-four players to just fifteen, the game seemed to get even more intense. The best players were now still out here (or it was just luck), and each one seemed more competitive than the last. Rose couldn't help but feel adrenaline start pumping through her veins as she stood on guard. This was just a game- she knew that in her brain, but now, as the teams got smaller by the minute, Rose was now determined to win.

Team Summer
@EmmaLee LeDamesOkay, it had become apparent to those still alive and kicking on Team Summer that their numbers had dwindled quite a bit more than those of Team Winter. Now that the group was small enough, there was more coordinating and strategizing taking place. Fun as getting into the moment and doing his own thing had been, as it had been for quite a few of them, it was now time to move towards “group think” and try to work together. That turned out to be quite a bit easier than he would have normally anticipated considering not all of them were well known to one another.
They sort of huddled, sort of circled, together and started throwing out ideas and strategies. Stephen had no problem visualizing ideas and concepts in his head, but his hand naturally started to draw things out on the sand. Not so much, at first, to necessarily use it as a strategizing tool, but mostly because he loved the feel of the warm sand after this chilly summer, and as people were tossing out their ideas, he just naturally drew them. As ideas would change, he’d erase the plan, and then make appropriate edits. He, and most everyone else, had their ideas, and they were good! Tweaks to details were made here and there, but most everyone contributed and they had a plan at the end of it that they all agreed to executing.
He smiled over at EmmaLee, feeling confident that this was going to be a great round for both of them. “We totally have this! Now let’s show them that we do!” He snuck a peek around the sand dune, waiting for the moment his target would give hint to where he was. Stephen never saw him, but he did see the person who had been standing next to him, and that was enough to give him an idea as to where to toss his water balloon. He shot up from behind the dune quickly and aimed with a little more precision than he had previously done when targeting Miles, and this time it paid off. He didn’t have the pleasure of seeing his water bomb douse the guy, but he heard the moderator call the player off the field, and he knew success had been his. That was enough.
His smile grew ever wider at EmmaLee’s exceptionally agile success. “See, what did I tell you? We totally have this. Team Summer is on the first stage of their comeback tour.”

Rett was discovering that he was incredibly good at decking first years in the face with snowballs. Not something that he was particularly proud of, but it was the name of the game so he wasn’t to blame. At least that’s what’s he told himself. He was finding this more fun than initially anticipated. He would never admit it out loud, but he was mildly grateful for the small child forcing him back in the game. He actually glanced over at the harsh ref, throwing kids out left and right as they were hit. Damn- an early girl-boss.

He turned his attention back to the field, there were more kids still left on team winter than there were on team summer, they could win this thing. Maybe- but he had also put a huge target on his back by taking out kids left and right. He just had to stay in, and focus. He started to create a sort of stockpile of snowballs in this moment, compacting them into perfect icy projectiles. Though he tried to keep the, loose enough so they wouldn’t hurt. He might’ve been picking on the little guys, but that’s strategy. Nothing particularly personal, though he wouldn’t be surprised if made a few enemies out of this. Whatever, all was fair in love and snowballs or whatever.Action || Wouldn't You Like to Know Owled

As the summer numbers dwindled, EmmaLee knew that it was time to pull their little team, minus one sadly, into the bigger team and it seemed that most everyone else had the same mindset.
The strategy really was EmmaLee's favorite part of any game or competition. It was one reason why she loved dueling so much.
As team summer strategized, EmmaLee couldn't help but see Stephen out of the corner of her eye, mapping out their discussion in the sand. She couldn't help but smile at how cute she found the action, but tried to keep her head in the game discussion and help contribute to the strategy.
Once they had agreed on a plan, everyone jumped into action with a surprising amount of finesse and determination. EmmaLee whooped as each person on team winter was doused with water and was landing from a jump when she saw a snowball sailing her way.
Surprisingly, she caught the rather solid lump of snow and almost without thinking hurled it towards her original target. As it smacked into the other girl's chest, EmmaLee let out another whoop and turned at the sound of Stephen's voice.
"Well, we do have the advantage of looking on the sunny side, no?" She said with a wide smile.

Battle of the Seasons
BATTLE OF THE SEASONS | Team Summer
- July 24, 2024 -TAKING his cues from some of the more successful — which was to say, still remaining — players on both sides of the court, Septimus prepared to catch an incoming snowball and toss it back at someone from Team Winter. In his opinion, the trickiest part about that strategy would be making sure the snowball didn't explode the minute he tried to grab it out of the air. He doubted that the referees would count it as a successful catch in that case. Plus, more importantly, there would be nothing to redirect — which would defeat the purpose of the entire thing. It was a risky move, and risky wasn't usually Septimus's style, but the future first-year knew it would be worth it if he could make it work.
In order to catch something, however, you have to have something thrown at you. And, despite bracing himself for that very moment, Septimus was simply not targeted. He blinked in surprise as a few people from the other team seemed to focus on him before changing their minds or just didn't pay him any attention at all. It was probably true that he wasn't as important of a target as some of his teammates, but he was still expecting to have to dodge at least once. Huh.
Mixed feelings gave way to action as the boy realized that he was wasting a chance to take another shot. Scrambling back towards the closest bucket as fast as he could, Septimus scooped up a water balloon and felt it wobble in his grasp. He didn't opt for a strategy this time around, but instead threw it at the first person he could see. Maybe that was the secret: embrace the chaos. Someone was going to have to win sooner or later, and he might as well try and make it Team Summer before he was taken out of the game.ACTION: sent via owl
