 Main Activity! :3 That's Rough Buddy | Be the Flower | Moon & Stars
The sound of discussions was like music to her ears. As she levitated things from under the sheet on her desk, Astrid caught bits here and there. Her head would occasionally nod when she agreed with something mentioned, or she would tilt her head and consider. She was even glad to see the one's who decided to work on their own jot down their thoughts.
Levitating the last few items from her desk and setting them on a planned spot in the room, Astrid clapped her hands to regain the student's attention once more.
"I heard a lot of interesting points, great job everyone." She smiled them and continued. "For our main activity we are going to defend a fort today. Everyone please stand." She almost sing-sang. With a swish of her wand, the small objects she had placed on each corner of the room grew, grew and grew, until four castles big enough to house several students stood tall and proud; a red, a blue, a green and a yellow (thanks to magic the classroom WAS wider than normal). By the windows, away from the students, dummies of each house color stood at attention.
"We are going to put to play our casting and intent abilities. How well can we cast the Disarming and Shield Charm." Another wave of her wand and the mats disappeared. "Seeing as we have studied these charms, all years will be able to use both to help protect and defend their fort. Sixth and seventh years can choose to cast nonverbally." They've been doing so well with casting nonverbally she decided during this challenge they could have a choice.
"The goal is to keep the dummies from invading your respective castle. As you can see," Astrid walked over to the dummies and raised one of their hands. "They have 'wands.' They are not real wands, but they have been formatted to shoot sparks from them. The sparks are only enough to shove you. Not harm, but it can be rather annoying." Try charming several dozen and having them 'cast' on you. She still had bruises in areas she couldn't reach to apply bruise paste on. "The way to 'defeat' a dummy is by either disarming it or toppling it over."
Were they ready?
"To your castles please." This was going to be fun. The students would have an opportunity to apply what they discussed moments ago right now with these dummies.
After the students gathered in their respective spots, Astrid commanded the army of dummies to the center of the room. "May your intent be strong and your aiming on point." A flick of her wrist. "Go!"
The dummies grew alive. Blue and red dummies marched toward their castles, as so did the green and yellow, arms raised. It didn't take long before the first shots were fired.

OOC: Main activity time! (:
Goal: Everyone works with their house in order to protect their fort by applying the two charms they discussed.
- all students are allowed to use the Disarming and Shield Charm. Keep in mind that they have been reviewing these spells; their level of skill is up to you. ^__^ The sparks the dummies shoot are not enough to hurt, maybe just enough make your character stumble.
- the castles are big enough to house students, they are welcomed to inhabit them. Just remember not everyone fits. XD
- four posts maximum to complete the task. Two using the Disarming Charm and two using the Shield Charm.
- The activity will end on Thursday, October 22 @ 12 PM GMT -6. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to VM, PM or DM me. Have FUN! <3
