| | |  Gobstones Club: Ravenclaw vs. Slytherin Preliminary Match
Professor Shackleton gestured for the Ravenclaw and Slytherin players to approach the Gobstones court. She handed a blue drawstring bag to a member of the Ravenclaw team and a green bag to the Slytherin team. Each contained the appropriately colored gobstones. She then opened the drawstring on a separate grey bag and levitated a single stone into the center of the court. She announced, "Welcome Eagles and Snakes to your preliminary match-up! I expect that before we begin you will have all made yourself familiar with the rules. You now have your Gobstones, so let's get started!" Quote:

The Slytherin team converges into a huddle to discuss their tactics. It is a team effort as they slide their green gobstone into the circle at a diagonal so that it sits slightly to the left of the Jack Stone.
OOC: Please note the following rule: Answers from the same house posted 4 or more minutes apart will be penalized. Since this is a first offense for Slytherin, I will issue only a warning. Should it happen again, a penalty shall be called and Ravenclaw will automatically win that question. Quote: Round 4 Score

The Eagles drop their gobstone into the circle with less finesse than usual, but it gets the job done. Rolling clumsily right past the Slytherin's attempts, the blue stone slows to a halt three-quarters of an inch from the Jack Stone. Quote: Round 4 Score

Slytherin takes their time, lining up their approach very carefully. They realize that missing this would allow the Eagles to tie up the match and they're not having it! Slytherin finishes with their gobstone closest to the Jack Stone. Slytherin wins the point and round! Quote: Round 4 Score

Ravenclaw takes a fresh approach to the fifth round, closing their eyes and just tossing their gobstone into the circle willynilly. And it seems to have worked for them quite well because their blue stone rests just an inch and half away from the Jack Stone! Quote: Round 5 Score

Slytherin responds to Ravenclaw's latest move with an rarely-used move. The green gobstone is thrown to the ground with quite a bit of force and skips once before knocking Ravenclaw's blue stone away from the Jack Stone. Both the green and blue stones are carried away with some momentum, but the green stone stops slightly closer to the Jack Stone. Quote: Round 5 Score

Ravenclaw takes aim, blows on their gobstone for good luck and rolls it into play. Slow-moving though it may be, accuracy was clearly the goal and it is a success! Ravenclaw finishes closest to the Jack Stone and wins the round! Quote: Round 5 Score

Slytherin starts the sixth round with determination and a fierce desire to win that is evident in their gameplay. They open this round with a return to classical techniques and it pays off. Their position is just against the Jack Stone! Quote: Round 6 Score

This back and forth from Ravenclaw to Slytherin and back again is making my neck hurt! Eagles swoop in and unleash their gobstone against the Slytherin's green stone and the Jack Stone, moving into a position at least equal to that of the Snakes. Next turn determines the round winner.

A runestone is a raised stone with runic inscriptions added to it.
Epitaph on the Kälvsten Runestone:
Styggr/Stigr made this monument in memory of Eyvindr, his son. He fell in the east
with Eivísl. Víkingr coloured and Grímulfr.
