| | |  Gobstones Match: Ravenclaw vs. Slytherin
The doors were wide open to let the Spring breeze into the building used for the Gobstones matches, and to hopefully blow away any dust that accumulated upon the surfaces of the playing field and benches. Though the wonderful Spring air should make up for the gloomy look the term's sixth and final match seemed to already have.
The blue and green marbles were set out and the playing 'field' had been marked. Benches were set out on each side of the arena creating a Viewing Area for those not playing to watch. OOC: Remember only members sorted into Ravenclaw and Slytherin Houses can post in this thread, it is not a chat thread and there is no rping. Read the Gobstones Rule book before playing and if you did last term, please check again because it's been updated.
The thread is moderated so your answer won't show up until the sponsors allow it. Any question please contact Magical Soul and/or Nordic Witch. | |

When Leobald headed down from the castle to set up for the sixth Gobstones match of the term he walked down in the early spring morning air where the grounds were finally starting to uncover the plants and grass hidden under the winter month. By the time he had unlocked and entered the building his hands were cold but not badly. Pulling out his wand he warmed himself up before he fetched the stone bags and took a tour of the court and stands in the viewing area.
Everything looked good for the match so Leo took his place in the center of the court to wait for Abraham and the players from Ravenclaw and Slytherin. When the group of student's had formed around him he spoke as much as to them as the people in the stands. "Welcome everyone to the sixth and final Gobstones match of the season."
"Good luck to both houses and remember that horse-play won't be tolerated." he said putting emphasises on the last words. Giving the teams their stones, blue to Ravenclaw and green to Slytherin he took his place on the sideline.

West Odessa marched out with the green shooter against an unnamed eagle player. They released their stones. The stone's trailed the court neck and neck all the way up to the Jack stone where the green stone pulled the longest straw and inched up closest.

West left the court and handed over the green shooter over to firstie Grace Paton and the eagles sent out Brynn Rhys-Davies. The two girl's released their stones. The blue stone zoomed off down the court with immense speed Brynn had gotten a little too excited. The blue stone didn't stop until it dropped over the court edge. The green stone could with a more moderate pace roll up next to the Jack Stone.

Miss Paton and Rhys-Davies took the shooters for Slytherin and Ravenclaw next. There was a moment of collective silence before the balls were released into the board. The green marble surpassed the blue one immediately, landing near the Jack Stone and earning the house three points.

Grace Paton remained on the court for the snakes while the eagles sent in a player fresh off the bench. The two released their stones. The stones sped off down the court. The blue stone passed the midcourt point and then swerved heavily to the right and out of play. The green stone rolled with good speed up next to the Jack stone and stopped.

Grace Paton remained on the court for the snakes while the eagles sent in yet another player fresh off the bench. The two released their stones. The stones sped off down the court. The blue stone passed the midcourt point and then swerved heavily to the left and out of play. The green stone rolled with good speed up next to the Jack stone and stopped.

Question 6

This verse of an eleventh-century Gaelic poem refers to what ancient broom game:
The players assembled, twelve fine, hearty men,
They strapped on their cauldrons, stood poised to fly,
At the sound of the horn they were swiftly airborne
But ten of their number were fated to die.

Grace walked off to leave room for Zoe Tillstorm of the snakes who went up against Benjamin Barton of the eagles. They released their stones. It was a tight race all the way up to the Jack stone where the blue pulled the longest straw while the green fell over the court edge.

Paton from Slytherin stayed for the next turn as a new Ravenclaw player stepped up against her. The marbles were shot out onto the board. They rolled side by side for a while but then the blue one stopped short by a line, releasing foul gob, while the green marble continued on and touched the Jack Stone.

Sophie Brown and Grace Paton entered the court for their respective houses after a short break. The two girls released their stones. The green stone didn't get very far before it stopped and sprayed the Slytherin bench in smelly gob. The blue stone continued to roll up next to the Jack Stone.
