rivalries are put aside, and camaraderie takes their place. and for the golden deer, pulling neck and neck with the eagles and lions despite having the fewest contestants in the ring is all the reason to celebrate! or so rosado and hortensia thought. at the post-tournament grand banquet, the elusian pair have set up a golden deer corner, complete with yellow and cervid decor and drapery, and both hosts arrayed in house colors and face paint. "three cheers for knoll! three cheers for hilda! three cheers for eliwood!" "fear the deer!" a celebration lifting up the class heroes who'd carried them from underdog into the spotlight, and for all the deer who cleared the way valiantly to let them get there: —hip-hip hooray!

FOOD & DRINK:

—  CUPCAKE DECORATING  ╱  from yellow-sugar icing to pretzel antlers to cookie toppings shaped like deer, there's no shortage of supplies to make your cupcakes look any which way you want.

—  CARAMEL MERINGUES  ╱  a triple layer of chocolate and caramel in glass containers, tied off with a bit of string attached to a spoon. perfect to grab and take with you, or feed to a loved one.

—  DOE POPS  ╱  cake pops shaped like deer heads! and something sticking out of each one. a paper fortune? what does yours say?

—  GOLDEN SPICE CIDER  ╱  a warm and buzzy autumnal drink, perfect for the season and sure to banish any chills. both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties available.

—  CROUCHING CHOCOLATE, HIDDEN STAG  ╱  a culinary minigame? a table is arranged with a terrarium-like miniature woodland display, complete with moss, trees, golden deer flags, and a herd of deer themselves. one item in this display is made of chocolate. how many things are you willing to bite to find which one it is?

ARTS & CRAFTS:

—  THIRTY-POINT CROWN  ╱  craft your own glorious headpiece with paint, twigs, and twine to show off your deer pride! who can boast the most impressive rack? ( of antlers, duh. what were you thinking? )

—  WOOD CARVING  ╱  for the dexterous and crafts-minded, a setup with display and instructions to carve your own wooden deer to take home. organizers are not responsible for injuries.

—  DEERLY BELOVED  ╱  a stack of deer-shaped paper and pens greet you. "write a compliment and stick it onto its recipient!" the instructions say. if you're fast, maybe they won't even know it's you.

—  READY-TO-PAINT CERAMICS  ╱  a station of unfired bowls and plates and small vases invites you to decorate them however you want! several stencils are provided for the uninitiated, or you can go where your hart takes you.

GAMES:

—  FÓDLAN CHESS  ╱  a traditional strategy board game using a triangle-shaped board that can be played by two to three people. the objective is to be the first to move all your pieces to one of the other corners by jumping over your opponents' pieces. are you up for the competition?

—  LIMBO  ╱  everyone knows that being a deer isn't just about strength or smarts, but flexibility. challenge mode: wear an antler crown while playing, and don't let it fall off your head!

—  ANTLER TOSS  ╱  you have five tries to land as many rings on the tines as you can for a prize. if a friend is willing, they can wear the antlers on their head for you to aim at instead!

—  DEER PONG  ╱  the classic party game, with alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions. some say that the non-alcoholic one misses the point of the challenge, but at least it lets everyone play, right?

—  HEADLOCK  ╱  in a classic show of strength, stamina, and bravado, it's time to wrestle like the stags do! put on a headdress of real oaken antlers ( not light, that ) and lock heads with your opponent to throw them to the ground! no use of other body parts or implements allowed.

#THATS THE BOY OF ALL TIME!!!

[amitieos]

"Hopefully it was all in good fun?" There's a touch of concern but the idea of all three of them in carefree childhood days is a beautiful thought. There's a stitch developing in her side but she pushes through, running after the pair with a sense of gleeful abandon Elincia though she had long since left behind. "Your spellcraft is improving leaps and bounds, Caspar! Keep it up!"

Embarrassingly, her own spell misses yet again. The afternoon is definitely taking it's toll on her, mind and body weary. It's been a very long day, even if she can't remember the last time she had so much fun training.

"I'm going to sleep so well tonight after all this exercise, haha."

Elincia 2/5 HP attacks Céline 1/5 HP with Nosferatu Roll d20-2: 5-2, 3! Miss

"Oh dear. Your turn, Caspar. Give it your best shot!"

@berglietz

She does find this battle enriching, if she is to put a word on it— Céline will have much to tell her brother once she is no longer being hunted around and the battle concludes.

Until then, she will have to keep retaliating and dodging their attacks as much as she can. She is barely able to avoid Elincia's spell in time, quickly turning around to offer magic of her own.

Her eyes glint over the sword itself— While she has been preferring to use its magical prowess above all else, she understands what it truly means to be a wielder of the sword. "I cannot remember the last time I was chased around like this, myself. Do keep going, and I will extend the same!"

"Oh, this takes me back to bright, halcyon days," Elincia muses, running after Caspar and Céline. Once upon a time it was Geoffrey and Lucia she chased, though both always made sure to slow down enough for her to catch them at just the right moment to ensure the young princess felt gleefully triumphant. Looking back, both could have outrun her easily. Her heart swells with warmth that they cared enough to wait for her, to spend time with her despite her youth. "I hope you're both having as much fun as I am!"

Readying her spell with a light heart, Elincia throws it in Céline's direction as they race around the field. It soars a little slower than anticipated, missing the princess by a few seconds and floating by into the welcoming embrace of the afternoon sun.

@firelles

The magical spells fly at her once again and their quick succession is beginning to make her feel worn down. Even so, she is not going to stand around and wait for them to act. As long as the princess of Firene is here, it is her desire and duty to remain upright and prideful. Mock battle or no, her will remains the same.

"You've retaliated quite well! I am impressed." She musters her words with a shaky breath, turning her back towards them with a clear decision in mind.

Céline 2/5HP heals +0.5HP with Fairy Dust; Céline 2.5/5HP Céline 2.5/5HP moves the Blue Lions to the Left

"I must keep moving, however. Should you follow, know I will not make it simple..!" A wave of the hand follows suit. Even if it's only for a brief second or two, she needs the time to recuperate. The sword lingers at her side with a soft 'clank' against her skirt while she runs the opposite direction and returns to where she was minutes ago.

"I know, but I'd prefer to keep you in tip-top condition and feeling your best." Elincia says, laughing brightly at his enthusiasm. "I understand if I seem a little over cautious but I'd hate to see you hurt."

Céline conjures another whirlwind, much to her alarm. Thankfully it soars straight past Caspar and hits her instead. Buffeted mercilessly by the gales, Elincia stumbles back a step as her arms come up to protect her face.

"Ow! You got me good there, well done!" She compliments, allowing her limbss to fall back to her sides. Better her than Caspar. She has the perfect reply in mind to even the score again.

"Here, let's just stop for a moment. You're doing so well but we are a team," Elincia says softly, her hand already landing upon Caspar's shoulder. It lights up as she recites a quick prayer under her breath, hopeful it will heal his wounds and take the pain away. "Don't worry, we all make mistakes from time to time. What matters is being able to pick yourself back up and keep going."

Elincia 4/5HP casts Heal on Caspar 2/5 HP Roll d20: 18! +2 HP restored Caspar has 4/5 HP remaining

"I hope you're actually feeling fine now, Caspar. It's important to be honest with your allies," she steps back to give him a once over. No cuts, scratches or deep bruises to concern themselves with. A sense of relief washes over her, cool and fresh, a balm upon her worries. "Remember, I have your back, too. Now, let's show off the tenacity of the Black Eagles!"

"I hope to provide and adequate challenge, my lady. Though you prove as fearsome with that sword as you are nimble." Elincia readies another attack, light magic responding to her call once more. The one thing she can rely on is that Céline will make landing a hit as difficult as possible for her. A constant tug of war, neither side willing to back down until the battle was firmly declared over.

"Ah, case in point!" She tries to sound cheerful, it wouldn't do to discourage anyone from such a healthy, fun competition. Though she hopes to be of more support to her student than she has proven to be thus far. "Caspar, are you hurt? Please don't push yourself too hard."

"You've got it, Caspar!" Elincia replies, running behind the energetic brawler. Her legs are going to ache tomorrow but right now, she's having too much fun to care. Hoisting her javelin onto her shoulder, Elincia takes care to search for an opening. "Here goes nothing!"

Between the two of them, their magic is a fearsome sight. One with a life-sucking spell, draining energy out of her. The second, a dark mystical ambience in tandem with those strong gauntlets. There lay the question of what she must do— How she will do it.

Céline aims her wind sword towards her nearest opponent in a fast and hurried motion, using it as a distraction to flee to the other side of the space. By forcing a change between the three, she hopes it can grant her even the tiniest bit of an upper hand.

"Thank you, both of you," Elincia can't help but smile sheepishly. Caspar might not have dropped the subject but he's sweet enough to show such care for her and Céline's tact is something she's very grateful for. "Please don't worry yourself, Caspar. I'm just fine, I promise."

She is a little tired, of course. It has been a long, arduous day of fighting and she lacks the young man's youthful vigour. It isn't over yet though and her stamina is more than plentiful enough to keep her going a few more rounds. She has faced far worse, under far higher stakes. Though if her spell could make it's mark, it would probably help her keep up with the two skilful and talented students.

"Perhaps third time is the charm?"

Elincia 3/5 HP attacks Céline 4.5/5 HP with Nosferatu Roll d20-2: 15-2, 13! Hit. -1 damage. Elincia restores 1 HP! Elincia has 4/5 HP remaining, Céline has 3.5/5 HP remaining

The surprise is written all over her face. Her magic responds to her this time, swift and glorious in it's radiance. Vim and vigour return to her, glittering brightly in her eyes. She's still in this!

@berglietz

With her comrade no longer suited to be in this battle, it is up to her to make the sole decisions as she leaves him with an affirmative nod. Her grip on the sword tightens, opting to stay where she currently stands.

Céline is not the type of person to willingly show how worn down she may be feeling— She feels she can never afford to. It is better to remain still and avoid attacks from both of them at once as long as she can.

Céline 4/5HP heals +0.5HP with Fairy Dust ; Céline 4.5/5HP Céline 4.5/5HP barely hits Elincia 3.5/5HP with Wind Sword [Roll: 3; -0.5HP; Elincia 3/5HP]

While the sword points diagonally much like when she aimed towards Caspar, the wind is not as strong had her attention not been impacted. It leaves Firene's princess, striking at an awkward angle. The sword becomes immediately retracted back towards her chest as a protective barrier, shaking her head in turn: "Worry not. I heard nor saw nothing," she says with a kindness to her tone.

@berglietz

[amitieos]

“I do hope he’s okay…” Elincia trails off, Céline’s last strike smarting still. Yet there was no time to waste frowning. She puts on a brave face, even daring to tell a joke as swirls of light magic dance upon her fingertips. “That hit left me feeling a little anaemic. I ought to cast Nosferatu to fix that.”

Silence. Not a soul laughs, or even dares to speak. The birds fall quiet, staring at her in abject horror. Even she can’t muster a chuckle at her own joke.

The spell fizzles from her grasp, insulted and mortified in equal measure.

Elincia 3.5/5HP attacks Céline with Nosferatu

Roll d20-2: 1-2 -1. Miss! (Yikes bestie, don’t give up your day job.)

“I deserved that. Please… let’s all just pretend that never happened and move on.”

Elincia’s face burns crimson. She dares not look either Caspar or Céline in the face. Comedy clearly was not her calling.

@firelles

She is beginning to wonder what she should do— Where her sights should aim. When Lloyd apologizes to her, the princess shakes her head and musters a small smile: "Your efforts to aid me have not gone unnoticed. I am grateful. For that, I will continue doing what I can." If she holds one regret, it is that she will not be fast or close enough to heal him.

Between Caspar's strong skillset and Elincia's own remarkable prowess, Céline must choose her moves carefully. "You are too kind. Were I even a step later, I most certainly would have been in your line of path."

Céline 3.5/5HP heals +0.5HP from Fairy Dust; Céline 4/5HP Céline 4/5HP hits Elincia 5/5HP with Wind Sword [Roll: 9; -1.5HP; Elincia 3.5/5HP]

The tucked away dust glows in her pocket; its warmth reaches her eyes and ears as she takes a deep breath. Caspar is much too far for her to aim towards— Thus, she decides to continue her parry with Elincia. She's become accustomed to this specific sword by now, wind and all.

“Thanks Caspar!” Elincia is a moment too slow to dance out of the wind’s way, but the storm never hits. Instead it seeks out Caspar. She’s about to stop to check in on him, ask if needs her healing support. Though he jets off, a galeforce of glee as he unleashes a flurry of blows upon Lloyd.

“Ha! I should have known that wouldn’t slow you down,” Elincia says, face breaking into a huge grin. There’s little in this world she thinks could hold him down for long. “Please take care, Sir Lloyd! It would be nice to catch up with you after the battle!”

Elincia calls after him whilst preparing her Nosferatu spell, hands alight with it’s warm glow. Can feel it dance on her fingertips as she sends it spinning towards Céline. The young woman is fleet of foot and graceful, for a moment though Elincia thinks she’s done it.

Elincia 5/5 HP attacks Céline 3.5/5 HP with Nosferatu

Yet at the last moment, Céline steps aside, utterly unharmed. Elincia applauds, it’s a sterling display of skill and speed.

“Brava, Céline! Not that I would expect any less, of course.”

@fangedjustice

As Celine engages with one of their enemies -- anima and dark magic littering the field around them with their natural and unnatural marks alike -- Lloyd is struck with a dull, panging realization that there will not be a more favorable option here. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to match his comrade's pace very well, meanwhile their opponents are functioning as a cohesive unit.

With his wound, even if it wasn't taking a severe toll on his ability to carry through attacks, he might not even get the chance as he was forced to try and get into a better position first...

There likely wouldn't be any victory for him here, but that didn't mean he was going to leave his partner in a poor position by doing nothing in order to prolong his own inevitable.

Lloyd rotates the Blue Lions to the Right

"I'm sorry I cannot do more to further you in this battle, Celine. Perhaps I let my pride and confidence outstrip me this time," he muses, frustration lingering at the edges of his words but determination to do what little he can to help her remaining in the forefront. And it wasn't much, but at least in these next few moments, their opponents would have to keep their attacks split between them.

[amitieos]

let's get ready to rumble! || battle of the eagle and lion round 3, battle 23

Elincia heads to the field of battle once more, a spring in her step. The number of competitors had thinned out considerably and she considered herself blessed to have made it this far. For the third time that day she fought alongside Caspar, his cheer infectious and enthusiasm boundless.

"I couldn't ask for a better partner. Shall we try and make it three for three?" Elincia asks him as they approach their opponents. It will be a hard fought battle, of that much she is sure before they begin. Yet the pair had made a fantastic team so far. "No matter what happens, I'm proud to have fought by your side today."

She stands across from Princess Céline of Firene and a knight named Lloyd who appeared somewhat familiar. Humming, she tries to put her finger on how so whilst she assesses the battlefield before her, searching for an advantageous opening move. Elincia makes her decision, grabbing the bow strapped to her back when it hits her. "Lloyd Reed? As in Linus' brother? He's a lovely fellow, isn't he? It's a pleasure to finally meet you!" Perhaps some may titter and say this was hardly the place for pleasantries but Elincia did not care. They were not enemies in war but rivals in a friendly competition, hardly a reason not to be polite and amicable to their opponents. Her smile is broad as she turns to Céline, inclining her head to the young royal. "You must be Lady Céline, it's lovely to make your acquaintance too."

"Shall I get us started then? May we all have a fair fight, in the spirit of good fun!" She draws her arrow back, allowing it to fly towards Lloyd. The knight, armed with only a sword, will have to make a choice of his own - to forfeit his turn or move into Caspar's line of attack. Either way, this should secure them an advantage, albeit briefly. If her arrow lands, that is.

Elincia 5/5 HP attacks Lloyd 5/5 HP with Steel Bow Roll d20: 15! Hit -2 damage Lloyd has 3/5 HP remaining

A sigh of relief escapes her lips when the point of her arrow finds it's target. She'd been far too inconsistent for her own liking today, relying far too much on Caspar. After all - they were supposed to be a team and she was determined to pull her weight.

[amitieos]

Elincia can't help but chuckle at Caspar's overflowing enthusiasm. Hopefully there will be no broken ribs to mend after this battle but as she stands across from Eremiya and studies the woman's face, she loosens the tight grip on her javelin. This isn't about her. As a teacher and mentor, it's her duty to encourage her students to flourish, to let them shine as bright as possible. Her duty and privilege.

"Well then, would you like to do the honours, Caspar?" She asks him, though she's already begun to move to the right. His excitement is palpable as they shift positions, aligning him face to face with the bishop, Eremiya. "You've definitely earned it. Show Lady Eremiya the best the Black Eagles house have to offer."

"Do try not to splinter her ribs though, please."

@berglietz give her the ol' one two! (casparsweep!!!!)

[amitieos]

Lady Eremiya's words to her own teammate remain as biting as ever, but the terse frown on Elincia's face dissipates. Perhaps it is merely her imagination, an attempt of her own mind to explain such callousness, but she thinks she hears a hint of concern.

"Is now not the perfect time to learn something new? I think it's commendable of you to expand your horizons, Alear." The Officer's Academy was a military school, after all. Practical experience was a necessity. Mistakes were a part of life, best to make them now in a safe, encouraging environment. She shoots him a small, polite smile before turning her attention to her own student. "Ready for a tactics lesson, Caspar?"

"Proper positioning is vital. Here, follow me," Elincia says, leading him to the right and placing him in front of Alear. A favourable match up for the young brawler. "Choose your foe carefully and make sure your enemies have nowhere to run. Don't allow them to sneak up on you!"

"Whilst I consider us rivals more than enemies, my lady, you'll make a lovely demonstration. Your choices are limited - face Caspar, face me head on, or try to run and face my arrows."

[amitieos]

Edelgard retreats, still the very pinnacle of dignity and grace and Elincia's resolve steels further. They will make her proud and teach the bishop a lesson. Between the pair of them, they will show the lions the Eagle's deadly talons and earn their reputation as birds of prey.

Her hands tighten around the javelin she borrowed from Emma. Elincia surges forward but the face before her is unexpected. Instead, Caspar floors the handsome gentleman next to her - probably a little harder than strictly necessary as the priest's spell collides with him. She turns her head in his direction, checking for signs of injury. Nothing serious, thank goodness, but by the time her attention returns to her opponent, the lance, her posture and grip are all wrong. The javelin's point thrusts a good thirty degrees off target and the woman's jaw clenches in frustration.

"Forgive me, Caspar. Now is not the time to get distracted," Elincia then turns to the young man she'd attempted to strike, head bowed in respect. "I'm sorry to you too, it's exceptionally poor form on my part not to give a worthy opponent like yourself my full attention. It shan't happen again."

Their battle continues, now two against two and the scent steel and ozone sizzling in the air from Lady Eremiya's magic. Her mind wanders briefly to both Edelgard in all her majestic glory and the roguish, good-humoured gentleman Caspar had sent to the medical tents. She looks forward to seeing them again soon, hopefully bold and triumphant.

"Oh dear, pray forgive my lacking manners," he catches her off guard for just a moment but the surprise on her face soon melts into a smile. Oh, he's fun - his charming wit and good humour were certainly endearing. Even if it's an obvious attempt to goad her into attacking him. "Perhaps I could buy you dinner after as a compromise? I'll thrown in a drink for goodwill."

She'd usually be happy to indulge him in their little duel. After all, this was a friendly competition. However, there's something unsettling about their so-called holy woman; words sharp as blades and cold as ice, gaze trained upon Edelgard as if she were a prey animal. Elincia turns her attention away from the dashing gentleman and instead knocks an arrow and aims in Eremiya's direction.

"Unfortunately, I can't ignore such a threat to my dear students." Her hand pulls the drawstring back as tight as she can before loosing the arrow. The slightest hint of a smirk plays upon the corners of her lips. "Nothing personal, of course, my dear lady."

Elincia 5/5HP attacks Eremiya 6/6HP with Steel Bow Roll d20: 10! Hit -2 damage Eremiya has 4/6 HP remaining

Her aim flies true, striking her target and hopefully drawing the woman's attention away from Edelgard, if only for a moment. Elincia waves at cheerfully with her free hand towards the priestly woman.

"Careful now - don't underestimate us. There is no weak link in this chain."
