Hello, this is Ampat the Purple, Diviner First Class and your Announcer for the Wizarding Trials, as sponsered by Thay Co. Thay Co. For when you absolutely need something destroyed, call Thay Co.
It's the day of the First Trial and, while teams One and Four are nowhere to be seen, the Archmage assures us that they are ready and at the starting position!
Team Three appears to have brought along a flock of flaming birds, which they claim to all be phoenixes. While I am not entirely sure if that is what a phoenix is supposed to look like, I am forced to admit that, technically speaking, they are flaming quasi-immortal birds.
Team Five meanwhile has brought several bags of raw meat and what appears to be a waterskin. I don't think this is for snacks, ladies and gentleman! Their hydra goes for it, followed by Gigonola the Yellow teleporting a glass jar above one of the beast's heads! It falls! Oooh, it looks angry!
Team Two appears to have brought along a pair of flaming swords, three braziers of fire, a barrel of oil and a goat! In what appears to be a sacrifice to Ignus, God of Flame, Volcanos and Livestock, Immolatia has slit the goat's throat. Now... Why are they pouring lamp oil down its throat? And they're lighting it on fire? Could it be? Yes! They feed the goat to their hydra! It goes for it! Sweet merciful ignus that was an explosion! Hydra parts everywhere! They go for the key!
Intercepted! Teams One and Four are revealed by the splattered blood and flesh of Team Three's hydra! While Team One appears to be casting some sort of dismemberment spell on the hydra, the beast isn't yet down for the count! Meanwhile, Team Four has gone through with what appears to be an invisible apportation play! Brilliant! But not brilliant enough! Here comes the phenonixes! Ohh, that has got to burn!
Team one turns their spells on Tarok! Oh, the horror! I didn't know that legs could do that! It is a very good thing that we have healers standing by, or these kids would be missing more limbs than I care to imagine.
Kingsley goes for a counter! What's he doing? What? Where did all these snakes come from? Ah, get them out of the box! There's snakes all over the field! Oh, sweet saints, they're biting everything!
Slay is sneaking towards the chest! Team five must have gotten their key out in the confusion! No! Quick thinking from Gigonola has gotten the key summoned away from the phoenixes! And Drull summons it back! And now the rest of the lamp oil has gone up! Oh, the humanity!
The snakes appear to have been cleared from the field. The phoenixes have suffered some losses and it looks like they're not immune to poison after all. And it appears that Drull is now on fire. He's dropped the key and now there's a bit of a scuffle... Carden has gotten the key! He goes to the chest... Victory! Team Two has claimed the first prize! A bag of 5000 shiny golden Coins!
