You're to persevere until you get to the end when you'll be confronted with the cursed bracelet, in which you'll have to successfully cast Arithmos Revelio and then break the curse on the object. If you break the curse, then you will be able to touch the bracelet without it burning you and you may leave after. Good luck."
With that, she flicked her wand and the Arithmancy classroom was changed into a maze, with tall shrubberies separating each student...[/COLOR]
ooc: No i don't expect you to perfectly break the curse at the end of the maze. I do expect you have to fun interacting with each other, as you try to make it through. Feel free to interpret "interceptions" and "delays" as you wish; be imaginative. If it's something other than a jinx or creature you want as an obstacle, go for it. Be creative. I'd recommend a minimum of 6 or 7 posts. You can earn up to 30 points for your RP-ing efforts (not counting the points from before this post). But don't delay, as this final WILL be ending on Saturday Night, December 1st by 10pm EST.
They were being briefed on the task...A maze?...A maze with a cursed...bracelet at the end? Sounded like something stupidly dangerous. What was with these Professors?
Suddenly, Professor Hadley lifted her wand, shrubs bursting out of the floor to stand tall around them, immersing them in darkness. GAH! Wait! No warning shot?...Words of encouragement?
Bleh!
Withdrawing his wand quickly, Dylan started exploration. There was no better way to knock out this assignment out then jumping in head-first, yea? Famous last words? He stayed rooted to the spot for just a moment, whispering
lumos. Light flooded the path in front of him. There seemed to be nothing in sight...but the Slytherin knew not to feel too comforted by this. The more dangerous things were those unseen...So, he stayed vigilant.
He'd naturally assumed stuff would jump out at him, with moving forward...but his first real scare came in the form of something coiling around his ankle. Flashbacks of the man-eating plant raced through his mind, causing Dylan to let out a panicked shout/scream. It was going to drag him away like it had Milton...wrap his tendrils across him like an egg-roll and eat him!...but then he remembered he was a wizard and had a wand; a sudden realization that had him scoffing at himself. Several
Diffindo's later and the Captain was sprung, racing along the path again.
