Try to ignore your pain. What lies ahead doesn’t require as much physical strength as before; you need smarts, intelligence. How will you fare?
The light from your wand makes your way easier.
Creeeaaaaaaaaaaaak goes the door as you push it open, and the Shrieking Shack greets you with a musty, dusty spell. On the floor a few feet from the entranceway is a rolled up piece of parchment, yellowing in color. It’s a curious item, and the words held within are even curiouser.
They read:
*Click Me* Text Cut: Text Only
Remember: things are not always as they seem,
And with odd trinkets this shack does teem.
In the time remaining, you must find your way
And locate two items that have gone astray;
One is held dear to our pigletted friends.
It can’t build a home, but a house it does amend
To every boy and girl cherished at the castle,
But you won’t find it without much hassle.
You’re looking for a lever that unlocks a door,
But to find the item you might need a particular score.
Try them all, and you will see. Something is off.
Dust covers this place like an infernal cough.
Now, our next item is from across the seas.
It can attach and reattach as you please.
It doesn’t write; it surely isn’t a quill,
And it’s small in size as well as beautiful.
Twist clockwise and nothing you’ll get,
But counter that, and you might regret
The noxious gas that fills your space
If you turn it too quickly, wood it would deface.
Good luck, champions. Find them both here.
Look with your eyes, hear with your ears.
Search up and down, and then high and low,
But don’t be too hasty or too slow.
Is it clear what you must do now? Or has the riddle confused you more?
