All of this thinking of how to buy yourself more time is doing the exact opposite. Time continues to pass, and the Runespoor is not going to wait patiently for you to figure out a plan of action. The left head hisses, causing all three sets of fangs to be bared. Bon appetit.

The Orbis Jinx is casted just in the knick of time. The large snake is quickly incased in an orb, causing it to trash around in an eager attempt to escape. No matter how many times the three heads smack against the azure whirlwind it is confined in, it begins to sink into the ground. Within a matter of moments, the Runespoor is covered in earth.

Looking back at the cherry door is likely to easily upset you. It still isn’t opening. But why?

Soon enough, the three heads of the Runespoor emerge from the ground and the rest of its body slithers out after them. The right head hisses angrily at you. The middle head’s eyes are set squarely on you. The left head remains silent as the creature’s tail flicks off some dirt. A low hiss is given to the other two heads. Attack.

Perhaps you should play to your strength after all: Transfiguration.
