Butterbeer Barrel Roll
Up at the very top of the hill between Hogsmeade’s cemetery and The Magic Neep is yet another game all set up and ready for a group of players to join in on the fun. Butterbeer Barrel Roll is the name of the game and it's played exactly how it sounds. The host of this game stood at the top of the hill amongst dozens of oversized barrels of butterbeer.
Maisie Windell, a gently aging woman normally known to run Honeydukes, is dressed quite lavishly in colorful clothing for the day's festivities. ”Hello, hello, my dears! Isn't today a simply marvelous day for some fun and games? Gather around, gather around, please.” She smiled warmly, waving over those that were close by. ”My name is Maisie Windell, some of you may know me from Honeydukes but if you do not, you should stop by sometime and say hello. Anyhow, yes, I'm sorry.. you're all here about the game, yes. This here is Butterbeer Barrel Roll!” Maisie reached behind her to place her hand on said barrel, the poor woman's hand falling through the air as she tried more than once. "Where is that barrel..” she glanced around to see it was at least two feet to her left and behind her! ”Oh, dear me. Well yes, anyhow, each person playing will start right here at the top of this hill. You will each be controlling one of these Butterbeer Barrels using the spell Depulso to guide your barrel down the hill. The first one to get their barrel to their designated hole at the bottom of the hill is the winner and gets to keep their Barrel of Butterbeer!” Now wasn't that exciting?!
Gesturing for those that wanted to be the first group to play, Maisie positioned them all in a line at the top of the hill. ”Now remember you each have your own color designated hole at the bottom of the hill. Our hill here has a cushioning charm on it for safety reasons. Please remember that you may only use Depulso to guide the barrel down the hill and around the stacks of hay that have been placed randomly about. It would do them all well to keep in mind that going downhill gravity will cause those barrels to roll quickly and unpredictably, quite possibly into the stream that is right beside the hill. OOC: Hello everyone! Butterbeer Barrel Roll is very easy to play. In groups (you don't have to wait for others but you're welcome to for more added fun!) Your character is to start at the top of the hill and guide a very large barrel of butterbeer down the hill using Depulso to their designated hole at the bottom to win. There are stacks of hay and a stream that may cause some trouble. Have fun!
