They looked angry too. Savvy looked down at the grid thingies on the floor, hm.. pretty colors.

"Okay..."Savannah said, getting her wand out of her pocket and holding onto it for dear life. She wanted out of here, now.
"Alright. See the door?" Truebridge gestured. There were quite a few coloured squares between where they stood and where the door was, and several suits of armour too. "You control those suits of armour based on which squares you step on. Each step you take will result in them taking a step. Red squares make them step forward, Green make them step to the left, Yellow make them step backwards and blue make them step to the right. If they end up on an adjacent square to where you are, they will take a swing at you and if you try to move more than one square at a time, they will too. So you're in control, but you need to think ahead, and think about what consequences your actions will have. Keep in mind they are all facing different directions so they won't all move in exactly the same direction." He paused to be sure she was listening.

"You need your wand just in case one gets too close. You'll need to shield yourself if that happens." Of course, Truebridge would do so too, but she did not at this point need to know that and certainly shouldn't rely on others to protect her.

"There are several ways to the door and you can take your time. Be in control. I'll demonstrate just now so you can see how the suits of armour react."

Truebridge stepped on a green square and each suit of armour stepped to the right. Two of them were nicely out of the way but several others were close enough that where he moved to next would be decisive. He chose a red square and watched as they stepped forward, one of them coming to a stop with only one square between them. He stepped on a blue square and it stepped to the right, out of the way, though another had moved close enough to Truebridge for him to concern himself with. The professor glanced at the Slytherin girl again, checking to see that she understood how it would work, then he reset the suits of armour and returned to the center of the room.

"You may begin when you are ready."


ooc: at least 5 posts with as many movements in each post as you like, and you can RP how close you get to the suits of armour, but Truebridge won't actually let them hurt her. Feel free to get creative. Any questions feel free to PM me.
