Exam: Chamber 2 (RP)

- Ari -

Your handfulls of goop pass through first few stones you throw them at, but then --fortunately before you run out-- splat into the top of one that is real. Hopefully it does not leave the surface too slippery when people jump to it.

That stone is chest-height, but only wide enough for one person at a time, or maybe two if they are prepared to be rather intimate. If the ground weren't shaking so, you may have been able to try balance one or two more on it.

The air around you also crackles with pent up energy and you will need to release it before you can attempt any more Wizard spells.

What do you do?

- Abigail -

Your familiar passed right through the first stone you try and is briefly engulfed by the something below it.. possibly the earth? It is hard to tell as your view is blocked by the stone-illusion.

It is not lost forever, but you will need to do something to free and retrieve it.

What do you do?

- Hooligander -

Do you need any help getting across the gap to the next stone? Maybe Ari can help? Do you use magic?

- Abigail -

It could have been worse. You can still sense your familiar in there, panicked but mostly-unharmed. Whatever is in that trap is clearly more risky than the ones that just hurt you or make your boots smoke, it seems to completely cancel out your spell and nothing happens.

What do you do?

- Ari -

With a pop the familiar is sucked though the 'hat' and flutter over to Abigail, the build-up of energy around you rushes out in the other direction.

The audience is enthused by your showmanship --though some look askance at the 'disappointing rabbit'-- but the judges are more critical of how much this looked like the wrong sort of magic.

What do you do?

- Ari and Hooligander -

The stone you stand on is still slippery from the testing-goop, it is also high enough that falling could cause injury even if the ground does not try to eat you.

If you huddle together on the non-gooped edge you should be able to avoid slipping, but you will definitely be right up in each other's space.

What do you do?

Alakassandra is on the dangerous ground, the shield Spell will not last much longer. Abigail is on the rock recently vacated by Ari and Hooligander, within jumping distance of those two, but also withing jumping distance of a few other, untested, stepping stones. There is room on Abigail's pillar.

Ari and Hooligander are the closest to the two remaining erect stone fingers. Closing them has definitely had some effect on the arena, but you still don't know if that is a positive or negative one.

Which fingers remain?

What do you do?
