The rescuers finally found their precious key to safe their princesses. Some of them might be tempted to take the golden treasures with them, but eventually, their heart is returned to the right path to continue their journey to save their partners. It was then that a long braid of hair appears in front of the towers with their princesses looking from the outside of the window, begging their rescuer to save them. The committees are gathered below the tower, ready to give instructions to the rescuer that have found their golden key.
The damsel have finished their intricate task of braiding their long magnificent mane. Some of them struggled to learn the technique of creating a strong twine, but some of them seemed like they are a master at braiding hair. It was certainly thrilling to watch them compete to finish their braid faster. When they all finished their beautiful braid, the committees instructed them to throw their braid outside of the owlery windows. People that have grown up with fairytales and books, should understand what are their tasks next. But the black-robed committees still continue to state the instructions for their next round.

ROUND 3 [IC instructions]
The Rescuer. [CLIMB]"The distressed princesses have called upon their mighty prince to save them from the daunting witch's tower. To save their darling princesses, their savior has to climb their princess's luscious mane and get to the tower dashingly. Would the prince falter from the formidable height or would they reach their princesses victoriously?"
The Damsel [WITHSTAND]
"The damsel is filled with terror while ready to have their rescuer climb their beautifully crafted braided hair. They take all of their hair out the window sill, and howl for help to their righteous prince. But would they be able to stand the agony of someone climbing on their mane?"

It took quite a long time for Daphne to braid, or at least it felt like hours to her. Her fingers braided as fast as they could, aching by the time she was done. While she wasn't the last one to finish, she wasn't the first, her hair feeling quite heavy as she finally stood up straight. She definitely needed a nap after this. Now she knew how Rapunzel felt, how could anyone live with so much hair like this? Not to discriminate anyone with extremely long hair of course.. Daphne wasn't very sure how much more things they would have to go through in order to win, but it seemed like once David reached her that she would win. Going over to the window, Daphne (with a lot of struggle) threw her hair out, it reaching all the way to the bottom. When she saw David there, she waved the long long piece of hair, indicating it belonged to her. This was like a fairytale, although a bit scary, she may as well have some fun. "Ohh there you are my brave mighty prince! I have let down my hair so you may climb my uh...thy golden stair!" She always wanted to say that, well not until now.

I immediately began to look inside my the pile for the golden key which I assumed we’d be using to unlock the door of the owlery to get our damsel. I didn’t like the idea since that’s not how the story went along with the book, so I hoped I was wrong. I looked over many pieces of golden jewelry; bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings, and watches, and yet, none of them were the key. Regardless, I kept on looking, and pretty soon, I found it. By this point however, Logan Baird, my dueling partner from my first official duel and one of the prefects for Hufflepuff had already finished and was waiting by the owlery tower, waiting for something. As I finished, the girl from that had greeted me when I came out of the maze came up to me and told me my next instructions: “The distressed princesses have called upon their mighty prince to save them from the daunting witch's tower. To save their darling princesses, their savior has to climb their princess's luscious mane and get to the tower dashingly. Would the prince falter from the formidable height or would they reach their princesses victoriously?” It then dawned on me that the key was probably going to be used inside of the tower, most likely to unlock some sort of door on the inside that would lead us to victory. It was then that I noticed a long braid of blonde hair waving a bit off to the side from me. I looked up to see Daphne’s face, and moments later, heard her say “Oh there you are my brave mighty prince! I have let down my hair so you may climb my uh...thy golden stair!”Daphne - #244b5e
Dave - #cd0a2f
Pea - #ffffff
Brave? Oh, certainly, there was no denying that, but mighty? Well, if you were speaking in terms of magical power, then yes, I was mighty. If you were speaking about physical strength however, then I was very weak. So weak in fact, that I could only barely beat my eight year old sister in an arm wrestle, and I was no match for my two younger brothers who were eleven and nine. And this, was what worried me. See, I wasn’t scared of heights, but boy, was I bad at climbing, weather that be relative tall trees, or Daphne’s hair. I looked all the way up at her and noted how much there was too climb. I mean, sure, I could scale a small, twelve foot tree, but this? The tower was a fifty feet tall at least, so I was severely doubting the fact that I could make it before the rest of my opponents. I put my key into my suit, and stepped up to Daphne’s hair before shouting at the top of my lungs: “ALRIGHT DAPHNE, IF THIS REALLY IS YOUR HAIR THEN THIS IS GOING TO HURT! JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD TELL YOU!” And with those words, I stretched out my right hand and grabbed onto Daphne’s hair before sighing. ‘This is going to take a long, long time.’ I thought.

ㅤ──────────────────────| ── | It was time. After having completed the prank with Elsian, Kim focused on doing his own braid of the huge heaps of orange hair. The boy worked fast, not because he wanted to win, but because he wanted to get this over and done with as fast as possible. After all, Kim always held out the hope that after he completed a task, the next would let him exit the tower. He didn't mind playing games, in fact he enjoyed doing so, but when said games involved heights or cats, the enjoyment diminished for him. Just because the previous task hadn't allowed him to leave the tower, didn't mean the next one wouldn't! The only way he'd know would be to finish asap. Only time would reveal the answer to him. Thankfully, this next task was doing something Kim was very familiar with, braiding his hair. On a daily basis Kim tended to style his hair in different manners. He'd even done braids before. Not to this extent but braids were a familiar style that he was used to doing on himself. He even had some experience doing it for others too, although not as much as on himself. Once he'd finished the extremely long orange colored braid, Kim looked over at the committee who were clothed in black and in charge and held part of the braid up into the air for them to take a look. Kim didn't care if he was the first or not. He just wanted to move on to the next stage as soon as possible, to distract his mind from where he was. But what the committee told him to do next made him freeze for a brief period of time. What had they said told him to do? Kim blinked, feeling his legs quiver and his muscles froze in place. Did they just tell him to go over to the window, look out and throw the braid down?! How on earth could he do something like that?! But... maybe this was the last task he needed to do, in order to get back down. Kim tried to calm himself and think logically about this matter. Okay, so he didn't need to look out the window, right? The point was to throw the braid out the window now. However, he didn't need to look, right? Get this over with as soon as possible, don't think about it. That was what Kim told himself inside his mind as he grabbed his orange braid and inched backward towards the open window that was nearest to him. Reaching out behind him he felt the wall against his fingertips and stopped, feeling air a millimeter away from his fingers. That was the opening, alright. Taking a deep breath, Kim used his other hand to grab the orange braid and threw it behind him. Hopefully, it made it out. He was fairly sure it had for the most part. Because he could feel it drop down outside a bit. A familiar voice was heard down below, Bailey's voice. She was saying something about not looking down. Well, that was obvious. He wouldn't ever look down, or even out the window! But it was nice to know she was going to start climbing now. Kim wrapped his hands around the orange braid and closed his eyes. Even though it was dark, there was a moon out there, illuminating the area from time to time. He slowly turned around and planted both feet up against the side of the wall. Once situated, Kim leaned backward, while holding onto the orange braid, prepared to help stabilize the braid so Bailey could climb. Hopefully, she could do this as fast as possible for his mental state! ────────────────────── ㅤ ㅤ──────────────────────

─────Avery lets out a small sigh of relief as she finishes tying off the ridiculously long braid. She shakes out tired arms, the repetitive motion of the past however many minutes certainly taking its toll. Satisfied that she was finally finished, the Hufflepuff peers down at the braided hair. It had been a long time since she'd had long hair. If nothing else, the task helped solidify the fact that she hated having long hair.
While the tale that this task seemed to be based upon was one she was familiar with, Avery couldn't say she was quite looking forward to the next step when the instructions where given. She didn't imagine having someone use your hair as a rope ladder was a particularly pleasant feeling. But the Hufflepuff certainly wasn't keen to bow out at this point. How bad could it be? The question wasn't given much consideration, she knew this was going to suck one way or another. But the feint vein of competitiveness was too strong, she could never turn down a fun challenge. She'd deal.
Dragging the lengthy braid over towards the tower's edge, the first year only spares a brief glimpse at the edge. That was...a long drop. Was this challenge even safe? Avery could deal with the personal discomfort, but she dreaded the thought of Edme accidentally falling on her way up. Surely there were safety precautions, the school wouldn't let students injure themself like that. At least, she desperately hoped.
With a huff, she tosses the end of the braid over parapet, quickly grabbing a hold of the lengthy locks closer to her head to brace it and not let it jerk her head to the side. She takes a deep breath and braces against the wall, as firm a grip as she can manage on the hair to help brace it and hopefully ease some of the pulling. "Good luck," she mutters, a quiet wish of support towards her date on the ground.────────────────────────────────

Braiding his hair Lloyd may have gotten sidetracked- he had peeked out the window, and had gotten sidetracked watching his love Eloise seemingly searching for something in the pile of gold.
She is so pretty. Beautiful, glowing. How do I deserve her? She truly is a princess, one that deserves all my love and affection- I should make sure she knows that fact
Lloyd was so sidetracked he didn’t realize two pranksters, Kim and Elsian, were braiding his and Colin’s hair together. Lloyd knew none of these boys, but he would get to know at least one of the better by the end of the night.
Returning to braiding, Lloyd saw the tangle of hair that was his and Colin’s braids. He of course thought this was his fault, because of his sloppy braiding.
Going up to Colin, he said in his French accent “Sir, I hate to say this is but our hair appears to be knitted together- I believe it may be my fault braiding hair is not something I do often.”
After they figured this out Lloyd would throw down his braid to Eloise.@Astoria Swann as her iNPC Eloise @Kim Sato @Colin McCoire @Elsian Cox

Somehow Edme had managed to dig her hand through the piles of gold and pull out a grand, shiny key.

One word and suddenly all that pride deflated to the cold shock of fear.⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄
The tower was high up, maybe so high that if Edme so much as tried to get their feet above a brick, she'd be tumbling down to the ground and blowing her back out. Obviously there was some support set in place to avoid that happening, right? Right?
Avery's long braid of hair was tossed down to where the Ravenclaw stood, impatient with nerves. They looked up to try and catch a glimpse of the girl, but it was mostly hair from there. It would be soon enough that the two would be reunited, so they channeled their greatest strong storybook hero and grabbed onto the first bit of the braid. Hopefully Avery wasn't too hurt by this.
"Sorry..." Edme winced as they tried their best to be careful with the hair, and continued to hoist herself up the tower. Soon enough, she would be up there, and then it would be an easier problem to deal with; Getting down.Action: Climbing the TowerReducioRace: Werewolf

Ah, got it. So the key he had been searching turned out to be golden all along, or at least it was painted in gold.
After that, Marius was informed by the committee that the next task would be to climb to reach the upper floor of the tower. However, instead of taking the stairs, he and the other contestants (who had found the golden key, that is) were to climb by pulling their teammate's now-enormous hair. The Hufflepuff noticed in an instant that this challenge was inspired by the fairy tale of Rapunzel.
But of course, knowing the story did not necessarily mean that one enjoyed it. On the contrary, the preteen found its plot silly and stupid, to be honest. And the parts where the witch and the prince climbed up the tower by pulling the commoner's hair? The idea itself was definitely unrealistic and absurd. Marius had always been sure that instead of successfully reaching their goal, it was more likely for them to accidentally pull Rapunzel down with them, causing an accident for both parties.
However, as his eyes scanned the hair dangling in front of him, the boy hoped so hard that the possibility would not happen to him. He had broken his ankle back in the first year when he fell off a window, and it was absolutely not fun. "Here it goes," he thought, starting to climb. Up, up, up.

Looping the long braid over her arms, she staggered over to the window and called down, hoping River might hear her.
"River Fayre, I do request your help in saving me!" she said as loudly and confidently as she could, hoping that it would attract the girl to head in her direction.
Once River had successfully managed to find her, Chiaki carefully lowered down the braid, trying to not hit River with the hair in the process. "I am ready... I think," Chiaki warned in broken English, clutching onto the window-sill with a surprisingly tight grip, bracing and preparing herself for the pain of carrying a human's weight through just the strength of her hair.Action: Letting down her hairStats:
