SAVE YOUR DATE : round 4 fall ball 2022 game FINALE Closed

It might look like an easy task, but cutting or severing long braided hair is actually more difficult than it seems. But they did it anyway, and with the power of their romance, they are saved- almost. It was one last step, one last challenge, to finally be free from the torment of the evil witch. It was an easy challenge, it would seem. But when they open the creaky door with the golden key they found. They are greeted with a hallway full of snakes and fog. Yes. Snakes. Will their love persevere through the fearsome snakes? or would they find a light in a foggy hallway and run through the finish line without fear? It is up to the lovers for who would complete the challenge first.

[FINALE][IC instructions]

The Rescuer and The Damsel [ESCAPE]
"The two have sheered the damsel's heavy mane into the bottom of the tower. There is no other way to the outside now other than the locked wooden door. But the rescuer is prepared as they have found the key to get them out of the deadly tower. It was the key to the final puzzle of it all. And it was also the key to both their freedom and victory against the wicked witch. Would they escape the grip of the evil witch in time? or would they fall to their doom in the hands of the wicked witch and their minion?"

ooc instruction [FINAL]

Reducio

Both the rescuer and damsel need to unlock the lock from the door chamber with the key the rescuer found in round 2 and run to the finish line together [while avoiding the snakes] where the first couple to pass the finish line would win the game.

DC 16

The rescuer and the damsel would get a DC roll + your stat ACCURACY
When you pass the DC (16+) for you to finish the game.
If your roll doesn't pass DC 16, one/both of you struggled to open the lock or stumble when running to the finish line and you need to do another post/action.

Logan glanced at the open door with wide eyes. Now Logan was not afraid of snakes, at least not when she knew exactly where the snakes were and if someone else was handling them. This was just a hall full of snakes and fog, making it not only difficult to see but dangerous to run through. There was no way they would risk a student getting bit by a poisonous snake...right. The brunette glanced over at Elsian with a frown on her face.

"Would you like to go first...I really think you should go first." She told him with a slight grin on her face before glancing back towards the hall of snakes. Logan was absolutely terrified of a snake getting caught up in the fabric of her skirt and biting her out of panic. How would she explain that one to anybody? Maybe she should have found a way to bring Sherlock up the tower with her, the snakes would have moved away from the cat probably.

Logan was honestly overreacting with this. As long as she did not scare or harm the snakes than she should be perfectly fine. They were more afraid of her than she was of them anyway, although that was really a complete lie.

Eloise rolled her eyes at his words, and Lloyd grinned cheekily at her. He was truly a hopeless romantic, and the person who would adore his partner for the rest of time. No matter how irritated or anything she was, he would still be there, a flower standing tall throughout a storm.
Thankfully, Eloise agreed to leave his hair longer, at least for right then. As she sawed through his hair, he stayed as still as he could, so that he would not get cut or slow Eloise down.
"it would be fun to win, to show that love can beat all!" Lloyd said in french,
As his long braid fell to the floor, Lloyd grabbed Eloise's hand as they ran to the locked wooden door. they were following the instructions of the 'witch' and were closely followed by another pair. "Do you have the key?" he asked, hoping that they did not need to search for it now.
once they made it through the door, the pair were met by fog.. and through the fog Lloyd spotted a snake.
His first thought was to be scared, but his second thought was aww how cute!!!
Of course, Lloyd wanted to keep the snake as a pet. But, then he remember this was a challenge. Taking Eloise's hand, he led her though the room as carefully as he coul.

Edme continued to hack at Avery's long locks, trying her best to work around the thickness of it. She found herself a bit sheepish at her serious lack of strength, especially since these two had bonded over their shared love of Quidditch, a fairly physical sport. They tried to cut a bit faster, although was still a bit nervous of ruining the girl's original haircut.

"A bit tough, isn't it?" The Ravenclaw laughed a bit between cutting, trying to lighten their mood a bit. Surely they were falling a bit behind, but that was alright. Avery wouldn't mind, right? Right. Surely. Of course. "I've nearly got it, I believe."

It was strange, really, that this game was able to bring out the strange part of Edme that craved victory. Now, naturally Quidditch had given them that outlet, but this was a different kind of fire. This was true and human determination, and Edme had never wanted to win more than now. Was that a bad thing? Quite possibly. Probably.

"I almost wish they had more running-based sports at Hogwarts. Then we might actually have a better chance at winning this thing." Quidditch was good, but obviously you didn't need to use your legs too much when sitting on the broom.

Even as strand by stand of hair fell and littered the stone around them, there always seemed to be more to immediately take its place. If nothing else, this was certainly solidifying the snap decision made years ago to keep her hair short. She forgot how unruly and annoying it could be to deal with. Even if 'dealing' with it just involved hacking it back off.

Avery's arms were still a little sore from the whole climbing fiasco, so she found herself passing the knife back and forth between hands to ease the strain. At this point, she wasn't even horribly concerned by the end result. It grew quickly enough that it could likely be spruced up over the next couple weeks if needed. She was just eager for it to be gone once more.

Edme's voice drew her attention away from the current clump she was sawing away at, blue eyes flicking up to regard her date. The Hufflepuff cracks an amused grin at the observation. "Yeah, it's always been a struggle. Just, y'know, not quite to this degree before." The amount of hair was honestly a little ridiculous at this point. "At least we're nearly done."

Another long bunch of hair falls free and Avery lets out a small sigh of relief. Talk about a freeing sensation. "True. The sports they do have are all pretty interesting, but it's either on a broom or flinging spells at one another. The only time I really get running time in is when I'm nearly late to class. And that's not nearly as fun." Where was a Hogwarts rugby team when you needed one? Then again...being faced up against a half-giant on a rugby pitch sounded more than a little daunting.

@Marius Brown

Just as Ash thought, using the old fashion way was indeed not so practical as using magic. Perhaps Ash wasn't strong enough, or maybe her hair was just too thick for them to cut through. Or...maybe the daggers they were using were not sharp enough.

Had Ash knew that certain spell, things might become easier......

Ash let out a frustrating sign, it really looked like that in this round, they kind of "fail"...so far they both went smoothly in each round of the game, but in this round, they finally face their very first "hardship". She could guess that her partner, Marius, wouldn't be too happy about the current situation they were in now, but it's a game and they were trying their best. And most importantly, was to have fun together.

While Marius was also trying to cut her braided hair the best he could with a dagger, muttering "come on" a few times and this time with a bit more speed. Ash would do the same as well.

Ok! Even though my hand is starting to hurt now, but I can't leave Marius hanging. I have to at least try cutting this damn hair as soon as possible!

They both had no other choice than to continue cutting the hair with the daggers in their hands, using all the remaining strength they had in them. The young Gryffindor could only hope that they wouldn't end up getting last place.

Action: Continue cutting her braided hair with her partner
