Okay, now how to deal with the smoke?
Quickly he ran over the options in his head, knowing he had to move on as soon as he could. There were a few, some more obvious then others. Yet finally Simon waved his wand at the smoke, casting a transfiguration spell that changed it into a cloud of daggers, another wave sending the weapons harmlessly to the ground and out of his line of sight. One just barely missing nicking his nose as the smoke had been close.
His vision clearer, the glow of green could be seen in the distance. Marker number two was already lit and Simon did his best to quickly focus on it to move but not to make a mistake in his haste. He then went through the motions of apparating towards his new destination, his eyes closing slightly as he visualized himself appearing there and hoping he wasn't too late.
One...two...three...open.
Whew.
A strong Impedimenta is sent your way the second you appear in the marker. There's no time to react, and therefore your movements have been significantly slllllllooooooooowwwwwweeeeeeddddd down. It's hardly conducive to your mission when you need to act quickly.

Quickly, the MLE scanned the room for a sign of the green hoop. There! Straight up ahead. The three D's immediately shot into his mind, just like if it were yesterday when he was taking his first Apparition lesson at Hogwarts.
Jory concentrated solely on the green hoop as he turned on the spot. He felt that all too familiar pull around his naval and then that feeling of suffocation that he never quite got used to as he was rushed toward his destination.
With a faint POP! Jory emerged from the feeling of suffocation as he breathed regularly once more. He looked down. His Destination, Determination and Deliberation paid off for he was standing in the green hoop.
A shimmering gold mist floats a few feet over your marker, and you soon find yourself rising into the air, upside down. It seems the effects of gravity has been reversed. Good luck progressing to your next marker, it's flashing
green you know.
