I’m going to wrap things up with Conley when I get home from work, and send Damian towards the Death Chamber with his new book, but we should definitely get a group together for tea sometime.

Has anyone else given their character abilities in a subject that turns out to be something you, the player, are not actually that good at? (asking for a friend...)

Yes, it happens all the times  I think that's a good thing because it also gives you as the RPer an opportunity to read up/educate yourself further on the topic of your character's abilities.

and like Alicia said, it's a fun self study and then you know all these random facts that you can pull out of the bag at times. Also fun when your character gets inspired by another character's passion and then it's like you are learning alongside one another

And sorry to everyone for not posting this week. New Ghostbusters movie came out this week, so I’ve been at various movie theaters making appearances. Between that and work, I’ve been wiped. I’ll go on a posting spree tomorrow.

Death Chamber. Lair of Despair. If Damian makes it out alive, he's definitely going to start hanging out at more cheerful places.

Originally Posted by The Narrator As the students flip through the pages of the newly discovered book, eventually they come across the following passage that seems to almost jump off the page at them. Perhaps this information is what you'recurse breaker. Quote:
The Pharaoh's Triumph is a flowering vine plant endemic to Egypt. It is exceedingly rare due to its undesirable and weaponised nature, being an uncontrollably invasive and harmful species, and is believed to be extinct by some contemporary Herbologists. Dating back to the Old Kingdom, arguably the most notable feature of the Pharaoh's Triumph is its naturally occurring curse. When planted, the Pharaoh's Triumph was once used to wipe out a rivalling people's plant life, taking out food sources and thus affecting creature mortality, ultimately giving whoever planted it in their enemies' land absolute power.
A curious feature of the Pharaoh's Triumph is its ability to disguise itself flawlessly as any other plant (most likely another vined plant) with which it has come into contact. It can magically mimic not only the appearance, but also the biological make-up of the plant it uses as a disguise, apparently down to its very DNA. Once planted, quasi-sentient vines with mesmerising flowers appear in the surrounding area, leeching life from all other plant life and becoming more aggressive as more time passes.
Only when the Pharaoh's Triumph reaches full maturity does it shed its disguise, at which point it releases the full force of its curse and can no longer be approached by a living being. Shrouding itself in a poisonous, magic-dissolving fog which spreads through the land, the plant itself can continue to thrive on the life force drained from all around it. Only one method of ending the destruction is known: the Pharaoh's Triumph must be burnt and itself destroyed, ideally before the fog can appear.
The ghost of Anastasia R. Bunbury Truebridge would kindly like to remark that this time, it's not her fault that a curse from Egypt is upon the School.  | |

Ronan would like to point out that a) he did try to alert but someone wouldn't cooperate and his meerkat got lost and b) they're with a big, bad auror, what's the worst that could happen?

Surely, no one would be so daft. It’s really quite ridiculous to assume that someone would do such a thing. Like, what would even give you the idea that an unspeakable could be so brash and impulsive?
Perish the thought. Everything is fiiiine.

Really, if Goldwasser just hangs out a bit longer in his Lair of Despair, I think his pursuers might just hex each other out for him.
And now as the school year ends and people are planning their excursions to Diagon Alley, may I invite you to consider the Shrunken Heads Bowling Alley, a great place for an excursion or a date, or even a clandestine meeting if you're so inclined. (Because poor Barty Belcher could use the business.)
