Otto, Caoimhe, and Finlay woke up on the third level of Seylon's Tower, hungry and a bit uncomfortable, but ready to go onto the next level. Using their hall passes, they went up the stars to the next level, Muggle Magic.
They found themselves locked in a lightning-filled room.
Finlay used Finestra to turn a glass wall looking into a control room into powder.
They found the control panel and the manual fairly quickly, and the first word they tried was magic.
They went back and forth about what the colors meant, decided to go for purple first and almost changed their mind in the middle but then stuck with it and eventually opened the access door to the generator. The words they tried up until this point were:
magic
frame
aware
above
alone (the access door word)
During this, zombies were coming to life every round and they were having trouble defeating them (some of their spells not landing). Finlay did blind the one in the control room with them though and that helped alot.
After the door opened, they ran into the generator room. Caoimhe and Otto attacked the generator to destroy it. They also ran in and out of the generator room to the control panel to try new words. They tried:
- ready
- roast (the defense grid word)
The zombies all fell dead, and the defenses shut down. The generator had already been severely damaged though and exploded, blasting caoimhe into the wall.
Otto and Finlay were badly hurt and used healing potions before going to the next level.
In the next level, the Dragon Hatchery, the party found a bunch of eggs.
They found the journal entries
They touched the eggs. The first dragon was the timid Opaleye and took a liking to Finlay because of his sea-glass marble, a magic item he has from childhood that lets him feel animals emotions. They touched the other eggs, almost suffering poison damage and had to fight a Ochre Jelly off, but were able to do so with the help of the Opaleye wyrmlings ferocious bites.
They found the Chinese fireball (bonded to Caiomhe) and the Hungarian Horntail (bonded to Otto).
Hungry and not knowing where to find the key to the next level, they decided to head back to Hogwarts, hoping nobody noticed their over 24-hour disappearance.
They made it back to the Ravenclaw common room without anyone suspecting them (around midnight).
