You turn and shrug to the others as no real idea comes to mind as to what to do.

”We could go speak to Robert” says Olivia “Though I would rather not”

Joel hums in agreement as he mulls over what’s best to do. Nigel on the other hand seems to have wandered off down the hall.

“Nigel?” you say, wandering down to see what he’s up to. He’s standing in front of a portrait.

“Hello” he says pleasantly to an old man slumped in a chair in the portrait. “I was wondering if you could help me.”

The old man scratches his bald head and leans forward, the hairs of his beard fluffing with every word he speaks in a low huff.

“And what could a first year possibly need beyond being-in-lessons-when-they’re-supposed-to?”

Nigel doesn’t falter, he replies in earnest.

”We have a matter to speak to the Headmaster about, would you be so kind as to give us the password so we may do so?”

”No”
“Why?”
“He’s not in”
“Where’s he gone?”
“Beats me”

Nigel looks to you for some assistance.

>Question the portrait
>try something else
>Go talk to Robert

>>24152295
>Go to class.

The big reason for going to see him right away was to confirm/deny that he and the flying teacher are one and the same.

If he's not here then that's already over.
We can come back later when he's in if we still want to talk to him.

Go to class. We are a Ravenclaw and I'm tired of falling behind in our studies. We haven't tipped our hand to Bergle yet so we should wait to be more subtle.

My writing is almost bareable when you shop it like that. 10/10.

I see no reason to doubt him, though that is some troubling information.

I always miss the quest these days, so I have no clue if this is still relevant:
If we want to find out if Maud is a contestant, shouldn't we just try to find out if she got detention for trying to steal one of the crystal spheres?

Rolled 84

>>24152558

Considering that we have identified the BBEG, our relationship with Maud will probably be relegated to post-climatic battle cleanup.

>>24152295
Question the portrait.
Has the headmaster been acting strange recently?

>>24152609
I don't know, I think she's a part of this, considering that bad things have been happening to contestants.
I think we should get confronting her out of the way, maybe have Joel lurking nearby to subdue her with his hero powers.

IM HERE IN TIME!

Ideas for us to Succeed and not Die:

I think the biggest key to our success is not relying on dice during life or death situations. We do this with preparation.

Magical amulets. See if we can engrave a shield spell on an amulet. If we have something that will automatically take the hit even if we fail our roll, we'll be much better off.

Weapons. Considering the number of times we've already been attacked, I think it's perfectly sensible to carry a few weapons.
A knife- Simple, effective and likely to catch someone off guard as a weapon of last resort.
Prepared potions- Smoke bomb to cover our escape. An exploding potion so we have an attack that doesn't rely on dice.

Thoughts? Other ideas?

You stand beside Nigel and look up at the portrait.

(Sorry for ignoring the dialog input there, had an idea and want to roll with it. See below)

With an amazing spot of luck you realize that the old man hasn’t put his glasses on which sit limply in his hand. He continues to look at you with a dull gaze as if tired of a hard day’s reading, perhaps his reason for not realizing you’re wearing a blue lined robe is because he’s colour-blind…Any doubt of course would be rendered from his mind the moment he puts on his specs, being as Nigel stands next to you with the same coloured robes on.

You notice the old man’s hand ascend as he fidgets to put the glasses on, you have to distract him! Say something! Quick!

We have access to a potions lab. We already have one potion in our inventory that we brewed during class and kept.
In the cannon-verse, Harry and Co were always sneaking away ingredients to brew potions and stuff in secret.

If we go to the library and look for a book on engraving amulets, we might be able to do that ourself.

At the very least, it's worth looking into.

Wut?

Err... No. I'm suggesting we prepare some potions and charms in advance so we don't need to rely only on dice rolls during life and death situations.

Having a shield charm engraved on an amulet to take the hit what we fail our roll could save our life.

Having a paralyzing potion to throw when our hex roll fails could win the fight.

>>24153145
thank him and then hurry in to the headmasters office.

You thank for the portrait for his assistance as you work up to asking some more questions, it’ll have to wait for another time however as Joel calls you over. You draw your wand and recite the password and, would you know it, the eagle statue raises into a narrow stairwell. The four of you make you way up into the office before the stairwell closes behind you.

Looking around the office you remember the last time you were here speaking with the Headmaster about being sorted into Ravenclaw. You had made the decision to stick with the hat’s choice…though whether you made the right one is still for you to decide.

Going with this. Unless looking at something counts the same as touching something in the Wizardry world.

The only reason we came was to see if the headmaster wasn't here, right? Because that would mean Bergle is somehow pretending to be the headmaster.

So that suspicion is confirmed, the headmaster is an imposter. Lets

You decide to search the place for some evidence to support your theory that Bergle being the impostor. The group splits up as everyone heads off in their own direction; you take the flight of stairs and look for something, anything, which might further validate your suspicions. You come across a series of books that line the back wall above a map of the castle. You remove a couple books and look inside. Most are in another language so you can’t even begin to decipher their meanings or what use they might have. As you set a couple aside you notice another book at the back that you might just be able to reach…you stretch your fingers as you dig your hand inside to grab it. You’ve. Almost. Got. It…

The entire bookcase tumbles down and almost crushes you as books rain down and strike the floor. You take a hit to the eyebrow which will definitely leave a bruise if not a cut if you’re not lucky.

The others run over to see if you’re okay. Joel kneels beside you and casts Wingardium Leviosa to set the bookcase back. Nigel and Olivia lift you to your feet and brush you off as Joel sees to packing the books away, one at a time as he reads the covers, just as perplexed as you.

you can't hide from the headmaster of hogwarts. let's try and hide nonetheless.

Honestly I doubt we have much chance of hiding.

>>24154227

>>24154227

Well, if we hide, then either he'll find us or he won't, and we can either watch him for something suspicious or get our asses reamed out/killed.

If we wait, then we can either talk to the headmaster (if it's really him), or try and smooth talk our way out of this.

I say we hide.

>>24154227
I am voting wait, because the chances of hide working is very low.

At the sound of ascending footsteps you make the decision to take the book in hand, wand in the other, and stand your ground. Is it bravado? Have you simply come to a point where having the potential culprit behind all the trouble you’ve been having walk straight up that stairwell is too much to pass up? You stay where you are as Nigel and Olivia scramble behind a bookshelf.

Joel stands by your side, wand drawn and gives you a nod with a grin whilst giving you a slight nudge.

This will never get old.

You wait with bated breath for whoever it is to walk right up those stairs and look you in the eye. You’re shaking and have begun to sweat with anticipation, if only those bloody steps weren’t so damn steep and winding! Joel looks to you and you look back at him…his grin turns to something else as he bows his head and looks to the stairwell.

A tall gaunt figure enters with billowing robes that could only belong to a wizard of high esteem; none other than Headmaster Tooledge. He stops at the entranceway as he gazes idly up at you both with an emotionless expression. You feel time pass excruciatingly slowly as he watches you with sunken eyes.

“Mr. Barish. Miss. Fauxly” he says in a droll voice “Is something the matter?”

You say nothing has doubt enters your mind. This is the only outcome that doesn’t give you an answer; right now you could be in a room with the culprit of all your problems or it could be the real headmaster. To not handle this situation with supreme caution could mean your life. With a glance at Joel you can see his jaw is clenched as he is equally as puzzled as you. Tooledge enters the room in earnest and sits in an armchair facing away from you.

“Care to explain that nasty cut on your brow?” he says, resting his head in his hand as if the weight of the world is on his shoulders.

“It’s really nothing” you say, tapping the cut with you finger and looking down at the sheen of blood. “By the way sir…”

Tooledge sits up and peers round the armchair with one arm supporting him, in the light you feel a twinge in your stomach at the sight of him. You’ve never seen him look so old before.

”Yes?” he says, swallowing audibly with drowsy eyes.

“"Sir, your sister wished us to tell you that her friend has left her." you say, gripping your wand tightly for something, anything to happen. You can feel a pressure building in your head which is only subdued by the knowledge that Tooledge might give the correct answer and that you’re not alone in the room…yet with if you’ve just put your friends in grave danger? What if you’re wrong and Nigel, Joel and Olivia are going to be the real causalities of this situation. Part of you wishes you could take the words back as you look at Tooledge mull over an answer.

He looks at you, then to Joel, and then over to the bookcase where Nigel and Olivia are hid.

”I don’t have a sister” he says, waiting to gauge your reaction.

Well, no, it's the first knee-jerk reaction.

But really, we should act as if he answered correctly. Give him a false report on our progress in the contest.

>>24155541

I would like to remind you that there are MANY instances in canon where unskilled children have dropped powerful adult characters via first striking.

>>24155408
We gave him time to raise his guard, so fighting him is suicide.
Running is futile.

what if he's giving us a wrong answer by purpose? We know he's not him, he knows he's not him, so keeping the ruse is maybe inadeguate.

Wait, what if this is really him and we never met the real him?

Petrificus Totalus is the Gryffindor answer. Let's play it like he answered the question correctly. And since we know he's full of shit, we can make up a reason as to why we are here.

>Good, you told us to keep you updated on the contest. I have a good lead on the magic ball

>>24155541

I honestly believe that curses to the face are the answer. We outnumber him and he does not have his wand drawn

Saying this, he's happy to sit down and answer the question, so if he IS a bad guy, he has a plan. therefore, despite my gut instinct, we should feed him a false report on our progress and inform him we suspect trib

Then zap his shit when he lets his guard down

>>24155702
THIS SITUATION DEMANDS FATE POINT USAGE

>>24155703
If it is him, then he should be able to handle us. If it isn't, then hopefully he can't.

>>24155660
Except it's not first strike at all.
He's gotten a chance to look at us, and Joel, and he already knows where Nigel and Olivia are.
Sure a surprise attack could net us a victory, but he is not surprised.
His weariness is because he is prepared to kill us all if he thinks we saw through him.
