Novice my butt, you either know what you're doing, or you have a penchant for this. Either way, I'm going to pull out a rarely used clause, the Dumbledore Corollary. It allows an in-school apparition.

Which takes us to the Entrance Hall. All bets are off now, folks.

Unfortunately for you all, I am allowed to enter the game at this point because of the reversal invoked by the use of a trap door, which can trigger an entry point. I understand it doesn't have to, but it's within the rules.

As the entry counts as a move in this case, I will play my hand to Gryffindor Commons.

Well I just finished washing my car, so that means I get to triple influx and head to Classroom Eleven.

Bam! Classroom'd.

I'm going to have to use that special Teacher-Linkage move, which takes us to the Divination Classroom.

Do bear in mind that anything in here is put into negatives thanks to the Grimm bonus I have.

That's totally unfair... unfortunately it's a legal move. If you're going to play that way and force us all somewhere, expect to get some unfair moves played back on you, man.

I'm taking a lateral downward move through the trap door to the fifth floor corridor. Got a long way to walk now. Thanks.

Excellent move, chap, but you put me in perfect position. Invoking the Labyrinth Longitude -without- a Marauder's Preference and heading to...

The Old Lady's Portrait.

Not so fast, Gusgus. Parallel to the Gryffindor fat lady portrait.

Thanks Tsu, that made my day. Transverse double switchback tag-along, dropping off at the Owlry.

Considering the left-side lateral shunt that required, and the clear statement of the rules surrounding that, I invoke a reversal.

Putting me squarely in the Sign Room.

That's just sneaky, going where you know the owls can't reach you.

The reversal again allows for a double move. I'm going to play two owl cards at the owlry. Owl to Dumbledore for assistance, which gives me a free Dumbledore-assisted move, and an owl to Seril with a false message for a misdirection on his next turn.

My Dumbledore-assisted move will be an apparation to the Astronomy Tower.

Well now, that move to the Sign Room gave a free-to-join pass as you all know. So I'm going to have to take the next move. Calan, I think you for putting me in such an easy position.

I have to play the Sierra Card which allows a double-move when made from the Tower; an instant jump to the Grounds with a switch-over to St. Mungos. Try me, fellas.

I hope you made your three natural 20 rolls required to pull that move without a forced exit from the game, and I hope you didn't forget that such a move requires a forfeit of all future moves until someone plays an Amber card....

Having witnessed the prior move, having also been on the astronomy tower when it occurred, I am going to take my free instant move to Saint Mungo's as well for counselling. Due to the fact that I have gained +20 points in "Don't Care" because of the tag-along move a few moves back, I am also going to take a lateral reversal through the Leaky Cauldron and end in Diagon.

Purchasing an ice cream cone. Vanilla, no sprinkles.

Ha! You're purchase of ice cream allows me to burrow underground using the Tonks Tunneler.

However, having received:

My Left-Turn-At-Albuquerque is inverted, sending me straight up to the surface in Borgin and Burke's.

With my game-ending leap from the Astronomy Tower averted by CC's sudden but inevitable complication, I purchase a Hangman's Rope to access the Short Drop Dilemma. Thus allowing me to drop down to the Knockturn Docks.

The play of the Sierra card having made the game-ending move of leaping off the Astronomy Tower invalid, due to the installation of nets for vigilance sake, the game-ending move has been shuffled.

Okay, I'm sorry....I've been holding my tongue as long as I could. Seril, did you say your Left-Turn-At-Albuquerque was inverted? Are you sure? Please clarify, was it inverted by choice or was it dealt that way? I know you said you're a novice, so I kind of wanted to give you a heads up on that last move, though, cause if it plays as it stands now....well...you're kind of opening yourself up.

That's all I'll say for now.
