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. Feargus wrote: Lateral moves are legal, but left-side lateral shunts invoke a reversal.

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.

Ha! You're purchase of ice cream allows me to burrow underground using the Tonks Tunneler. However, having received: Calan wrote: an owl to Seril with a false message for a misdirection on his next turn. 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.
