No sir. Until just a moment ago it was full of water. I'm guessing I've got you to thank for getting rid of that. Although it was my only source of sustainance. I hope you can get us out of here! *Smirks* Yes you do. *Realising the man isn't going to be of much used to him he reads the parchment again* *Suddenly smiles and quickly goes over to the door and stares at the strange lock again* *Wonders if there is something in the cave that needs to be placed in the lock* *Walks back to the hole and goes down it* Lumos! *The light from his wand covers the vast cave as he kneels down searching the floor* *Puts his hand om something cold and slimey* *Wondering if this is the missing piece of the puzzle he grabs a handful, puts it in his pocket and begins to climb the wall back into the room with the man* *Walks over to the door and puts the slimey stuff into the strange lock hoping that this is the answer to the clue on the parchment and the door will open*

*He gets up from the rock and puts his hand on Rodolphus' back.*
Believe me, I've tried putting pretty much anything I could find in that hole.
Not that there's much in here besides rock and dirt...

~~Zero Quinn~~~~The ghost waves him off as he leaves the room onto his next challenge.~~ ~~As he passes into the corridor, the entrance from the room of ghosts closes behind him, leaving the place quite darkened.~~ ~~Running water can be heard and felt trickling around his feet.~~ ~~The corridor comes to an abrupt end, turning 90 degrees upwards and an exit can be seen some metres up.~~ *Is left in the dim light as the door closes behind him, and takes notice of the sound of water dribbling just before his toes notice the cold and wet. Groaning, Zero stops walking and looks to his feet, shaking his head at the water lapping at the tops of his expensive and tasteful shoes.* Dragon's Hide isn't cheap...*Nothing can be done about the shoes now, and he continues to trudge on toward his next challenge. Worry fills him as he recalls the ghosts words about facing what's in the next room, and his imagination begins to run wild. Anything could be waiting, lurking, and Zero holds his wand at the ready.* *Not before too long he comes to an abrupt halt, the corridor has ended. Dim light from above catches his eye, and he tilts his head upward, black locks of hair falling away from his pale handsome face. Above he can see an exit, but nothing to aid him in his climb up.* Hmm...*Absentmindedly a slender hand flutters to chin, and softly strokes as he ponders a moment over his options. A Hover Charm just might do the trick, it's not like he has to float up very high, about five feet or so. Fortunately for Zero, he's quite tall, and to add another five feet he could reach the exit with his hands, and possibly pull himself up.* No...no...no*He tells himself, not confident in that idea. Ever so slowly his thoughts of escape slip into thoughts of Sebastian, and how upset he is with Severus Snape for signing him up for this bloody task, and ruining his shoes.* *Angered now, Zero decides to stick with his original plan, and go for it. It's not like he won't have some time to figure it out if that route doesn't work. Quietly, aiming his wand upon himself, he performs the Hover Charm upon himself and is instantly floating upward. With every few feet he rises, his excitement grows with it, is confidence growing once again. Almost to the top, Zero places his wand between his teeth, and reaches out, grunting with the strain, and his finger tips catch the edge of the exit? another platform?*

<He nods with a slight air of patronising respect as Lucretia emerges from the Labyrinth first.> Well done. You are first out. Join me young one, we will watch the rest of the games together. Your master is still inside. What do you think to that? *is completely surprised that she is really out of the maze and bows low to the Dark Lord, dizzy from confusion to be so near him* *afraid her voice will fail her she clears her throat* "I think you have given me an easier task than Rodolphus, as I am still a student, and I thank you for that!"

~~Severus Snape~~~~The little muggle girl holds her hands together to her chest as she nervously follows the man.~~ ~~He is being quite mysterious, but she doesn't have much choice if she doesn't want to stay in that cold room.~~ ~~Snape's passage leads to a a fairly large room.~~ ~~Ahead of him is wall of earth and rock with no other visible means of escape.~~ ~~On a rack attached to a wall is a man, a long time prisoner of Voldemort who had been drafted in for use in the labyrinth.~~ ~~He was clearly weakened and tired, not much use in his current state.~~ *Attempts to look up at the new arrivals as Snape enters, but his head drops and he coughs.* *Enters the room, hearing the patter of the little girl's feet behind him. The second he enters the room he stops in his tracks, the sight of a man hanging on a rack grabbing his full attention.* *His brows raise as he assess the situation. There is no one else in the room with the man, and his state is obviously weakened most considerably. Severus can see there is not exit in this chamber, this doesn't bother him just yet, the way out will show itself clearly in due course.* *The black eyes of the Headmaster find the broken man again, and he moves closer, wand at the ready. It could be a trick, Severus knows not, the little girl was certainly a surprise to find.* You there... What is this room?

~~The exit leads down another narrow passageway into a large round room.~~
~~The room is empty.~~
~~As Zero steps into it, the rock opening behind him closes up.~~
~~No sooner has the wall closed behind him, a shackle appears and binds one of his wrists to the wall.~~
~~Another passageway opens and Erupttat emerges.~~

Do not underestimate yourself. The tasks given have been fairly balanced. You have done well.

*He approaches Zero, takes grasp of his wrist and checks the tightness of the shackle.*
You may be here for some time. This shackle will not be unlocked by any magic. Only its key will do it.
When the other player arrives you will find out where it is.
*He grunts and nods, before slowly walking back towards the passage he came in through.*

What is this room? *He realises that he is being addressed and coughs again before fulfilling his duty in the labyrinth.* This one is fairly straight forward. That wall there is quite weak, weak enough to knock down with a bit of force. *Stopping to cough for a moment again.* Problem is that if you knock it down, the ceiling will come down with it. I wouldn't much like to be here when that happens.

*Glances about the room, toward the mentioned wall and ceiling specifically, and back to the man on the rack. Obviously he wouldn't want to be here when the ceiling caves in, it would be certain death indeed. Again, he wonders if he's to be everyone's savior within this maze.*
*Without another word he moves to the broken man on the rack, and points his wand not to the old worn looking wood holding the man prisoner, but to the ceiling instead. Severus' cold black eyes hold an intense gaze to the injured victim as he recites an incantation for a spell meant to harden an object.*
Duro.
*Moving swiftly away from the man, Severus aims his wand to the weakened wall. He has no use of the Reductor Curse, which would have done the job nicely, and now he resorts to a Blasting Curse.*
Deprimo!

~~Severus Snape~~
~~Snape's spell hardens the ceiling holding it firmly.~~
~~His second spell cracks the earthen wall, a small section where it hit falling away, leaving a small gap.~~
~~Through the gap can be seen the other half of the room, empty but with an open passageway leading on to the next room. The ceiling there is reinforced enough to hold, should the wall fall.~~
~~The little girl shudders as she fears that the room is about to fall on her.~~

*He nods understandingly.*
Best leave me here, I'll only slow you down.
Chances are the Dark Lord will have me retrieved anyway. I'm sure he has more use for me elsewhere. If not, death could be sweet release.

This shackle will not be unlocked by any magic. Only its key will do it. When the other player arrives you will find out where it is. *He grunts and nods, before slowly walking back towards the passage he came in through.* *Enters a large round room, happy that there aren't any ghosts in this room, in fact it is entirely empty. Slightly relieved no one is in the room, Zero is about to continue further when a shackle has suddenly appeared around his wrist, binding him to a wall. His eyes widen as he looks to the shackle, and before he can even blink another wall opens up, and the hideously scarred being he saw upon entering the maze nears him.* *The most powerful feeling in Zero's body is to get away from the man, not allow the beast to touch him, but he fights it, and holds a stiff posture while the shackle is assessed.* *Listening to Eruptatt, Zero drops his eyes to the shackle again, growing upset that he has to wait for the key to present itself. Zero isn't the most patient of wizard's, and he's also noticed how filthy his clothing has become from traipsing about the labyrinth. When he looks up again, he sees the beast has left, and he chuckles nervously to himself, thinking at least he can clean himself up some.* *Aiming his wand at his clothing he performs a scourgifying charm upon himself, and feels a bit better as most of the dust and grime disappear from his person. Now all he has to do is wait, mumbles to himself.* Hurry up, and wait, Zero.*Sighing heavily, he tugs on the chain holding him to the wall, and shakes his head. Stuck here for Merlin only knows how long.* Brilliant...
