| Session | Interactions |
|---|---|
| Session 07 - Falling Down | Cassie, Vi & Basil set out in search of the Room of Requirement and this time find it with relative ease - almost as if it was ready to be found. Entering into a seeming Broom Cupboard not too far into the disused section beyond the School Kitchens Cassie thinks hard about 'requiring' a London Cheescake as evience this is the Room of Requirement, thus making one appear. |
| Session 07 - Falling Down | Cassie, Vi & Basil seek to test the Room of Requirement's limitations. Aside from evidence that this is the right place they struggle and fail to make anything of their own choosing manifest. With the exception of a staircase - perhaps to 8.5.03 Eleonora Humblewood's Crypt - which the 8.5.02 Room of Requirement does permit them to conjure. Though possibly for reasons other than those the party intended. |
| Session 07 - Falling Down | Cassie, Vi & Basil start descending a seemingly endless staircase that appeared within the 8.5.02 Room of Requirement. Requiring a faster way down, they lose Basil down a slide that appeared. Catching him, they manifest a landing and Vi tends Basil's wounds as Cassie investigates a door that has appeared |
| Session 07 - Falling Down | Cassie, Vi & Basil open a door partway down the 'endless' staircase in the 8.5.02 Room of Requirement to find just a plain brick wall beyond. A small blue mote of light, (similar in colour to the wraith-like figure that swept towards Basil from the depths beneath the Cold Plant Room) hovers through the wall and towards Basil. As Cassie casts Impervius on Basil the mote, becoming aggressive, fails to find any purchase on Basil's mind |
| Session 07 - Falling Down | Repelled by either or both the mental fortitude of Basil and the Impervius charm of Cassie, a strange mote of blue light in the 8.5.02 Room of Requirement retreats back into the wall from whence it came. The DIADEMs interpret this to be some manifestation of Eleonora Humblewood (dec.) attempting to contact or somehow harm or aid them. |
| Session 07 - Falling Down | Late into the night now, with lessons due to start in a few short hours, Cassie, Vi & Basil give up on reaching the bottom of the staircase and turn back towards the occupied floors of the castle. Cassie wills the stairs to become shorter, which they do, however the 8.5.02 Room of Requirement seems to refuse to permit them to leave yet |
| Session 07 - Falling Down | Whilst underground, and protected by the 8.5.02 Room of Requirement, Cassie, Vi & Basil experience extreme ground tremors as some kind of earthquake or localised seismic event shakes the entire foundations of the School. Held in the 8.5.02 Room of Requirement the DIADEMs suffer no ill effects or injuries from the quake and the room seems to allow them once again to access the broom closet (and exit door) above |
| Session 07 - Falling Down | Returning to ground level after descending into the 8.5.02 Room of Requirement in search of 8.5.03 Eleonora Humblewood's Crypt, Cassie, Vi & Basil force their way out and back into the castle proper. They are greeted by a scene of extraordinary destruction, as an entire collonaded section of the castle has crumbled in the quake. Screams of terror - perhaps even of pain - can be heard coming from the occupied sections of the castle beyond |
| Session 11 - First Year Flyby | Cassie, Vi & Basil meet to discuss the death of Annabelle Featherstone (dec.). Seeking somewhere discrete, they head for the Room of Requirement |
| Session 11 - First Year Flyby | Arriving three abreast, Cassie, Vi & Basil find the Room of Requirement this time accessed via a revolving door of blue, green and grey aura-d panes. Basil steps through and manifests one of the sitting rooms at Mallory Court. The room creates tea and biscuits. |
| Session 11 - First Year Flyby | The Room of Requirement manifests a copy of today's Daily Prophet, which Basil reads to Cassie and Vi: "Ministry Thwarted at Hogsmeade Skinkhole by Strange Blue Mote" |
| Session 11 - First Year Flyby | Cassie, Vi & Basil enter the hole in the ceiling of the round chamber and arrive in another long passage. They follow it for a long time before Cassie thinks to contemplate an exit. With the same instant gratification of the Room of Requirement, a door appears |
| Session 08 - Aftermath | Cassie, Vi & Basil deduce a probable connection between Ancient Magic, the natural magic of the Forbidden Forest, the power of the Hogwarts Kitchen Elves, the plants in the Herbology Greenhouses and Viola Thorne herself. That the area around the Room of Requirement seemed so affected by the seismic event raises the question of whether that may utilise the same ancient magic too |
| Session 08 - Aftermath | Cassie observes the landscape and identifies ancient magical disturbances (if that is what they are) in: The Forbidden Forest (where sparks and lights flare upwards and downwards seemingly at random), the Herbology Greenhouses which are running rampant, the disused wing around the Room of Requirement and towards the School Kitchens and also the 8.4.09 Black Lake which is roiling and rolling as if shaken from below |
| Session 05 - Trouble at the Mine | Cassie sneaks away and meets Shonky, a gruff worker-elf. Shonky advises that one way to access The Humblewood Crypt might be to find the Room of Requirement in just the right place to require a staircase down. |
| Session 06 - Arania Exumai! | Vi & Cassie hit the library in the final week of the first half term. Cassie seeks information on the whereabouts of the Room of Requirement, whilst Vi researches ancient magic. Both also seek any information about Eleonora Humblewood (dec.) or The Humblewood Crypt but find nothing more. |
| Session 06 - Arania Exumai! | Cassie learns that the Room of Requirement last manifest (as a lavatory) some 80 years ago and has not been seen since |
