The First Challenge! by Florence Olivers & DiAnna Diaz
Okay, teams! Your first challenge is to escape unscathed through the Haunted School! IC, the team who completes the task in the shortest time will be declared the winners. Each team will be let into the first challenge separately, and only when the room is vacated will the next team be granted entry (i.e. only one team will be completing each stage the challenge at any one time).If you have any questions you may post them here, but otherwise, let the challenge begin!

Already feeling challenged.. by Francesca Wolseithcrafte
This may seem a silly question, but what is the structure for posting within this challenge?My assumption is that each room must be completed before the team moves onto the next room, but that it is not necessarily the case that each member has to post in each room? And, although IC, we would be waiting for the previous team to move on, clearly we can all start posting at the same time.
I only ask as I have more ideas for some of the latter rooms than I do the first one, but I suppose I just bide my time until my team has made it there?

Also, would the boggart in the first room get confused and shift into the fears of other people as well?

if my memory is correct... by Derry Four
I don't claim to be an authority on the subject of boggarts, but I think it changes to the fear of whoever is closest. So if your character gets nearer than whoever it was previously frightening - either by you moving up or them moving back - it should change to your fear.

Another question by The Thorntons, et al
So wait... When does each group move from one room to another? When everyone has attended? Or when someone has completed the task?

Boggarts by DiAnna Diaz
The boggart will behave as all boggarts do, and I think Derry is right, that if the creature is distracted by another person, it will attempt to change into their fear, instead. Use the books or lexicon for reference.

Goal achieved. by DiAnna Diaz
Assume normal posting rules and rules of fuzzy time apply. Hence, you are welcome to post in the latter tasks first, so long as you don't contradict anything that happened in the earlier tasks, whether or not it has been written yet.Posting at all tasks is not necessary. You certainly can if you want to, but it is a big ask to post all characters in all teams at all stages of the challenge, but if you just want to pick one or two then that is fine.
I would recommend (though the Headmistress may contradict me if she chooses) that posting order is not so strict in the challenges, and is more similar to the format of Quidditch games, so that team members do not always have to wait to reply to the same person each time.

That would be a judgement call. You can essentially post where you like whenever you like. Your team will have to decide whether they prefer to write a more detailed thread at one task, and write it to completion, or to focus on writing shorter threads at each different task. IC, your team moves on when they complete the challenge.
