It was finally time for the third task. This was the task that would determine the overall winner. The points thus far were nice, but all they did was give the Champion a head start on the next task. But anyone could win it now, even if they had accumulated the least points so far!
It was just after dinner, and the Champions tried to eat something before the task, though it was a little difficult with their nerves. There would only be one winner after today and they would have 1,000 Galleons and the Dodecawizard Cup.
The Champions were told to bring all the items they accumulated thus far, plus their wand, which included the key, flag, and sapphire. No one used their flag in the last task, which was an option, so they all still had their flag.
The third task took place in the Quidditch Stadium, just like the last one, which was closed to the public for the last week while everything got set up. Yet again, the Ministry put spells on it so anyone who decided to fly overhead wouldn't be able to see what was going on, though they probably wouldn't have seen too much anyway.
The Champions were bought to a tent outside the stadium just like last time. They could hear everyone passing by and going into the stadium. Once the sounds died down - likely because everyone was already inside - Tam Page came in to give them their final instructions.
"Congratulations on your first two tasks, everyone! This is the one that counts, though. You are to retrieve the Dodecawizard Cup. That might sound like an easy instruction, but there will be obstacles in your path. First and foremost, an invisible maze! I understand that all of you decided to make the potion in the last task, but this time it is mandatory in order to see the maze. Then, all you need to do is go through it!" Tam explained to the Champions.
She looked around at all their faces. They were pretty focused and determined, after having gone through the previous two tasks. Many looked nervous before the first one, but now they were far more determined than nervous overall.
"You can take your wand, the key, the wand, and the sapphire with you in the task. All can help you at various parts." It was a lot to carry by now, but the key and sapphire would fit in their pockets easily enough, and then they could use their wand in one hand, and carry the flag in the other. It was just the fabric of the flag, no pole attached.
"Those who have a higher score will get a head start. Silvia and Ares, come with me, please. And good luck, everyone!" Tam motioned to Silvia and Ares to follow her. They wouldn't start too far apart from one another.
Once each student got into the Quidditch Stadium, they saw 12 tables and cauldrons set up like a classroom in three rows of four. That was where they started. There was a large space on the left of the stadium, which was likely where the maze was, though no one could see it.
The maze was set up by invisible forcefields, which were slightly opaque after the potion was taken. It also started 20 ft in the air, so they would have to find a way up there.
When they were in the maze, they wouldn't be able to see anything inside it (including obstacles and the Dodecawizard Cup) unless they were directly in front of it. So they couldn't see them through the forcefield to the next section over. But they could see each other from a distance, as good as that did, and the audience could see them. They could also see the ground below them, so it felt like they were walking on glass, suspended in the air.
(( First step - Make the potion. Same as last time. Three posts - preparing the ingredients, mixing the ingredients, drinking the potion.
Second step - Go through the maze and find the Dodecawizard Cup.))
((After finishing your potion, please say which entrance your character will enter the maze - There is left, middle, or right.))
((Yet again there is an anti-accio spell, so they are not able to summon items.))
((As this is a maze, you will need to say if you are going left, right, or forward, depending on your options. Please note that if you reach a dead end and go back to the last fork in the road, you are now facing a different direction so left will not be the same left as before.))
((Reminder: The maze is 20 ft in the air, so your character will have to find a way up there without summoning any items to help them.))
((If you are unsuccessful at defeating an obstacle, you can move on after getting injured. But it will still be on the map so if someone else crosses the same path, they will have to defeat it as well.
If you are successful at defeating an obstacle, it will no longer be on the map.))
((You will have 20 HP.
You can heal yourself once per post for 1 HP as long as you're not at the same place as an obstacle. So if you lose against it, move away from it, then heal yourself.))
((There will not be a hint on how you can use the flag in the maze, but there may be for the key and sapphire.))
((As it is around sunset, it will be a little dark, but not like in the first task where it was midnight and impossible to see.))
((Potion:
3 diricawl feathers (ground)
1 diricawl feather (whole)
2 bilberries (crushed)
1 mistletoe berry
Bring to a boil. Add 3 ground diricawl feathers. Stir clockwise for 1 minute. Add 1 diricawl feather. Let sit for 2 minutes. Stir counter-clockwise for 30 seconds. Add 2 crushed bilberries. Stir clockwise for 1 minute. The potion should now be orange. Add 1 mistletoe berry. Let sit for 3 minutes. The potion should now be purple with orange glitter.))
