Skidaddling
🚨
"It's working!" Kensley cries out.
But she has spoken too soon. The magic you have activated doesn't open the door instead it sets off a piercing alarm! An enchanted recording of Slumblebore's voice shouts out:
"Intruders! Intruders! Beware, intruders are trying to get into the dungeon! Stop them! Intruders! Intruders!"
Over and over again, the voice of Slumblebore cries out.
"It didn't work! Oh no, oh no we are going to be in so much trouble! Run to the tower!"
You and Kensley dash madly back to the Snakefang House tower, skidding round corners and leaping up stairs three at a time, the magical voice shouting out behind you.
At last, covered in sweat, you make it back undetected. You both run up into the Hedgehog Tower, out though the hillside and don't stop until you are safely inside your Hogger Holes, the door slammed shut behind you.
