Lezard and Steff had inadvertently grown a giant death worm.

All right, they hadn't grown it inadvertently. They'd done that intentionally. What they'd done inadvertently was to give it far too much growth catalyst potion, then allow it to escape Lezard's dorm-room-turned-laboratory.

Now there was a death worm slithering the corridors of Hogwarts, making its way up from the dungeons and roaming the halls at will. Mercifully, it had stopped growing at five feet in length. It was looking for food, to fuel further growth.



(( Wikipedia describes the death worm thusly: "it is reported to look like the intestine of a cow. It is the subject of a number of extraordinary claims by Mongolian locals -- such as the ability of the worm to spew forth sulfuric acid that, on contact, will turn anything it touches yellow and corroded (which would kill a human), and its purported ability to kill at a distance by means of electric discharge." Since you can't die at Hogwarts, this would make for nasty electric shocks or what have you, but wouldn't be fatal. Feel free to NPC the death worm. Attack it, flee from it, get shocked by it -- whatever you like! In the end, if nothing else avails, we're told the shoggies will eat it.

ETA: apparently the electric discharge is, er, rectally emitted ...

ETA again: let's say that if you manage to chop the worm in half, you'll end up with two smaller worms. That way some folks can actually defeat a worm without ending the RP for subsequent threads. :) ))

Londo shook his head, still keeping his attention on the worm. "Fortunately, no. It seems to have decided that we are a bit too troublesome to become a snack for.. whatever that is."

He offered the sword back to her, "I found this beside you, is it yours?"

Elizabeth glanced at the sword, then away. "Yes," she said faintly. "But I really don't trust myself with it. I'll have the house elves bring it around." This would end up not working out so well, since the mun finds the idea of Pickles and Nathan poking at the deathworm with said katana far too amusing. "I'm sure it will be fine," she added.

He could have carried the sword for her, but Londo wasn’t inclined to argue, and the mun wants to see what Nathan and Pickles will do with a sword. “Come, my dear. Let’s get as far from this creature as we can. If the elves can recover your sword later, so much the better.”
