@Halpo133 - What spell would we use to stun the rat? We don't actually have Stupefy from the looks of it. Petrificus Totalus? Also, which would be faster - that or the Leg-Locker Curse?

You'd be using Petrificus Totalus. And they're about the same as far as cast time. At your current level you don't have any spells that take significiantly longer than others. So there's no point to questions about which is faster. At all.

How long does it take for the caster to break the spell? The equivalent of a Finite?

Yes. It's a cast of cast spell, room is sealed. Cast another spell, room is unsealed. It takes however long it takes for the spell to end the sealing to be cast.
 
Hmmm... not sure what to do. Maybe...

1. Attempt to stun.
2. If we fail, cast Magic Missile for a guaranteed hit and possible partial stun due to the physical force.
3. Attempt to stun again while moving to give chase.

Alternatively...

1. Cast Magic Missile, get a guaranteed hit and possible partial stun.
2. Go for a total stun then, while moving to make chase as needed.
 
For containment, the seal room is better than just using locking spell then, since its potentially possible that say Malfoy might know finite or somesuch, but only Pettigrew can unseal the room since its a 6th year spell.

A more general question? Can anyone unseal the room with the spell? Or is there some penalty if the sealer and unsealer are different casters?

Sorry for all the questions btw. :)

Peter is a Death Eater (which means Riddle has probably tortured him for fun and profit at one point or another) so his pain tolerance may be enough not to be meaningfully impaired by Magic Missile

Anyone can. Just like anyone can counter a stunning spell, or a petrification spell, and so on. I can't think of any spell in the Potterverse off the top of my head that requires the caster to counter it. So long as you know the/a counter for it, it can be done.

He's also been living the comfortable life as a kept rat for the last 10 years. Even if he did have a higher pain tolerance from before, it's probably faded a lot since then.

It might physically knock him over though? GM said it "just causes pain and hits with force". In his rat form it probably won't take all that much to knock him from his feet. A minor blow that he would barely feel might still allow us to catch up since he is flung around the floor from the force due to being a small rat? At which point he would either have to accept that, or transform into human form which is presumably not jostled by such blows (in other words, revealing himself).
 
Yeah, i think MM might be the wisest choice. Can we roll concentration to make them hit him the opposite direction he is running to?

Maybe, to be on the safe side, go for sealing the room before another stun.
 
@Halpo133 seeing as how my questions could of been overlooked I figured I'd tag you and quote them.

Anyway quick question in regards to the skills. What exactly does a level 66/100 equate to for DADA? Because I understand that the gamer is a ridiculously op power set but being an absolute DADA master after say 3 months is bound to get Harry attention he probably doesn't want.

Also traits. Is the cap of 20 for his total stat? Or would Harry still be able to grind for bonus stats? So he'd have say Strength: 20 (48) or however many he finishes with? What sort of negative modifiers would clumsy and hot tempered give us and what circumstances would they actually show up? The positive traits that give +1 stat per level, is that per character level or per trait level bought? (Sort of dumb question but I'd rather clarification) Do you already have possible animagus forms picked or would we be able to vote on them? For a magical version of an animal would it be in the same general species like lizard (reptile) -> dragon (reptile) or could we swap from say lizard to Phoenix?

You've mentioned rituals in one of your posts, can't remember off the top of my head but would the soul gems amplify any possible returns from rituals?

This is all I can think of for clarification at the moment but woo I think that's a decent first post for this site?

Also something I thought of after posting that. Which trait wins out in the case of bonus stat point per level or a hard cap of 20 per stat?
 
Having thought on it, I think I'll stick with sealing the compartment. Out of all the initial spells we could cast, I think it has the best chance given there isn't enough of a difference in casting time for the GM to care about it affecting a roll.

In our favor is that the spell affects the entire room, rather than needing to be aimed. It just has to be cast inside the room. (even if it does need to be aimed, the door is definitely bigger than a rat) Because of that, we're rolling purely against Wormtail's speed at attempting to get out.

Wormtail will be obstructed by Draco and his goons. While he can go underfoot, I imagine Draco is likely stomping one of his feet given he's ranting and raving, which will likely give him pause as he decides how best to go around the hazard. Even if not, he still has to figure out the best path through. As such, he should have a number of negative modifiers to his escape. He also hasn't had time to build up much speed yet, which I hope will make it harder for him to get out.

I would be so very amused if all our planning is for naught and Draco Malfoy takes out Pettigrew with a well aimed kick. "Ick, a rat. Worse, a Weasley rat! *thump*" And then he has to ride the hero train to the good alignment, because he will be on record as having defeated the Death Eater that betrayed the Potters.

No matter, homomorphus the Body.

In any case, Peter dies and we did nothing, just asked to put it on the ground.

Can't wait till we get good, and then can start making our own spells, taking the auto-aiming from the Magic Missile, and plugging it into other spells.

Hey guys, finally decided to try out a new omake. This follows my last one, so be sure to read that one first. Also, I tried to go through for errors, but family health issues has left me rather stressed right now, and I just couldn't get the will to bother too much. Luckily, I've realized that writing this little story has cheered me up quite a bit, so there is that. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy! :)

Previous - Next

Hermione Granger entered the Gryffindor Common Room with a spring in her step while humming a jaunty tune. She'd made a perfect score on her paper for Potions, leaving her feeling as though the day simply couldn't be any better.

And then she saw Harry Potter.

And then she saw what Harry Potter was doing.

"Harry… I just… Why? Why are you doing this? I get that you can do some rather, uh, uncommon things thanks to your Gamer ability. I get how that same ability lets you do something as crazy as talk to animals. But what in the world are you doing now?" Hermione, finished with her exasperated rant, just looked at Harry. Though she had asked what he was currently doing, she suddenly realized that she did not actually know if she wanted the answer.

Harry, surprised by both her upbeat entrance and her sudden change in mood, answered. "Oh, hey Hermione. What's got you so happy? And what do you mean what am I doing? I'm just talking to my new friend here. In fact, she'd love to talk with you, since she's pretty interested in knowledge as well. I figure the two of you would get along like leaves on a tree!"

Hermione, happy to make new friends –especially friends interested in learning!-, couldn't help but realize there was a problem.

"Harry, that's a small potted tree." Maybe if she walked away now, she could simply forget the entire encounter and simply continue on with her pleasant humming and skipping over the thought of a good grade.

"Hey! I'll have you know that she is a potted Beech Tree, thank you," Harry exclaimed, indignantly. Turning to the tree, he spoke. "Don't worry, she didn't know any better."

Hermione just stood there, frozen over her sudden realization. "No…"

"Huh? 'No' what?"

"Harry Potter, I can accept the idea that some strange ability lets you talk to animals. Its magic, there's no explaining it. But this? How can you talk to a plant of all things? How does that even slightly make sense!?"

Harry looked at her, confused. "Uh, it's just like the other ability. It's magic, how else can I expla-"

Hermione suddenly turned and started stomping to the door in a huff. "You know what? Never mind, I don't even care."

After she left, Harry turned to the small Beech tree. "Huh? Oh, don't feel bad. She's normally not like this. In fact, I bet that in no time at all she'll have turned a new leaf!"

"Ugh, shut up Harry," the aggravated tree replied.

And also, with any attack spells rather than Homomorphus, we'd have to deal with Ron getting rather aggravated that we're blasting his pet.

So once we trap the rat, the question is whether we want to risk having Peter managing to mug someone for their wand fast enough or whether we're risking getting attacked by Ron before we disable Peter and turn him human.

OR, just grab the rat and "ID Create"

Ron would even help catch Scabbers in that case since there's no spells flying around.
