((uh, what actually happens if you get stunned? Can you continue to cast spells? I would have thought that rather unlikely…)) Nevermind…
Apparently he’d also stunned Chika due to her failing, like the Ravenclaw boy before her, to successfully cast a shield charm. Unfortunately, this was a bad thing for Ferris, for at that moment the ground beneath him began to shake sickeningly; it was obvious that back-up was preferable at this point. Slowly, and with dread in his heart, Ferris turned in the direction of those regular threatening snorting noises.
Holy crap. Professor Halifirien hadn’t been joking. There was a bloody great minotaur stomping toward him, the ground shaking with every move it made. Its horns were huge, and its eyes belied not a shred of humanity. Ferris panicked then. He was going to die, stampeded to death by a half-human bull. Spells were fired by his fellow students, but poor Ferris just stood there, frozen in fear. As the massive creature continued to bear menacingly down on him, though, an unlikely spell came into Ferris’ head. No doubt the great beast was somehow magically resistant – its thick hide would probably deflect most minor charms and hexes, but this didn’t involve casting a spell at the minotaur itself.
“Descendo!” he found himself saying, pointing at a patch of floor directly in front of him that appeared to be of a different colour to the rest of the floor boards. With luck, that part of the floor would descend, sending the frightening beast to fall well out of reach of Ferris.
All his hard work, his miraculously victorious match with a fricking minotaur, and still the other students were out to get him. Sometimes, just sometimes, maybe Ferris was right in thinking that people enjoyed picking on him. Still, he should have expected this from a Slytherin. His hand still trembling after the shock of facing a murderous half-human, half cow, Ferris lifted his wand and attempted to cast a shield charm to protect himself from the oncoming stunner.

Phugsius raised an eyebrow as Ferris successfully raised a Shield against his spell. Well now, this was interesting, it wasn't too often he met someone who could do that.
Phugsius decided it was time to get away from this situation. He rolled behind the hole that was now in the floor and sent another spell at Ferris.
"Stupefy!"
[dice=20]
He quickly aimed his wand at the ground as the stunning spell flew in Ferris' direction.
"Ascendo!"
[dice=20]
After attempting to raise the floor again and put a nice minotaur wall between him and everyone else he ducked around a corner and began heading in the direction of from which the minotaur came. That would be where the center was.[rand=530813477467955379976265599573674011978751414328009896056600697311]

ooc: Kran, you didn't try blocking the stunning spell so you will get hit by that but clever spellwork nonetheless.
ic: The Armor's spell slammed into Kran's chest, but if the enchanted metal could show emotion at all then its surprise at seeing Kran cast a spell back at it would've been evident. It dropped its crossbow and attempted to bring its shield to bear, but metal is slow to move and the automaton reacted too slowly. As the spell struck it square in the helmet, the entire suit gave a mighty quiver and the empty armor collapsed into pieces on the floor.
It wouldn't be causing any more problems for anybody.

Ryo was so slow in entering. So much seemed to happen so fast it made his head spin. He sped off in the labyrinth.
After much running around, he found a few of the students dueling. Being the snake he was he shot at Chika, who's back was turned.
"Stupefy!" [dice=20]
Hoping it would hit, he readied himself and... he lost his train of thought as the sound of some half-cow-something bellowed beneath him. As he jumped over the hole and cast "Ascendo! [dice=20]"[rand=82662307185445582761823929117452472113622612898132585657457961721]

(OOC: Sorry, don't want to mod my post since I'm not sure if that affects rolls. I want to clarify since my last sentence was written in such haste... Ryo waited until he got some distance from the hole before raising the floor.)
FYI from Sylphy: In my experience, editing a post doesn't change the roll, unless you actually re-roll.
Oh grate another spell was flying at her Chika shouted " Protego" trying to protect herself.[dice=20] [rand=5130876500068262580231779297747200993519472374360117783491138127305]
Oh god oh god oh god. They hated him. All of them. Not content with missing the first time, the black haired Slytherin shot at Ferris again. Ferris hastily attempted another shield charm, trying to prevent himself from being hit.
[dice=20]
As soon as he had done so, however, a second bolt of light headed his way, this time in the form of a Hufflepuff's revenge. So much for remaining invisible. If Ferris survived this onslaught, he'd have to start running for it; all these attacks were starting to cause him to hyperventilate. A second shield charm was cast, but Ferris was finding it harder and harder to keep this up.
[dice=20]
It was only after he had cast protego for what seemed like the tenth time already that he realised that the Slytherin boy from earlier was trying something else, something new. He was trying to raise the floor again! Ferris flushed bright pink. Wasn't that against the rules? Weren't they only permitted to use two spells when duelling each other? If he had been any braver Ferris would have protested; if he had been more cowardly, he would have called for Professor Halifirien. As it was, it didn't matter - Phugsius' spell had failed. Gulping in relief, the Gryffindor hared off down the corridor, just as another Slytherin came rushing in the opposite direction. This, new, guy also tried to raise Ferris' makeshift trapdoor.
What was it with Slytherins wanting to loose minotaurs on everyone? Several corners later, Ferris found himself blissfully alone. He slowed down, and began to meander the corridors of the labyrinth cautiously.[rand=27905101479580991233782823627519465755273538654857601801459990669]

The Minotaur's eyes flashed with surprise when one of the males managed send a fiery, red spell its way and it didn't have time to put on the brakes. The stunning spell hit it dead-on in the chest, but the creature shook it off and continued its headlong charge. The Minotaur was so focused on getting its meaty hands on those little children that it didn't hear the low rumbling noise beneath it and it bellowed in surprise as it fell through the stone tiles.
It crashed into the floor below, and staggered to its feet as it tried to figure out what exactly had happened. However in its confusion it detected one scent trying to head back toward its domain and it roared out its rage as it jumped up to the hole it created. Grabbing the edges with its sizable hands, the creature looked angrily after the retreating form of Phugius. Eyes going red, the Minotaur bellowed so loud that it might hurt the hearing of those around.
[dice=20]
And tried to grab Phugius with one hand as it used the other to pull itself out of the crater.
