EASTER EGG HUNT

It's a bright, sunny morning already, perfect for the festivities to come. The house elves have been very hard at work before students gather for the annual Easter egg hunt, hiding eggs all over campus.

The staff and house elves insist all students must have a good, hearty breakfast before the hunt begins. The picnic tables have been set out in the gardens, and the pastel decorations are quaint and endearing if you have an eye for cute. They might be a little saccharine for some students' tastes.

Mr. Oakes has a special gift for the students as well. He has baskets full of shimmering eggs, that he's magically filled with glitter and charmed to explode upon impact. He's cordoned off an area a little out of the way where students can throw eggs at one another, but does warn that the glitter sticks. Good news: you won't rub off much on other people. Bad news: it takes effort to get off. Either way, it's a good way to pass the time until the hunt.

When it's time for the hunt, the prize is presented: a massive chick plush. It's huge. Getting it home is going to be a pain. Still, if you find the largest number of eggs, it's all yours! There will be a count done to see which house found the most eggs as well, but the only prize is bragging rights.

Competitors line up, and everyone is given a basket laced with a ribbon matching their house's color. Finally, Thorn blows a whistle, loosing them on the gardens and fields!

HOW THIS WORKS

At 9:00 AM, breakfast is available out in the gardens. It's a crisp 55°F.

At 10:30 AM, students are released for the Easter egg hunt! The range of the hunt exends along all trails and public areas outside, but never more than 3' from the trail.

There are dyed hardboiled eggs, plastic eggs full of candy, and wrapped chocolates hidden all around campus. Each item counts as one for the sake of the contest.

Hunters have one hour to search for prizes!

At the end of the hour, the participants will have their prizes counted up and the winner will be awarded the chick. Congratulations?

As with last year, characters can team up and add their egg totals together in hopes of winning the chick plush. You can only have a maximum of five (5) people in a group. Your character can't join multiple groups; once you've made a group, you're set, so choose carefully.

You can ask to re-roll two of your characters, i.e. each player can only ask for two re-rolls. The re-roll is not guaranteed to be higher than the original roll.

Staff will be on hand, scattered around campus, to punish misbehavior.

There is a cordoned-off area for throwing glitter eggs at one another. If you enter the area (i.e. post your character there) you may get glitter bombed. The glitter filled eggs cannot be stolen, nor can they be thrown outside the limits of the area set aside for this.
