Negotiate with the cloaked figures

From Create Your Own Story

The figures circle close to you, and you watch them warily.

"You're odd prison guards," you chew over this carefully. You've never seen any creatures like this before. "I'm Harry."

One of the figures hisses at you, and you notice a black clawed hand with deadened flesh within the folds of its cloak.

You blink as it hisses, and frown in concentration. You could hear the snake hissing earlier, after all...

• Hiss back at it and attempt to understand what they are saying.
• Try to block out the image of these hideous creatures.
