《Escape The Night - Season 3》Episode 4, Part 4 - Black Magic

Stacy and Thomas followed Alex and Lauren outside. The wizard was waiting for them, with his wolves snarling at them, hungry for their dinner. Suddenly, Alex and Lauren were thrown back inside, and the door slammed shut behind them.
"Ah, my spell worked. No one can help you but yourselves. Your first clue is on the table. You must find the three keys to let you back into the castle. You know what happens to the loser," the wizard explained. Thomas and Stacy walked to the small table and picked up their first note.
"Begin."
The clues were drawings of different areas of the garden.
My first clue is a picture of a bird bath, so I start running for it cause its on the other side of the garden.
My clue is a drawing of a gazebo, and I go for it, but I have no clue exactly where this key is.
Stacy was looking for her clue as Thomas made it to the bird bath.
I can see the key, its right at the bottom of this bird bath, and it looks like its about a meter deep, so I try to grab this key, and its freezing cold.
Thomas rolled up his sleeve and dunked his hand into the ice cold water. He just managed to grab the key and pull it out. He looked at the clue attached to it, an image of a rose bush. He pocketed the key and ran towards the rose bush as Stacy desperately looked for her final clue. She started ripping up floorboards and finally found her key and clue. It was an image of a bird feeder, and she ran towards it whilst pocketing her key.
Thomas was attempting to get his key without hurting himself on the thorns. He managed to grab his key as Stacy found her's in the bird seed. They both looked at their final clues. For Thomas, it was an image of the shed. For Stacy, it was a picture of the greenhouse. They both ran towards their final key and tore the places apart looking for them.

At this point, I am just tearing this place apart and looking for this key anywhere. And then, I find it, along with a note.
Thomas ran out of the shed and bolted towards the door. He unlocked the door and ran in, and was greeted by Alex and Lauren.
I hear the door shut, and I know I'm dead. I had a good run, and I can't help thinking about the irony of the Hound Master being killed by wolves.
"Now, my pets, you can feast on that one," the wizard pointed to Stacy, and they ran for her. She stood there, waiting for them to come. They pounced on her and started ripping her to shreds. Screams were heard throughout that castle until they were eventually replaced by wolves howls, then silence.
Alex and Lauren lead a slightly traumatised Thomas to the remaining guests. When he arrived, the guests breathed a sigh of relief. The totem Zoe won lit up.
"What happened? We heard screams," Joey asked.
"We got locked out of the castle and we had to find keys to unlock it. I found my keys first, and Stacy lost. You guys remember what Jesse said, she got eaten by the wolves. But I found this note," Thomas said.
"What does it say?" Dan asked. Thomas opened the note.
Dear guests,
Thank you for releasing my spirit. I thought I should explain what happens when we power up the totems. Our remaining life force goes into those totems, and we can finally be at peace. I can't thank you enough. I'm sorry your friend had to die for me. I wish you all luck.
- Jesse Wellens
The group looked around at each other, then they looked at the totem tower, fear and sadness filling their hearts, but also determination to survive.
