The Persistent Nightmare manages to evade all the spiders and steals the cheese, bringing it back to Aurora. Aurora hides it in a darksteel safe, protected by a Sporcle game: QWERTY Keyboard Pick (Mirror Mode)
Get at least 50% for the safe to open.
Aurora calls a pixie to sprinkle some sleeping dust on Olivia Gloom from above, putting her to Sleep. Aurora then draws a few triangles on Olivia's face (using her laser, set to a mode that doesn't harm but simply leaves green light residue).

Since these games are rather freeform, we don't keep track of mana too heavily. This is a Quick Reply game after all, not a fully fleshed-out RP game. Some people are more destructive than others and just prefer to use a nuke at almost every possible opportunity. Usually, I don't resort to using spells to remove obstacles (if there's another way past it). In this case, since your riddle proved to be a bit too hard for us, I'll use magic just to keep the thread moving, but in general I try not to.
(OK, well, it depends on the scenario. If you ask us to solve a quiz of some sort, then I'd think about solving the quiz. If you ask us to, for example, defeat some hydras, then of course we'll probably cast spells to help us.)
...And as for below, it's up to you whether or not you want to do it in the real world or not...

Aurora looked and looked at the riddle, and decided that the riddle was too hard, so she decides to cast Revoke Existence on the ice, retrieving the cheese. She hides the cheese in a darksteel safe. You just need to do this many star jumps* to unlock the safe.

*In case of confusion, I meant the following:
Start with feet together.
Get your feet apart while in the air.
Land with feet together. (This is all done in a single jump - not the two separate jumps like in the easier jumping jack.)
Well, technically, some people would just do something like casting Return to Dust on the sphere of ice, but I'd usually consider that to be taking the cheap way out...
"What? You're not supposed to eat that!" Aurora hits Luffy with a ♪ to the face to make him spit some cheese out. She gets a Flickerwisp to remove any ill effects on the cheese, then puts the cheese in a darksteel safe again.
And... guess what, you have to get wet this time!
You must stand in a pool of water. The depth of the water is close to your neck level. As usual, foam target is there, 32 cm above your head (from standing in the water as indicated)... and this time, you must touch the target 15 times (same rules as before, don't use your hands or arms to touch it, and you must return to a standing position inside the pool each time). The foam target is also 10 m away from the edge of the pool, so you must go through quite a bit of water to get there.
Since the water is neck-height, you can still stand in it with your face still above the water. Then since the target is 32 cm (12.6 inches) above your head from that point, the suggested solution is to jump straight up to touch it with your head (and if you're a good jumper, it's probably not difficult to do this in water). So you just need someone who doesn't mind being in water with sufficient jumping ability (or another way of reaching the target).
Aurora hides the cheese in a darksteel safe. As usual, you need to touch the hanging foam target... ten times. However, this time it's 1 m (~3' 4") above your head. The room is fairly large (imagine like a high school gym), the target is in the center of the room, and there are 15 gym mats scattered around the floor. Each gym mat is 5 cm (2") thick, and you can stack those up underneath the target to help reach it. As usual, you can't use your hands or arms to touch the target, and you can't use any other objects to help other than the gym mats (and don't use a gym mat as a stick to help reach up - that's not allowed either).
And one last new added rule - you must return to a standing position after each time you touch it. So if you were to do it by standing on your hands and touching it with your feet, you must get back to a normal standing position each time before doing it again.
As I mentioned in the clan thread, this is surprisingly harder than expected - Google didn't help much. This is the closest thing I got (had to get my cousin to take this photo).
Aurora walks into the unoccupied room and gets the cheese and walks out.
And now, Aurora decides to make a rare exception to her own rule - she calls a pixie to carry the cheese to the top of the Mt. Midoriyama structure. You need to climb a 75-foot (~23 m) rope to get to the top (proper harnesses and safety gear are provided).
Aurora calls an army of Merfolk to spray Luffy and his crew with large amounts of cold water, weakening their powers. They grab the cheese and bring it back to Aurora.
She hides it in a darksteel safe protected with a Sporcle game (this time one that doesn't involve listening to music). You need to get at least 40% to open the safe. (Careful - get one wrong and you have to start over.) Quickly! Pick One!
Anyways, she has the cheese now, so she hides the cheese in a darksteel safe as usual. There is a touchscreen nearby, displaying this image. To open the safe, you must first solve the riddle displayed on the screen, then you must touch the foam target that's above your head (still without using your hands or arms or any objects you brought with you... and to make things a bit harder, don't use your tail either, if you have one).
The target starts 30 cm (~1') above your head, but it increases by 1 cm for each second you spend looking at the puzzle (and stops moving when you touch the correct answer).
(Caution: Incorrect input may result in the turrets firing Nerf darts at you.)
With all that done, Aurora decides to just hide it behind The Pit once again to keep things quite simple.
Note: You do not want to touch the laser. If you touch the laser, then... well, you dye.
Also, to make it harder, there's a turret that will fire 1000 Nerf darts at you if your heels are ever more than 15 cm (6") apart (though it deactivates if you fall into the pit).
Flash disabled? Aw... OK, I guess I have to make more quizzes that don't involve listening to things then.
"Back to Google for me..."
Aurora writes down some answers, then waits for verification afterwards.
1. Discotheque - Rosario + Vampire Capu2
2. Honjitsu, Mankai Watashi iro! - Hayate no Gotoku
3. Fields of Hope - Gundam SEED Destiny
4. Shiawase no Iro - Color of Happiness
5. Be Your Girl - Elfen Lied
I would say that having to go through Google and copy+pasting stuff for these is tedious work, but then chances are most people say the same about Aurora's jump requests, so I suppose we're even.
(I suppose the quizzes would be a more appropriate comparison, though Aurora usually sets low targets on these.)
Of course, this one actually requires proof of doing stuff in the real world (hard to enforce this for the jumps).

Aurora places the cheese in a container and places it at the top of this sculpture once again. (Structure is about 3.3 m, or 11 ft tall.)
