[CENTER][color=00746b][h2]Bavlorna's Cottage: Rickety Stairs (B4)[/h2][/color][/CENTER] 

Aurora easily remembers that when they fled the Hut the first time around, with the Drunken Bugbear Brutrumukk in tow, she and her friends used the spiral staircase in the Preservation Pool room. Opening the door, she is hit with a gust of swampy wind, and she sees the outside!

This flight of stairs runs along the outside wall of the cottage, with wooden doors at the top and bottom of it. A rickety railing hugs the edge of the staircase, which looms above the foggy lake. A steady droning sound comes from a shadowed corner above the door at the top of the stairs.

Rearden opens the door easily to see this ten-foot-wide balcony running almost the length of the cottage. It is covered from end to end with living frogs, all croaking and ribbit-ing as they hop about amongst themselves. At each end of the balcony, attached to one corner of the cottage just beyond easy reach, is a clothesline draped with patchwork garments. The two lines stretch out over the lake and disappear into the thick fog.
