[CENTER][color=00746b][h2]Bavlorna's Cottage: Study (B10)[/h2][/color][/CENTER] 

As Aurora grumbles about the situation, wooden creaking can be heard. Should anyone look towards the sound, they would see part of the wooden wall of the cottage now looks like a frowning face. That doesn't impede Aurora's and Rearden's efforts to open the cabinet. 

Aurora was able to find the lock to pick underneath the moss, and discern the weak points of the cabinet itself. Thanks to Rearden, Aurora was able to improvise lockpicks from the sewing pins stuck into the pincushions. Using multiple pins in each hand, Aurora is able to unlock the cabinet and open it! 

Aurora is able to see that there are two shelves. The bottom shelf has three potions, with labels written in Elvish. Aurora is able to read the Elvish labels on each bottle. The first potion is labeled with "Shrink", the second potion is labeled as "Grow", and the third potion is labeled as "Vanish". 

The topmost shelf holds...a stuffed, taxidermied cat? The cat shifts, shambles, and comes alive as Aurora and the party takes in the sight. 

"[color=0072bc]Mrrrroooooowwww...[/color]" The cat gives a low angry growl at Aurora and the party, before arching its back and hissing at the group. It's clear that this cat is hostile to the party, and raised its claw ready to attack!

Zavakri widened her eyes, her irises now resembling gold clock faces, and she exclaims, "Cor! Stand back, Aurora!" 

[hider=OOC]Roll Initiative, and take your turn! ^_^

As a note: I do not think that this is a battle that's going to last long, just looking at the Cat's HP. [/hider]
