It had been just a normal day at the Brothsdale inn.  All the regulars were there drinking their pints in the bar downstairs with most of the rooms vacant for the day.  How it had gotten to the point of going up in flames with a large tiger in the middle of it was something the bards would tell but no one would truly believe.<br/><br/>Kat had come in to rest from a full day of travel.  She was looking for just a cool place to rest before setting out again.  There had been an empty table for her to sit at as it was still early in the day.  All of a sudden, there was a disturbance outside as screams could be heard throughout the town.  A voice came from outside, a woman's voice, that demanded "Give us the Felid now or we'll destroy the town!"  As a way to prove their intention, a flask of oil flew through the window and shattered on a nearby table followed by a torch.
