Once it was open, they found themselves in a dense forest glen, broad-leafed trees surrounding them on every side and a babbling stream cutting through the clearing. Sunlight dappled the forest floor, and a pair of spotted deer raised their heads to watch them, curious and unafraid.
Ash stepped through the stony mound they'd exited. He took in the forest surroundings with one smooth, practiced gaze, and turned to Grimalkin. "There are several trows watching us from the bushes. Are they going to be a problem?"
Apparently, trows were squat, ugly fey who lived underground, but apart from the deer, they appeared to be alone. Grimalkin yawned and scratched behind an ear.
"Leanansidhes groundskeepers," he said offhandedly. "Nothing to worry about. If you hear feet moving around the cabin at night, it is probably them. Or the brownies."

He unsheathes his claws, but makes no move to attack.

The snarling fey did. It pounced, hissing and tearing.
"Of course not. This way, human." Tail up, Grimalkin trotted across the clearing, hopped the stream, and disappeared midjump.

He screeches in pain and bites his attacker. However, he's not a warrior nor a hunter, and has very minimal fighting experience.

The other fey look on in sadistic amusement.
They crossed the glen, passing very close to the deer, who still didnt run away, and hopped over the little stream.
As soon as her feet left the ground, it was possible to feel a tingle of magic, like she was jumping through an invisible barrier. When she landed, she was no longer staring at empty forest but an enormous, two-story lodge with a veranda that circled the entire upper deck and smoke writhing from the chimney. The front of it stood on stilts, a good twenty-something feet off the ground, and gave the front deck a fantastic view of the whole clearing.

He tries his best to fight back, clawing, hissing, and biting.

His attacker does the same.
"Thats Leanansidhe," Ash said, sounding amused. "She could have glamoured the outside to look like a rundown cabin instead of hiding the whole thing, but I dont think thats her style." He gazed up at the looming structure and frowned. "I hear music."
