In the seclusion of a wooded dell nestled a small stone cottage, fashioned so cunningly that it seemed to rise, organic, from the earth, its walls an earthen brown, and its roof more like to the bark of a tree than to tiles. Hidden from the casual view of prying eyes, still, [Character] had spotted it even so whilst hunting for game. Eldritch sounds emanated from within, whilst on occasion there burst forth from the chimney a plume of strange-colored smoke. Curious, on autiously approaching, [Character] peered in through the smoky pane of a window-pane. Within, he could just make out the figure of an elf, but one more like to a dwarf in appearance, small, grey of beard, and hunched over a bench. Upon this, and indeed, strewn throughout what looked to be a workshop, were strange and unfamiliar apparatus, one piece of which, set in the chimney breast, was the source of the belching smoke. Happening to glance up, the elf caught a glimpse of [Character]’s face at the window, and started. An unfortunate reaction, as it caused him to drop the phial he had been holding, which promptly burst into liquid flames that ran swiftly along the bench, threatening to engulf any number of objects, including one whose metal wings seemed to flap in desperate attempt to escape. And indeed, it seemed that surely the entire house would go up in flames unless something were done, and done swiftly.
