DM: The Fire Pelt Cat Attacks!

Suddenly, while you are all deciding on how to proceed, from around the thick wall of thistles that opens into a narrow corridor to the east, a snarling large cat comes bounding. She is as tall as a leopard, but with orange and red mottled fur. Her face has been augmented with what appears to be natural chalk, to give her a white snout. She snarls viciously at you all, ready to engage.

At the same time a goblin voice could be heard echoing from the thickets around.

"Dakaakhuur! Druuc! Akhan!"

At the command, the fire pelt cat charges and pounces on the nearest party member - Arao. Taken by surprise the dragonborn paladin falls prone to the feline's attack who in turns pounces away once its attack is dealt.
