[OOC no I do not want to try to hit Guilliame, I just don't want to hold onto the cat any longer so I throw it at Guilliame's feet.]

"

[OOC: Having thrown the cat at Guilliame's feet, does Dora move back to the desk or move somewhere different? As we are technically still in combat, then Dora would still have her movement. Once I know this, the cat will get its turn.]

I draw my scimitar and adopt a defensive stance against the cat.

[OOC: Dora drawing her scimitar is a free object interaction, she could still move if she wants to, but I will presume she doesn't.]

[OOC: Round 1

Initiative Order: 

Dora: 17
Cat: 6
Guilliame: 5

For its action, the cat attempts to free itself from the sheet. This is a Strength check against a DC of 10.

Cat's Strength check: 4

This is a fail, which means the cat is still caught up in the sheet.

It is now Guilliame's turn.

Crouch down and put my hand out and say softly: "***** ***** *****. Come here."

[OOC: Make another Animal Handling check at Disadvantage because of the frantic state the cat is in. This will be Guilliame's Move.]

OCC The ***** were pusssy pusssy pusssy but spelt correctly.

[OOC are you saying that pussy gets censored?]

[OOC: This is effectively a contest between Guilliame's Animal Handling check and the cat's Charisma check.

 Cat's Charisma check: 6

This is a fail on the cat's part, so Guilliame has been successful.

]

At Guilliame's words, the cat, surprisingly, calms down.

[OOC: We can drop out of combat now, if you like.]

[OOC yes, happy to drop out of combat.]

Now that Guiliiame has the cat under control, I sheathe my scimitar and turn back to my search of the desk.

[OOC: As Dora's previous attempt to investigate the desk was interrupted, please roll the Investigation check again.]

Dora returns to the desk and continues looking through its contents. Meanwhile, Guilliame has a sheet-covered cat to contend with.

"Is everything alright up there?" comes a shouted query from the sheriff downstairs.

"The peril seems to be have averted."

Scratch the cat under the chin while gently releasing it from the sheet.

For Dora:

[OOC: Dora's search of the desk and drawers is thorough and, by the time she is finished, she is beginning to think that perhaps Saladin Brassman was nothing more that what she thought he was before this evening's watch began: a public servant who is very meticulous and fastidious in his habits.

However, there is the matter of the written material on his desk, which she cannot read (see here for a reminder about languages and literacy in this setting). Though she is certain that the majority of the documents have been written by the same person because of the similarities of the way in which the cuneiform glyphs have been written.]

For Guilliame:

 With Guilliame's help, the cat gets out from under the sheet. It looks around for a moment to where Dora is rifling through the desk drawers and then it turn back to Guilliame and begins rubbing its head and neck up against his hand.

 [OOC: Based on his experience with animals, Guilliame is a little surprised by the cat's actions. He half expected it to make a bolt for the stairs once it had been freed from the sheet.]

Once again, the sheriff calls from down below: "Is everything all right up there?"

Holding up a wad of paper,  "Ho Guilliame, when you've finished with your new friend perhaps you can check these documents, thanks."

Yell "All good so far Sheriff, Guilliame is just doing a final check."
