TACTICS
During Combat Zorka tries to avoid combat if at all possible, but she uses her spell-like abilities to hinder her attackers until she can safely flee, targeting opponents with deep slumber or pain strike. She casts break on their weapons, and uses major image to create the illusion of a more fearsome enemy for foes to face.
Morale If reduced to 20 hit points or fewer, Zorka flees to her hidey-hole, casting summon swarm to cover her retreat.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Hidey-Hole (Su) When a kikimora chooses a house to inhabit, she can create an extradimensional space by scrawling a sigil on a wall, baseboard, cupboard, or semipermanent object (like a stove). This sigil serves as the entrance to the kikimora’s tiny domain, where she can live within the house without being detected. Only the kikimora can enter this hidey-hole. Anytime after designating a hidey-hole, the kikimora can transport herself and up to 50 pounds of objects to the hidey-hole as a standard action, as long as she is in the same room as the sigil. The kikimora can exit the hidey-hole in the same way, appearing in the closest empty square to the sigil. Any objects left within the hidey-hole remain there when the kikimora exits the space, even if she removes the sigil and places it in another location. While inside the hidey-hole, the kikimora can see what is going on outside of the space through a special sensor, as if the kikimora were standing where her sigil is placed. As a result, mundane objects placed in front of the sigil can block the kikimora’s sight from the hidey-hole.
Zorka has scrawled her sigil in rooms throughout the Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga, allowing her to enter and exit her hidey-hole from any of the Dancing Hut’s configurations. In effect, Zorka has access to every room within the Dancing Hut, even those rooms currently inaccessible because of the hut’s physical location. Because multiple sigils provide access to Zorka’s hidey-hole, removing one of the sigils has no effect on the hidey-hole or any creatures inside it unless all of the sigils within the Dancing Hut are removed.
