"Get back into the hut!" Zorka calls out so loudly from the area near the table near the front door that even those outside can her her above the sounds of battle. "The hut will take care of them!"
She is standing next to the table with a bowl containing a single speckled brown hen's egg. She is reaching for the egg.
If no immediate actions change the damage done by the giants, here is the initiative order for round 2.
Zorka seems unperturbed by the changes to the room. "The hut sometimes makes you earn your way out," is all she offers as to the current situation. Then she vanishes.
As the group exchanges cautious conversation, the stooped figure with the broom reappears to the southwest of the cauldron. Any who think this figure is Baba Yaga are immediately doubtful of that possibility when ze sees the creature from the front. The figure has the torso of an old woman, but the head looks like a bird with a long pointed beak that curves up at the front, horns like a goat, ears like a donkey, clawed hands, and bird's feet.
She glares at all before saying, "You are all trespassing on the mistress's home! Explain yourselves for face my wrath!" She waves her broom in what she apparently thinks is a threat. "I can make your stay most unpleasant! And you won't be taking the house anywhere unless I allow it!"
These three recognize the figure as a fey called a kikimora. Kikimoras are house spirits who torment those with whom they live unless the poor folk cater to and cajole them. They delight in stressing homeowners by using illusion magic to make the house look much filthier than it actually is; their favored illusions are those of scuttling vermin.

Special Qualities:
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 other permanent object (such as 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 nearest 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.
