Convince the creature that you're here on official business with the Abbot: <span class="mu-s">7</span>

You reach for the bag that was given to you by the strange beast when you left Castle Ravenloft - the one containing the enchanted parchment Strahd left you with as a 'parting gift'.
"Here," you say. "I came here from Castle Ravenloft. I was sent by Strahd von Zarovich. This sack was given to me by his trusted confidant. It contained the note which detailed business I have with the Abbot - sadly the note was lost on the way..."
The strange lizard-cat woman snatches the bag from your hand and inspects it. Strahd's servant, who gave this sack to you, was a strange humanoid beast, just like her; it's a stretch, but you're hoping maybe she will be able to recognize him by the smell of the bag.
"Yes, yes, yes!" she says. "I know him! You met Cyrus! Ahh I wondered where he went... that's... so... rich!!" She reaches into the bag and seems disappointing when she finds nothing inside.
"Yes exactly!" you say. "I did meet Cyrus, and he sent me here to see the Abbot. I'm glad you know him."
"That BASTARD! I always hated him!" She throws the bag at your face - you are startled, but you manage to catch it. "He judged me!"
"Oh. Well, I..."
"You judge me too!" She grabs the fur on the left side of her scalp and starts ripping it out. "He sent you here to INSULT me didn't he?"
"No, no! I told you, I have official business with the Abbot... I need to see him!"
She growls, bares her teeth, and grabs your arm. Clearly she doesn't believe you; further, you seem to have made her hostile. Certain options are now more difficult. What do you do?
