| rdfs:comment | - Cabin on Chicken Legs is the dwelling place of the Hag (evil fairy/witch) Baba Yaga. Like its name suggests, it is a building (a hut) capable of locomotion by means of very large chicken legs on its underside. The entire functionality of the construct is wholly magical in nature. The hut itself does not have a door, or other means of entry, apparent to whoever approaches it. Baba Yaga itself exits and enters the hut through the chimney, flying on a mortar. However, the hut does have a door, which is normally faced away from anyone approaching the hut. Through the use of a formula, the hut can be made to turn and reveal its entrance. If one considers the chicken legs to be substantially scaled to the hut they are carrying, the hut itself would be high above ground, making access unfeasible

| abstract | - Cabin on Chicken Legs is the dwelling place of the Hag (evil fairy/witch) Baba Yaga. Like its name suggests, it is a building (a hut) capable of locomotion by means of very large chicken legs on its underside. The entire functionality of the construct is wholly magical in nature. The hut itself does not have a door, or other means of entry, apparent to whoever approaches it. Baba Yaga itself exits and enters the hut through the chimney, flying on a mortar. However, the hut does have a door, which is normally faced away from anyone approaching the hut. Through the use of a formula, the hut can be made to turn and reveal its entrance. If one considers the chicken legs to be substantially scaled to the hut they are carrying, the hut itself would be high above ground, making access unfeasible even with the door facing the 'correct' way (unless there's a form of ladder available). Hence, one would have to find a method of making the hut sit down for access. For this, consider using corn as was done in Quest for Glory 4 (this should logically also work to make the hut turn towards you, provided the front is where the door is). Of course, although not supported by mythology associated with it, but a logical conclusion, if one can round the hut faster than the hut can turn away, one can access the door without formula. If one then manages to somehow scale the height difference between the ground and the door, while the hut is still trying to turn away, one can get access to the hut, as the door itself doesn't appear to be secured in any other way beyond that. An entirely different case would be if the door is magically transported across the hut's surface whenever one side is approached. Here, rounding the hut would propably not yield any result, unless one possesses some form of instantaneous movement.
