Kerry raised her hand, thinking about abilities and resources, "Well your abilities against this animal would include using your cleverness to figure out it's weaknesses...perhaps you can find a small stray animal to feed it, the hippogriff would love that, especially ferretts. Umm, your abilities also include your range of spells that you could use on the beast to calm it, trick it, or somehow make it submissive. As for resources, again food can be used as one. Your wand is a huge resource, as is your mind."
