If you enter the Dwarven Bread inn before going to the dwarven village, there is a dwarf in a room north of the other marked one. He offers you some gems, and if you refuse them he leaves, and you can take a dwarven teleporter scroll off the table. If you return later, or if you go to the village before the inn, there will be a hostile dog named Lar in the room.
Some of the Larians had a bet with the real Lar that they could sneak a 'Lar' character into the game without him noticing.
I thought you could not attack/kill the cat in Aleroth? A couple people left the Aleroth gate open, and either had the cat wander out or a stray orc wander in, leading to a dead or missing cat.
If you kill other cats, the one in Aleroth (that you can 'talk' to) will not turn hostile.
