I ended up going downstairs brandishing a chair leg. I never found my landlord. As soon as I got onto the second floor landing, there was a flurry of barking, and then the dalmatians came running up from the first floor, baring their teeth. I jumped back onto the stairwell and slammed the door behind me. I can still hear them down there, barking and growling.
I think I could take down a man, if I had to. I don't think I can take down two dogs. Plus that cat is probably still downstairs, waiting. I need a new plan.
I think I smell smoke. That can't be good.
