Re: The moathouse, again
Adventurers scatter in all directions. Some (Rondo, Sir Luthien, and Amathaon) heading for the tunnel, others (Ben, Wonnilon, Rolf) sprint down the track towards Hommlett, Wonnilon diving off into the bushes after a hundred yards or so, and the rest (Arek, Corvus, Kalador, Ronalt) take cover as best they can near the gate.
Ronalt bravely peers into the courtyard. [Private to Ronalt de Gault: In the shadows inside the building you see something very large and very dark moving about. Maybe a black dragon? Doesn't seem to be coming out, yet, but it's very much awake and aware of the PCs presence nearby.]
Amathaon and Rondo manage, just, to keep up with Luthien, burdened as he is by his heavy armour. [Private to Amathaon Chalkbreaker; Rondo Fiddlestick; Sir Luthien: "It's a black," he gasped as he ran.
"They breath acid don't they?"]
