| 238 In the relative safety of the passageway you study the movement of the beast. As you watch a frown spreads across your brow. This Dragon's behaviour is unusual and deeply concerning. It is true you know little about Dragons and their ways, but you assume they must have many common behaviours with other beasts. This beast does not act rationally. As it walks around the perimeter of the cavern it swings its long neck from side to side, as if listening to some unheard melody. Other animals you have seen acting in this way. Caged animals such as in the markets of Maenum, but they were mad, imprisoned so long that they have lost all reason and hope. Could the Dragon Windhammer be mad? The thought chills you to the bone. His lifelong captivity within the cavern may have driven him over the centuries from an animal of high intelligence to an erratic, evil and very dangerous beast. You must assume this Dragon will be capable of anything. Continuing to swing its long head and neck from side to side, it appears to be completely engrossed in its mindgame. It is oblivious to its surroundings or any impending danger. Oblivious until you, leaning forward to get a better look at the serpents movements, fall head first onto the cavern floor.
