Mithadan's Post:

As they approached the River Tunnel, Mithadan heard shouting from the North. Peering into the Main Cave, he saw a number of guards enter from the direction of the Locks. A second group came through the gap in the cavern wall near the Front Prison Entrance. They moved rapidly toward the South seeking to reach the River Tunnel; too late. The remainder of the rescue party streamed through the mouth of that passage, racing toward the ships. A few Elves held the rear against a small band of guards who had followed the teams retreating from the West side of the caverns.

Mithadan looked towards Bird, who had returned to her dragon form. Their eyes met for a moment and the Shapechanger grinned in a toothsome fashion. She ambled off in the direction of the remaining skirmish. Mithadan leaned heavily against the wall waiting his turn to exit the field of battle. After a moment, he straightened himself with a grimace and followed Piosenniel to the tunnel. He reached under his tunic as he walked, then wiped his hand against the wall as he passed, leaving behind a streak of red.
