There were ledges along the inside of the courtyard but only the Dragon could really use them, being the only creature besides the Warlock capable of any sort of flight.There was a Barbican (sp?) with a portcullis that could be lowered that proved to be the center of most of the "cinematic" action. I found out later that the party (while I was heeding nature's call) concocted a plan to trap the Dragon by pushing it into the barbican and then dropping the portcullis so that it was trapped and cornered. This would've worked very well, except that the dragon used Cloud of Darkness to obscure the area and retreat around the corner.After that there were several rounds of very cool movement stuff going on where both sides sorta jabbed and feinted at one another through the darkness until the party remembered to put a light source in there. So it was cool, but seriously cut into the DPR.</blockquote>
