run and fly?

[DK]

Can you run while you're fliyng? It looks like a silly question, but I was wondering if you can do a double move action while flying and if you can "run", that is x3 or x4 move, while flying.

I was thinking about it because of the vampire ability to trasform in gas when it reaches 0 HP. Its fly move it's quite low and characters could easily follow it!

Thanks!

According to the FAQ, creatures can use double moves and run while flying. However, the vampire's Gaseous Form ability is based upon the spell of the same name, and the spell description specifies that a creature in this form cannot run.

This does mean that it's fairly easy to keep up with a creature in gaseous form. However, bear in mind that the vampire can slip through even the smallest gap, so it should be able to take a more direct route than its pursuers.

And

If reduced to 0 hit points in combat, it automatically assumes gaseous form and attempts to escape. It must reach its coffin home within 2 hours or be utterly destroyed. (It can travel up to nine miles in 2 hours.) Any additional damage dealt to a vampire forced into gaseous form has no effect
