You grab the dog around the neck and force its head back with your knee, severing its spine. However, you exacerbate your own wound in the process. Looking around, you find that the other hounds also lie dead. An aquaintance of yours gives you his shirt to wrap around your leg, and the group begins to continue.

Before leaving, you notice that the dog bears an unmarked collar. You rip it off and toss it into the underbrush.

You've just inflicted $3.50 of property damage!

You struggle to walk the rest of the way, but eventually come upon the citadel nonetheless. There is a high stone wall encircling the grounds. The castle itself, however, reaches very close to your position.
