Hello !
During my adventures I have found something I think is not exactly right.
That I continue to be “mounted” after successfully Lloyds beacon return, but my four-legged friend does not go with me (sadly!).
Here is the log that made me think so:

The Inn
This inn is quite lavishly furnished. The walls are made of a rich
walnut wood and the floor is covered with a fine, hand made red carpet.
Comfortable chairs rest behind a large table in one corner while the
reception desk rests in another. A large chandelier made of elegant
crystals hangs overhead providing the room with light. Several pictures
hang on the wall above the desk. Sounds of laughter and music can be
heard from the north.

===== LOG END =====
So, the solution I suggest is either A) make mounts go with us when we beacon back (desirable!), or B) dismount us automatically when we beacon back (acceptable, but worse than A).
PS. “You courageously charge into the room and slice the Hailmaster!”
May I also suggest removing “room” word from that message as well? Because it is a ‘room’ only technically, not a good idea to reveal insides, it kills a feeling that we’re living in a magical world where is no servers, ip-addresses and telnets.
PS2: Also, I noticed, mounts disappers after some time, without any message. Is there a reason why they should not be permanent while we ride them and disappear after some time we dismount them? Sounds logical to me.
So.. any chance we can get animate dead mounts we can ride?
… or mounts that grant us some special benefits, like waterbreath from sea horse or fly from roc…
