House of the Dragon Trivia

1. Daemon Targaryen attacks the army of Prince Drahar, 'The Crabfeeder', with his dragon Caraxes. Where does Drahar's army retreat to?

From Quiz "House of the Dragon" S1:E3 "Second of His Name"

Answer: Caves

With the backing of the Triarchy, Drahar's army was fortified on the beach of Bloodstone against the armies of Corlys Velaryon and Daemon Targaryen. While Daemon and Caraxes were able to eliminate some of their enemies with dragon fire, most of Drahar's men were able to retreat into the caves. The caves provided shelter against the fire of Caraxes and it would be difficult for Corlys and Daemon's armies to launch a frontal assault.
