There are many similar streams further to the west and Pallenten does not yet look like she needs to rest. With a slight flick of her reins you urge her forward and she trots lightly through the shallow watercourse, and then up through the undergrowth on the other bank of the stream. Once free of the low brush Pallenten builds her pace and you are soon again galloping smoothly towards the distant mountains.
With Pallenten set on her course you take the time to ponder the beauty of the plains. Although mostly flat, the terrain is cut by small streams and gentle hills that do nothing to hinder your speed or necessitate a change in direction. There are not many trees nor features of any kind that break up the serene calm of the gently waving grasses, and as you ride you find your mind wandering to things other than the dangerous nature of your quest. In this almost trance-like state you speed onwards. Suddenly, from the corner of your eye, you see the momentary reflection of something metallic to your left. This is followed quickly by the desperate cry of someone in great pain.

Do you wish to investigate? If you do, turn to section 270. If you believe there is too much of a chance that this is a trap and you wish to ride on, turn to section 313.
