Mounting Pallenten you head off northwards in pursuit of the band of creatures. The fact they appear to be loaded down with something heavy will slow them considerably. Your hope is that you will at least be able to get a glimpse of who these prints belong to. Such information will be very useful as you progress on your journey. Forewarned is, as the ancients have written, forearmed.
To the north the horizon has become an ominous wall of cloud and rain. Punctuated by bright flashes of lightning, the distant rumble of thunder puts the storm probably an hour from your position. If you are to find the Hordim you will need to do it quickly. Following the prints is an easy task though, the heavily shod creatures leave deep impressions in the soft earth of the bank. Carefully you follow the course of the stream and as you do so find hard evidence that the object they are dragging is definitely human. A clear impression of a hand in the mud confirms this as you track the group.
For a moment you bring Pallenten to a halt and consider your need to continue. Even though these Hordim are obviously up to no good, the more you travel to the north the greater the doubt grows that following these prints is a good idea. The stream has veered to the north-east and you are now travelling away from Stoneholme. Regardless of the fate of their captive you know that if you do not find the creatures within the next ten minutes you will have to turn back.
