 Quickly you cut the old piece of rope from the bucket and retrieve your own from Pallenten's saddle pack. It is a simple matter to thread one of its ends through a series of holes in the buckets upper edge and tie it firmly. Against a backdrop of rolling thunder you lower the bucket into the well and draw up a full load of water. It is fresh and cool and after having some yourself give over the remainder for Pallenten to drink.
The great horse drinks all that you give her, then waits as you untie your rope and lay the bucket against the lip of the well. It is as you are laying down the bucket that the glimmer of something metallic catches your eye. It looks like a medallion, attached with a heavy chain and jammed into the stone wall of the well just above the waterline. If you are not mistaken it has the dull shine of tarnished silver.

If you would like to climb down into the well and retrieve the medallion turn to section 437. If you believe that there is no time and you should move on quickly, turn to section 455.
