The ground around the entrance to the mine is well churned, obviously someone, or something, is using the old diggings as a home. For a moment you consider the abundance of tracks and the strange smells that emanate from the darkness of the mine. Perhaps later you might return to this place and determine what is here, but now will not be the time. Flicking Pallenten's reins you set her again on a track southwards. Ahead the sky is clear, the terrain practically unbroken except for a few trees. As Pallenten gallops you check your horizons for any possible danger and see nothing. To the north a storm is building. By nightfall you will have to find shelter.
