| 343 As you ride further on towards the Devkraager Tor the trees become thicker and the ground more hilly. Before you the trail ascends, a series of rises ahead that build higher and higher towards the base of the mountains proper. As the forest closes in about you the way forward becomes obscured, and you find that to advance you will have to use the many animal and wagon trails that criss-cross this area. Hopefully some of these trails will lead ultimately to the base of the Devkraager Tor and Stoneholme. After a good hour's ride you find yourself at an intersection of a number of different trails in a small clearing in the trees. Before you lay the foothills. Pallenten comes to a halt in the middle of the clearing and will go no further. You try to coax her on but she will not move. Dismounting, you walk to the front of the great horse and look into her eyes. Immediately you see that she is unsure of her next move, it is as if someone is whispering in her ears, and commanding her to do something she does not wish to do. Stepping back from Pallenten you think for a moment as to what could be wrong and then you remember Tak Lovar's words.
