| 290 From the battlements you have a clear view of the northern horizon. In this direction the plains have disappeared under a solid wall of black cloud, an enormous stormfront is moving directly towards you, heralding its progress with bright flashes of lightning and a growing wind that brings with it the cold, wet smell of rain. Seeing the advance of the storm is not at first of great concern, the toll bridge will provide a warm, dry haven from anything the weather may throw at you. It is the twelve riders galloping directly towards you that makes you stand up and take notice. Although they are still a good twenty minutes ride from your position, you can see the two orderly rows of mounted Kalborean soldiers have the same idea as you. They wish to make the toll bridge their shelter from the storm as well. There is no way that you can remain at the bridge and stay undiscovered, by strength of numbers they will have the toll bridge as their shelter, you will have to find another and quickly. Making your way back to where you have tethered Pallenten you set her at a gallop, through the eastern entrance, across the span of the old stone bridge and then out through the western tower and the plains beyond. Without looking back you set Pallenten on a course directly for the Devkraager Tor and hope that the Kalboreans are just as worried about the approaching storm as you are.
