| 316 You can't go back, it is simply too far to go, too much time wasted. Without hesitation you charge into the depths of the forest that border the quarry and push your way northwards. There is a chance that you will cross another path leading to the west, and perhaps have better luck at finding a way to Stoneholme. The forest proves to be a deep, gloomy world of hidden dangers and furtive shadows. Most of the trees are just starting to lose their leaves, the cool of the day a reminder that the snows of winter are only weeks away. The undergrowth however, is thick and uncompromisingly difficult to negotiate. It takes considerable effort to make any headway and more than once you are forced to draw your sword and hack a path through the clinging greenery. Your efforts are rewarded though. One hour of hard effort sees you break out onto another trail. It heads roughly to the west and will be a lot easier than trudging through the forest. Turning to follow the path you can see the mountains ahead, there is a good chance that this trail will afford you better luck. After settling your pack securely on your shoulders you continue westwards.
