| 244 You are now feeling very tired. It is not surprising that the arduous journey of the day is beginning to eat away at what remains of your energy. With the foothills of the Krodestaag ahead it is wise that you rest properly before continuing. The gale that has blown down from the north is bitterly cold, the chill in its bluster a cool reminder of your need to find a good campsite quickly. Here on the plains you are within striking distance of the foothills, the trees have thinned to isolated copses, and most of the rolling plain ahead is covered instead in a thick blanket of grass, punctuated every few hundred metres by large outcrops of boulders. A stone's throw from your path is one of these outcrops. Formed of large weathered granite blocks, it lies in a roughly horseshoe shape and will be an excellent shelter from the wind. After tethering Pallenten within its rocky walls, you unfurl your blanket and prepare to make camp.
