| 306 The fight with the Hresh is vicious but you stand victorious. With the bodies of the Hordim laying sprawled at your feet you look around frantically for Pallenten and the third Hresh. As first you can see nothing. The trail in both directions is empty bar yourself and the dead warrior, but then you hear the sounds of hooves pounding up the trail from the east. It is Pallenten returning. There is a look of fright and fatigue in her eyes and it takes a moment for you to grab her reins and bring her under control. A quick inspection shows she has a nasty gash on her hindquarters but the third Hresh is nowhere to be seen. Although it would be wise to get away from this place of ambush as soon as possible, you need to rest and tend to Pallenten's wound. Luckily it is not deep and requires nothing more than a clean with some fresh water, however you let her rest for a short time before remounting. The Hreshs' weapons are inferior to your own and they hold no equipment of any value to your quest, the fact that they were here at all gives you further cause for concern. These three must be scouts and you have no doubt this means there will be more in the area. It is time to go. You are eager to leave this place of ambush and Pallenten needs no encouragement to be on her way. Nudging her forward she breaks into a canter, and soon the dead Hresh are left far behind.
