| 358 With the collar at your neck a constant reminder of your need for haste you leave the shattered wagon at the edge of the trail and ride on towards the Devkraager Tor. Only a quick look at the remains of the wagon is all you need to show that you should not stay long on these narrow paths. The dead bullocks laying at the head of the wagon, butchered by some powerful foe, and the shredded cloth and clothing laying about its mangled wreck are enough to spur you on your way. Luckily the soft earth deadens the sound of Pallenten's hooves as she thunders down the trail, it should not be long before you reach the foothills and the entrance to Stoneholme. Suddenly there is a movement to the right of the trail. A huge, rough hand grabs at Pallenten's halter and wrenches the reins from your grasp. Simultaneously two equally huge shapes rush you from the left, barrelling into Pallenten's side and knocking her to the ground. With the horse dragged down you are pitched headlong into the brush at the side of the trail.
