| 394 The crumbling walls and unstable look of these buildings does not fill you with confidence. You are sure that there are better opportunities for shelter only a short distance further to the south. Without stopping you charge on, Pallenten galloping with all her considerable strength, confident that you know what you are doing. The storm is gaining steadily upon you though. Around you the grassland is beginning to flatten and whip in the increasing violence of the wind. The cold sting of icy rain upon your back tells you that you must find cover without delay. Then the wall of rain hits you and you know you have made an error in not finding a haven from the storm earlier. You have no choice but to bring Pallenten to a halt. Further travel southwards must wait until after you have survived the storm, its power impossible to endure in the open. From what you can see there is only a thick stand of trees to your left that might provide any protection at all. Turning Pallenten towards this wood you make your way over. This will have to be good enough.
