| 268 For what seems like hours the storm thunders down upon the defenceless grasslands. Caught in your barely adequate shelter you stand soaked to the skin, Pallenten no less affected by the cold icy tempest that rages about you. But then, as quickly as it descended, it ends. With little warning the storm moves on southwards, taking with it frequent flashes of lightning and deafening drum rolls of thunder. In the quiet that follows the storm's passing it takes a few moments to extricate yourself from the shelter. Standing stiffly in the cool air, you coax Pallenten out from under the rock shelf and try and shake some movement into stiff, sore limbs. Looking about, you see that the storm has lasted long enough that it is now almost dark, the thin red glow of an approaching dusk prominent to the west.
| Do you wish to stay here at the boulder outcrop for the night? If so, turn to section 288. If you would rather try and find better shelter further to the south-west, then you should turn to section 307.
