| 336 From a distance the boulder formation does not appear to be an effective shelter. You are reasonably sure that a number of deserted huts and cabins lay just a short gallop further to the west. With Pallenten you will probably be able to reach at least one of them before the full force of the storm hits. Urging Pallenten ever faster you make your way quickly forward, and soon you see on the edge of a darkening horizon the outline of a small supply hut that will make a good retreat from the storm. Unfortunately you never reach it. Almost as soon as you see the hut the storm overtakes you. Like a black wall it descends on the unprotected earth, first as a blast of icily cold wind, then as a torrent of rain and a hammering onslaught of sleet and hail. Trapped in the unrelenting power of the storm you try and make headway, hoping to reach the safety of the small hut, but you cannot see what is in front of you and are caught by surprise when Pallenten pitches forward and throws you heavily to the ground.
| Throw one dice. If you throw a two or less turn to section 349. If you throw any other number turn to section 414.
