You sleep soundly and then rise an hour after dawn, clear-headed and eager to continue your ride. The morning news from the south is that the mountain highway to Rhem is impassable; an avalanche has destroyed all traces of the road near Mount Navalyn, and it will be many weeks before the rubble is cleared and the road rebuilt. This leaves you with only one choice—you must take the valley road through Amory and the Forest of Eula.

You gather together your equipment and set off without delay. If you are to reach Amory by sunset, you will need to ride at great speed and without a break.
