You watch with bated breath as the riders pass by the entrance to the hill track and continue along the coast road. You are beginning to suspect that they have disappeared for good when unexpectedly they turn about and come galloping back along the road towards Cape Kabar. When they ride past the hill track without stopping you feel sure that they have decided to call off the chase and return home to their town.

Now that you are confident that the threat has passed, you tell Oriah and the marines to remount their horses. It is time to leave the plateau and continue the long ride south.

Turn to 336.
