You hurry away from the farm and head due north, a course that takes you across open fields and through an old abandoned vineyard. The rain has ceased during the night and the land is now bathed with rays of warm autumn sunlight that filter down through gaps in the clouds. A mile beyond the vineyard you catch sight of a sunken highway, partially hidden by hedgerows. Columns of Eldenoran army wagons are moving along this paved highway in both directions. You magnify your vision and you see that the wagons heading southeast, towards the River Storn, are heavily laden with supplies. The wagons that travel in the opposite direction, towards Duadon, are mostly empty.

If you wish to go to the highway and attempt to hitch a ride to Duadon aboard one of the returning wagons, turn to 247.

If you choose instead to wait until the highway is empty and then follow it towards Duadon on foot, turn to 196.
