You whisper the words of the Brotherhood Spell Mind Charm and point your hand at the trooper’s face. Instantly he relaxes and becomes entirely susceptible to your psychic commands. You will him to turn around and close the door to the hut and, as he is obeying your silent order, you mount his horse and escape into the woods.

You keep to the trees and head south in a wide arc around the Eldenoran settlement at Fabri. During your ride through the woodland, you discover the following items in the bags and blanket roll which are attached to the horse’s saddle:

• Sword
• Rope
• Tinderbox
• Blanket
• Bow
• Quiver containing 5 Arrows
• 12 Lune (equivalent to 3 Gold Crowns)
• Spyglass

If you decide to keep any of these items, remember to adjust your Action Chart accordingly.

Shortly before sunset, you emerge from the trees at a place where three trails meet. A wooden signpost propped against a boulder indicates three directions, destinations, and distances:

You are anxious to leave hostile Eldenoran territory as soon as possible and, after checking your map, you set off to the south, towards the Slovian border town of Tenzha.

During your ride, unless you possess Grand Huntmastery, you must eat a Meal or lose 3 ENDURANCE points.

To continue, turn to 343.
