Expertly you guide your horse through the densely packed trees at the centre of this copse. The brigands attempt to follow, but they are poor riders by comparison and they find it impossible to penetrate this wood on horseback.

After a few minutes you hear their leader command them to return to the road. He has lost patience with his men and cannot be bothered to pursue the chase any further. You remain hidden at the middle of the copse and do not emerge until the dust of their horses’ hooves has disappeared beyond the horizon.

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