The Storms of Chai

Joe Dever

93

You mount your horse and ride out into the pouring rain. The tracks follow the paved road until you reach the northern perimeter of the village. Here they leave the highway and veer due east towards the Nagah Forest. A narrow woodsman’s trail snakes its way through the Chai pines and the tracks can clearly be seen in its muddy surface. Your Sixth Sense screams a warning that this dense forest harbours an evil presence. You rein in your horse and scan the surrounding trees. At once you detect an ambush has been prepared and several evil creatures are lying in wait for you on the trail ahead.

If you wish to turn around and leave the forest, go to 218.

If you decide to continue along the trail, knowing that to do so will trigger the ambush, turn to 262.
