As you ride further on towards the Devkraager Tor the trees become thicker and the ground more hilly. Before you the trail ascends, a series of rises ahead that build higher and higher towards the base of the mountain proper. As the forest closes in about you the way forward becomes obscured, and you find that to advance you have to use the many animal and wagon trails that criss-cross the woodland. Although you have some knowledge of this region you have never journeyed this close to the mountain itself. Carefully you guide Pallenten through the trees, hopeful that some of these trails will lead ultimately to the base of the Devkraager Tor and Stoneholme.
After a good hour's ride you find yourself at an intersection of a number of different trails that come together within a small clearing in the trees. Before you lay the foothills of the Krodestaag mountains, and rising high into the clouds is the clear snow-capped outline of the Devkraager Tor. Although you attempt to urge her on Pallenten comes to a halt in the middle of the clearing and will go no further. You try to coax her on but she will not move. Dismounting, you stand before the great horse and look into her eyes. Immediately you sense that she is unsure of her next move. It is as if someone is whispering in her ear, commanding her to do something she does not wish to do. Stepping back from Pallenten you think for a moment as to what could be wrong, and then you remember the Tak Lovar's words.
