It is evident that there is little shelter to be found within the confines of the town. Kal Murda is a desolation of collapsed buildings and debris littered streets, none of which could provide any protection from the storm to come. Looking to the north you see that you have only a small amount of time before the storm hits, and as you ponder the dark towers of cloud you consider for a moment the chance that Pallenten might be able to simply outrun the storm front. It is a possibility that you discount just as quickly. If you are to find shelter it will have to be found somewhere to the west.
Quickly you nudge Pallenten forward, guiding her around piles of broken stone as you make for the western gate. Around you the winds build quickly, pushing loose debris around the ruined buildings as the storm tests the strength of what remains of the town. It is as you make for the gates that you begin to sense something different here, and it is not happy with your intrusion.
There have been many times that you have felt the unwanted attention of others watching you. Never have you felt it as keenly as now. The streets are deserted but a growing malice and resentment rises about you with every bluster of the wind and within the winds you can feel the cold touch of something grasping at you. And yet there is nothing there. You cannot tell if it is the reputation of the village that is playing with your mind, or a real expression of frustration and betrayal that manifests itself within the walls, but it is enough for you to urge Pallenten on all the faster.
Some fifty metres before the western gates you find a well. It sits within a small market square to the left of the road and appears in good order. If it has survived the years of neglect that have passed since Kal Murda was abandoned it may still provide water.

Do you wish to take this opportunity to water Pallenten? If you wish to do so turn to section 454. If you wish to leave the town as soon as possible turn to section 462.
