### 288

Without uttering a word, the knight points to the woods behind you and returns to the watchtower. He disappears inside and bolts the door.

The forest here is very thick and the undergrowth is a tangle of weeds and briars. It will be impossible to enter the wood on horseback. You realize you will have to abandon your mount and continue on foot.

Turn to 244.
