### 141

You have not ridden far when a storm cloud breaks directly overhead and torrential rain crashes down. Within minutes, the dry and dusty highway is transformed into a quagmire. It will be impossible to set up camp in this storm, so you resolve to continue to ride all night in the hope that the storm will soon pass. During your night ride you must eat a Meal or lose 3 ENDURANCE points.

By morning the rain has ceased, but you and your men are now very tired from the ordeal.

Turn to 253.
