### 318

The rain beats down relentlessly as you ride the featureless highway to Tharro. Thunder rumbles over the western hills like the growl of Doomwolves stalking their prey. Gradually the muddy road descends into a wide valley and a track joins it from the east. A battered signpost at the junction points along the track. It says:

TOPHAM--9 MILES

If you wish to change direction and ride east, turn to 249.

If you choose to continue your ride north to Tharro, turn to 280.
