"Don't worry, don't worry, I can still help. Let's just hurry and find her so I can get back to not doing anything." Lorag said, grabbing his warhammer. He was not wearing his armor, but he had a leather strap tied across his torso from which he could hang the weapon. 

Ahnasha only used bound weapons, so she decided to write a quick note and leave it by the campfire, just in case Meesei returned while they were away. Once they were, the group headed out toward the nearby river and easily picked up on at least the beginning of her trail. Janius spotted her footprints leading into the water. There was no matching set on the other side, so the group split up for a moment to search up and down both banks of the river for a short distance to see if she had exited at any point nearby. Unfortunately, there was not a hint of where she had gone, either with her scent, or by physical evidence. 

The group reformed by the shore to figure out what to do next. There was no evidence she had exited the water nearby, but that didn't mean she couldn't have exited farther away. "Looks like she decided to go for a swim. No surprise there. Way I see it, she could either be upstream, or downstream. Don't know why she wouldn't be back yet, though. Maybe she is still out cold or something?" Lorag observed. 

"Perhaps we should split up? One group can go upstream, and the other downstream. We should be able to find where she exited the water or, if we're lucky, find her swimming around." Ahnasha suggested.

Meesei's nose had finally started to somewhat ignore her own scent, but the bugs flying around her were a constant reminder that it was definitely still there. She followed her own trail for a while until it did something rather strange. She had expected it to go into the river at some point, at which point she would swim until she found it again, but instead, it actually moved [i]away[/i] from the river to the left at nearly a right angle near the base of a large tree. At first, she thought that perhaps she had wandered into the woods for a while, then came back to the river, but after following the trail for a while, she realized that it was heading straight off into the woods and would likely not intersect the river she had been following again. If she was concerned before, she was starting to become seriously worried now. There were a few rivers in the area, and from what it seemed, the river she had woken up in what not actually the river that flowed by camp. This meant she had gone quite a long way from camp, and the longer her trail, the more likely it was that it would be interrupted at some point. It was highly unlikely that she would be separated from her pack permanently, but there was a very real possibility she could be lost for a few days, as accidentally heading off in the wrong direction would serve to increase the distance between herself and her pack. Letting out a deep breath, she continued on, hoping that wouldn't be the case.
