"I...guess it's better than nothing." Ahnasha said, examining the tracks. She had a hard time believing that Meesei, even while drunk, would have done what Fendros was suggesting, but they were out of options at this point. Once Fendros climbed down, they followed the troll's path through the forest, which was thankfully rather easy to keep up with. The rather heavy creature made deep, distinct tracks and an easy to recognize scent. The trail went on for quite a while, and Ahnasha was worried that they were following a path Meesei had never been on. The strength of the troll's scent would obscure Meesei's, so they would have to follow it to its end to even know if she had been there.

Eventually, they came across the corpse of the troll they had been following. Ahnasha could immediately tell that its hide had been charred by fire, which certainly gave her hope that it had been Meesei who killed it. Sure enough, after searching the area for a few moments, she spotted a single Argonian footprint and once again picked up on Meesei's scent. They were growing closer to finding her, but it had been a few hours already, and it was not going to become any easier. Meesei's path quickly became more erratic as they followed it. She went off in seemingly random directions, only to turn around, then head off in a different one. Ahnasha and Fendros were constantly having to double back on themselves to reacquire her trail, then follow it in a different direction. While they never lost the trail completely, they ended up wasting a lot of time on dead ends. Ahnasha was growing more worried about how much time was passing; it seemed like half the day had already gone by. 

After a while, Ahnasha caught a strange scent in the air. It was not Meesei's, but rather something different...and terrible. It only grew stronger as they followed Meesei's trail until they came to its source: an unassuming patch of ground near a fallen log. Nothing seemed special about it other than the fact that it smelled like a rotting corpse mixed with honey. Ahnasha held her nose as she drew closer, not particularly wanting to take in any more of the offensive scent. When she knelt down beside the log, she noticed a thin, clear film of some sort of sticky looking substance coating the ground. There was absolutely no indication of what it was or how it got there, but one of Meesei's footprints was located directly in the middle of it. 

"Well, this is...wonderful.." Ahnasha commented, coughing as she spoke.
