Meesei gathered together the soul gems as Ariel and Sabine went off to create the explosive concoctions. Such a task was understandably hazardous, but she trusted in their abilities. She moved the common soul gem to the side, then collected the lesser soul gems and approached Lorag near the campfire. 

"Lorag, I have need of your assistance. I will be working on the skeleton for most of the day, so I need someone else to fill these gems. I would like you to go find Janius after he finishes gathering weapons, then go with him on a hunt. He should know the soul trapping spell." Meesei requested.

Lorag groaned as he brought himself to his feet. "Alright, Alpha, don't let it be said I didn't do my part. Let me see those things." He responded, taking the gems from Meesei. He walked over to the pile of equipment near his bedroll and grabbed one of his empty pouches to place them in. As Meesei returned to her work on the skeleton, Lorag started to search through the cave for Janius. "Hmph, hunting things for their souls. Don't think that's what Hircine had in mind when he said to use all parts of your prey." Lorag muttered to himself with a low chuckle. 

Ahnasha gladly took Fendros' arm as they set off. "Quite the contrary, I think we are both far too overdressed." All things considered, fortune had favored them on the weather. The sky was overcast, so the day was not exactly picturesque, but it did not look like it was going to rain. Glancing behind her at Red Mountain, she could see that there was ash bellowing from its summit, but the wind seemed to be taking it to the south, rather than the east. As long as the wind did not shift, they wouldn't need to worry about an ashstorm. Her mind raced with ideas on what they could do as they walked along towards the city, though honestly, she did not have many ideas. She hoped Fendros would know what he wanted to do, as she would do pretty much anything he wanted. 

After a few minutes of walking, Ahnasha caught a scent in the air that piqued her interest. As they crested a hill, she diverted her attention to the left, towards some brush near the base of a mushroom tree. She grabbed a hold of his shoulder to stop him, but made sure to keep a smile on her face so he wouldn't be concerned. "Hey, hold up a second. Come look at this." She said, moving slowly and cautiously towards the bushes. Making sure not to get too close, she stopped about ten feet away and knelt down to make herself seem smaller. Peering through one of the bushes, she could see the form of a [url=http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140315023257/elderscrolls/images/thumb/9/9d/Bantam_Guar.png/256px-Bantam_Guar.png]Bantam Guar[/url], which had its eyes firmly locked onto them. It was small and skittish, but as long as they did not get too close, it would not run. "I didn't know those lived here. Maybe it isn't native." She commented.
