Maui picks up the downed pugwampi by the scruff of the neck and drags it into the forest away from the stench of the horses and in the direction the attackers came from.
"Taniwha! Kia hongi atu!"
Taniwha pads up to the dead creature and begins to sniff it and then sniff around the ground for traces of the same scent. Maui prays to Tane to guide his companion's senses.
Maui looks over to Marcus. "If Taniwha finds te smell, he will be faster than following tracks with te eyes."
The large cat however walks in circles and returns to the destroyed wagons. It seems the aura of ill luck shadows the creatures even beyond death.
"Pokokohua koe!" Maui curses.

Taniwha tries to pick up scent; DC 10 if I understand correctly?

Marcus scans the ground near him. He ignores the Druid and his companion at first, but at the assertion of the felines speed superiority, the Ranger lifts his eyes from the ground and fixes them on the Druid.
Not everything in life is a competition of speed. Given the smell of those horses, it's little wonder your friend can't find the scent. However...
The Ranger's eyes turn back to the ground before him and a smile crosses his face.
What we need here isn't speed. What we need here is accuracy. And this track is about as a fresh as they come.
He looks up into the brush and toward the denser part of things.
I can follow these, at least for a while. If it gets too dense to follow them, I'll be more than happy if your companion can pick up their scent. As one who survives by it...
Marcus stands up and brushes his hands across his pants turning his look to the druid.
You still have much to learn about the concept of teamwork.
He smiles at the Druid before he turns and calls out to the others.
There are tracks here that I can follow. If we lose them, hopefully we'll be far enough from the horses for Taniwha to be able to pick up their scent.
He gives a nod to the Druid before turning back and kneeling down again by the set of tracks, waiting for his companions.

"What was ya sayin to the little fey when I smashed him?" Mortar looks to Marcus as he places Foehammer in it's proper resting place. "Me elven is a little rusty and by rusty I mean it dosen't exist." He turns to retrieve his bow as he waits to see what the fellow ranger says.
"Aye Maui, Marcus is right. With the stench of the dead horses several days old we have a better chance to follow these tracks." He points to the tracks in which Marcus is looking.
[sblock=OOC]What language are you using to represent Maui's natural language? It reads like Hawaiian but I'm not sure if that's correct. Of course it could be 100% made up I suppose.[/sblock]

Maui is scowling at Taniwha and mumbling angrily something about Tane being busy doing things he shouldn't when he shouldn't with forest nymphs when Marcus speaks up.
He listens carefully though his scowl remains fixed upon Taniwha.
"You see. While you are smelling te rotten horses, te others are doing your job ... Haere mai!"
Sheathing his blade he walks over to Marcus to look at the tracks, Taniwha padding closely behind him, head hung slightly and tail between his legs as though in shame.
"Lead te way."
[sblock=Maui's Language] Maui is speaking in Maori (native language of New Zealand), so yes very closely related to Hawaiian. [/sblock]

Alvise pulls the cart up to the wreck and sighs, but immediately regrets the deep breath. "Gods, what a stink!" he says. He dismounts and looks at the sad remains of the cargo. "Not much left," he says. "But this ain't all of it, for sure. The weapon crate isn't here. Neither's the silverwork or the silks. I think I see some of the glassware, so I might be able to fish something out I suppose...."
Taniwha remains overwhelmed by the dead horse smell, but in the brush Marcus finds a small sledge the pugwampi had dragged to the wreck -- it seems likely they'd returned for another helping of well-aged horsemeat. The trail of bent vegetation follows a series of scratches cut into the trees at about pugwampi height. The scratches and the trail lead into the woods to the west.

Vincenzo will follow closely behind Marcus with his bow at the ready. A arrow is nocked, but not drawn.

"Fae'shiel's cousins look like they have been back to here a few times. They mark te trees. Sorry for te deaths of your family, Fae'shiel. They attacked so fast and it was hard to hit them."
Maui frowns as though he is still trying to make sense of it.
"Maybe this time you can speak to them and tell them it is you."
Following behind Marcus Maui calls Taniwha to his side and drawing his blade enters the forest, alert for further attack or traps that might lie in their path.

looking at the little human oddly she says "Where you come from is it typical for you to know all of your relatives, Maui?"
