“I crossed the bridge Amanita was on,” said Bitterroot, thankful she could give some semblance of good news, “and I didn’t see the body there.” Trace and Artemis groaned, so Bitterroot raised her voice. “So there’s three options. One: you missed and Amanita’s light went out from shock and she ran. She’s still alive, probably somewhere in town, and we’re not out of this yet. Two: you hit Amanita and knocked her into the river, but she’s still alive. Three: you killed Amanita and knocked her into the river. If she’s still alive, she’ll leave an obvious trail once she crawls out of the water, assuming she doesn’t die from exposure. If she’s dead, she’ll wash up downriver. Everypony agree on that?”
