Day 148 of the search for dragons

Detective Wagalot’s nose has proven useful. She found a dragon’s scent in a snowy field and we followed it into the forest. In the forest we could see a path where branches and trees have been knocked down by the dragon. However, the search had a watery conclusion, and alas the fluffy Detective could not smell the trail any further. I wonder how close we were behind it, and if it purposefully went to the river to lose us.
