Lordoy!

Je prends la plume dans la main pour signaler développements inquiétants dans la forêt verdoyante. Une partie de ce que je ai observé de mes propres yeux et le reste est par rapport Ser Gillest, Bones, Ranger Aspirant Meggy et d'autres. Je vous envoie ce à vous de transmettre à Orphie Dradius. Vous pouvez être sûr que je vais encourager tous les homins d'observer et de rapport.

Comme vous le savez peut-être, les Matis Noble Ozwomen organisé une deuxième expédition au Tunnel du Malheur et que cette expédition a déclenché un essaim de Kitins qui a attaqué Yrkanis. Cette attaque a été repoussée, mais des essaims de Encens Kinchers et lacérant Kirostas occupent toujours la zone dans Knoll de la dissidence.

Observations ont été faites d'un grand nombre des Kirostas dans la zone située au nord et à l'ouest du tunnel, dans la région des terres arides Porte Stronghold, ainsi qu'une immense essaim d'entre eux près de l'extrémité orientale du tunnel juste à l'ouest du Centre de recherche Runninghill. Ce groupe se concentre sur le site même de la Motte kitin détruits. Est de Runninghill au nord de la passe il ya un groupe largement répandu des Encens Kinchers. Il ya aussi un groupe de Kinchers serrés au sommet de la butte sur le tunnel et un autre groupe d'étaler Kinchers nord du tunnel et un autre tel groupe sud du tunnel près de l'autel Karavan et Wooky atelier.

Je ai entendu d'autres rapports Kirostas et Kinchers près du camp des gardes-frontières Matisian, mais ne ont pas confirmé leur avant d'écrire ce message.

Ce qui me inquiète, ce est qu'ils font preuve d'un comportement similaire à celui observé dans la période après la Seconde Essaim. Ils ne sont généralement pas agressifs jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient attaqués ou l'un d'eux (que je appellerais un «spotter») remarque un homin. Une fois que cela se produit, ils semblent attaquer en groupes de six. La fin de [u] que [/ u] le comportement a été l'émergence des kitins de pelle gigantesques.

En outre, toute attaque par un homin contre d'autres bêtes de la région semble attirer l'attention agressive des kitins. Ce est un nouveau comportement; Je ne ai jamais vu kitins défendent d'autres bêtes. Gillest signalé que même une autre guérison homin commencerait une attaque, mais Bones et je testé plusieurs fois sans résultat. Peut-être qu'il ne avait tout simplement pas de chance avec les kitins "spotter".

Si kirostas individuels sont raillés suffisamment loin de leur embrayage compagnons (> 100 m), alors ils peuvent être tués sans plus de danger que d'habitude. Cela semble être le cas avec les Kinchers ainsi, mais il était beaucoup plus difficile en raison de leur être généralisée.

Ce est mon rapport jusqu'ici.

Mystia 11, 4th AC 2582 (Feb. 8th) events:

While Naema was resting in bed after suffering a concussion from the coma she recieved fighting kitins today, she decided to compose a letter to Orphie Dradius as her duty as a Ranger Aspirant:


After observing a Giant Rotoa in Egg room in Kitins Lair, well, to the degree she could, seems she is needing glasses now as she had a hard time 'seeing' the giant flower, when a haunting message echoed through the corridors,..."Matisian border gaurds have reported a large group of kitins on the way to Yrkanis...". Immediately as a Matisian I felt my heart sink!
I left the observations in the Kitins Lair by teleporting out and helped many homins fight off the kitins before they entered Yrkanis. Suprisingly, even those who would love to see Yrkanis burned to the ground helped out, perhaps thinking that if they didn't, then the next invasion may be their own homeland.
Thankfully, the Kitins were pushed back to the Tunnel of Woe. Although many thought that was enough, some, including myself grew tired of the Kitins invasion of my homeland and persued the kitins into the tunnel to try to wipe them out. Although the shock of so many homins sent the Kitins reeling, we persued them 3/4 of the way into the tunnel where eventually they put me into a coma and only by the powers that be, I was allowed to respawn to a safe location. To my knowledge, the kitins suffered a setback today. Lets hope it is a long time before they try to invade again.
Yours Truely,
~Naema

P.S. A quick edit already: After a return to the Kitins Lair to observe the rotoa and to dig some larvae for scrolls, I noticed something that escaped my notice: there is at least 1 terminator kipee in the egg room now. Some have suggested maybe the kipees are taking care of the rotoa, or even irritated by it, but I never noticed a terminator Kipee in the KL before.

Daomei decides to write a short report about the recent events in Kitin Lair and the Verdant Heights, and her and Diwu's findings on patrol

Dear Wuaoi, Dear commander Orphie,

Having patrolled the Tunnel of Woe region together with Diwu ever since having taken part in the second expedition of the Matis, I did not deem it necessary to waste your time with a report which would have been largely identicall with Mac'Od Bittty's careful observations. I only want to add that the Kinchers south of the tunnel near Wooky Workshop seem even less aggressive in the moment than the Kirosta; they seem to operate in groups of 3 only.

Just recently, Diwu and me, together with several other Ranger aspirants, accompagnied a group of Matis and other homins under lead of the royal botanist Ser Cuiccio Perinia and Ser Zakk, who wanted to inspect the large and strange Rotoa which has grown in the rear of the middle tunnel of prime egg chamber in the Kitin Lair. That plant has grown at the place where we recognized a strange mound of soil blocking the passage in the last section of the middle passage. It is a large plant with bright blue, nearly white, monocoloured bloom. It has grown fairly fast, ways quicker than normal rotoa plants.

We reached the place without incidents. The homins, especially the Matis, expressed their admiration of that natural wonder and admired the beauty of the plant. Especially Ser Curinia was enthusiastic and eager to harvest seeds of the plant as soon as they be available. Several Matis presumed that this plant might be the work of Ser Almati - some even asked if Almati could still be alive to which Ser Perinia contradicted, but he, too, was convinced that this plant was no chance of nature but the work of a Matis genius (personally, I deem all that somewhat speculative, yet we shall go on inquiring and shall see in the end).

Several times, fights erupted with the kipee patrol in the prime egg chamber. To my impression, there were less kipees than usually, and they were not aggressive when we arrived. I am not sure whether it were the kipees who started the fights or rather some reckless or intimidated homin in the large crowd. Anyway, they were disposed of soon any time.

After having observed and discussed for some time, a message came in that the Matisian Border Guard tribe had sighted a large mass of Kitins crossing the border to Majestic Garden and heading towards Yrkanis. We all used our pacts for Yrkanis and prepared for defence. The attack was much similar to the first attack after the expedition into Tunnel of Woe. Crowds of lacerating kirosta and incensed kinchers tried to storm towards Yrkanis but stood no chance. The defending force pressed forward north, destroying every incoming wave of kitins without major troubles. Finally, the homins proceeded towards Tunnel of Woe destroying any kitins in their way, even the two large crowds of kinchers and kirostas at the two eastern tunnel entries. An attack into the tunnel was considered, but given up *) as the number of homins had decreased somewhat and the large kitin forces began to be replenished ((respawned)). So the attack subsided in skirmishes, and Diwu and me decided to return to Pyr.

best regards, Daomei
Ranger aspirant

Daomei adds a short note
*) Later I heard that a part of the homin force had pressed into the tunnels but had to resort to resurrection by the powers when getting overwhelmed.

Daomei writes a short message
Dear Wuaoi, Dear commander Orphie,

I regret to have to announce that neither me nor Diwu are able to participate in the upcoming meeting ((ooc: and not on any other on Sunday evening in the foreseeable future)). I shall ask my fellow ranger aspirants about the results. If you have tasks for us to fulfill, please inform Kiwalie or Mac'od Bittty.

Woren siloy, Daomei

Mac'Od Bittty sits at a table in Liffan's bar in Fairhaven with a stiff drink of stinga rum in front of him. The spring air is warm but he still feels as if a chill is running through his bones. He pulls out pen and ink and scribes in a crude but readable hand.

To Orphie Dradius, Commander of Rangers
Lordoy!

I have just returned from an inspection of the are around the Tunnel of Woe. Contrary to the proud declarations of the Matis, the defense of Yrkanis most recent has not resulted in the return of the status quo. The area around the tunnel is swarming with Lacerating Kirostas and Incensed Kinchers. They are still not highly aggressive, but seem to have more of the "spotter" kitins this time than in my previous encounters. (Or perhaps I just had bad luck.) The crowd of Kinchers atop the hill over the nest is about the same as it was in my last letter. The groups to the south and north and west are all smaller than I had previously observed, but there was a great mass of mixed kinchers and kirostas at the south entrance of the Tunnel all of them moving back and forth with a deal of speed, and apparently moving to fill the valley near where the Mound used to be.

A kincher chased me to the east, so I went to visit the Matisian Border Guards, whose camp was on full alert. As I looked to the south and west, I noted that the mass of kitins was once again assembled in that region, but that instead of being mostly Lacerating Kirostas it was a mix of Kirostas and Kinchers. When I approached, it became obvious that they were not the same sorts as near the Tunnel. The entire assembly of 80 or more kitins were Great Kirostas and Great Kinchers !!! As with the other gatherings they seemed to be biding their time.

Even more worrisome was my observation of a line of Karavan hovering observation modules (such as are seen over the camps of those tribes the Karavan favor). This line extended from cliff to cliff at the border of Knoll of Dissent and Majestic Garden. If the Karavan are ready to deploy their technology, I worry that these gatherings of Kitins portend more than the usual reaction of the kitins to attacks in force by homins. I pulled one of the Great Kirostas close to the line, but did not observe any change.

I intend to post a notice warning of the increased danger.


By my hand this 26th Germinally, 1st AC, 2582

Mac'Od Bittty

Bittty carefully rolls and ties the letter and attaches it to the leg of a willing Izam. Then he orders another stinga rum.

L'avis suivant est affiché dans les villes de la forêt verdoyante et des autres Nations ainsi. Elle est copiée dans une main juste.

AVERTISSEMENT à tous les homins voyageant dans ou près des Knoll de dissidence.

Kitins sont à nouveau fourmillent autour du Tunnel du Malheur et se rassemblent à la frontière entre Knoll de la dissidence et Majestic Garden. Cet essaimage est similaire à ceux observés dans le dernier cycle, sauf que l'ensemble près de la frontière est maintenant faite de Kinchers et Kirostas du plus haut rang, la Grande Kinchers et la Grande Kirostas.

Karavan dispositifs ont été aperçus le long de la frontière, planant dispositifs d'observation comme on en trouve au-dessus de tribus favorisées par la Karavan. Leur but est inconnu.

Au service de hominité.

((.....of Fairhaven. ..... ))

While recovering nicely, I chose to compose another letter to Orphie Dradius:

Dear Orphie Dradius,

In previous statements by you, i recall you mentioned we as Rangers can defend our home against invaders, this was of course refering to when other factions/guilds attacked our Outposts, however, as a Matis interested in protecting the forest from invasions of Kitins I find this also applies in this case too.

Can we get clear instructions as Rangers on how we are to respond? I cannot sit Idly by and Just 'observe' the kitins, while being nice and hospitable to the Matis kingdom as they fight off the kitins. I must help them! If being a ranger involves just sitting back and observe while our home is run over by kitins, then I will resign as a ranger. I support the forest whole-heartedly and will not be governed by politics. It may sound rogue, but I don't care. If it involves driving the kitins back to pr, then so be it. I protect the forest and especially I protect the new homins who wish to explore it.

(Continued):

My reason for asking for directions are that if in your proffessional opinion you thought attacking the kitins in the Tunnel of Woe will agitate them further, or discourage them from flooding our lovely forest?

Please respond, waiting for your instructions...
Yours truely,
~Naema

Daomei writes a letter to Wuaoi and Orphie

Dear Orphie, dear Wuaoi,

I hereby am sending my report for the upcoming Rangers' assembly. There are two topics:

1. Assembly in Pyr and a short summary about the "Atreus case".

To those not familiar with what ist called the Atreus affair, I recommend the report by Akenak Eeri Summary of the actions of Thesos patriots, and this Akenak assembly minutes by Akenak Lerya.

Atreus is the twin brother of the late sharükos Dexton. He was abducted as a newborn and raised in the belief that his family had expulsed him. He and some followers had undertaken efforts to overthrow sharükos Lykos - it is not clear how far these efforts have gone, but the conspirators, including Atreus, are awaiting a trial. Atreus is suffering from the same disease which threatened the life of Dexton (killed him in the memories of some homins) in the past.

With the help of many homins, an inquiry had been started to reveal the details of the abduction of Atreus before the first great swarming. The spiritus rector of that crime was an evil senator who bribed some of the guards and midwives. During the birth of the second twin a fire was started in the palace to distract sharükos Cerakos and a loyal guard, a dead baby boy (murdered short before) was foisted on sharükos Lydia to make her believe that her second son had died during birth. These circumstances have been revealed during the last session of the Akenak and the imperial court.

As shocking as these findings are, no dangers of civil war or further acts of high treason in the desert exist anymore. On behalf of the Rangers, I offered assistance if necessary to save the life of Atreus.

2. Some remarks upon the last Session of the circles in Zorai

Though I am not in charge for the Witherings anymore, I am still observing the course of events, there. What made me worry, was the harsh criticism of the inquiries and expeditions of the kingdom into the tunnel of woe kitin outpost, blaming the Matis for the subsequent kitin attacks by "poking their noses where they do not belong", as a Zorai awakened was not ashamed to enunciate.

I wondered a bit that none of the Ranger applicants an companions contradicted - at least such has not been reflected in the notes and minutes of the assembly. I want to describe my point of view concerning our conduct with kitins.

I am convinced that kitins are not just animals but an intelligent lifeform. Yet, until now, they have refused any contact or communication other than sheer violence. As long as this situation prevails we cannot but consider the kitins a profoundly hostile power which may attack anytime without warning or obvious reason.

Thus, our way of dealing with them must be to pay utter attention to all behavioral patterns of all kitins on and below the bark. This includes but is not limited to incursions into their fortified places anytime we choose so. Additionally, all means of research and inquiry have to be taken, be they military, scientific, forceful, peaceful, or stealthy. Every homin, no matter of which nation, race, or religion, has the right and the duty to take part in all enterprises of any of these kinds.

Unless the kitins start opening channels of communication and negotiation about mutual and peaceful access to their and our settlements, the right of every homin, including the clans of the marauders, to participate in actions concerning the kitins must not be abridged.

I would be grateful for a clarifying statement about these affairs. It might be communicated to the governments to avoid such misunderstandings. Ducking before the kitin danger will never save us.
