Mac'Od Bittty sits in Liffan's bar and takes an occasional drink from his mug of Lakes beer. His hair is still wet from a cooling swim after the last trek through the desert, and he is careful not to wet the paper as he writes.

Unto Wuaoi Yai-Zhio, Ranger Instructor, greetings from Mac'Od Bittty, Ranger Aspirant.
Sir.
Recently I heard a rumor of increased kitin activity in the Forest, specifically near Tunnel of Woe and the Kitin Observation Camp in Grove of Confusion. In company with Ranger Aspirant Meggy we surveyed the surroundings of the Tunnel and saw nothing but the usual concentrations of Kirostas, Kinchers, a few Kinrey, and the "Prince" Kizarak sunning itself in the entrance to the maze of tunnels.
Traveling to the Grove via the Path from Yrkanis, we saw evidence that recent activity (*) had temporarily increased the number of some of the kitins, including the Kipuckers, as well as the numbers of the herd of Aranas that normally lives near the Camp. On a second visit a week (**) later the numbers had returned to normal except for the Kipuckers, which circumstance I took care to rectify.
Operating on the theory that rumors in Atys often start by a sense of hominity of disturbances in the fields of the bark, I also checked areas known in the past to have had aggressive Kitin activity: the area south of Thesos where the last Mound was destroyed, Loria Ponds and the area around, Underspring near Tupile Trading Post and the KOC, the area east of Crystabel. All showed either no or only the usual amounts of Kitin activity.
I have placed the guild Phaedrea's Tears on medium alert, and will copy this letter to public boards to invite other homins to keep an eye out.
In service to Atys,
-- Bittty

(**) The next day IRL. [/OOC]
Bittty makes a copy of the letter to give to the scribes for duplication, then rents one of Ba'Naer Liffan's izams to take the original to Wuaoi. It is evening now, and he orders a stinga rum to close out his day.
