Report from Tappy O’Rly

[Tidings]

Report from Tappy O’Rly, Master Plumber of Tryker, regarding water issues in Fyros lands.



With the aid of the following homin of good character, Windra, Haplo, Dalaenna, Rhyanna, Jocker, Manku, but most especially Ryz – without whose patience I would have surely failed to complete my task, I was able to check every major water source and feature in Fyros.



The famous Pyr Baths were my first port of call and when examined I noticed that the water pressure was not what it should have been. I could find no fault with the pipes or mechanisms which lead me to suspect a problem more deeply rooted in the supply. The water was also hotter than usual, due to the lack of pressure, and there was a slight smell to it, which I couldn’t quite place and dismissed as simply the Fyros scent.



I was next escorted to Oflovak’s oasis where I examined both lakes. There should have been leach-through from the main water supplies as well as the springs that feed the oases but here again, there was a lack and both lakes were somewhat lower than usual and their water less fresh.



Dyron Lake was our next port of call. Apart from the disgusting habit of letting their mektoubs bathe and defecate in their water supply I noticed that the water was of low quality, even considering that problem. The problem being that the water was not being cycled and replenished fast enough. More signs of a blockage. I recommend that the Dyron inhabitants not drink the local water until flow is restored.



Thesos lake proved to be equally tainted and I also noted the existence of some frothing scum, formed from breaking down animal fats. This would suggest that the contamination in the water supply comes from dead animals or similar. I traced the water back to Thesos spring and found something disturbing. Beyond reasonable doubt the source of the fatty, frothy scum is homin fat. Homin bodies are blocked up somewhere in the water supply, breaking down and creating this froth.



Knowing that an underground tributary comes off the main flow to Troubled Water I got my companions to next escort me there where me terrible suspicion was confirmed by the presence of bones, from homin of all peoples.



Someone is killing homin somewhere deep in the water supply, probably in the roots, and they are also blocking the flow, creating a huge pressure of backed up water though I cannot guess for what purpose.



I pass this information on to the Marshals, who will know best what to do with it.



In service.

oh dear those poor homins.

great detective work guys. maybe we can get to the bottom of this soon so that no more homins can meet the same greusome fate.

i myself overhear a few trykkers complaining about the taste of the water. maybe a few too many spicy izam wings at the samsara pub nights have ruined my tastebuds as i coudl not detect it.

is the water now safe to drink/bathe in again?

Beyond reasonable doubt the source of the fatty, frothy scum is homin fat. Homin bodies are blocked up somewhere in the water supply, breaking down and creating this froth.

Ew!

*runs off to tell Thesos- and bathhouse-loving guildmates*

It gets worse, i asked Tabby to show me the bones he found, they had runes drawn on them. They were runes use to bless falled warroirs so they will have a grand after life.

To many this may not seem like a big deal, but like you know these bones are fresh and these runes haven't been used since, welll after the fall of the dragon.

This all ties in with the cult, that run in at the gate and now this. But what i cant understand is why a homins trying to raise the dragon would use white magic runes.

I'm still looking into this, but nothing is adding up.

[seawe]

hmm yes strange, are you sure that these were fresh bones? they could have been old ones.. couldn't this evil guild have been building this blood dam up for years?

maybe some kind shaman scribed those runes on the bones after passing by...

As a frequent traveler between Avendale and Pyr i find this all very disturbing indeed. And to taint water so! Atleast its been dealt with now, but very disturbing, and who knows what its all about...

[katriell]

What if the remains were tainted with a disease?...

[seawe]

hmm yes I'm Not certainly going swimming anywhere in the desert..

i just hope that Pyr's water cleansing system is up to snuff!

[legokid]

No they were fresh, but the cult is dead, im still going to look into these runes, It just doesnt add up, kill to raise the dragon but bless the ones you kill, very strange.

Lets hope they're dead for good and dont be afeard to swim in the springs now
