Re: Riffy Rithy Returns !
Aye, we have some members (DCP Guild) at GMT+5:30, others between GMT and GMT+2 and yet others GMT-5 through GMT-8. Finding one sweet spot time for such a wide range of time zones is simply impossible.

Re: Riffy Rithy Returns !
Homins...
As a reporter I have had to witness some scenes that have stayed with me for a while. I can assure you, tonight was no exception. Seeing Riffy's blood dripping down his face, the passion from his voice and the look in his eyes... Haunting.
But as a reporter it is my duty to report, so I must go on !
Today the famous hawker Riffy Rithy appeared before us in Fairhaven. Padger O'Toogh, the chief of the Guild of Hawkers was waiting with us at the Bar; we had planned to celebrate the return of a friend who had been away for so long but it turned out that the fates had other plans. Riffy appeared in the distance - he was barely able to walk and blood was streaming down his face. The homins around us quickly jumped up and carried him into the bar where he was settled and relieved to be back amongst friends after so long in the dark Prime Roots.
Even though he was obviously in a lot of pain, he still managed to report to Padger that he had a convoy of three packers who were with him while he was travelling from the Desert where his path took him through the Prime Roots. At some point on his journey he was ambushed by Kitin who quickly swarmed all over him; frightened by the situation his convoy of Mektoubs scattered and ran but somehow Riffy manged to escape alive. !
Now here comes the interesting bit everyone; during the course of all this Padger asked Riffy if the "Special Item" Riffy had unearthed was on his person. Riffy replied negatively and that it was on one of his packers when he was attacked. This sparked Padger to ask the homins in attendance to find Lady Ailan, The Governor of New Trykoth so that he could speak with her.
Now I can't be sure, but I'm sure I heard "Amber Cube" start to be mentioned. could this be a new Amber Cube?
As always I shall endevour to discover more !

A good start and I must say I'm excited on seeing how this develops. Although I felt a little cheated with the the ending being unclear (whether they would come back right away or not) at that time (1:30 AM to 3:30 AM)... it feels okay now that I'm well rested and awake.
The event was handled pretty well after all. It really does have quite an air of mystery around it.

*Sherkalyn nods and sighs as the news spread acoss the Lakelands and finally reached her, hours later, in Windermeer.*
-And this had to happen while I was visiting family. That's my usual luck. I wish I could be of any help to my fellow Tryker friends. I guess I'll have to harass Beau or miss Hekla for more details.
*Her Fyros father suddenly bursts in mocking laughter*
-What Kind of help would YOU be down there ? The sole fact of mentionning the Prime Roots makes you shudder in terror. And you have yet to acquire the teleporter pacts down there. Plus, I doubt that any non-Trykers would be welcome on the trip. For the Lady-Governor to get involved, this must be some serious Tryker business.
*Sherkalyn furiously glares at her father while her Tryker mother simply shrugs and keeps picking up the dirty plates from the table. Fights between the father and daughter were frequent and mostly without consequences, she knew better than to get involved : those two were more hard headed than Rendors.*
-Isn't it the very definition of courage, to fight against your own fears ? Besides, the Prime Roots aren't as scary when you travel in good company.
-Well you are still not going anywhere. Your auntie is sick and we're visiting her this week-end. You know how picky she is and being ill makes it even worse; this is no time to get torn to pieces by all kinds of voracious beasts.
(More or less inspired by reality. I can't attend the event because I'm visiting family.
)

The plot thickens!
Lady Ailan has requested that I make this announcement for her:

Lady Ailan wrote:Friends,
As I'm sure you know by now, the honourable Tryker hawker Riffy Rithy arrived back in Fairhaven recently. Injured from a Kitin attack, he bravely managed to find his way in from the desert. His convoy of Mektoub Packers have fled; now scattered across the depths of the Prime Roots. However, at the time of the attack they were carrying valuable items which could now be lost.
Thankfully Riffy is now fully recovered from his wounds and, after great discussion, he has revealed to me that one of his three Mektoub's was carrying a previously undiscovered Amber Cube. The knowledge hidden within this cube could unlock secrets or help us advance greatly as a society. Of course, it could be the recipe for Stinga Rum! But if there is even the slightest of chances that this amber cube could prove invaluable to us as Trykers, then we must search for it.
After much deliberation on our best plan of action, I have decided that we will need help from experts in Prime Roots. The tribe calling themselves "Cockroaches" have all but cut their ties to us homins on the Bark due to events in their past, yet they know the Prime Roots better than any other Tryker. Fortunately, Padger still has connections to them and he shall be able to act as an ambassador on my behalf. I fear that their distrust of us will still be great, even with Padger's help, but I hope you will do anything they request to secure their aid.
I request that any Tryker or friend of New Trykoth be present at the entrance to Fairhaven at 10PM GMT (5pm EST // 2pm PST) today to escort Padger to the camp of the Cockroaches. Remember that the Prime Roots are a very dangerous place, so please remember to equip yourselves accordingly for your own protection.
I hope that the Spirit of the Tryker shines through and we are able to succeed in gaining the Cockroaches' trust and aid. For without it, I fear all shall be lost.
Signed,
Lady Ailan Mac'Kean
Governor of New Trykoth and the Federation of Aeden Aqueous

3:1, 2:1, 1:1 ... probability factor of one to one; we have normality. I repeat: we have normality. Anything you still can't handle is therefore your own problem.
