Britain, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – September 15, 2010 – by Ashlynn – Dozens of dead fish were seen floating on the surface of Castle Britannia’s moat today, the first clear signs of the ongoing “bad” water crisis plaguing various water sources throughout the realm.
The large fish, of which species I do not know (not being an angler myself, but they were pretty big) were seen drifting on the surface of the moat, a horrid sickly green in colour and giving off a potent stench. The issue of the purity of the city water supply has been in question for some time now, with Walt the Chemist delivering a number of reports at the Castle Summit. But these are the first physical signs we have had of the situation and I fear they may cause some panic amongst the citizenry if an alternative supply is not found.
The sight of the dead fish does not bode well for the city.
A vessel was seen nearby and an associate pointed out the condition of its hull and rotted oars, suggesting that perhaps the boat may be leaking or even dumping something into the water. This however is pure speculation at this point, but it’s proximity to the dead fish does raise some questions.
In anycase, hopefully this situation will be rectified one way or the other. Perhaps an alternative water source can be found in the nearby mountains and an aqueduct can be built for the City of Britain. Or perhaps some water purification spell or potion can be created by the mages and alchemists of the city. For now, we can only hope.
The “Green Fish”??? hmmmmm !!! Green fish, Green vapor?? Any connection? I’m wondering if there isn’t something connected to the strange “green gas vapor” that’s spewing from the strange well spotted by our own reporter, Ashlynn, in Fel..Makes one wonder wether there isn’t some underground vent system that’s bringing the gas to the surface, feeding the gas from a central unknown location. Seems who or what ever it is doesn’t care where the gas leaks, “or do they?” Maybe the gas leaking has stratic meanings?? This might be a job for the Royal guard to investigate or a very skilled detective.
I don’t believe they are specifically linked. Perhaps a similar toxin involved in both cases, but an inter-facet pipe system is stretching it a bit. Now perhaps the toxin in question is being brought in from felucca, but by who…
Ya, I guess you might be right. That would be one long set of pipe lines wouldn’t it. lol. Then maybe as you said, some one has the ability to obtain and distribute the posionous green stuff and is ditributing the stuff all over Sosaria. But do the locations where the green stuff is appearing have significance or are these places random? There is definately a madness behind who ever is doing this. Where will the next location be? and will the locations start connecting dots together with a purpose behind it.
