ScreamingDingo 16995 Share Posted May 30, 2022 STRANGE FAUNA ALERT An artist's rendition of the "Savoyard Curse" FISHING ADVISORY - SOUTH OF ALMARIS Recorded and published on behalf of the Almarian Beastiary Association A new species of slug has been discovered, dubbed the “Savoyard’s Curse”. These creatures are remnants from the disaster of Savoy, large slugs covered in what appears to be diluted thannic sludge that emanates from their bodies. They are the size of a fist and appear to not show any aggression or semblance of intelligence beyond a basic level. They bundle in groups and latch onto wildlife, seemingly infecting them and eating them with the gels that emanate from their bodies. Anglers of the South, ensure that your catches are combed of these invasive entities. They are seemingly poisonous and can inflict mild thanicosis upon consumption and wounds caused by the Cursed Slugs. All evidence and research has shown that the removal of these beasts from fish will not cure them of contamination. They must be thrown for scraps and handled with care. We are unsure if the currents will remove these pests. Thank you and stay safe, descendants. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
satinkira 5944 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Yavonna keeps a copy of the missive, stowing it away into his robes as he begins to pull jars from the cupboards. We must collect them, hmm? Perform experiments on them, destroy them, or at least try to find out how to. Can't have the fishermen being in danger. This, he confided to the jars he was taking out; mayhaps to his own reflection. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbog 447 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Quote Jiangu'Lak, Associate of the Trout Population, reads the missive and distantly thinks of the Lord of Trout Population Analytics, Barbog @Barbog. He wonders if this will effect the trout population and how the powerful duo can save the delicate species. Barbog'Yar, Lord of Trout Population Analytics, and recently heading population reconstruction efforts in eastern Almaris, knows that much of the north-easterly Almarian trouts are likely to be safeguarded from this threat. All of the regional trouts native to the Northern half of Almaris are exclusively freshwater species that live in lakes, freshwater bayous and swamps, and of course, rivers. A recently study of White River Run, betwixt Celia'nor and San'Velku, has shown absolutely no presence of this species thus far. Due to the distinct lack of coastal or migratory trout species in Almaris, it stands to reason that this will not change without Descendent intervention. Still, this leaves the unfortunate southern half's trout population victim to this virulent parasite. The Thannic pollution alone is likely to wreak havoc on many aquatic species, degrading shells of shellfish and molluskoids, introducing Thanium into the bloodstreams of species that will only build as they climb the food chain, and of course, the unpredictable effects of the parasites themselves- these "Savoyard Curse" slugs. As the grand notice mentioned, this corruption seems difficult to cure- perhaps with enough research and time, one may find a nontraditional method of either curing the infection entirely, or more likely, discovering if there is a way for the trout population to reproduce and live whilst still bearing the infection. Only time will tell. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
