"Were you all just hiding these?" Gilbert asks, gently bewildered as @Sumasuun returns to the pier with an excited, spotted creature.

"You're so cute!" Jacobi coos, the creature responding by splashing him with water and beaming. Coughing, he adds, "Anyway! Congratulations, @Sumasuun, on discovering the Aquatic Ridix!"



Fished up from the ever clearing waters of Talytil Lake, the new Aquatic Ridix Morphing Potion appears! Discovered by @Sumasuun, it seems like there is small chance of reeling one in when fishing at certain locations.

From now until the end of October, it will also be available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts).

Gilbert stares at @Voermina and the Pet accompanying them. After a long, frankly awkward moment of silence, they say, "Is that a Lugra?"

"I am a Lugra," the Pet confirms, sounding amused. "An Aquatic Lugra, to be precise."

Gilbert spins to face Jacobi, who recoils a bit in surprise. "I'll be right back," they say. "Hold these."

"Wh- where are you going?" Jacobi asks, bewildered as Gilbert shoves his sword and pouch into his arms.

"Come with me," Gilbert says gruffly to the other Lugra, ignoring Jacobi. They both disappear under the water, and after another moment of silence Jacobi looks at @Voermina.

"Well, that happened," Jacobi says. "Anyway... congratulations, @Voermina! It looks like there are even more Aquatic Pets to be discovered, and you found the Lugra!"

Several hours pass before the two Lugrae reappear... except they are both Aquatic. "This is the best," Gilbert says excitedly, giving the water a splash with his flippers. "The best!"

It hasn't been easy, but we've finally reached our first stretch goal! More than 30,000 points have been acquired through our collective work. If you've been helping clean up Talytil Lakes, be sure give yourself a big pat on the back! (And if you haven't helped out yet, there's still plenty of time to jump in -- we still have a good way to go.)



To thank our dedicated participants for their hard work, even more rewards are being prepared by Jacobi! They will be handed out at the end of the event.



Because of our cleaning efforts, the lake is now clear enough to start sailing (and wading) without Gilbert's watchful eye! Hop in a boat or set up a picnic on the shore and start fishing -- you may find some unique Items along the way.

Remember, Talytil Lakes isn't out of the woods just yet. Our final stretch goal is at 50,000 points. Keep up the hard work, and we'll surely reach it in no time!



Not only that -- there are Zabeus in the lakes, and there are Zabeus in the skies! The colourful Rainbow Zabeu is here to carry away your woes (or do its very best to). Thank you to @Irissa for funding such a delightful new Pet!



From now until the end of September, the Rainbow Snow Jar will be available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts). It is also always available by completing the Rainbow Snow Jar Jigsaw Puzzle.

A reminder that Zabeus do not have Morphing Potions -- your Pet must already be a Zabeu before using a Snow Jar!
