Port Yulia

The PCs use Firework Arrows to easily defeat the flying zombies.

At Port Yulia, they learn Ipparen leadership is paying 1000gp per Khazari head (“jaw guard”).

The PCs visit Heiko, and are given Sensable and Overdrive.

The PCs spread Honeyside business cards, and demo Skunkbomb, knocking out a few civilians in the process.

Feylings

The PCs notice a leather-wearing Feyling watching them from a window. They tell the feyling they represent the Wild, but are given little in return.

At the Wise Owl, two dwarves enter (Nazzour & Rinbera), and announce they’re looking for some feylings in town. The PCs learn the dwarves represent the Servant, and they take them to where the feylings (Lifos & Tifa) are staying.

The dwarves demand information about the Lesser Pantheon from the feylings, but receive nothing. The dwarves then use their apparent giant strength to throw a wagon into the feylings’ window.

Five’s a crowd

A messy fight breaks out, during which the PCs hear draconic screeching drawing nearer.

Eventually, Tifa abandons the fight, and Lifos and Rinbera are knocked out. While Nazzour helps Rinbera, the PCs are approached by a representative of the Swarm: Strath.

Strath puts a magic-nullifying bracelet on Lifos, and stuffs the feyling into a bottomless bag. A dragon then flies overhead, and lands before the PCs. The dragon, Maravor, asks Strath where the feylings are.

The lie

Strath tells Maravor that both feylings fled. The PCs are introduced as representatives of the Wild, and Maravor asks Sir Ares whether she can trust Strath. Ares lies convincingly, and Maravor departs Port Yulia.

The PCs and Strath leave the dwarves in town, and head north to Young Deer’s thicket. The PCs decide to cooperate with Strath, rather than attacking him.

The Wild

At the thicket, Young Deer summons the Wild. The PCs learn from Lifos that the Archfey was only able to win the God Wars with help from the Four Gods, who had grown sick of the constant fighting between the Lesser Pantheon.

For subduing a feyling, the Wild awards the PCs the Might of the Predator (40k xp). It then demands they destroy the Underdwellers.

The PCs convince the Wild not to consume Lifos, and then agree to take him on as their prisoner. Strath refuses to remove the magic-nullifying bracelet on Lifos, but he says they can unlock it using a knock spell.
