The Fae kidnapping - Event plan

Attendees: 2-3


Synopsis:


During a rather regular day in the Wychwoods. A shambling monstrosity of a creature, One with the form a giga yokai though one that seemed to have sprouted think, cloying vines, attack the party and attempts to kidnap a fae, one with some kind of kinship with one of the party members.

After fending off the creature it will either abscond with the fairy or will beg for its life. Revealing its intentions. If allowed it well tell them all about what he had planned to do with the fae and why it was desperately trying to kidnap it.

If they let him live:

His species, the parasitic plant that has attached itself to the Yokai, have sprung up since the flooding of wychwood. They require a host to have any kind of higher brain function and they seek out a fairy body to act as their ruler to get them through this difficult time.

He will lead them back to his 'village' of sorts. The other creatures they come in all manner of bodies. And they all differ in intelligence varying on what kind of body they are controlling. The Yokai is currently the most intelligent one they have since their previous ruler passed away.

It will be revealed that the plants are currently at arms with a local Ookami tride. One that seem to have become rowdier since the change in the area. In a plea of pity, they will ask the party to negotiate on their behalf. Noting Lara's Ookami appearance and asking her specifically.

If they kill him:

They will be ambushed by a tribe of Ookami who had been following the beast and they will be invited back to their camp. Once there it will be explained what the creatures they fought are and why they are fighting them. There will be mention of going after medicinal materials in the area.

(Basically the same exposition but told from their rivals)


They will also briefly touch on collecting battle materials. (This is the first hook for them not being wholly benevolent.) And will ask if they could examine the fae with them if denied they will appear to laugh it off. They will offer the party to stay the night.

If they accept:

The fairy will be kidnapped in the night, waking the party and starting a fight against the ookami leader.

If they deny it:

The plant monstrosities will rendezvous with them and they will inform the party of the Ookami's own wicked practices against the fairies. If they hadn't met them before, more exposition will occur here. Showing that they now deemed this Asena's land and other creatures had no right to live there. (Religious zealots really).

Either way they will end up fighting the Ookami leader though they may do so with a depowered version of the original EC on their side. If the leader is defeated then the clan will shatter and they will be left to the plant monstrosities.

If they lose then the plant beings and the Ookami will nearly wipe each other out in bloody conflict.

At the end a hooded Ookami with reveal herself to the group, showing themselves to be an amalgamation of the plants on the Ookami. Showing symbiosis, that they can get along etc etc. The plant people and the Ookami tribe will give one gift each. A living piece of themselves and an ancient amulet respectively.

The Ookami/plant Hybrid will offer up their sword/staff (depending on the attendee's build) to the party as a token of friendship and thanks.
