Fury of the Wastewalker Journal - Session Twelve (3-2)

After running from the Halflings through the night, the adventurers find themselves in a clearing in the jungle. A strange ripple appears in the middle of the open area. Barcan, Phye, and Jarvix recognize it as a portal to the Feywild – an alternate plane. Just before getting a chance to examine the portal further, the party is surrounded by several lizard-like beasts called zairtails. The zairtails immediately attack the party. The small zairtails band together in swarms and the larger creatures have deadly biting or gazing attacks.

The beasts manage to weaken the party quickly. Although he battles bravely, Yuka is knocked unconscious by a particularly nasty attack. Barcan rushes to his downed friend and squeezes a magical healing fruit into Yuka’s bloody mouth. Energized by the fruit, Yuka jumps back into battle and kills one of the zairtails.

Suddenly a panther jumps into the clearing and attacks Jarvix. Fortunately Jarvix is able to dodge the first couple swipes from the beast’s sharp claws. Frustrated and feeling vulnerable, the panther flees into the jungle.

Even Phye is knocked unconscious during the brutal combat. Just as she goes down, however, the last zairtail is killed.

The party takes a moment to tend to the many wounds and searches the clearing. They find three blades in a nearby tree. Yuka claims the blades and begins fashioning them into a deadly weapon. Although safe for the moment, Castri realizes his endurance is exhausted. As the sun climbs higher into the sky, the party pauses to discuss what to do next.
