Welcome to the Jungle II (S&S Intro Campaign)
Plot Synopsis
After narrowly escaping the wrath of the mutated beast, the party takes refuge in a cave, where they investigate what looks to be a campfire inside and find the lone survivor of the research party: Cellinia Edelweiss, the mercenary. She’s in bad shape and expresses a desire to just get out of the forest, and is thankful the party has arrived. The party makes camp in the cave, and the next morning Niao and Dearth journey out with Cellinia to escort her back to the extraction point.
Before they leave, Cellinia points the characters north-northeast where she believes the creature makes its lair, as she saw it drag her companion Altan Batbayar, the local guide, off that way. The party backtracks to where the battle was and follows its tracks for about half a day, eventually finding a massive concrete compound in the forest.
Part of it is burnt and collapsed in, and the beast’s nest is located right in the center. The party explores the compound, finding that it was a research facility set up by the Ruefang Continental Army. Wisteria and Ujyaku pore through abandoned journals and research notes, finding that the army was seeking to train and control grassfangs using scents - and, finding normal grassfangs to be unsuitable for war, later on turned to Lithicore’s technology to artificially enhance them, even going so far as to implant an activated jinghua engine in place of their hearts. Cyrus retrieves such an engine from the chest of a dead, dissected mutated grassfang; the party theorizes this to be the beast’s mate, the death of whom drove her on a rampage that destroyed the facility.
Kentaro, Cyrus, and Rik pull off a plan to put the mutated beast to sleep, giving them ample time to explore and come up with a plan. A data orb Wisteria found seems to contain a failsafe for what the army called “Project Inferno”: direct, precise, and harmful blasts of water or ice meant to douse the beast’s flames. As they plan how to finally leverage this new knowledge to take down the beast, it awakes from its slumber…
