Chronoshift: Spelljammer — Game Session — 014

Game summary for August 23, 2022, Chronoshift: Spelljammer campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club.

Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.

The team decided to use the ballista to fire upon the catapults.  Crimson had some engineering expertise and served as crew chief while Hekera and Khesen began cranking the ballista around.  The drow catapult crews frantically began turning the catapults upon them!  Helg, Sienna, and Intevar took off through the keep to try and attack the drow in melee while the ballista fired away.

Two catapult shots went wide, and Crimson fired the ballista and struck a catapult!  They then began reloading.  Meanwhile, the assault crew climbed up through the trap door and engaged the first catapult crew.  The trio ripped into the drow in a stunning display of violence and skill bolstered by Helg’s Valhallan prayers.  The other catapults succeeded in destroying the ballista, so the rest of the team rushed into the keep to try and make it to the catapults. 

The assault team went running across the roof firing arrows and magic missiles, dropping drow as they went!  The remaining drow drew forth blades and attacked.  They landed several blows, but they were greatly overmatched.  The group defeated the drow as the rest of the team arrived, and they destroyed the rest of the catapults. 

With no siege engine crews remaining, the party walked unmolested to the docks.  From there they learned Alton had left heading into space toward a star.  They boarded the damselfly and flew back to the Perry.  There they gave a harbor moon to Sailmaster Tuk and talked to him about the star.  He told them it is called Alastriel.  He explained it is actually a portal into the Phlogiston, and he told them why such an opening does not flood the sphere.  They then talked to First Mate Flick and told him their destination.  He also got Crick and Vick to tie up the damselfly for towing.  They then set out with the warning that after a few days, it was going to get really, really cold as they get further from the sun.

Game summary for August 16, 2022, Chronoshift: Spelljammer campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Hekera Nephera Mawhesk Vyk’sebekenka (Sebek-ka Fighter played by Preston Harmon), Helg Ingvar (Aasimar Cleric played by Chris Harmon), Intevar Dagella (Centurian Drow Silent Hunter played by Casey Scruggs), and Khesen Pavel (Human Brawler played by Parker Harmon). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.

Helg made a knowledge (arcana) check and figured out how to neutralize the symbol of weakness.  Hekera went in and covered it with a blanket.  They then took numerous items from the chests, including dozens of bizarre half-moon coins.  The party members from Realmspace recognized them as Waterdhavian harbor moons, very particular coinage from the city of Waterdeep in Toril.  The odd thing is that is two Crystal Spheres away, quite a journey. 

The group followed the pull of the ring out the front doors toward the docks.  Outside they were noticed by the remaining ballista and catapult crews!  The team rushed back inside to take care of the remaining siege engines.  They rushed up the stairs and burst out upon the ballista crew.  Hekera led the way and cleaved through two drow!  The ogrillion went into a rage, charged, and punched Hekera right in the snout!  Intevar slipped in and critically hit the ogrillon from flanking position!  Helg rushed in and missed with his sword.  Khesen then came in and landed a punch.  Finally, Hekera cut it down! 

Chronoshift: Spelljammer — Game Session — 012

Game summary for August 2, 2022, Chronoshift: Spelljammer campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Crimson “Pyro” Deathcloud (Tiefling Alchemist played by Peyton Harmon), Hekera Nephera Mawhesk Vyk’sebekenka (Sebek-ka Fighter played by Preston Harmon), Intevar Dagella (Centurian Drow Silent Hunter played by Casey Scruggs), Jiraiya (Hurwaeti Freebooter played by Andrew Renfrow), Khesen Pavel (Human Brawler played by Parker Harmon), Ruby Rue (Blink Dog Rogue Cohort played by Dylan Whittinghill as secondary), Scraggy Lodgers (Werebear-Kin Gunslinger / Witch played by Dylan Whittinghill), and Zzyym (Zif Esoteric / Academy Sorcerer played by Kaliegh Belda). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.

Jiraiya, Zzyym, and Scraggy rejoined the party and immediately engaged the demons.  Scraggy began drawing pistols from his magical bandolier and blasting away while Crimson continued hurling bombs into the fray.  Jiraiya slipped in and ripped a spear out of the hands of one demon and hurled it off into a corner.  The demons continued a coordinated attack and savaged ripped into Khesen’s flesh.  He collapsed beneath their vicious throttling and lay dying in a deepening pool of blood.  Fortunately, Zzyym cast stabilize and saved his life and Jiraiya tumbled out of the demons’ reach and dragged his friend to safety.  Hekera did what he does, swing his big sword with gusto!  It bit deeply into demon flesh.  Meanwhile, Intevar used her newly acquired magical trident to deal deadly blows to the demons. 

Ruby found himself in a bad location and was slashed by demonic claws!  Zzyym cast mudball and blinded a demon while Intevar killed the other.  The blinded demon tried to dispel the mudball and failed.  Several combined hits from the party hurt the last remaining fiend, and Intevar then drove her trident through its heart, banishing it back to the Abyss.  Unfortunately, the accumulated damage from the demons’ acidic slime destroyed the trident!

Crimson healed some of Khesen’s wounds and roused him back to consciousness.  Zzyym then went into the hidden room and cast detect magic.  She sensed magic on or in the chests.  Scraggy walked in using a pistol and blasted a lock right off a chest.  He then opened the chest and triggered some kind of rune or symbol that sapped all the strength from both him and Zzyym, and they collapsed unconscious.  Hekera ran in and dragged them back out to safety!
