Game summary for December 27, 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), Khesen Pavel (Human Brawler played by Parker Harmon), and Neko (Half-Orc Magus played by Peyton Harmon). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.

The viper ship, not secured to the Perry, separated and started moving away with half the party on one ship and half on the other!  Intevar and Neko, stuck on the Perry, started shouting for the gnomes and fighting the blaze on the top deck.  Helg began channeling energy to heal the badly injured Hekera and Khesen, while the two of them began positioning to hurl area of effect items through the hatches.  One of the tinker gnomes came on deck with some kind of gnomish fire suppression system.  He promptly blew himself off the side of the ship, knocked himself out, and had to be rescued by Neko.  Intevar was able to finish extinguishing the fire.

Back on the viper ship, Hekera hurled a swarm spider grenade down one hatch while Khesen hurled a dung grenade down another.  Screams (and smells) erupted from down below!  The group opened the hatch to the helm a bit too early, and the swarm was driven out by the fires from the helmsman.  The spiders flowed over Helg and Hekera, biting and stinging!  They soon disappeared into ether as the magic ran out, however.  A trio of pirates swarmed up out of the other hatch and tore into the group, but they were quickly cut down. 

The Perry came around, and Intevar and Faylen used a rope and the ballista to tether the two ships.  Meanwhile, the squidship got closer and cheered the team on for using explosives!  The Perry was able to pull alongside the viper ship, and Neko tried to jump aboard.  He tripped and fumbled, falling down between the ships and was smashed as they bumped together!  Badly injured, he dragged himself back up onto the Perry. 

A trio of enemies came up out of the helm and attacked the team.  The corsair was brutal with its cutlass, and the pitborn bugbear evoker nearly killed Hekera with a magic missile!  However, the group rallied and brought to bear a horrendous assault, cutting down the rest of the enemies.

The Perry swept in alongside the goblinoid viper ship after the team cast a couple spells to prepare.  The upper deck was swarming with goblinoids and their allies, and four goblin vulture pilots circled overhead.  The goblins hurled bombs down at the party and started the Perry on fire.  Neko blasted the monsters with a fireball, killing several.  Hekera jumped onto the viper ship to engage with his sword upon which Helg had cast bane weapon.  Shockingly, the massive ogre began casting a spell!  It covered the Perry‘s upper deck with a stinking cloud and incapacitated much of the team (and one of the vulture riders). 

Khesen (on fire) jumped blindly out of the fog onto the viper ship.  He and Hekera fought against the creatures in melee while orcs and gnolls unleashed arrows at them.  One of the ogren corsairs charged across deck and savaged Hekera with its cutlass.  The ogre cast snakeball but none of the party were poisoned.  It then cast deep slumber at Hekera, but he shook it off.  Neko unleashed scorching ray and magic missile while Intevar used arrows.  Faylen killed a hobgoblin that jumped onto the Perry, and put the ballista to work on the ogre.  The team cleared the upper deck and then killed all the vultures out from under the goblin pilots!
