Game summary for January 2, 2024, Chronoshift: Spelljammer campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Claude Dill Budshire (Sokari Sorcerer played by Peyton Harmon), Hekera Nephera Mawhesk Vyk’sebekenka (Sebek-ka Fighter played by Preston Harmon), Helg Ingvar (Aasimar Cleric played by Chris Harmon), Khesen Pavel (Human Brawler played by Parker Harmon), and Notch Bowman (Human Fighter played by Andrew Renfrow). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team entered a blue-titled dungeon room with two rows of three Warp Pipes each dividing the room. Stacked brick blocks were topped by bright yellow mystery question blocks. A brightly colored red and green piranha plant rose up from one Warp Pipe and began launching fiery orbs. Out of the dust arose two skeletal animated dry bones, boney anthropomorphic turtles with grey shells, blue gloves on their hands, and glowing lights in their empty eye sockets.
Notch unleashed a devastating volley into piranha plant before suffering severe burns for his attack. Claude ran out and started activating question blocks to reveal their contents (a bright red super mushroom and a glossy black POW block). Helg cast cherub’s burning blade to conjure a fiery angel blade to his hands. Hekera and Khesen moved out into the room and engaged the dreadful shambling dry bones. The skeletal turtles radiated a palpable aura of fear that shook those around them to their cores. Their bites were tainted with a wasting disease. Several blows were landed on the gray-shelled shambling turtles, but they exhibited a regenerative power beyond anything the team had ever seen. Helg reached deep into his knowledge of the undead and studied them to determine they were immune to cold, resistant to channeling, spell resistant, and possessed damage reduction only overcome by weapons both bludgeoning and good-aligned.
The team failed a number of spells against the dry bones’ spell resistance and although they dealt several powerful blows to them, the skeletal turtles kept recovering from the attacks. Only after Notch defeated the piranha plant, Khesen quaffed a haste potion, Hekera received a bane weapon from Helg, and Claude hit them all with the power of the POW block did things start to go in the party’s direction. The team was finally able to beat the dry bones into a pile of broken bone fragments, but they continued to slowly regenerate. Unable to determine what damage type would negate their regeneration, the team decided to loot the room and flee further into the labyrinth, hoping to put enough distance between them and the dry bones to not be followed.
