Helg, Callum, and Adeline boarded the cargo barge, with Adeline piloting, and trailed along behind the party as Hwrulf tracked Aratheas and her captors.  Due to the trees, the barge varied altitude between 20 to 60 feet at any given time.  Hwrulf used his eternal ember as a light source as they moved, which gave them visibility ranging from 20 to 40 feet.  Snagy rode astride Stingy beside the barge.  The team up above made out the shape of a large boar-like lumbering creature heading toward them and warned the party.  Several of the team activated enhancing magic as a wretched catoblepas lumbered through the swamp!  The stench hit the team hard.  The reeking monster was sickening, but Callum and Helg possessed magic items that reduced the impact for them. 

Callum hit the creature with empowered scorching ray as leech hive shambling mounds clambered up out of the muck as well.  The angered catoblepas breathed its poisonous gas across the entire team.  Snagy and Stingy fell victim to the toxin and were forced to land on the barge.  Nearly dead, only quaffing a stardust elixir saved his life.  The shambling mounds hit several of the team, and swarms of leeches slithered free and engulfed party members.  The sucking vermin drained blood and became a nuisance while Hekera and Hwrulf waded into the fight.  Finch was able to provide the group with some information about leech swarms as Helg fired a searing light spell at the catoblepas and dropped a flame strike upon leeches and a shambling mound. 

Callum killed the catoblepas with another empowered scorching ray.  Finch and Hekera tried to climb ropes back up to the barge after Hwrulf and Hekera had slain the shamblers to escape the leeches.  Callum stepped up and wiped out both swarms with fire snake

With the foes vanquished, Helg used every charge from a wand of lesser restoration to patch up the team who were damaged by leeches and catoblepas breath.  Meanwhile, Hwrulf searched the bodies and discovered a pair of gloves of flame, which Callum put on. 

Chronoshift: Spelljammer — Game Session — 134

Game summary for June 17, 2025, Chronoshift: Spelljammer campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Adeline Tormak (Human Magus played by Andrew Renfrow), Callum Spellhardt (Human Sorcerer played by Parker Harmon), Finch Bloodrain (Half-Hobgoblin Slayer played by Peyton Harmon), Hekera Nephera Mawhesk Vyk’sebekenka (Sebek-ka Fighter played by Preston Harmon), Helg Ingvar (Aasimar Cleric played by Chris Harmon), Hwrulf (Human Unchained Barbarian played by Paul Potter), and Snagyndar Blackthorn (Huldran War Master played by Casey Scruggs). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.

Before Hwrulf could begin tracking, monsters emerged from the swamp!  Bizarre croaking crocodiles that moved like frogs leapt from the water.  Frogodiles!  Horrible hybrids with snapping jaws and long sticky tongues.  Behind them came frog-like humanoids.  Boggards, also known as bullywugs.  The first frogodile flicked its sticky tongue and ripped Snagy off the back of Stingy.  It chomped down on him, and he activated his coldfire wrappings to burst into frigid flames and burned the creature.  One of the bigger boggards, a croakbrute, marked Hekera as prey, and the rest of the boggards focused on him.  The croakbrute initiated a devastating charge on Hekera and also inflicted bleed damage. 

Meanwhile, Adeline hit the other frogodile with spell-imbued arrows.  Hekera engaged the foes rallying around him, and Callum blasted the croakbrute with scorching ray, slaying it.  The boggard stalker pulled out its axes and accosted Callum.  However, the spellcaster used a spell to step away from the stalker’s reach.  Finch activated his belt and assumed earth elemental form.  The fen marauder boggards swarmed Hekera while Helg channeled positive energy to heal the gatorman.  Snagy broke free of the frogodile and slashed and bashed with his magical axe-hammer and called Stingy in to engage.  Hwrulf entered a rage and unleashed his wrath upon a frogodile that had attempted to eat Adeline.

Hekera was badly pressured by the swarming boggards, but he kept hewing them down.  Callum used dimension door to get atop the hut for safety.  Helg moved up and cast heal upon Hekera while Adeline continued to rain arrows upon the enemies.  Snagy kept up a brawl with the frogodile as Hwrulf, Finch, and Hekera continued to wear down the foes.  Soon the team defeated the boggards and looted the bodies.
