Game summary for July 22, 2025, Chronoshift: Spelljammer campaign, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Callum Spellhardt (Human Sorcerer played by Parker Harmon), Einar Ormsson (Human Fighter / Unchained Barbarian played by John Osborne), 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), and Hwrulf (Human Unchained Barbarian played by Paul Potter). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team looked around and found a sigil-inscribed stump near the portal. Helg splattered it with blood from the acidscale boggard while trying to remember the ritual words he overheard in another language in the scrying spell. He said “klaatu barada HRMMPHH…” with no effect.
Hwrulf extracted the brain from the acidscale boggard’s corpse and put it in his magical gravemouth. The skull burned with dark necromantic energy, and the eyes filled with blue flame. The item spoke with the voice of the dead boggard and answered three questions. It confirmed the half-dragon did not know how to operate the portal to the Forbidden City and that the Mirelord feared yuan-ti. Finch told the party yuan-ti are cursed serpent people, formerly human, who are shapeshifters and psionicists who typically dwell in jungles. The gravemouth told them how to activate the stump using the Mirelord’s blood and the words “klaatu barada nikto”. The team decided to use the stump portal right away and whisked themselves (without their barge) to parts unknown.
They found themselves at another stump in the swamp guarded by flying half-dragons! The beasts began dropped boulders from above! The team scrambled to dodge the falling rocks until a pair of draco-wyverns swooped down to engage. They breathed lines of acid across the party. Finch was able to help the team finish dodging rocks while Einar charged in and whacked one of the dragons. The dragon retaliated. It stung Einar who was immediately poisoned. It then grappled him and began rending with its talons. Helg channeled positive energy to help heal the injured team. The other dragon tried unsuccessfully to poison Finch. Hwrulf ran after it, swinging away. Hekera moved in as well and cut it down right in front of Hwrulf! The other dragon was hit several times by Einar and let him go. It fled quickly following the direction its brethren had flown off a few minutes earlier. Callum launched an empowered fireball and blew it out of the sky!
The team examined the bodies and healed several of their injuries, including desperately pumping potions into Einar to keep him alive from the horrendous poison! He pulled through, in rough shape, but alive. The team then began discussing heading after the dragons that had dropped all the boulders, surmising they landed about an hour’s walk away. The dragon’s lair?
