Game summary for September 23, 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 Preston Harmon), Helg Ingvar (Aasimar Cleric played by Chris Harmon), Piper Quickstep (Human Druid-Mage played by John Osborne), Skree Grizzlehide (Mongrelfolk Gladiator played by Peyton Harmon), and Ursay (Mongrelfolk Slayer played by Paul Potter). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The group continued through the caverns and came across another bugbear patrol attempting to ambush the party! Einar noticed the bugbears slinking in and alerted the team! The deadly bugbears swarmed in with their sword spider companions. The spiders stabbed and bit, but only Helg was envenomated. The majority of the initial attacks went against Helg, which forced him into a tactical retreat. Callum was badly injured by a spider as well and used dimension door to get out of immediate danger. Piper cast several protections around himself and then unleashed disintegrate and quickened stone discus. Einar got tripped and ended up tripping a bugbear as well. However, the flanking monsters slew him on the ground.
Skree’s inability to be flanked kept him from suffering a similar fate. He was able to brutally injure bugbears while Ursay planted multiple arrows into enemies. Callum cast multiple offensive spells, including fireball, lightning bolt, and Dalamar’s lightning lance. Piper made him even more effective by cloaking him in greater invisibility before summoning twinning mad monkeys himself. The bugbear blade priest closed in on Helg as the rampager pressed in on Ursay, driving them down a narrow channel. One of the sword spiders jumped up on the rocks and began driving his spear-like blades down into them. Helg grabbed Ursay, and both rolled under the spider as Helg called down a flame strike right on top of themselves! Protected by the enormous spider, they laughed with delight as the holy flames burned their enemies to death. Although it was an extremely tough fight, the party did prevail!
