Flight of the Phoenix – Game Session – 006

Game summary for November 29, 2012, Flight of the Phoenix Spelljammer campaign; present PCs included Amothar Skyblade (elf fighter/mage), Moto Patton (giff myrmidon), Orophin Calafalas (half-elf bard), Zirin (dracon swashbuckler), Zorn Seregon (psionicist) along with Callisto (fighter/psionicist), Elaina of Ptah (cleric), and Safana bent Anwar (sorceress).

Surrounded by wraiths, the team lurched into action!  Orophin began singing and drumming to inspire the party while Elaina used prayer.  Zorn disintegrated one of the undead while Safana conjured a sand lion!  Callisto held her ground while Amothar used his girdle of the frog to leap over his allies and attack a wraith!  Elaina then turned one of the undead.  Amothar used his deadly harpoon to put the third to rest.

Callisto then whipped open another door to find the captain’s quarters.  Moments later, the spectral form of Captain Gutshank appeared and began draining levels!  Amothar used dimension door to enter the room while Orophin wiggled in and unleashed five magic missiles!  Safana assumed wraithform while Callisto and Zorn engaged in some psychic warfare with the undead.  Finally, Amothar’s harpoon laid the undead captain low!  The team looted the room, finding lots of gold and silver booty and some cones of communication!

The group then rushed down the narrow hall into the helm room and found all the wraiths Elaina had turned.  Orophin led the charge with his axe followed by Amothar and his nasty harpoon!  Elaina advanced with her mace and smashed the magical weapon into one wraith, destroying it.  Within moments, the team had cleared the room.  With the ship cleared and equipped with a lifejammer helm, the team abandoned the vessel and destroyed it with flaming magic from a distance.

A few days later, the Pisces reached the Crystal Sphere edge of Greyspace!  Captain Robilard gave them some warnings about limits on teleportation, extra-dimensions, and the explosive nature of the Phlogiston before moving through the portal into the Flow.

A day or two into the Flow, the group ran into a massive dust cloud fouling their air!  This potential disaster could spell trouble with few places around to re-supply air.  As the sailors cursed, the ship rocked and reverberated as a huge slab of stone slammed into the side and ran along the vessel.  On this slab lay a single treasure chest and huge stone statue.  As the team crossed over to the slab, the stone statue turned to look in their direction!

Flight of the Phoenix – Game Session – 005

Game summary for November 8, 2012, Flight of the Phoenix Spelljammer campaign; present PCs included Amothar Skyblade (elf fighter/mage), Moto Patton (giff myrmidon), Orophin Calafalas (half-elf bard), Zirin (dracon swashbuckler), Zorn Seregon (psionicist) along with Callisto (fighter/psionicist), Elaina of Ptah (cleric), and Safana bent Anwar (sorceress).

As the party approached the edge of Greyspace, they came upon a drifting old eel ship named The Scourge.  Calliso used dimensional walk to stroll over and discovered the ship had fouled air.  She returned using teleport and brought Orophin and Zorn across to the derelict.  The three ventured down into the cargo hold where they found a wraith!  The undead level drained Orophin and Callisto before Zorn destroyed it with disintegrate.

The team pushed further into the ship, found the galley and an old pot filled with human bones.  Then, another wraith emerged!  The group fled and used teleport to return to The Pisces where they picked up Elaina and Safana to assist after debating destroying the ship for a while.  Elaina was able to turn the wraith, and the group moved further into the ship.  They found the helmsman’s old quarters along with a small fortune in treasure and a spellbook!

Soon thereafter, they found the crew quarters.  Much to their horror, three wraiths emerged around them!
