(Verse 1)
Come gather, good folk, let this tale ignite,
A fireball’s roar shook Trollskull at night.
A boy held beads of a deadly chain—
But who pulled the string? What mind, insane?

(Chorus)
So strum the lute, let the tale unfold,
Heroes of Trollskull, brazen and bold!
Eyeless shines with radiant flame,
Captain Mercer plays the shadows’ game.

(Verse 2)
To Gond’s great halls the party sped,
Where brass and cogs marked the path ahead.
Captain John scaled the temple wall,
Slipped not once—no fall at all!

(Bridge 1)
There Nim confessed with gears grown cold:
"I built him, yes—but he broke the mold."
A Nimblewright lost, with fire in hand—
We took the task, by Mirt’s demand.

(Verse 3)
Into the sewers, deep and vile,
The detector clicked—crept every mile.
They found a cult in serpent guise,
Rituals writ 'neath traitor skies!

(Bridge 2)
Eyeless stood where the torches failed,
Wreathed in light, his purpose unveiled.
Dren charged in, maul like thunder,
Struck down foes, tore spells asunder!

(Verse 4)
Captain John, in deadly dance,
Dodged through strikes like fate’s own chance.
Slim Jim mended wounds with grace,
A blur of bandage, charm, and mace.

(Verse 5)
Silas grinned—his boots now charred—
Two fireballs flew from his hand unmarred.
Scrolls we claimed in smoke and fear:
Flaming Sphere, Animate Dead, and more unclear!

(Final Chorus)
So raise your mugs, let echoes fly,
Varrick sings ‘neath Waterdeep’s sky!
Eyeless burns with righteous gleam,
Dren smites foes in every dream,
Slim Jim steadies, Silas schemes,
And Captain John haunts alley seams!

(Outro)
From gears to ghosts, from flame to blade,
The hunt begins, the path is laid.
Trollskull’s crew, in legend steeped—
By fire and fang, their oaths were deeped.

In Waterdeep where sparks did fly,
A fireball lit the morning sky.
Through temple halls and secrets sworn,
A Nimblewright was thusly born.

To sewers deep the brave did crawl,
Where snakes with spells began to brawl.
Steel did clash and spells did flare,
As Eyeless fell 'neath poisoned air.

John struck true with blade so keen,
And Dren fought on with health so lean.
Slim Jim rose and then was floored,
While healing hands and faith restored.

But through it all, with spells alight,
One serpent’s bane stayed out of sight—
Oh Silas, bold, with magic mean...
Was untouched, yet cursed: his boots unclean!*

John struck true with blade so keen,
And Dren fought on with health so lean.
Slim Jim rose and then was floored,
While healing hands and faith restored.

🪐 Campaign Arc

Campaign: Spelljammer: Shadows Among the Stars
Session Title: Into the Chaotic Deep
Dungeon Master: James (Sicareus)
Setting: The chaotic plane of Limbo, floating islands and unstable gravity

🧭 Overview

The party fought for survival in the chaotic plane of Limbo, where Red Slaads and a powerful Githzerai Enlightened descended upon them. The battle raged across floating stone and shifting gravity, but radiant fire, eldritch blasts, and Kith rath’s psionic-imbued strikes eventually turned the tide.

As the dust cleared, the Githzerai revealed his true intent: he opposed the Slaads, and his attack had been a test as much as a clash. After tense words — and Dino’s constant jabs about being the “real hero” — the monk proposed an alliance. With the help of a Hat of Disguise, he transformed into Dino’s likeness, posing as a supposed “champion” who had captured the rest of the adventurers. This would be used to disguise as a Mind Flayer to with the group, disguised as thralls, to infiltrate Mind Flayer ranks at the Shrak’talor Temple.

🎭 Key Scenes

Leydrick’s Radiance
Sacred Flame lit the void, leaving burns that refused to heal — finally halting the Slaads’ monstrous regeneration.

Dino’s Taunts
Between sword strikes and psionic bursts, Dino sneered at the Githzerai, “You hit like a training novice. Watch and learn from a real hero.”

The Shift in Allegiance
The Githzerai lowered his fists at last. “Enough. You have strength. Perhaps we should not waste it as enemies.” The tension broke into wary alliance.

The Impersonation
With a shimmer, the Hat of Disguise twisted the Githzerai into Dino’s image. The mimicry was uncanny, if unsettling. Now, the adventurers would walk willingly into danger — as shackled thralls to their false master.
