📘 Session 12 – “Into the Chaotic Deep”

[Verse 1]
On shards of stone where the void winds creep,
We fought the Slaads in the Chaotic Deep.
The cleric’s fire, the warlock’s roar,
The wizard’s gust threw beasts to the floor.

[Chorus]
So drink, my friends, raise tankards high,
For foes we fought and did not die!
A thrall’s disguise, a hero’s leap,
We march along through the Chaotic Deep!

[Verse 2]
The rogue’s great wrench, it swung in vain,
The Githyanki laughed through blood and pain.
A monk in guise, his face did keep,
He wore the hat in the Chaotic Deep.

[Chorus – repeat]
So drink, my friends, raise tankards high,
For foes we fought and did not die!
A thrall’s disguise, a hero’s leap,
We march along through the Chaotic Deep!

🪐 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.

Another Gith?

Dynoth “Dino Roar” Rokos, a Githyanki artificer-fighter, fights with intensity. He wields his glowing Moon-Touched Sword while his Dancing Sword hovers beside him like a silver blur. Across from him, the Githzerai Enlightened braces, fists glowing with psionic force. Sparks of light and psychic shock-waves erupt between blade and strike as they clash with 2 Red Slaad on a narrow floating shard.

Kith’rath – Githzerai Enlightened
