πŸͺ Campaign Arc

    Campaign: Spelljammer Session: 15 Dungeon Master: Sicareus Setting: Astral Desert Plane β†’ Portal Route to the Underdark

    🧭 Overview

    After a brief rest and recovery, the party followed Rook Varrek through a portal leading to a harsh, desert-like astral plane β€” a crossroads realm where Rook maintained access to multiple other portals, including routes into the Underdark.

    Moments after emerging, the party was ambushed by a Neogi raiding force. What followed was a brutal, multi-round shipboard battle against pirates, void hunters, and a Neogi captain, ending in the discovery of a shattered Neogi spider-ship and valuable astral loot. With wounds tended and resources spent, the party pressed onward toward the Underdark, greeted by a disturbing, sickly-sweet scent as the session ended.

      βš”οΈ Session Highlights

        Party ambushed immediately after exiting the portal by Neogi forces Enemy composition: 6 Neogi Pirates, 2 Neogi Void Hunters, 1 Neogi Captain Valen opened with Fireball, dealing heavy early damage Leydrick was dropped by a double critical attack early in the fight Valen revived Leydrick in the following round Rook Varrek consistently dealt high damage with pistols and rapier Valen flew out to confront a Void Hunter directly, then Thunder Stepped back to the ship A Void Hunter was finished off by Leydrick after Valen’s repositioning play The final Neogi was killed by Valen with a low-damage Eldritch Blast β€” just enough

        🎭 Key Scenes

          Valen & Void Hunter: Valen flew out from the ship toward a Neogi Void Hunter, smirked, then detonated a Thunder Step to escape back to safety. Leydrick’s Fall: Leydrick was struck down by a devastating double critical, forcing immediate triage under fire. Final Shot: A battered Neogi staggered under a pitiful Eldritch Blast β€” and still fell.

          🧩 Ongoing Threads & Plot Hooks

            Rook’s knowledge of astral portals and Underdark access remains largely unexplored The damaged Neogi ship suggests a prior, unknown conflict in the area The sickly-sweet smell beyond the Underdark portal hints at a new threat ahead
