📘 Session 5 – “The Modron’s March”
Music🎶
🎵 The Modron’s March -
🎵 The Modron’s March (Alt Version) -
[Verse 1]
Through webs they fought in tunnels wide,
Dark silk clung as the Drow did hide.
But not all foes would flee that day—
DeSeth stepped forth to join the fray.
He cast his blades and joined their stand,
As poisoned bolts missed Rigg’s sure hand.
The spiders fell to spell and steel,
And DeSeth asked, “Let’s strike a deal.”
[Chorus]
🎶 March with the Modron, stranger still,
Where logic hums and time stands still.
From stars it dropped with whirs and ticks,
While Rigg swung high and Dino fixed.
Through shadowed caves and fate's design,
The Modron marches down the line. 🎶
[Verse 2]
They followed DeSeth past blood and bones,
Through winding rock and ancient thrones.
But in the dark, the stone betrayed—
A Roper lunged from jagged shade!
Tentacles flew, it pulled in tight,
Till wrenches cracked and flames burned bright.
With grit and spell, they fought as one,
And carved the beast ‘til it was done.
[Bridge]
Then shadows stirred—another shape!
A ticking cube in odd escape.
“An enemy?” Valen cried with dread,
And hurled his flask of oil ahead.
Dino tossed flame with fearsome flair,
But Mono stood, just singed and scared.
From Mechanus, its path unclear,
It beeped and clicked and drew maps near.
[Chorus]
🎶 March with the Modron, cubed and shy,
Not meant to burn, not meant to die.
A lamp, some oil—its intro grim,
Now follows Jinks, though not with whim.
To Mind Flayer dens and danger deep,
They brave the dark, they dodge their sleep! 🎶
[Outro]
DeSeth now walks the path they tread,
With Eilistraee’s light where others fled.
A prison waits with screams and chains,
Where villagers lie in psychic pains.
So raise your blades and spark your mind,
The stars await the bold, the kind—
The Modron marches, ticking on,
And fate shall write where they belong.
[Verse 1]
Through webs they fought in tunnels wide,
Dark silk clung as the Drow did hide.

He cast his blades and joined their stand,
As poisoned bolts missed Rigg’s sure hand.
The spiders fell to spell and steel,
And DeSeth asked, “Let’s strike a deal.”

Campaign: Spelljammer – Homebrew Hybrid
Session Title: The Modron’s March
Dungeon Master: James/Jamie (Sicareus)
Setting: Underdark, beneath the Sword Mountains
🧭 Overview
Session 5 picks up mid-combat with spiders and a Drow from the previous session. As the party fought, a second Drow—DeSeth—emerged from the darkness and assisted them, while the original Drow fled. After surviving the ambush, DeSeth urged the party to follow him, only to fall into a trap himself—pulled into a stalagmite-shaped ambusher known as a Roper. Together, the group defeated the monster and pressed forward, eventually encountering a strange mechanical being from beyond the planes: a Modron named Mono.
Initial confusion led to Mono being mistaken for an enemy—Valen threw oil, and Dino followed with a flaming lantern, fortunately without damaging the construct. With some effort (and spells), communication was achieved, and the party gained a reluctant ally. Mono revealed a map showing the location of a Mind Flayer-run prison and portal, confirming Spelljammer influence and setting the next course of action.
