🪐 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
<image>
Leydrick stands on a jagged floating shard in Limbo, raising his holy symbol as Sacred Flame pours down in radiant fire. A Red Slaad reels back, its wounds seared shut by the divine light.
Rigg's Leap
<image>
Rigg lunges forward across unstable stone, his oversized wrench crashing down in a sneak attack. His face is tense with focus, the void swirling behind him.
High Jink's Attack
<image>
High Jinks, unleashes twin beams of Eldritch Blast. The crackling purple force arcs across the void, slamming into a hulking Slaad on a nearby shard.
Valen's Wind
<image>
Valen Pyre, human wizard in a crimson coat, braces against the winds of Limbo. His coat whips dramatically as he unleashes Gust of Wind. A massive Red Slaad is thrown backward, teetering at the edge of a floating rock. The void stretches endlessly behind it, fragments tumbling away.
Another Gith?
<image>
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
<image>
A disciplined warrior-monk from the chaos plane of Limbo, Kith’rath wields devastating unarmed strikes infused with psionic force. His calm, calculating nature hides beneath a sharp pragmatism—he tests strength before granting trust. He revealed himself as an ally against the Slaads. Using the party's Hat of Disguise to impersonate Dino and later a Mind Flayer in their future infiltration plan.
🧠 Power of the Mind
Creatures within Limbo can manipulate the chaotic plane itself through sheer willpower and focus:
-
Move Objects:
As an action or bonus action, make an Intelligence check to move a visible object within 30 feet.-
DC 5 (Tiny), DC 10 (Small), DC 15 (Medium), DC 20 (Large), DC 25 (Huge or larger).
-
On success, the object moves 5 feet +1 foot per point above the DC.
-
-
Alter Objects:
As an action, make an Intelligence check to reshape a nonmagical object not being worn or carried.-
DC 10 (Tiny), DC 15 (Small), DC 20 (Medium), DC 25 (Large or larger).
-
On success, the object changes into another nonliving form of the same size (e.g., stone into fire).
-
-
Stabilize Area:
As an action, make an Intelligence check to stabilize a sphere of order centered on the creature.-
DC 5 for a 10-foot radius, +5 DC for each additional 10 feet.
-
On success, the stabilized zone resists Limbo’s shifting chaos for 24 hours, or until this ability is used again.
-
Kith’rath, the Githzerai Enlightened, revealed the strange discipline of his people in Limbo: the ability to impose will upon chaos. With a calm focus, he demonstrated how thought alone could shift the battlefield.
-
He stabilized the floating shard beneath the party’s feet, preventing it from drifting apart into the void, creating a calm sphere of order in the storm.
-
He showed how an object could be moved or reshaped by sheer mental focus, lifting stones with no hands and briefly altering one into a burning ember before returning it to stone.
-
He explained that this ability is not limitless — the further one pushes against Limbo’s chaos, the greater the strain of concentration.
The party realized that these powers could mean survival in a plane where even the ground itself betrays them.
🧵 Ongoing Threads & Plot Hooks
- Ambush plan: infiltrate Mind Flayer ranks disguised as peer and thralls.
- Shrak’talor Temple ahead — its true nature and alliances uncertain.
- Illithid and Slaad threat continues to deepen across planes.
