  • Nox Celeste, Swashbuckler Shifter (Alex)
  • Sahbirr, Tabaxi Fighter (Dustin)

Named People and Places

  • The Province of Nemedobur - Declan's adventuring province; a group of dangerously unstable and widely unexplored shards
  • Gantra - A small shard in The Province of Nemedobur. It is covered in swampy terrain, plagued with seemingly endless storms and random sinkholes that drop unsuspecting adventurers into the flooded caved below the surface.
  • Caelus - A peculiar tiefling scientist & a Founding Voyager
  • Isaiah - An anxious human man & a Founding Voyager
  • Jack - A reserved eladrin swordswoman & Voyager
  • Steve McSword - A haughty, arrogant human paladin & Founding Voyager

Major Plot Points

  • The party is brought to Gantra for a precursory exploratory mission during a short period of time where the weather should be mostly cooperative
  • They are part of a team with Isaiah and Steve McSword, while Caelus and Jack lead another team going in the opposite direction
  • With approximately 3 hours of decent exploration time, the party is told to go as far as they can for the first half, then return promptly to the voidship, collecting samples and taking notes on their observations
  • They head off into the swamp, Nox and Klarna keeping an eye out for trouble while everyone else starts investigating the local flora
  • Myrrha and Kip manage to collect some decent samples while Sahbirr is entranced by reeds that make pspsps noises at him, eventually failing to attack them as his feline instincts get the better of him
  • A sample of the reeds is taken too, and the party continues forward for a time until Steve, Nox, and Klarna all pause, Nox shoving Klarna out of the way as a massive creature dubbed the Corpse Conglomerate rises from the swamp along with a few zombies
  • The Conglomerate- made up of mud, plants, and corpses -attacks, and the party manage to slay it and the zombies thanks to Klarna's Spike Growth, but not before it nearly kills Steve
  • Samples are collected until Steve gets an urgent Sending from Caelus that says they need to get back to the voidship immediately, and the weather begins to turn for the worse
  • Kip leads the way forward, having made a map and marked the way, but he does fall into a sinkhole and get attacked by a two-headed crocodile on the way, the latter of which he promptly kills with some Scorching Rays
  • The party make it back to the voidship in the nick of time, Caelus teleporting themself and Jack onto the ship right as the captain tries to fly away and leave the rest of the second Voyager team behind
  • Kip, using his experience flying voidships, manages to buy enough time for the other team to scramble on, helping the captain fly up and out of the storm that threatens to tear apart the ship
  • As they sit in the voidship, they all look out the windows to see a massive tear be ripped into the Aether itself, and Gantra get dragged through it by some kind of mysterious force
  • Myrrha manages to catch Caelus mumbling something about their patron while this happens, but keeps that information to herself for now
  • Silence falls over the ship as everyone realizes that Gantra is now… missing. Gone without a trace.
  • Further investigation into the area shows no sign of where it went, or if it will ever return.
