The helm crashed and the hammership soon followed. "By the Immortals! What is that thing?" Captain Halav stared at the incredible sight as the small wooden vessel fell into its gravitywell... DM Briefing: The PC's, having ventured into Spelljammer Space encounter the Starship Warden, a fifty mile long, twenty five mile wide, 8&1/2 mile thick derelict (and potential Dungeon) adrift in the Phlogiston. |

Every crewman could see the years of their own existance layed out before them. Buuuuuummmm! The sound resonated through nothingness and echoed in the bones of every member of the crew. "How in the Nine Hells does it do that? There isnt any air between here and there." "Dont know, dont want to know." Captain Denek looked from his second at the Helmsman. "Evasive course. Take us clear of it..." The helmsman struggled to comply as the terrible mass pulled at the ship. DM Briefing: The PCs encounter a large one cubic mile black stone deep in the Phlogiston. Within one mile All experience the unusual phenomena of being able to see their entire life flood to the surface of their memories. Comming into contact with the Cube, the vessel is propelled forward or backward through time by any thing between one year and a hundred. Effectivly a second ship would see the first ship touch the cube and vanish. |

Den Kurtis watched as the wave of fire radiated out from a single distant point and expanded furiously. It closed the distance with terrible speed. "Fire!" one of the crew spotted it. Den pulled up a prismatic sphere and was engulfed in the wave as his hammership disintergrated around him. DM Briefing: A ship transporting some truly powerful explosives detonates in the flow. The shockwave catches any passerby inflicting terrible damage to ship and exposed crews. |

It was a strange looking derelict of iron. "Bring us up along side and prepare a boarding party." The hammership slowed to one quarter. Metal shutters lifted and the alarm sounded. "Its a Trap!" The Ironclad ran the cannons out. "My god they are mad. Get us out of here." The Captain was screaming to the Helm when the Steam Cannons fired broadside and ripped the hammership in half. "TweeeT!" The Sound of a boarding whistle sounded. DM Briefing: The PCs encounter a derelict Ironclad. This is simply an ambush, and the PCs soon find themselves hostages of Steam Age Pirates. 5. The IronClad Citadel (The Ironclads Part 2) Syler looked at it as the pirates pushed their hostages onto the deck. Even from this distance it looked gnomish with the great steam engine bellowing steam to drive the great wheels in an effort to resist the flow. "Take a look children. You will spend the rest of your life stoaking its boilers." "Thats insane, it should explode in the flow..." The Pirate laughed. "Not this one. We have mastered the flow." DM Briefing: New Steamtech has fallen into the hands of Pirates. They have built a steam powered port in the deep Phlogiston somewhere between the crystal spheres. Here the great citadel and ship building port is turning out new steam powered ironclads and steampowered cannons that can be used in the flow itself simply with a heat metal spell. |

The giant strained to hold the world. He could only imagine the panic on the surface of the planet." DM Briefing: The starbeast Atvar has fallen ill. In the near future he will not have the strength to hold the world. The PCs could try to cure him, find a starbeast without a world to take his place, voluntarely turning someone into a starbeast to save the world, help evacutate the best and brightest, .... |
