Orc Chief's Throne - Spelljammer

This adventure is designed to be used as a bridge between the free Spelljammer Academy on DND Beyond and the Light of Xaryxis adventure that is included in the Spelljammer: Adventures in Space book. If the players know they are in a Spelljammer campaign they will be itching to have their own spelljamming ship as soon as possible. For me, following the two mentioned adventures did not fulfill that desire in a timely fashion.

Completing this will give PCs an opportunity to start the Light of Xaryxis with their own spelljamming ship, as well as give a clear path that leads from Spelljammer Academy into Light of Xaryxis.

It is recommended for a party of level 5 characters and can ideally be completed in a single session.

On the River Rauvin in the Sword Coast, 8 githyanki had established a secret outpost several years ago to gather intelligence on the region. A tribe of orcs discovered the outpost and their spelljamming ship, slaughtered the inhabitants and fortified the area for themselves. Not realizing the full potential of the ship, the orc chief Ogak had the spelljamming helm set up in the keep as her throne.

Even without the flying capabilities, the orcs now have access to a fast, tough ship with several siege weapons. The orcs are using it very effectively to raid along the river.
