OSR Commentary Thirteen Parsecs: Beyond the Solar Frontier Rpg By Jason Vey & The Arduin Grimoire rpg - Sky Shark Raid part III

 So the PC's are now off on a sorta of side quest to clear this sky dungeon for the goblin shark riders. What they weren't expecting is that this floating sky dungeon is actually a ruined city floating on failing antigravity drives. The strong upper atmosphere winds take the ruined city where they want to. 


The floating city is controlled by crabmen who worship the King in Yellow. These crabmen have been marooned on the city since they boarded it when the city crossed over the Eastern seas. 
Since then the crabmen have been living quite well as raiders robbing and killing anyone they run across. The animated corpses of their victims acting as back up muscle in their pirate ways. 
The ruined city is surrounded by clouds of evil flying piranha fishes summoned by the crabmen to act as determinant to anyone trying to land on the floating city. 


The goblin sharkmen agreed to take the party to the floating with little issue and they did. They didn't say about keeping them safe from the flying piranha however. And that's where the party's wizard came in very handy using a 'disperse animal' spell scrolls they picked up in the adventurers travels. 
Now the party has to figure out how they can land on the floating city without being detected by the crabmen! 



The players have been scouting around the floating city and its environs tonight. They also almost became a meal for the 'city angels' that were floating around the city. These monsters look like attractive maidens with large gas filled bubbles shot through with rainbow colouring. These things are actually highly specialized predators that feed on the piranha and are actually a form of alien siren. These things use low frequency songs to lure and charm anyone foolish enough to get close to them. The head then splits vertically and a set of double rowed shark like teeth reveal themselves. The players were able to escape their clutches after their wizard watched one snack on a bird.
