RRH07 - Rock Bottom

Rock Bottom is the seventh session of the campaign Red Right Hand. In it, the party explore the Stone Crevice and find an extremely dangerous and powerful weapon.

Summary
The party, having fallen deep into the Stone Crevice, tries to use the Grav-Clamp to return to the surface. However, it was damaged in the fall, so they have no choice but to just explore the cavern. They meet some drow nobles, who call themselves The Cult of the Black Core. They do not appreciate trespassers and attack the party. Glade displays some powerful magic, and the group dispatches of all the drows. A large bug-like creature called a 'tunnel brute', though chained up, remains. Eptol and Glade try to calm it down, and Resmi tries to blind it, but eventually they just sneak passed it with the help of Resmi's spell 'forbid action'. The party finds a wishing well for the goddess of fortune, Desna, and Resmi and Glade drop some gold in. The party continues, traversing some dangerous traps including torrents of falling sand and disappearing floors, before finding a skeleton with another memory crystal.

The voice of Yarsa speaks once again, saying that the drows killed most of her team, and that the 'weapon' is more of an anomaly. She urges any who find the crystal to turn back. The party continues and finds the room of the weapon, which seems to be a floating black orb of some kind. Guarding it are drow warriors and minotaurs. Glade turns into a whirlwind, and the team defeat the group of guards. The party examines the orb. It is a Sphere of Annihilation, a dangerous artifact that destroys whatever it touches. Anyone with enough mental prowess may be able to move the orb, albeit slowly. Ovar and Malachi manage to move it, and they bury it underground so that nobody may try and take it and use it for evil. As the Cleavers leave, Eptol also finds a magical holy longbow in a chest. Those in the party that can fly help the others get back up, and the party gets ready to travel onwards.
