| Hazard | Psychic whispers; anti-magic bridge |
| Part of | Underdark |
A massive chasm in the mid-Underdark, spanned by a 20-foot-wide stone bridge covered in glowing runes. The runes warn against flying, magic, and most critically: listening to the voices.
The Psychic Bridge
The bridge is laced with whispers that attack each person who crosses psychically — probing for weakness and compelling them to step off the edge. Multiple party members failed their saves during the crossing:
- Othorion failed and walked off the edge
- Others followed, overcome by predatory psychic urges
Lolth, a drow priestess who identified herself as Lolth's prisoner queen, appeared and rescued the entire party — returning them unharmed to the bridge. She then requested a favor.
The Crack and Lolth's Abyss
At the base of the chasm — visible through the crack the party fell toward — is a rift connecting to the Abyss. Lolth's domain is accessible through this crack. The party briefly glimpsed the Abyss, the spiderweb-wrapped realm of the Spider Queen, before being pulled back by Arachne.
Threads
- What favor does Lolth want? Has it been paid?
- Did the party's brief Abyss exposure leave any lasting effects on Othorion or others who failed saves?
- Arachne called herself Lolth's prisoner — is she truly imprisoned, or is she a piece of Lolth's will?
