[QUOTE="Aeric, post: 2704338, member: 17012"] In RttToEE, we had interpreted some text to mean that the key to proceeding to the Inner Fane was hidden in this floating black orb we found. So we convinced the less-than-wise half-orc to stick his hands in the orb and feel around for the key (or gloves, or whatever it was supposed to be...I forget). The half-orc touches the orb and disappears. The DM takes his player into the other room to tell him what happened. Since the half-orc had been transported to another plane by a magic trap a few sessions prior to this one, I figured that must have been the case here. So I touched the orb. I disappeared, and the DM took me into the other room. After I came back, the elf archer decided that both I and the half-orc must now be trapped in another plane, so [I]he[/I] touches the orb. And disappears. And goes in the other room with the DM. Turns out the black sphere was a [I]Sphere of Annihilation[/I], and the three of us were disintegrated. I'm still a bit bitter about that, since I was playing a Wizard with 24 Int and didn't even get a Knowledge (Arcana) or Spellcraft roll to get a hint that this might be something deadly. [/QUOTE]
