[QUOTE="Jedi_Solo, post: 4222347, member: 40245"] Sure, the king MAY be interested in purchasing the +5 Sword of UberKewlness but there is no way strangers would be allowed to see the king with a weapon (which is kind of required in this situation). In a world with high magic (as evidenced by the fact the +5 Sword of UberKewlness exists) it is highly unlikely the strangers would be allowed in the same room as the king and the sword even if the sword is only held by the captain of the king's personal guard (who knows what that sword is capable of). More likely, the PCs announce they have the sword and ask if the king would be interested. The PCs are then met by the someone from the royal guard (for security reasons), a royal advisor (to speak for the king's interests), a castle blacksmith (to examine the sword) and a castle wizard (to examine the magic of the sword). Then of course, with an item that expensive, there will be an investigation to make sure that the PCs didn't murder anyone local (or anyone important to friends of the kingdom) to get their hands on the weapon. Who knows how long all of that will take, and then the King may eventually decide to not buy the sword. They can go through all of that (and maybe even get nothing in the end) or get 20% right now.
