"Yes, of course, Xavian. You would know if she were." Yet that fact did little to comfort Ryan, and he found himself keeping a wary eye on the boy.

"This may be something. I'm just checking something out." Curious, draws his own greatsword, and holding it from the top with the tip on the floor in one hand, he picks up the hilt from the mantle with the other.

[sblock=OOC]While he hasn't bitten any of you yet, you certainly suspect that the Count is a vampire, based on what you have discovered thus far.[/sblock]


Both Ryan's greatsword and the hilt in his other hand vibrate in harmony with one another. Blue sparks flicker between them, and Ryan feels the sword and hilt pulling toward one another, like two magnets held close together.

Hmmm...
Ares wanders the room, checking to see if there is something behind the painting before he heads to check the titles of the books and tomes.

"Helga, do you know who that woman in the picture is?"

Ryan sets his sword down on the floor, and places the hilt from the mantle next to its hilt. He pushes them together with his boot, wondering what will happen.

Ares finds nothing behind the painting.

There are hundreds of books in the library, their titles strange and various. Some examples include:

- A Wizard's Manual of Innovative Magical Art
- Lost Sanctuaries of the Gods and Goddesses
- A Revolutionary Examination of the Variants of the Broadsword
- A Dissertation on the Cultural Disasters of Coris
- The Uncommon Areas of Habitation of Dragons
- A Guide To the Development of Bows

Obviously, Ares could spend hours just reading the titles of all of the books housed here, in hopes of finding anything significant.

"Helga, do you know who that woman in the picture is?"

Helga shakes her head at the question, the look on her face plainly indicating that she doesn't have any idea.

The sparks crackle and pop as the hilt comes together with the greatsword, and there is a great flash of light, catching you all offguard. As your vision slowly returns, you can see that the hilt from the mantle has joined with Ryan's existing blade...the clear gemstone within the hilt seems to glow with the light of the sun.

Ky watches the sword meld with interest. "Neat trick, but what does it do now?" asks Ky as he keeps poking around the room."

Ares place the Wizard's Manual of Innovative Magical Art in his Haversack and goes to see what’s going with the magical sword.
Clearly this is a sword imbued with magic from the school of light. A thing the count would happily keep away from the hands of people who want to kill him.

"Whoa. Yes, this must be what the Vistana was hinting at. A potent weapon against, perhaps, a vampire."

Ryan picks up the sword and performs a few practice swings with it.

His smile soon fades a bit as another thought comes to him. "She mentioned other things we need to find as well. I think we had better follow her advice."

"Sure, if you can untwist the hag's riddles. Esme may be able to help with that, she speaks in fortunes and prophecy as well." suggest Ky
