[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5138559, member: 18701"] Wow, thanks to all of these I pretty much have what I need. That's actually exactly what I had already decided to do with the sword. Seeing as how it is the Orcusword, I figured it needed to be some sort of trick to entice him into rebuilding it. It lost it's original powers before it was shattered, but the PCs found out Orcus is alive and trying to regain his deity status. I've made the Orcusword somewhat sentient, so I figured it can sense it's masters return. Which is why it is trying to entice anyone possessing a piece of it to find the rest of it and repair it. The only thing I haven't thought of is what might happen if the PC does find every piece and repair it. It would rather have Orcus wield it, but corrupting the PC in some seems likely. I just can't think of how to go about it without screwing over the player. I do have a method of destroying it planned out though. Also, I'd like the sword to say one last phrase after finding the last piece. I'd like it to be something memorable & meaningful. Maybe something about it finally being whole again & wishing for it's true master. Something that might make the PC say, "Oh crap, what have I done." If anyone has an idea, I'm all ears (or eyes).
