Other events came up and we decided to sell it since it was worth more than the rest of the treasure we had at that point and couldn't be split. We got a bunch of money and another magic sword out of the deal. Turns out the other magic sword was a cursed sword of berserking and any time initiative was rolled, it teleported into my hand and I attacked until all enemies were dead, even after the sword was broke. The sword we sold was so special that one of the members of the council of wizards we sold it to ran off with it throwing the city into civil war. Luckily, we still got enough money out of the deal to get the curse removed and hire the mercs we needed to free another kingdom from viking raiders.I rarely put cursed items into play as a DM except as parts of evil intelligent creatures treasure. There will often be a poison potion labeled Cure Light Wounds in with the rest of the creatures properly marked potions. Perhaps a nasty ring or helmet too. All put in with treasure where they would only be found and used if the person who put them there had been killed an has his stuff taken. A final bit of vindictivness against theives or murderers.</blockquote>
