Now all the PC has to do is convince the other PCs to help him (optional), find out where the Caverns are, enter them and find out if the weapon is really (still) there.A noble in a town in the neighboring barony has an item of the sort the PCs want. Now they only need to convince her to give them to it. Of course, times being as tough as they are, there is indeed a "small thing" that a group of hardened adventurers like the PCs could do for this noble...OTOH, I'm unlikely to just drop one into the game (whether as part of a treasure hoard or an NPC's gear) merely because a PC would like to have one, though.But then, if it's more a flavor issue rather than one of powergaming (or even then, possibly, if the PC in question is underequipped for their level), I might change a vaguely similar item that I want to include anyway into one more fitting to what the character needs (e.g., I might change a flaming longsword into a shock longsword or maybe a greatsword into a bastard sword - or maybe even a flaming greataxe into a shock short sword).</blockquote>
