[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 4961454, member: 50987"] This could be the hook for a whole series of adventures. I'm envisioning a situation where the sword has to be found one piece at a time. The Drow slaves' bodies were discovered, and sent to their dark temple to be reanimated as zombies (the Drow would probably see little difference between a Drow slave and a Drow zombie, after all.) While preparing the pile of bodies, the acolytes at the temple found the fragments of the sword. They began to quarrel with each other over who got to keep it. So, each priestess took a piece. Then, after the task of reanimating the slaves, the Drow priestesses went their separate ways. One fragment was made into an amulet...the rare metal from the sword was the final ingredient that the acolyte was missing for her [I]ring of spell storing[/I]. Another is being used as a paperweight, on the desk of a powerful Drow wizard. The tip of the blade was fashioned into a knife, and was given to one of the temple monks as a gift. Another fragment was hammered and twisted into a wrought-iron wand. And the pommel was given as a gift to the High Priestess of Lolth herself, who recognized it and plans to use it to open a gate to the Abyss. To reforge the sword, the PCs will need to find all three (or six, or fifty) pieces of the sword. This should involve a lot of sneaking around, asking questions, and getting into various amounts of trouble. [/QUOTE]
