A gentle evening had taken hold of Greatgaunt and the wider western reaches. The air was cool and the wind gentle. The village had settled down for the evening and the casual observer could see the lights within the village housing diminish as candles where blown out by the sleepy residents. The only noise to break the night air was the chit chat of the local adventuring community.
Dawn soon broke, but something was not right. Where there should have been morning light, there was a large and growing shadow engulfing the village. The local adventuring community sprung to action, warding themselves and preparing for what was coming. As the shadow grew it became more apparent that whatever was creating it was going to touch down south of Greatgaunt. The adventurers ran forth, ready to defend the village.
A large blade slammed into the ground, tip first. Once the dust had settled the blade remained, looming over it's surroundings. As the adventurers surrounded it, a hulking humanoid figured appeared from it. It was not long before one of the adventurers had challenged this figure to a duel.
// This is an ongoing thread around the blade. Feel free to post here what your PC's are doing in relation to it.
//If anybody touches the blade, they would be zapped painfully.

After being so rudely interrupted during her quiet reading in the nearby tavern, Henich made her way to the impact.. to her great surprise, a colossal sword greeted her. Some local adventurers had already arrived and were inspecting the sword, Davice and Logan among them. There, as well as the sword, was a hulking figure, speaking of martial challenges and other cryptic statements. An adventurer also opted to chuck a stone at the sword and her inquisitiveness was rewarded, explosively.
Knowing that she would be no match in a trial of arms, Henich opted instead to examine the runes and magical energies coursing over the blade, noting in her journal the details. Finally, having reached the limits of her knowledge, she left the lone figure of Logan Blake, who stated he wished to guard the sword against tampering, and headed to Suzail to research the meanings held within the runes.
Henich perused the books held within the Silent Room, graciously leaving a handful of coins in the tithe plate, and jotted down notes in her journal. Now in Valkur's Roar, she reviews her notes...

Anyone speaking to the farmer will learn that an armored man in a red cloak was seen walking up to the sword, and placing his hand upon it. Nothing happened.

After witnessing the days events and with a head full of ideas, Henich makes her way to the Silent Room in Suzail, for some additional research. Henich stays in the temple for the better part of the day, leaving a generous amount of coins in the tithe plate.
She can then be seen boarding a cart to Arabel...

*Brianna takes a deep breath after watching all the craziness with Cooper. She looks to Logan and then around as they guard the sword and it's guardian. Each time someone comes by, she tenses. She and Logan have been working with a few to guard the sword and guardian. She wasn't going to be the reason that Logan fails at his task given to him by his god.*
Maybe we need to see if others have found more information on this. Maybe even have others take a shift in guarding.....*looks up at Logan then back around again* Wonder how long we will be here guarding it.

*Finding out about the giant sword as well, Lionar Norah Klender sends word to the nearest Purple Dragon Outpost. The Swordmajor in charge then dispatches some of his men to guard the strange blade and hopefully prevent immediate trouble. She then makes her way to Suzail too..*  //OOC: EDM Ninja helped with the RP |

After an exhausting encounter at the blade to the south of Greatgaunt, a muddy, bruised Henich can be seen being escorted back to Greatgaunt by a friendly elf by the name oF Kiara Moonmist. The elf can be seen leaving the inn shortly and, after a few hours, Henich may have been seen, slinking out the front door and back in the direction of the blade...

Logan is again out in front of the sword, asking Helm if positive energy might help fix the blade. Logan prays for a long time trying to find an answer to this latest mystery of the blade.

After an hour of prayer Logan denotes a crack in the blade and applies healing to it to see if the crack heals itself, Unsure if it will help he starts with a minor crack and uses just a simple cure light wounds spell and will check back latter.

Logan leaves the scene of the giant blade after speaking to the sage, Goes to the Helmite church. There Logan can be seen fasting and in prayer to Helm all night long. How can one apologize for an action of his own god in this Role of the Prison to a Man who is wants nothing more than remove the gods themselves? Logan spends all night in prayer.
