Just then, the sphere will begin to break up.<br />

The magic that was holding it together ended<br />

when Ilkif died. In one full turn, the sphere<br />

will break apart and even the shards will eventually<br />

fade away.<br />

All around you the sphere begins to shake.<br />

Ilkif s bubble seems to be collapsing. The<br />

floor and ceiling begin to crack. Pieces of the<br />

outside wall begin to break off and fall into<br />

the lake below. The sphere begins to tilt to<br />

the right. It can only be a matter of a few<br />

minutes before the entire sphere shatters.<br />

The lake is a short drop beneath the sphere.<br />

The large broken pieces of the sphere will remain<br />

solid long enough for the characters to<br />

float to shore, if they work at it. The wooden<br />

Aftermath<br />

When the PCs return to shore, Snotme the<br />

pixie appears and asks: “What happened to<br />

Ilkif?”, “What happened to the sphere?”, “Got<br />

anything good to eat?” Snotme may (or may<br />

not) join the party as an NPC.<br />

If the PCs return to the hamlet where they<br />

met Ansanther, they find the town in an uproar.<br />

They are accused of kidnapping and possibly<br />

the murder of the beloved priestess.<br />

If they flee the town without an explanation,<br />

a bounty will be placed on their heads. If the<br />

swordbearer draws the holy avenger, the<br />

newly-created sword Ansan tber will speak to<br />

the people and tell them of her plan to protect<br />

them. Following the speech, a brawl will erupt<br />

between two factions of townspeople. Half are<br />

grateful, and half believe the party forced her<br />

to do this. The burgomaster opposes the party<br />

and argues to gain the sword for himself. He<br />

will rouse the rabble as much as necessary to<br />

achieve his aim. Run this situation as chaotically<br />

as possible, especially if Snotme has<br />

joined the group.<br />

Unless the characters take decisive action,<br />

Mercres arrives with his new spell and turns<br />

the burgomaster into a slug. He is promptly<br />

acclaimed the new burgomaster by the people,<br />

and the party can leave with the sword.<br />

Ansanther will then start lobbying for her<br />

partner (not owner) to find Xenous Zenpor, the<br />

mage who cost her sword arm when she was a<br />

paladin (and the DM should pick a suitable<br />

location for the next adventure).<br />

Ansanther, the Holy Avenger<br />

Ansanther, Holy Avenger: AL LG; I 14,<br />

E 18; Speaks common; Primary Abilities:<br />

detect evil, locate object.<br />

If the sword is used in the following adventure,<br />

“Face of Xenous”, the sword also<br />

possesses the following powers:<br />

Special Purpose: Slay Xenous Zenpor.<br />

Special Purpose Power: Disintegrate.<br />

(Xenous Zenpor is an evil mage who, years<br />

ago, slew Ansanther’s last adventuring<br />

group and caused the loss of her sword arm.)<br />

Ansanther will want the character “most<br />

pure of heart” to carry and wield her. She<br />

wIU use her new powers to the best of her<br />

ability when wielded by a lawful good individual.<br />

She will make her presence and desires<br />

known to the first person who picks up<br />

the sword (though she may be a little dazed<br />

and uncertain of the success of Ilkif s magic<br />

at first).<br />
