Hi, My adventurers just finished 3 faces of evil, it went really well and everyone is having a good time!
Couple Questions
1. They want to sell the talisman of the sphere (greedy, greedy)? How should I handle this? How hard is it to find buyers? How much is it worth?
2. I see a lot of posts about the rod of seven parts? What adventure is this part in?
3. Are there any maps that show Diamond Lake in relation to other cities? They want to know how far Free City is ect.
Thanks

1. Personally, I would try to discourage this. I believe it has been mentioned that the Talisman will be usefull towards the end of the campaign. In my campaign, Allustan (who they had identify the item) told them straight up that it was potentially very powerful and they should hold on to it. Also, the Talisman is a Minor Artifact and would therfore be worth potentially hundreds of thousands of gold pieces. Way more than a low level party should be allowed to have.
2. The first piece of the rod shows up in A Gathering of Winds (adventure 6).
3. This probably all depends on what setting you're running in. In Greyhawk, Diamond Lake is about three days away. The best map of the Diamond Lake/Greyhawk area is in an old 2nd Edition supplement whose name escapes me at the moment (The Player's Guide?). It shows Greyhawk, the Cairn Hills, Diamond Lake, the whole area.

If you've got the 4-part map of Greyhawk that was published in Dungeon then Greyhawk (aka the Free City) and Diamond Lake are in the top-right corner of the bottom-left map -- in between the Duchy of Urnst & the Gnarley Forest. I'm not sure but I think that the bottom-left map was the one from Dungeon 119.

As far as the Talisman of the Sphere goes, it doesn't get 'repowered' until A Gathering of Winds, much later. As a sage, Allustan can recognize it for what it is, but a simple merchant would probably not even know what the heck it does, especially since it isn't particularly useful unless you happen to have a Sphere of Annihilation around. A merchant probably wouldn't want to buy "a piece of junk you found in some old tomb", but a smith might buy it for the raw cost of the adamantine used in making it. This could be interesting if they realize they'll need it later and the person they sold it to agrees to sell it back to them for a few million gold pieces.
