ok, the other night the pc's were facing down a pair of npc's. one of them charged the parties barbarian, who used his unexpected strike power and scored a crit, dealing over 50 damage. the npc failed the fort save and died from massive damage. i want to use this event to turn the barbs sword into a legacy weapon, and i am looking for some good Omen ideas to clue the player on. any ideas?
also, the sword currently has the broken condition due to almost being sundered by the 2nd npc, and tomorrows adventure the mending spell is gonna fail. the wizard gets to tell the pc his swords magic has changed and improved drastically, which is the first clue.
the wizard reveals to the player that there is a nearby volcano in which resides a macguffin which will aid the pc in repairing his sword.
i intend to use the quest to introduce the player to his legacy weapon.
thanks for idears.
Since it is broken I would have it wail as though in pain either when drawn or held or at random times of the day but make it so the bar is the only one that hears the Item in "pain". This should work. When it is fixed have it roar like a lion/bear/dragon whatever fits the theme of the bar or the item
