    Good point... why would Rhoubhe keep it? Not to mention the above, but it
    would have to be a magnet for humans...might as well put sugar on your hand
    and stick it in a fireant mound...

    Of course, he could take the tact of finding a way, some way of using it as
    bait and lead some armies to war. I mean, Tuornen is always a hotspot
    anyway... why not watch a bunch of human armies go to war over it. That
    would certainly spur on Alamie to attack, Darien to force someone's hand,
    quite possibly with armies. If Rhoubhe timed it right, he could lead these
    armies half way across Anuire. Make a regular swatch of destruction, and
    all that. Sow all kinds of seeds of dissent, maybe make a few fakes of the
    sword, and put them in opposing armies hands, and announce he doesn't have
    it anymore. After a season of two of watching several thousand humans die
    at that, announce that one of the countries gave it back to him for
    safekeeping, (which can't possibly help their diplomatic affairs) and go on
    another stroll. And of course, with all that war, it's obviously a good
    time for the Gorgon to maybe see the newest trees of the Sielwode and
    Tuarhievel, just to really tick every race on the planet off--quite
    possibly at the PC's who Rhoubhe would no doubt laud for their commendable
    gift. :)

    If I was Ruobhe, I might either give it back to them (because I don't want
    avanil, boeruine, etc. unifying for the sole purpose of kicking my ass!) or
    I might keep it a secret and sell it to the 3ed most powerful anuirean
    faction (Ghoere) to create more political chaos in Anuire.

    we'll technically The sword of Roele is a Dwarven artifact while they made it
    anyhow come to think of it I'd Say the dwarves whould have a intrest in it "To
    make sure THEIR gifts are only given to the worthy" (plus it whouldn't hurt
    them to have so much political power.) any power whould won't it weather or
    not they wanted the throne cause then they could pick a puppet ruler.

    Kyle, thats absolutely evil! I love it! But then, I have also been
    accused of being a massochist and I love any plot that sends old Stony
    rampagin across the land.

    I've not read the Sword of Reole adventure (if that's where this is coming
    from), but that whole plotline that everyone has expounded upon sounds like
    allot of fun.

    On the issue of the Manslayer's uses for the item, who says he even has to
    really have it? Perhaps just the rumor of it, with enough "credible"
    witnesses and sources would be enough. Rumors and Red Herrings are allway
    lots of fun, especially when some of the players seem to be deluded into
    the opinion that whatever the DM tells them is true (?)

    Certainly a valid point. Rhoubhe's been around for over 1,000 years and has
    become a master of more skills than Avan and Boeruine put together.
