I have to brag...sorry!

We just finished a session of 2nd ed AD&D roleplay. We're playing Night Below, a massive Underdark based adventure. My character, while fairly powerful has ended up with the short end of much of the gear until now. My character - an Elf Ranger had been feeling that we should be travelling up a particular passage. The party had gone along with this. We lost our gnome cleric to a battle with 16 hook horrors. Nasty things for not much xp. After the battle we left our dead comrade to explore hoping for a treasure littered lair. No, we found a Rakshasa - a nasty tiger being nigh on immune to magic. The fighters had a big trouble hitting it and the wizard was useless. Thankfully the cleric had a scroll that summoned 3 grizzly bears that tore the Rakshasa up. Not before he reduced the other cleric to -8 hp and the wizard and two fighters to below 10hp (We're all around level 6 - 7). Well, after healing and resting for a few days we found in the Rakshasa treasure stash about 35,000gp worth of jewels, cash and trinkets, a spell book and scroll. Best of all was a bejeweled longsword. We got the gnome resurrected eventually and the cleric who di it was able to help us find what the sword did - my sword!

Longsword +3, +4 vs drow and aboleths, +5 vs kuotoans. Detect invisiblity, magic and secret doors constantly in a 10ft radius. Once per day it casts strength on the wielder lasting 18 hours and as a special effect it makes the wielder immune to confusion cast by kuotoans, casts confusion on kuotoans hit by the sword and will not stick to a kuotoan's body. Its also intelligent and talks to me and can converse with others in drow, kuotoan and common ;D

This is without a doubt the best magic item i've ever found in twelve years of roleplaying!!!!

[sniffle] I'm playing an epic monk at home... with the vow of poverty.... I can't even own a masterwork robe. No treasure for me. [/sniffle]

Congrats yo, that's a good item to have if you'll be in an area to take advantage of it. We're in the underdark and have only fought the kua-toans once (in 21 levels), so that item would not be as useful for us. That and it's 2nd edition, so undoubtedly they fixed it to a +1 dagger in 3.5. (those bastards!)

heheheheehhe we played Night Below once before and ended up doing all manner of things other than the quest. It started as looking for a kidnapped girlfriend of a local peasant and has ended up delving into the Underdark tackling evil for the Svirfneblin. i know for a fact there is a LOT of kuotoan and drow beasties to fight.
