Okay...
Quiet Monday afternoon in Illistim.
Someone found an ogre in the Blighted Forest and after searching it, it left a 'black scimitar hanging unsuspended in midair' behind.
The person that found it begins asking on the net if it is normal. A few people flock to go see the oddity.
It looks AMAZINGLY similar to something I've seen before and recognize it as V'tull's symbol. So I begin digging for information. It is the avatar of V'tull from a cast of divine wrath.
Out of sheer curiosity, I stick around and fling spells from my arsenal at it along with the other people. I try to be subtle and let them know its from DW and maybe it isn't a big deal...and went completely unnoticed. I left and this went off on the net...
[Beryl] "black scim is symbol of V'tull?"
[Weryn] "You want to summon a god over a little sword hanging in the air?"
[Beryl] "eerie feeling I am being watched"
[Faegil] "yep...we do"
[Beryl] "no clerics willing to commune?"
[Touk] "any cleric willing to common with a flaoting scimitar"
Okay so, the characters of Elanthia are in a world where magic is relatively abundant. Where most of those people have witnessed and practiced at making whole armies of undead shredded pulps, visited another world through the Rift...
And they want to summon a GOD because a black scimitar is hanging in the air?
How do they imagine this conversation will go?
"Yes my lord, I summoned you because of this little scimitar here...you see, It is floating!"
"Unsuspended and in the air!"
"And well look at it, it cuts me when I touch it. And I touched it MANY times."
They don't even seem to care WHO they call up! What cleric in his or her right mind would DARE summon a god over a little floating whirly-bobber? (Exclude Zelian clerics)
On a side note: I tried to replicate this with my Andelasian. As far as I can tell, this happened because the scimitar has the unique script to cut people that try to touch it. I'm guessing he didn't code out/in exceptions for creatures or summoned things.
