The man started speak; "The seven items, like I said, were once used by followers of Bhaal or was part of their church. This is common whit all items and I also tell littel of their history in additionwhere items were last lcoated along their possible owners.<br/><br/>First item is a shattered sword, a longsword whit mere one foot lenght of the blade left. It ahves golden hilt and crossguard is shaped as grinning skull whit skeletal fingers covering up side of the hand. It was once great magicall longsword belonging to Bhaal devoted assassin called 'Grim' but he died century before his masters demise and his blade was broken in his final duel against a paladin champion of Tyr.<br/><br/>Altough blade had lsoted msot of it's magic it still had intresting influence on people who taked iton their hands...or lived near it. It is probarly the legacy of the Grim and possessing the mysterious sword long time. So the paladin champion taked the shattered sword at temple in Sword Coast, and sended it to Abbey of the Sword. As you know the abbey was overrun near past and the blade was lost once more, but soon a weapon collector, a infamous retired assassin called Kernas 'Bloodbane', bought the blade in black market and added to his personall collection at Baldur's Gate. This far I tracked the blade.<br/><br/>Second item is skull of necromancer, a arcane devotee of Bhaal, who died five hundreds years before Time of Troubles and his skull works as excelent focus to many necromancy spells and it is rumored it haves mysterious power raise lesser undead by will. The skull was at hands of church of Bhaal in Moonsea until their god was slain and then the temple was raided by worshippers of Cyric and now the church of Cyric haves it. Of course the skull was at Zhentil Keep formany years and it was influencial in conflict to elt Cyrist win over banites when Bane died also and so the head prist holded the skull as holy artifact becuase Cyric had succeeded after all Bhaal in single combat so it was naturall Bhaal's servants skull now belonged to him.<br/><br/>But when bane returned and banites started holy war upon cyrist in the Zhentil keep and after banites effectively assassinated the head priest the head priests adept, a quite low ranked follower, snatched te skull and taked on run. I have tracked the man to loiter around Moonsea area, in some small village in Moonsea region but exactly where I cannot be certain. So you need go search all small towns and any smaller communities for him. The skull, altough can be controlled most of the time, haves tendecy raise undead spontaneously and wielder cannot control those undead. So any undead plaqued town is likely source of the skull.<br/><br/>Third item is a simple golden ring whit tear shaped ruby, the ring belonged to head priest of Bhaal and have mostly exchisted as symbol of position of power in the church for three generatiosn until it was lost. The ring is useless now that Bhaal died, but many intresting conflicts and murders have occured around it even after Bhaal died. Firstly the ring's creator, a decent jewel smith, was killed by assassin of Bhaal and taked ring as loot, then assassin's superior wanted it and murdered the respected assassin in greed and taked the ring. The ring was powerfull item and soon the priest rised in rank, until third head priests carrying the ring in the order was killed by his own apprentice but because apprentice was clumsy in the deed and disrespectfull to well respected figure (altough rising rank via assassiantion was doctrine fothe church but the deed msut ahve been performed well) the apprentice becomed hunted by the church and he was tortured to death after capture but the apprentice had already disposed the ring and he never told what happened to it.<br/><br/>The ring was found by orphan in Scardale and when orphan went to town his own drunkard father forcefully taked the ring even if boy intended use sold ring money for as medicine for his sick mother. The drunkard bought whores and ale and he lived two more years, a year longer than his disease killed wife, ironically his own son killed him as revenge and hatred and nowadays is a street thug in Scardale. The ring was bougth by Thayan wizard called Nuzrim Beldar and now he is back at Thay, exacty where I do not know but I think at capital or other big city and donning the ring personally, altough non-magicall the ring is stylish and excelent work and some swear they see small sparkle of red ligth inside the excelent cutted calimshite ruby in the ring.<br/><br/>I kowlocation fo thefour other items but I think these three items should keep you busy until you find them. I report to you trough the message stone the new meeting location near at you when you find the third item and tell location of two more items, and after that I tell the final two items location afteryou have found five items from the seven in total."
