I swear I've never heard of anyone actually finding Mordenkainen's Sword scroll anyplace in unmodded SOA that is repeatable (i.e. not random treasure from a Goblin, bookcase, chest, etc). So I figured this might be of interest:

In the Underdark, when you visit Carlig at the Duergar encampment (probably shortly after entering the Underdark, as he's not far from the entrance), he's quite helpful. He will even sell you a few level 9 Freedom scrolls and some other decent equipment and scrolls. Well, on my 3rd time playing SOA I decided to check back on the guy while in Drow form. He thinks you are the lead of a Drow war party, and you get an entirely different set of dialogue with him. When you ask him to show you his wares, his inventory, particularly his spell scroll offerings, have changed drastically.

In addition to offering a scroll of Mordenkainen's Sword, the other scroll Carlig offered that I don't recall seeing before anywhere in SOA is Improved Mantle (level 8). Therndle Daglefodd in the Svirfneblin town also seems to have different inventory when you visit as a Drow, but nothing quite as interesting shows up as what Carlig had.

I was able to repeat this under two different parties, so I'm pretty certain it's a genuine find. May be old news, but I've been following this board and have heard people ask about Mordy's sword many times but never heard this as a response. I play with unmodded SOA, with only Baldurdash patches and bonus merchants.
