having never played any of the former Wizardry games, I was ignorant of this particular sword. I read this thread, and Earlier today, I got it! LOL It was in the queen's chest in the rapax castle. I was just seeing of making the King mad was worth it, and the BC was the only thing worth the whole thing, and it wasn't worth pissing them off. LOL There are enough of them things to kill in the away camp. Just thought I'd post that I did find the BC in Wiz 8.
