an adamatine golem in the elven city. I saw its spirit drift off with Minsc's second swing of Silversword. I coudn't stop but marvel at it.

What's the most powerful creature you killed with Silversword?

I know what you mean, Lingwiloke: sometimes I'm my own worst enemy. :)

I don't think this matters to crom faeyr anymore, but Minsc killed Firkraag on the first hit the first time I fought him. I was psyched up for a big battle and ready to lose, and then it was over before I even put all of my characters into position. I didn't even get to hear Firkraag bellow, "Time to perish, manling!" The power of the Silver Sword was proven to me that day.

That's pretty impressive, actually. I don't think I've ever scored a vorpal hit on a dragon.

I think I took out a couple of Sendai's statues with a vorpal weapon but I don't remember if it was the Silver Sword or the upgraded Axe of Unyielding.

What really impressed me was that Firkraag had just cast Stoneskin, and the Silver Sword still killed him. In other words, the sword can kill enemies it can't even hit. I could hardly believe it.

Well, the CF can stun opponents and the FoA can damage opponents even if they have a stoneskin spell active. Seeing as stun and insta-kill are both spell-like abilities of a sword, I don't think it's that strange, actually.

Firkraag for me as well. It was the first time I met him actually. I have to confess I was amazed but also somewhat disappointed. I had built all this up to fighting a red dragon and 'Whack'...it was over. I actually saved the game (just in case) and tried it over and over and over... (I did beat him eventually)
