Starker:”Let us put the sword pieces next to each other and try to effectuate a repair. Then the giant below us will likely come to life as a grateful companion and help us destroy the lich! Or, if not, something else very interesting and edifying might happen. Come, friends and colleagues, it will only take a few moments if you put your backs into it!”
Hold, Starker — I’ll lend my strength. But tell me— with that keen mind of yours, is there not some cleverer way to free it? A lever, perhaps… I fear we’ll strain our backs long before we crack the stone otherwise.”
Kragen turns to Chadwick as he appears to be staring off into the cavern. “”Sir Chadwick, you can pine over the Lady Stormrider later, we have work to do, stay focused.”

Examines the shard and carefully hands it to Starker.
Any idea about the nature of this thing? Might be good for trimming Kragen's beard... Unless you have a better method for extrating the rest of these bits, this may be all we should take for now. Considering our time constraint. So much as we would like to wake the sleeping giant, who may accidentally be friendly.
stalker puts the spider monkey on top of the mind flayer skull at the end of his staff. He raises the staff as high over his head as he can, and then closes his eyes, transferring his sight to the spider monkey’s eyes. He then draws the shapes of the pieces of the sword still amended, and then taking the loosened fragment in his hands, starts to examine and ponder the significance of this odd archaeological find.
Starker is able to sketch an approximation of the broken sword and nearby cracked hand. The sword does not appear to have enough fragments visible to recreate a full sword. The piece you have freed up is a large piece. It approximates the size of your previous colleague Hoid's great sword. The hand appears to be a complete hand, though cracked in several places. Your presence in the room is somewhat unsettled by the incessant thrum of energy. As you search about and become more used to the feeling it seems to be originating from the cracked face further into the natural cavern.
Chadwick snaps to with the chiding from Kragen. He mumbles an apology then goes to investigate the cracked face.
Investigation-17
/Ooc I'll be flying tomorrow and spending a week in New Orleans. I'll try and keep up, but if play starts to linger feel free to crowd source Chadwick.

<Starker moves the smallest piece into what looks like the right place next to a larger one to show willing.>
The pieces of the sword are all embedded into the stone. One of the larger pieces appears to be able to be removed according to Xymox's evaluation.
(( Sorry that I was not clear in my description earlier. ))
Starker, lost in the puzzle of it all:”Hmm. Perhaps I can soften the rock with Fire?”
<Casts Firebolt at ground containing the smallest piece, then tries to move piece wearing leather gloves.>
STR check = 10
Starker's noodle arms do not seem to be up to the task. Cyrus pantomimes "putting your back into it" in help to Starker.....
Did firebolt soften the ground at all? Worth doing more?
It seems that was helpful. A stronger arm may find success where Starker’s did not. His contribution to the effort would be the product of his brains.
Trolkarl will aide with Starker’s efforts.
Hold, Starker — I’ll lend my strength. But tell me— with that keen mind of yours, is there not some cleverer way to free it? A lever, perhaps… I fear we’ll strain our backs long before we crack the stone otherwise.”
Starker:”I can soften the earth, and then I think any of you might succeed until we get to the hilt.”
<Fire Bolt ad libitum>
The combination of fire and Trolkarl’s brawn succeeds is pulling a large shard from rock.

”Yartol, keep watch please.”
Yartol nods to Kragen and assumes a watchful pose, swords drawn.
The remaining pieces of the shattered sword are firmly embedded in the rock of the cavern. You have removed one large piece with a razor sharp edge.
Examines the shard and carefully hands it to Starker.
