Hi Jake:
As far as the
and i have that sword i pulled from the rock that says there is a strange aura comming off of it....
You should have put the sword back in the stone, if not the guardian is freed
and will cast a spell killing innocent people including the Elven Village folk.
When you frist remove the sword you kill the guardian, they quickly put the sword back in the stone before he comes back.
It sound like you could benefit from a walkthrough.
I found some at db.gamefaqs.com
