We just played the adventure, and I got the impression from the marshall it
was the only large water-tower-like object still standing.  If thats not the
case, then it probably should be.

Meanwhile, how have other people been handling the sword after the adventure?
Our posses was already headed to Boise (the reason escapes me, but I'm sure
it's important :) and the sword will get handed in to simon once we get
there.  Has anyone considered letting the posses keep the sword?  It seems a
little... overpowered to me.  Certainly not teh sort of thing a player should
be using all the time.  It should be saved up untill the end of an
adventure... just like the Super Weapons in cartoon shows (remember voltron?
"Everything else has failed, now we must resot to the giant sword of cleaving
which we couldn't use earlier because it would make the show too short")
