- The vorpal sword does not exist in Secret of the Silver Bonds. It's just a
- red herring. Now a vorpal sword does exist in Pool of Darkness (part IV of
- the series, Secret of SB is part III)
-
- As proof, I broke out my hex viewer (Norton's Disk Edit) and looked for the
- vorpal sword in the internal weapon list. It wasn't there. Nor was there a
- message about xxx being beheaded. Both of these strings appeared in Pool of
- Darkness (in their programs.)
