2. Silver Sword

This small room is furnished only with a table against the end wall, upon which lies an unsheathed sword with a shining silver blade. The table, and indeed the floor, are quite dusty, and you see no sign that anyone has stepped inside or touched anything. The sword looks clean, though. If the sword is touched, it springs to life and attacks whoever touched it. The weapon has an AC of 16 and falls to the floor inert if struck. It has an AB of +4 and does 1d8 points of damage on a hit. If the character who touches it does not expect it to attack, the sword surprises on 1-4 on 1d6. If the offending character leaves the room, the sword returns to its place on the table; it will do the same if the offender dies, or if all characters leave the room (it will not pursue). If struck down it will reanimate in 2d8 turns and try to return to the table, flying away at 60' per round and attacking any creature that gets in the way.
