No a Tyrfang went out at the table I judged as well. To an elorii staff fighter who was essentially just carrying it to bring it up.

My table got a Tyrfang too

As my primary character plays the lyre, can you share details on it?

Thanks!

Lyre: This lyre was once a finely crafted instrument, but now all its strings have been cut. Anyone who picks it up feels an overwhelming desire to repair it. (This Legendary lyre, named Curse Bearer, grants both +3 to Perform (Playing an Instrument – Lyre) and the ability to cast Bestow Curse, using Perform (Playing an Instrument – Lyre) instead of Arcanum as the affecting skill. If the curse is not sung and a proper caveat included, the caster of the curse will suffer the same effect as they are putting on their victim. Furthermore, if the caster abuses this power (uses it twice or more in a single scene), they will immediately be afflicted by the Black Tongue spell. Finally, the bearer of this lyre gains Oblivious, and Marked Man: Temple of Cadic as a Flaw. This is a Cursed item, and cannot be removed in any normal way once put on.) Repairing the lyre costs 2gc for new strings of sufficient quality.
A Knowledge: (Myths and Legends) (Lo) (TN: 25) allows a Hero to remember a tale of Zantumal the Cursed, a minstrel of ages past whose life was plagued with misfortune due to a terrible temper. Every time he got angry, horrible things would happen to those around him as well as himself.

The only upside to the lyre is the +3 from it being Legendary. I can't think anyone will have a high enough perform to use it offensively. An additional flaw to it is that it effects you if you get angry I believe.

I bet Pauls character would have enough ranks.

Yikes! As a tier 1.6 character Vincens I sincerely doubt I had enough ranks to make good use of it currently. Honestly, that's irrelevant. As a faithful follower of the Church of Cadic, Vincens would have turned himself over to the Church (and I my character to Tony) as soon as the adventure ended. I'd be figuring out which of my various character ideas I was going to play next. Glad I missed it.

Why does the lyre grant marked man church of Cadic? How do the Cadician even know?

It's an artifact They probably put it here, so they'd know when it leaves.

Just because WE don't know what it is, doesn't mean THEY don't know what it is. . . Similarly, just because they didn't know where it was, doesn't mean they don't know WHAT it is.
