Spiderweb Software released "Avernum" in 2000 for the PC. It follows the story of a band of outlaws, exiled into the depths of the earth. The game features dozens of non-linear quests which the player can choose to pursue or ignore. One of these quests is to reassemble the sword Demonslayer, one of the most powerful weapons in the game, especially against infernal enemies. The sword is divided into three pieces, and once the player gathers all of them together again, he can have them repaired by giving them to Boutell the blacksmith.
