SE hasn't arrived yet because they neither have a plan(trying to let the players work that out amongst themselves, and while one's been proposed only one person has actually offered their feelings on it) nor know that the UMMA is there.

One would assume it would be preferable for the bad guys to show up once we're done setting up defenses, not while we're discussing it. Besides, it's character time, and all Dante has done since showing up here is make a pizza in a kitchen. The actual UMMA mission doesn't even know he's here yet.

It's only preferable for the good guys for the bad guys to wait. Ideally the bad guys would strike immediately, before UMMA defenses are ready.
You know, like thinking people do.
I'm surprised that Ilya hasn't taken an interest in the Sword of Gith, too. And the NWN2 intro shows properly what it actually looks like. XD
I am not jealous that you noticed a katana, nope.

I blame seating arrangements. And now to decide what the Archer nerfed version does.
But it's a lot more mechanical then it looks, and if Ilya-Archer's abilities are similar to canon Archer she can't actually trace mechanical things.
<Snipped quote by Flamelord>
Of the katana, or the Silver Sword? ... not sure that Archer could trace a tens of thousands of year old weapon made out of stuff from the astral plane. @_@
<Snipped quote by VitaVitaAR>
She traced a chair. Somehow I don't think that counts as mechanical.
<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>
She might, if it isn't a Divine Construct (I don't know enough of the sword or setting to judge right now, so forgive any mistakes.)

Well, it's ancient, made from stuff from a place time doesn't flow by a non-human psychic magic warrior guy, is a functioning key to the realm of the God of the Dead, killed something that was otherwise impossible to kill, and apparently a frog made entirely of chaos once wanted to steal it and started a war. And this is just what we know it's been involved in.
I was thinking about how tracing involves replicating an item's entire history. Miiiiiight be a bit infeasible when it's this ancient.
