Questing Blade

The questing blade is Ricky's fireman's axe, and it glows when he uses magic UC E1·00:55:31. At the chantry, a glass case has painter's tape marking where "your questing blade shot out" UC E1·01:02:36.

The questing blade is Ricky's axe, which glows when he smites, and Brennan calls it the questing blade of the paladin UC E2·00:55:04 UC E4·01:03:21. It speaks for the first time in Hell's Kitchen: "This is a wicked place. Ricky—" UC E9·01:08:23. It later says "Sire, the time has come for action" and "Cleave true, brave firefighter. Flex your pecs" UC E10·00:46:11 UC E10·01:46:47.
