The Sunken Statue

You plunge deep into the water! While collecting the offerings you hear a dull echo and you're struck by stones! Once you surface, you see that the old statue had crumbled due to your disturbance; physical and spiritual.

You wrest the sword out of the statue's hands and the whole thing crumbles apart! It's too dangerous to pick up whatever was glittering at the bottom of the pond now... Inspecting the sword, you sense an incredible dormant power within.

You spot an aged statue half submerged in a pond; its hands gently rest atop a stone sword. Something is also glittering at the bottom of the pond. Votive offerings perhaps? You could really use some money...
