Lunar Rapier (Patreon)

Weapon (rapier), rare

The dark silver blade of this rapier resonates with a quiet ripple, like the moon's pull on the tide. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, or a +2 bonus if it's between dusk and dawn.

While holding the weapon, you can use an action to teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see. If another creature is within 5 feet of that space, you can immediately make a single attack against it using the rapier. If it's between dusk and dawn, you also become invisible immediately after you teleport in this way, and you remain invisible until the end of your next turn or until you make an attack or cast a spell. Once this property of the rapier has been used, it can't be used again until the next dusk.

The eclipse was always celebrated, despite the hard times they faced. While no one blamed the baron directly, it was clear that the peoples' tension was there. When the moon's glow began to slip behind its dark mask, the town square erupted in celebration—their cheers and torch smoke carrying high onto the wind.

Over the din of the celebrations, no one could hear the choked gurgle of the baron as a thin blade slipped from his neck. As the guards would later recount, they never saw anyone enter the lord's room, let alone anyone with a blade.

A shadowy figure slipped from the baron's window and landed softly on the mansion's manicured lawn. As they returned to the dark and crowded streets, the peoples' laughter would be joined by the soft chuckle of the fleeing assassin.
