The Redeemers Scythe The opposite of the Grim Reaper

1
An extraordinary melee weapon.
Used by Blair Kushu, Created by Zee.
On Legendary Artifact The Redeemers Scythe.

What seemed to be a normal kitty bracelet, cat bell collar, or perhaps something to adorn ears, but soon turning into a large nightmareish looking scythe, an eyeball could be seen between the end of the blade, and the end of the hilt.

This Artifact can be used as a Great Sword/Giant Axe. It is roughly the same size as a Great Sword/Giant Axe but can be collapsed into A cat cosemetic and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Attack by rolling Brawn + Melee, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal 2 Weapon Damage +3 Bonus Damage. The target's Armor is fully effective against this damage.

This item is a living thing. It counts as a Creature when targeted. If destroyed or abandoned for more than two days, it dies and becomes unusable.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Blade Breaker: If you successfully Defend against a melee attack or if an opponent is unsuccessful at Defending against your melee attack, you may break your opponent's weapon.
  • Fancy Footwork: You may move your full Dash distance and attack in the same Round without penalty. You may also split your movement before and after your attack.

This, spear, engraved with scenes of the Wild Hunt, was initially the channel for the powers of a former damned spirit of the hunt, captured and enchained. That being had seen many leaders of the hunt come and go through its “lifetime”. With its taking from that being’s prison, the Spear lost most of its power. It seems to be reclaiming some of its history, however, in consuming the remains of Fae beings (the Fae are intimately intertwined with the history of the hunt, after all.).

One last note: This gift used a trophy from a Contract as the object for the artifact, and that spear trophy had the quirk of being unbreakable. It is completely up to individual GM’s whether they choose to uphold this quirk or ignore it.

During a long night as Allison was walking down a dirt trail, on her way to drop off a package for her Job. As she was walking she decided to take a 'short-cut' through the forest to get there faster and get paid faster.

After taking the 'short-cut' through the forest she would get the feeling that she was being watched and followed, after feeling this for about five minutes she would dive into a thick bush and quickly move behind a tree and begins to sneak through the forest.

As she was sneaking through the forest looking for the person following her she would come across a large creature looking thing only visible due to the moonlight shining just right, as she was following it the creature would quickly turn around and spot her..

After being spotted she would quickly begin running through the forest between the trees, however she would hear larger steps behind her she would come to a wide clearing before turning around spotting the creature again this time turning into a dark green mist as it begins to flow into her bag taking refuge in her bag.
