Perly was still fast asleep in bed, lying neatly with both hands clenched. There was no telling what she was dreaming about.
Renato woke from his meditation. He was still wearing his full suit of plate armor, its weight pressing down on his shoulders until they ached.

Its 1.2-meter length makes it suitable for both a one-handed grip and two-handed slashes. The blade was forged by a master of the Blacksmiths' Guild, alloyed with orichalcum, and repeatedly folded and hammered at high temperatures.

Increases damage by 1d3 and greatly reduces wear on the blade's edge. Magic Weapon: This weapon is magical and can overcome damage resistances and immunities that require a magic weapon to penetrate. Requirements: Strength 13 (11 when wielded two-handed) Rarity: Uncommon
