Full Moons Trick

Also known as Death Bringer

This dagger was originally carried by Daviren Hosk, but was loaned to Pandereos for the Boar Hunt. It was assumed he would be killing goblins along the way. Unfortunately, Pandereos started acting strangely once he took possession of it.
  Saban and Mordecai Thatcher went to Abstalar Zantus(Priest) to access the town archives to research the dagger.

Seer of the Blessed

This dagger gleams with a bright, silvery sheen at night. The grip is wrapped in simple, unadorned cowhide, and the guard is worked into the shape of a pair of wolf heads.   Omen: Etched into the blade is a stylized moon disc, which magically alters to match the actual phase of the moon. In addition, although the blade is polished to a mirror finish, with a simple act of will you can cause it to cloud to a dull, matte gray.    

The Cursed Dream

When folk think of lycanthropes, they visualize a giant, ravening beast or a shaggy, strange-looking man with a single eyebrow or hairy palms. They seldom expect such a monster to be contained within the body of a sly halfling burglar, but the existence of Full Moon’s Trick shows that werewolves come in many guises. Originally carried by the famous halfling Rosie Applecask, Full Moon’s Trick was initially nothing more than a magic blade belonging to a particularly skilled thief. When Rosie had the misfortune to contract lycanthropy on one of her jobs, her strange destiny intertwined with the magic of her sword and the dark workings of the curse she had fallen under. That inter- mingling of magic somehow made this dagger unique.   Originally, the name Full Moon’s Trick had nothing at all to do with lycanthropy—it arose from Rosie’s penchant for performing her skull- duggery on nights with a full moon, despite the fact that the brighter light made her easier to spot. Such additional challenges were Rosie’s way of thumbing her nose at as tall as herself, and left a counterfeit of such quality that the theft went undetected for three weeks. With daring raids such as these, Rosie quickly made a name for herself in the local thieves’ guild.   Rosie’s star was rising rapidly, and she seemed destined for a job at the top whenever the current guild-master retired. (In fact, some said the old man running the show should retire early.) But her meteoric ascent faltered when she tried to steal the renowned Eye of Boccob diamond from a powerful wizard. Exactly how she ended up in the wizard’s menagerie instead of his treasure room is a mystery; perhaps the plans she had studied were outdated or sabotaged by a rival. Maybe Rosie simply made a mistake. Whatever the cause, instead of the Eye of Boccob resting on its plinth, she found a slavering werewolf. Badly mauled, the halfling burglar managed to escape, keeping just ahead of the wizard’s guards. Dodging from safe house to safe house, she struggled to contain the beast within her over the nights of the next full moon. Despite her horror at the deeds she sometimes committed while in the grip of the curse, she nevertheless felt a certain purity of purpose in the actions of the wolf something that could benefit her as a thief.      

Changelings Demise

Rosies luck ran out when the wizard finally caught up with her one late evening. He released his fury in a terrible curse that trapped her in the dagger. Rosie went mad trapped in the dagger, now having a blood lust with nothing to quench the lycanthropy hunger. It’s been said those who wield this dagger become cursed during a full moon, turning into a werewolf. Until then, Rosie will slowly take control of the person wielding this cursed dagger to once again carry out her thieving ways and quench her blood lust.
