*Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)*
While you wear these boots, you can use a bonus action and click the boots' heels together. If you do, the boots double your walking speed, and any creature that makes an opportunity attack against you has disadvantage on the attack roll. If you click your heels together again, you end the effect. When the boots' property has been used for a total of 10 minutes, the magic ceases to function until you finish a long rest. This item is found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. These oxblood boots once belonged to a quickling archfey, and remnants of his Signature Magic, the Quickforce, still empower the item. Once an ally of Count Zurenkov, he was cut down and his domain taken when he refused to surrender the Quickforce to Zurenkov’s crusade against the Owl King. When the boots are activated, black, bat-shaped lightning crackles from them when the wearer moves. When wearer rolls initiative they can hear echoes of the anguished whispers of the original owner, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn’t incapacitated:
