Actions
The assassin makes two Poison Blade attacks.
Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 60 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d4 + 4) piercing damage plus 5 (1d10) poison damage.
Reactions
When an attacker the assassin can see hits the assassin with an attack, the assassin halves the attack's damage against it.
Legendary Actions
The assassin escapes nonmagical restraints and ends the grappled condition on itself, then moves up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
The assassin makes one Poison Blade attack.
The assassin creates a sudden distraction, such as a cloud of disorienting smoke or flash of dazzling light, filling a 10-foot cube within 5 feet of the assassin. Each creature of the assassin's choice in that area takes 9 (2d8) psychic damage, and the assassin has the invisible condition. This invisibility lasts until the end of the assassin's next turn.
