The Falchion is the lord's personal and rightful property, won through the spoils of righteous battle. However, the lord is making a poor choice, though he's not evil. As the paladin, I'd notify the branch of my nearest local church, informing them of the whereabouts of the weapon; if they want to work on convincing the lord, so much the better; at worst, if something bad happens, they will be alerted to the presence of the item. Either way, it's out of my and the church's hands until something changes.2. If I can't buy the unholy rapier, and can't convince the party it's worthwhile (say, the church is willing to buy it), then I really can't do anything until I come up with something better. No active evil is being committed with it, and it's at beast unlawful and at worst evil to take the rapier by force. So again, I keep tabs on the item until something better can be done. Being good doesn't mean take actions that compromise your principles in order to right a wrong; it does mean that if you are inconvenienced by a good action, don't be afraid to take it. If the Rapier is used to commit evil, then I've got an opening; if not, I sit and wait for my chance.</blockquote>
