Night Caller

This whistle is transparent but weighty as if forged of iron, not glass. It resembles a small dragon curled up like a snail.

When a night caller is blown over a grave containing a body in darkness or at night, one corpse below animates and claws its way to the surface. The zombie serves the whistler faithfully until it is destroyed, as if it were created with animate dead. The whistle can be used once per week; however, the whistler can acquire no more than two zombie followers at any one time using night caller.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, animate dead.

Cost to Create: 3,500 gp, 280 XP, 7 days.
