Magic Items of Equestria, Part 5

BEAST CALL

Wondrous item, uncommon

    This rather large whistle is about the size of a kazoo or smoking pipe. Typically crafted of soapstone or wood, it is usually carved in the shape of one of the animal types it’s associated with. Once per week, you can use your action to blow the whistle, which sounds like the call of the beast it’s about to summon. In 1d4 rounds, one or more beasts of the associated type are magically summoned and appear within 30 feet of you. If the whistle has already been used within the last 7 days it makes no sound when blown.

Any beasts summoned are initially neutral to you and others nearby, though you may be able to convince them to help you perform some task. If summoned into combat, beasts seek to protect themselves first, either by fleeing or attacking, depending on their nature. The beasts remain for 1 hour or until reduced to 0 HP, after which they are magically returned to wherever they came from (at full health). The exact type and number of beasts called is determined randomly each time it’s blown. The following types of beast calls are known:

• Bear: 1d3+1 black bears, 1d3-1 brown bears, or one polar bear.

• Bird: 2d4+2 blood hawks, 1d4+2 axe beaks, giant owls, or swarms of ravens, or 1d3-1 giant eagles or giant vultures
