💀MÖRK BORG
Rare
A flute carved from the windpipe of a hanged cantor, still humming the last note he never finished.
Properties
- •Melee weapon, deals d6 damage on a strike — the bone mouthpiece bites back for 1 damage to the wielder on every attack
- •When played as an instrument (full round action), all creatures within earshot must pass DR14 Presence or stand paralyzed, weeping, for 1 round
- •On a natural 1, the flute shrieks a note only Nechrubel hears — roll on the Misery table immediately
- •On a natural 20, the wielder's throat seals shut for d4 hours — they cannot speak, scream, or beg for their life
Special Ability
Once per day, the wielder may play the Gulletsong's final unfinished note. All enemies within 30 feet must pass DR16 Presence or flee in blind terror for d4 rounds, convinced they hear the sound of their own funeral rites. However, the wielder permanently loses 1 point of Presence each time this ability is used — their voice flattening, their words meaning less and less, until finally they speak and no one turns to look.
GM Only — Hidden Secrets
The cantor whose windpipe forms this flute was silenced mid-hymn during the Third Psalm Purge — he knew a true name of one of the Two-Headed Basilisks and was executed before he could sing it. That name is still trapped inside the flute. A character who destroys the Gulletsong (shattering it) releases the name audibly — anyone who hears it must pass DR18 Presence or immediately suffer a vision of the exact moment and manner of their death, rendered in perfect, mundane detail. The Meatriarch's choir has been searching for this instrument for years, not for its paralysis properties, but to retrieve the name before someone accidentally speaks it aloud and unravels what little prophecy still holds the end in orderly sequence.
