Scroll of the Death Servant (Magic Scroll)

This is a scroll that always detects as non-magical. It reads, "for you, the greatest gift of all." When the character reads the scroll, he or she feels a chill and then a warmth drifts across his or her back. Unknown to the character a death servant has just merged with his or her shadow. Invisible to all, it travels with the character until he or she is about to receive a fatal blow or means of certain death for which the character has failed a saving throw.
Then the black, shadowy form will push the character to safely and take the death stroke intended for its master. Once the death servant has done this, it dissipates in a cloud of black vapor.
