Call Dinosaurs (Priest Spell)

==Powers & Pantheons==
Through this spell, the divine aid of Ubtao is invoked and manifested through the actions of dinosaurs of Chult (the Children of Ubtao). When this spell is cast, a dinosaur or small group of dinosaurs is compelled to come to the caster at top speed and act in a way to help him or her. This spell summons a single gigantic or huge sized dinosaur or an individual or small group of smaller dinosaurs, at the DM's discretion. The dinosaur (or dinosaurs) is not under the direct control of the caster, but it does do what the caster verbally or physically indicates would help him or her, provided it is following the will of Ubtao. The priest cannot specify the type of dinosaurs who will come to his or her aid- that is left to the will of Ubtao (the DM decides).
This spell serves as a sort of minor divine aid to the casting priest. For instance, if a fighter in the priest's care fell into a swamp or river and was drowning, this spell might summon a large water-dwelling dinosaur to pull, carry, or lift the fighter out of the water. If the priest were tied up, it might summon a small group of rat-sized dinosaurs to chew through the bonds. If a group of ivory hunter s had camped within Chult and killed a number of dinosaurs for their teeth (something patently against the will of Ubtao), it might summon a gigantic carnivorous dinosaur to wreck the hunters' camp and savage them-or it might summon a group of tiny dinosaurs to eat all their supplies and carry off their goods, forcing them to leave Chult and return to their homeland.
Dinosaurs summoned by this spell do not attack their summoners. When the single, immediate task for which they were summoned is completed, the dinosaurs retreat back into the jungle and resume their normal animal behaviors. Note that summoning dinosaurs to aid in protracted, vague, or abstract plans, such as "to drive all foreigners from Chult or "to kill all evil men in this village" does not work. The dinosaur or dinosaurs arrive, but then become agitated and leave after no direct, immediate actions are put forth.
Any priest of Ubtao who abuses this spell by summoning dinosaurs in order to facilitate a hunt invariably suffers a gruesome, painful death in the jaws of a dinosaur for violating the divine intent of the spell.
The material component for this spell is th e priest's holy symbol.

When this spell is cast, a dinosaur or small group of dinosaurs is compelled to come to the priest at top speed, and act in a way to aid the caster. This spell summons a single gargantuan- or huge-sized dinosaur or an individual or small group of smaller dinosaurs, at the DM's discretion. The creatures are not under the direct control of the caster, but they do as the caster verbally or physically indicates, provided this is also the will of the greater Power that rules them. The priest cannot specify the type of dinosaur summoned—that is left to the will of the Power (the DM decides). If there are no suitable dinosaurs in range, the spell fails.
