Amulet of the Abyss (Magic Amulet)

On the Prime Material Plane, an amulet of the Abyss is indeed rare, but it is an item commonly worn by honored guests when traveling through certain layers of the Abyss. The amulet consists of a 36-inch silver chain from which hangs a disk of tooled adamantite about 3 inches in diameter. Some type of identifying mark is placed on the amulet's front, and its inscribed back (in Tanar'ri) bears the name of the wearer and the areas to which access is allowed. Amulets usually radiate magic and possess a strong aura of evil.
The amulet enables the wearer to summon Tanar'ri aid twice per day. At the wearer's option, it may summon 1d6 manes or 1-2 dretch. All summoning is done indirectly through Arzial, a baron serving under Graz'zt, and is subject to possible denial. If approved, the summoned creatures serve without question and remain for 3d6 hours or until dismissed. The summoning requires 1d8 rounds, depending on the speed of the baron's answer. Summoning may be performed only by evil persons with knowledge of the correct idiom and pronunciation of tanar'ri names. Any neutral PC attempting to summon creatures suffers 1d10 hp damage per attempt. Any PC of good alignment suffers 3d8 hp damage, and there is a 10% chance of attracting the attention of Arzial. The amulet may be used to communicate with Arzial directly, once per month, with two questions per contact. The answers received are not always correct, and Arzial dislikes frequent contact.
