So, I have a task that I need your help with! First off this is a mid-magic fantasy setting, with a mild Call of Cthulhu horror vibe. Spoiled in case they read this post, which I kinda doubt.
I have a character who just collected a magic item from an (evil) NPC to use as a communication device when they locate the BEG.
However the device is secretly a large bomb which will probably kill both the player and the BEG ( or so the NPC hopes)... My plan is to place enough hints in and around the world so that the player realizes the terrible danger they are in. If they don't get it, then hilarity ensues. I just need a name for the item to start that hint process!
It looks like a grapefruit sized rock that is light for its weight and has a "Lightning " Rune carved on it. The Rune Glows and the rock hums slightly. There is a code word to activate the "communication," and the item can only be used once.
I only need help with the name, the rest is already falling into place. Thanks in advance for helping me to start some fireworks...
