Slave finding bowl

Bowl that emits a resonant tone which reveals all nearby humans and Y'm-bhi.

An object created by the K'n-yani to locate their slaves. The bowl is ringed with carvings of Ym-bhi figures, bent and straining as if eternally holding the vessel aloft, their faces frozen in an expression that is neither reverence nor agony, but blank obedience. When struck, the bowl emits a resonant tone that reveals the location of all nearby beings that resemble man in form, hidden or otherwise.

It may be used to find allies or expose Y'm-bhi waiting in the shadows, but repeated use is unwise. The sound carries farther than expected, echoing through soil and stone alike, and the forest seems to listen.
