Skull of Vindictive Augury - custom item

[ThomasBJJ]

Here's another item my players may find in the next game:

Skull of Vindictive Augury:

Description: A very battered human skull etched with an indecipherable script, possibly not a language at all, but a decorative design resembling obscure writing.

Powers: Once per day, a yes or no question can be asked of the skull, with the results equal to a 6th level Augury spell.
There is one difference, however. The answer is ALWAYS the opposite of the true answer when the spell is successful. Furthermore, the skull channels the spirit of an evil extraplanar entity who is trapped in some forlorn prison somewhere in the multiverse. The skulls power compells this entity to answer, always in the opposite. Other than that, the entity is free to word the answer how it sees fit. Oftentimes shreiking the answer aloud and filled with profanities; "YESSSS!!! YESSS!!! Do it you you ****ing skum-eating b*st*rd!!"

The item detects as evil but has no other harmfull effects.

Again, can someone help me price this item?

I'm not near my books - but this is just too funny. I'm stealing it at some point!

Thanks PC.

I envision that the first few times the players use it out in the field where some stealth is in order, that the skull will shout as loudly as possible, giving away thier position. Or in the relative privacy of thier room at the Inn, only to have thier neighbors hear all mannor of awful things.
