[QUOTE="randomling, post: 1540028, member: 8432"] Hmm, lots of cool ideas here. Whistle - my thought is that it's one of many similar-looking whistles which all play subtly different notes. It's the harmony (plus magic of course) that opens the gate, although this is a legendary-magic sort of world, I'm not making magic available to the PCs, not yet anyhow. Haunted house idea might be really cool if they go on another "whistle" mission, decide to keep the whistle, etc. :) I was thinking of placing the whistle in the house of a noble who, yes, lets his pets (maybe dogs rather than cats) wander the house for intruders. Probably be asleep if they do a night raid. The noble's wife is dead, and the guy himself deserted the Alexandrites (evil Church for whom the "client" is acting) and took a whistle (morality attack?). I'm thinking that the whistle itself will be around the neck of the noble's sleeping five-year-old daughter - is that too cruel? [/QUOTE]
