The jade flute was originally owned by Theoric, a dwarven bard. It appears as a normal flute carved from jade with silver fittings. The flute operates in a similar manner to pipes of the sewers, except that it uses subsonic vibrations to summon and control burrowing creatures. When played by a skilled dwarven musician, it summons any such creatures within one hundred miles. The summoned creatures must travel by normal means to reach the flute.
The flute player can command the summoned monsters by making a successful Musical Instrument (Flute) proficiency check. A new check is required for each command given, and if the musician fails the check or stops playing, control is lost. If the player concentrates on a specific type of creature, then only the nearest creatures of that type come to the call.
A successful proficiency check is required to play the flute without calling upon its power to summon burrowing creatures. Only dwarves can harness the magic of the jade flute.
