This amulet, carved from a piece of moonstone, bears the relief of an owl on one side, and a symbol resembling a pair of wings on the other. It hangs on a chain of silver, and the eyes of the owl seem to shimmer with a life of their own.
Owl's Insight: Once per day, the wearer of the amulet can activate the owl side to gain the sharp vision of an owl. For the next hour, they gain advantage on Perception checks that rely on sight, and they can see up to 60 feet in dim light as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. This ability doesn't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Owlbear's Strength: The owl side of the amulet can also be used to summon a spirit owlbear once per month. When summoned, the spirit owlbear appears and fights as an ally for 10 minutes before disappearing. The owlbear obeys the commands of the amulet's wearer. After using this ability, it can't be used again until the next full moon.
Jarnathan's Belated Arrival(See spell 'Jarnathan's Belated Arrival for more details): Flipping the amulet over to the wings side and activating it summons Jarnathan, the aarakocra member of the Absolution Council. He appears in a fluster, apologizing for his tardiness and completely baffled as to how he arrived. He remains for 1D4 rounds; offering his aid as best he can despite his confusion, before being whisked away once again. This ability can be used once per week.
Cannot Be used by those of "Lawful" alignment. If Jarnthan is summoned with a Lawful alignment; he will leave in a huff as its clear he isn't needed.
Notes: Advantage: Perception, From the well-thumbed pages of 'Elminster's Compendium of Curious Curios', the famed sage and wizard details the peculiar origins of the Amulet of the Nocturnal Aristocrat: "In the annals of magical artifacts, few inspire as much bemusement as the Amulet of the Nocturnal Aristocrat. Its origin is steeped in a blend of divine intervention and mortal misadventure, a tale that is as amusing as it is peculiar. As the story goes, Erevan Ilesere, the elven god of mischief, found himself captivated by the antics of mortals during one fateful night. He observed a group of adventurers making an audacious escape from Revel's End, using the noble aarakocra councilor, Jarnathan, as an unwilling accomplice. Jarnathan's exasperation and bewilderment, the audacity of the escape, and the sheer chaos of it all left Erevan in stitches. In his amusement, Erevan decided to immortalize that farcical event. He crafted an amulet, imbuing it with a fraction of his divine power and the essence of the key players. From the nocturnal owls that silently observed the scene, he drew forth the power of keen sight. From the wild shaped owlbear, a creature both wild and majestic that found its way into the bemusing circle of those hapless adventurers that so caught Everan's eye, he drew forth the power of temporary protection. And from Jarnathan, the unwilling hero of the hour, Erevan crafted the most unique power of all. He bound Jarnathan's essence to the amulet in a way that allowed the wearer to summon him. But, true to Erevan's mischievous nature, the summons never came at a convenient time for Jarnathan, and always seemed to pull him away from some important task or pleasure. And so, the Amulet of the Nocturnal Aristocrat was born. A trinket that embodies the whimsy and chaos of that one fateful night. A tribute to the humor found in the most unexpected places, and a reminder that even the divine can't resist a good laugh now and then."
