Matron Mother Seal with Tracking Orb

A Retriever with one of these is on a mission. You just better hope you're not the target.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The Matron Mother's Seal 

Corresponds to a particular Retriever controlled by the Matron Mother's house. The Seal can be activated by a Drow wearing the Tiara of the Matron Mother by speaking a secret word, usually found in the Matron Mother's Book of Secrets. The Retriever will follow any order related to retrieving an item or creature located in the Abyss. If the Retriever is sent to the lair of a Demon Lord or if it runs into a powerful demon on its journey (25% chance), it does not return and the seal becomes nonmagical. Otherwise, the Retriever returns with the item or creature in 1d4 weeks.

The Tracking Orb

A creature holding the orb can make a DC 20 Intelligence (Arcana) check. On a failure, the Orb is indecipherable. On a success, the creature learns the direction and distance of the Retriever's Quarry if they are on the same plane of existence, and the location of the Retriever's master.

History

Each Matron Mother has their own house seal. Their seal has been granted power and favour from Lolth.

Significance

A Retriever that has been given a seal with a tracking orb is given the highest respect as it means that their mission and quarry is in line with Lolth's desires and wishes.
