This set of pan pipes is made of hollowed-out reeds lashed together with sturdy vines. Somewhere on the surface of each reed is the symbol of Olidammara.
When you play these pipes, you gain a +5 competence bonus on Perform (wind instruments) checks if you are chaotic neutral, neutral, chaotic good, or chaotic evil.
Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection, you can attempt a DC 25 Perform (wind instruments) check each round that you are playing the pipes. If you succeed, every living creature within 30 feet must make a successful DC 16 Will save or be affected as if by a confusion spell, with one exception: Whenever the die roll calls for the subject to attack another creature, the subject instead makes a mildly amorous advance (such as an embrace or kiss) toward the target creature. For each affected creature, this effect lasts as long as the piping continues (a standard action each round) and you are within 30 feet of that creature at the end of your turn. If your playing is interrupted, or you fail a Perform check and then resume piping with a successful check, every creature within 30 feet can make a new save attempt. Subjects that successfully save are immune to the pipes of frenzied revelry for the next 24 hours.
To use the relic power, you must worship Olidammara and either sacrifice a 5th-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and at least 9 HD.
Lore: These pipes were originally created by a secretive order of bard/clerics devoted to Olidammara. For the past several centuries, members of the order have distributed them to musically inclined followers of the deity (Knowledge [religion] DC 15).
Rumor holds that a satyr named Elovan came into possession of a set of these pipes and used them to woo a fair princess while she was on a picnic in the woods with her court. Since then, members of that nation’s royal family have occasionally displayed odd physical quirks, such as unusually hairy legs and vestigial horns, as well as an unusual aptitude for music (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).
