Abilities
-	Cast cure light wounds 3/day (1d8+3)
-	Item has 10 ranks in sense motive
-	Teleport Self only (not owner or carrier)

Mentality:
The orb doesn’t take orders from goblins. It likes its personal boundaries. It will not subject to any kind of identify. 
It will teleport itself to a new location when it feels threatened or unconvertible. This generally someone’s backpack or pocket.
The orb will try to influence the carrier every now and then, just for its own entertainment. (Will save 15 for the carrier to detect the influence and discard encouragement. Carrier gains +10 will save against this effect if the encouragement is against its nature. Instant danger auto success both checks) 


'''Bracers of Defenselessness:''' 
These appear to be bracers of armor +5 and actually serve as such until the wearer is attacked in anger by an enemy with a Challenge Rating equal to or greater than her level. At that moment and thereafter, the bracers cause a –5 penalty to AC. Once their curse is activated, bracers of defenselessness can be removed only by means of a remove curse spell.
Extra drawback:  Item continually emits a disturbing sound when its dark around it
Moderate conjuration; CL 16th; Create Wondrous Item, mage armor, bestow curse; Price 1,200 gp.


'''Pipes of the Sewers:''' 
These wooden pipes appear ordinary, but if the possessor learns the proper tune, he can attract 1d3 rat swarms if rats are within 400 feet. For each 50-foot distance the rats have to travel, there is a 1-round delay. The piper must continue playing until the rats appear, and when they do so, the piper must make a DC 10 Perform (wind instruments) check. Success means that they obey the piper’s telepathic commands so long as he continues to play. Failure indicates that they turn on the piper. If for any reason the piper ceases playing, the rats leave immediately. If they are called again within a day, the Perform check DC is 15.
If the rats are under the control of another creature, add the HD of the controller to the Perform check DC. Once control is assumed, another check is required each round to maintain it if the other creature is actively seeking to reassert its control.
Faint conjuration; CL 2nd; Craft Wondrous Item, charm animal, summon nature’s ally I, wild empathy ability; Price 1,150 gp;Weight 3 lb.
