Mechanik’s Union

While a hearty pair of lungs and a metal whistle have served well throughout Immoren to single a crime in the offing, down the years countless good officers have received a knife through the ribs trying to alert their brother officers of the law. Fear no longer accredited upholders of justice, for the science of pneumatics has developed a simple but effective device to save your breath, in more ways than one.

Outwardly unprepossessing, this squat device may look like the bastard offspring of a train pressure release and a oil applicator, but it is both rugged and durable without any fancy frills to get bumped about in unpredictable dashes across rooftops or uses as a last ditch bludgeon. The canister is in fact a pressurized air container, as the small pressure gauge embedded into one side might indicate. It takes mere moments to fill this canister from a working steam compressor and sports  a handy belt clip for hands free use.

Through the quick twist of a ratchet lock lever on one side of the canister (move action, no AOO), the pressurized gas is released through the large whistle on top of the device, producing a loud drawn out shriek, audible for a good half a mile (-20 to the DC of listen checks to hear this sound). A quick pull on the Barnaby and everyone within earshot will be suitably impressed, not to say deafened.
