Golden Bark Dog
A tiny dog figurine woven from gold coins through a magical loom, this was given as a gift by the repentant merchant Nils in The Fey Realm as a penance for his lifetime of greedy deeds.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
Speaking the command word “guard” and placing the dog in the center of a campsite or in a doorway, protects the area as per the spell alarm. If the alarm is triggered, the dog audibly barks with a high pitched yapping. This ability recharges after
one day.
In addition, you can command the dog to go home. The dog immediately creates a Small doorway in an unoccupied space within 10 feet, visible only to yourself and anyone you choose to see it. The doorway opens to an extradimensional space, which appears to be an idyllic woodland courtyard with a tiny dog bed and a basin of water in one corner. The space can hold as many as eight Medium or smaller creatures. The tiny dog enters the space, takes a drink from the basin, and then goes straight to its bed, and can’t be removed from the space.
Attacks and spells can’t cross through the entrance into or out of the extradimensional space, but those inside can see out of the 3-foot-by-3-foot doorway. After 1 hour the doorway closes, and anyone (other than the tiny dog) still inside the space is deposited in an unoccupied space near where they originally entered the extradimensional garden. This ability recharges after one week.
