The Captive Audience, also known as Greagan's Harp, is a instrument that can only be used by Bards. The harp can be used to cast domination on a single target each time it is played (similar to the 5th level wizard spell Domination). The target must save vs. spell at -2 to avoid the effect. It has a limited amount of charges (20) and it will disappear after all charges are used.

It can be bought from the innkeeper inside the Ulgoth's Beard Inn in the town of Ulgoth's Beard. This area is accessible if the expansion pack Tales of the Sword Coast is installed and is included in the Enhanced Edition.

Description[]

Unidentified

This delicately crafted harp has silvery strings strung into a deeply stained wooden frame inlaid with gold. The craftsmanship appears exquisite, perfect, almost inhuman. So much so in fact that even inexperienced fingers playing across the strings seem to strike the most beautiful chords. Oddly enough, there is no visible method for tuning, as if it wasn't necessary. A feeling of awe begins to creep up your spine as you observe all the intricacies of this beautiful instrument.


Identified

Gregan's Harp: 'The Captive Audience.' This finely made harp is well known among the nomadic peoples of the east, though more for the infamy of its owner, Greagan of Lowhill. He was a bard of sorts, though less for his love of people than his hatred of hard work. He bade a mage relation construct this harp so its magic might disguise his utter lack of talent in the arts. Its power was greater than he had hoped, and he later turned to petty burglary using "his" music to captivate his victims. Greagan ultimately disappeared some years ago amidst rumors of a bardic college uncharacteristically moved to violence. The harp still functions, though any self-respecting troubadour would reserve its use for the most dire of circumstances. The magic seems to be waning as well, and perhaps this is one item best lost to time.
