You call on an ancient friend of your people to assist you in scouting the dungeon.
Daily ✦ Elemental, Summoning
Minor Action Ranged 5
Effect: You summon a Tiny earth-friend in an unoccupied space within range. The earth-friend is an ally to you and your allies.
The earth-friend lacks actions of its own. Instead, you spend actions to command it mentally, choosing from the actions in the earth-friend's description. You don't need line of sight to the earth-friend to command it. When you command the earth-friend, you and the creature share knowledge, but not senses.
When the earth-friend makes a check, you make the roll using your game statistics, not including temporary bonuses or penalties.
The earth-friend lasts until it drops below 1 hit point, at which point you lose a healing surge (or hit points equal to your healing surge value if you have no surges left). Otherwise, it lasts until you dismiss it as a minor action or until the end of the encounter.
