Semaphore of Slanders

This semaphore set consists of two hardwood poles painted white, with finely crafted silk flags bisected by yellow and red fields. A tiny stylized black serpent with its tongue extended is depicted on the top outer corner of each flag. The semaphore of slanders, in addition to being a functioning semaphore set, can be used to send false signals to any enemy forces observing the signaler, providing a +2 item bonus to Deception checks to do so, and allies are always aware of this ruse.
