Salvation Sphere - Turns away skeletons

“Squee, as I say, climbed the mast. Gerrard, seeing the little goblin in danger, went after him. The skeletons swiped at the captain, but Squee, who clutched the Salvation Sphere, an artifact for which he’d developed a peculiar attachment, accidentally activated it. Its gentle glow suffused both Squee and Gerrard, and the skeleton attacking them hesitated and turned away. Evidently the Sphere could stop the skeletons. The other creatures gave way before Gerrard as he carried Squee, who carried the Sphere, and the ship moved quickly away from this dangerous place.”
