Luciean Copper Golems

As seen in

A Hunter's Mark

The Automages owned by Lady Luciea is known for it's capabilities of mass-producing magical beings to be used by the masses of nobility and powerful. One of the most successful beings made by the guild is known as the Luciean Copper Golem. Within the South Pole of Aitso, the Copper Golem is a powerful, yet expensive, force to be reckoned with when it comes to the feuding guilds and countries. Lady Luciea, the Guildmaster to Luciean Automages has a personal duo of prototype variations of these golems positioned in her former guildhall within Dallbert. The model that was used at the end of the existence of Luciean Automages before it dissolved. Since then, many guildless individuals have been looting them from abandoned warehouses. Functional Copper Golems are hard to find but do provide to be a dangerous foe. 

The most advanced model had been given golden alloys along with reinforced steel throughout the chasis and armour. These golems were hardest to destroy and had no apparent weaknesses. Even flames provided no effectiveness to the golems as one of their most recent additions by Luciea herself was sprouting flames from the palms of these constructs. The flames escape in a vortex and are capable of turning weak materials like wood and flesh to ash if given direct or prolonged exposure. Also, due to it's metallic composure, the Copper Golem has a method for containing lightning and to redirect it through a compartment in it's chest. It takes a lot of energy to do so and with excessive use can prove to be one of it's weaknesses. Use of both lightning and fire at the same time causes a Copper Golem to self-destruct. 

Prototype

The initial designs by Lady Luciea have no gold. It is only copper and dull iron, with a focus on brute strength. She initially designed them to be used as bodyguards for her journeys to The Grand Plateau on business. Each choice is to handle Fire Giants and other gargantuan beings. The Original Copper golem was in one of her warehouses for years before she would enlist Valarys to add noxious modifications to it, to be used against both of their enemies for when she'd begin initiating her Grand Plan. Physical strength was the key belief at this point, and they had the capabilities to destroy small buildings with just their fists. This strength was discontinued in later designs in favour of elemental prowess. Sanguine Morris, a member of the Automages as Luciea's advisor and favourite servant, has consistently tried to convince Luciea to make more of the prototype for himself due to his under-average strength. 

"Destroy them. If they arrive here. Or anybody else, if they don't wear my insignia. But keep quiet, surely you lot can do that too, can you not?"

- Lady Luciea, giving orders to her prototypes. 

Copper Golems are not sentient. They only follow orders given from those determined by an insignia worn by higher-ups of Luciean Automages. They have passing moments of intelligence and use standard ideas from magical tomes on strategy. Regardless, constructs are unable to understand difficult practical problems and holds no chance on solving anything that requires the complexity and knowledge, both academically and socially, that humanoids hold. Lady Luciea believes that giving them a consciousness or higher intelligence would prove harmful. Warforged prove to be bad soldiers, according to her thoughts. Still enough, she finds it irritating and aggravating to have to deal with them doing stupid things in the heat of battle. They can handle simple tasks and key-words like 'fight', 'stop', and 'sleep', as well as a few more. 

Before Dallbert's destruction, two of the bodyguards for Lady Luciea were tasked with keeping anybody from entering or leaving the guildhall. They were positioned in the Foyer, on either side of the staircase within the end of the room. Once members of an adventuring guild had entered, they would attack, confirming their previous suspicions on Luciea, the Guildmaster, having manipulated the party into letting a madman escape Carceri in order to be used in her schemes would plan for them to investigate her guildhall once she abandoned it. Although, the four adventurers showed themselves to be more than capable and would dismantle the golems.
