Clockwork Footman - Clockwork 1 1
UNCOMMONWHITEMEDIUMCLOCKWORKCONSTRUCTMINDLESS

This four-armed, human-sized clockwork Automoton   Since clockwork engineers can’t always be present to make sure their devices are working at full capacity, the clockwork footman was invented to serve that role. Clockwork footmen excel at repairing themselves and other clockworks on the battlefield, proving useful for skirmishes and campaigns alike. Rumors of clockwork footmen with magically imparted intelligence persist among explorers of certain strange ruins—while no smarter than the average human, such “awakened” clockwork footmen have skills and feats as appropriate for their station, and are said to serve in more complex roles than mere repair workers

Special Abilities
  • Additional Limbs a clockwork footman has four arms and three legs; these additional appendages grant them a +2 circumstance bonus to Grapple and Trip checks
  • Net Launcher (Uncommon, Clockwork, Consumable, Gadget) a clockwork footman can launch a net from its shoulder. The launcher itself can contain up to five nets—When you activate the launcher, it fires an unattached net requiring only a single hand, and at a greater distance. As normal, you make a ranged attack roll against a Medium or smaller creature, but you can target a creature up to 60 feet away, instead of only 20 feet away. The net trap otherwise functions as an unattached net.. Some clockwork footmen are outfitted with masterwork or even magic nets, although the clockwork footman presented here is armed with standard nets.
  • Net You can attempt a ranged attack roll against a Medium or smaller creature within 20 feet. On a hit, the target is flat-footed and takes a –10- foot circumstance penalty to its Speeds until it Escapes, and on a critical hit, it's also immobilized until it Escapes. The Escape DC is 16. A creature adjacent to the target can Interact to remove the net.
  • Craft Clockwork A Clockwork Footman can craft common or Clockwork items; they do not keep formula books but instead they "eat" a sheet of paper that has one formula on it. they can craft that item with their craft skill. A footman can only hold one formula this way and the paper is destroyed when another formula replaces it.
  • Repair ClockworkClockwork servants are adept at repairing other clockwork constructs. A clockwork servant can repair damage done to either itself or an adjacent clockwork creature, with a DC 12 Craft Check. Critical Success The Clockwork repairs 2d10 HP . Success The Clockwork repairs 1d10 HP . Failure The Clockwork does not repair any damage.
Wind-Up: DC 19; Time: 1 Min/ 24 Hours: To remain operational, a clockwork footman must be wound with it's key by a creature. After 24 hrs, the footman becomes inactive and immobile until it's wound again. A clockwork footman can be placed into standby mode as a 3-action activity; a clockwork creature must perform this activity itself. A clockwork footman's operational time doesn't decrease in standby. A creature can attempt to Disable a Device to wind a clockwork down (with a DC listed in the wind-up entry).
are stored behind Enchanted Bronze blast doors, they come to life and investigate if any of the machinery inside is initiated.

Rule-of-Three

things tend to happen in threes.
Inside the northern chamber, there is a podium in the center the podium has three sunken circular recesses with Zionic symbols inside one with waving spiral (Chaos) one with a snowflake (Ice), and the last with clouds and rays of light (Heaven). failed placements trigger an increasing amount of Arbiters to attack the party.

These spherical inevitables are scouts and diplomats. Found throughout the multiverse, they have traditionally kept watch over on chaos and its agents. With the announcement of the Convergence, many arbiters now serve as go-betweens among the aeon alliance and its mortal associates.   Recall Knowledge - Monitor (Religion): DC 15

Center-of-the-Omniverse

there is a center of everything — or, rather, wherever a person happens to be is the center of the Omniverse... from their own perspective, at least. As most planes are functionally infinite, disproving anyone's centricity would be impossible.
Inside the Eastern chamber, There are three rings of 100 locks each implanted into the surface of the spherical room. one horizontal and eye-level the other two are verticle and perpendicular to each other. there are two Warden's Jailers posted at the entrance to the room each holding a Jailer's Spear. the lock mechanisms are rather large, about 4 inches wide and half an inch thick. A DC 14 Disable device check will open a lock. failing to disable the lock and disabling the wrong lock will activate a group of Arbiters , continuing to stack with any failed attempts from other rooms, the third failed attempt in this room will activate one of the soldiers. Disabled locks will turn and raise out from the wall a little further and glow with a faint white light. Warden's Jailer

Unity of Rings

Things are circular, coming back around to where they started.
Inside the Southern wall chamber, there are bronze curved and grooved rods all around the surface of the spherical room at eye level. two bronze rings encompass the room perpendicular to each other. The bronze rods are affixed to the wall at their center point a ratcheting device in this joint allows the rods to be set into position. There is an obviously missing rod directly adjacent to the door. this room is inactive until the puzzle is solved.
