Forest automaton carrier

CanonOfficial lore from the books▶ Actual play

The forest automaton carrier is a great automaton of the Geroni in the campaign Yeni Dünya ("New World"). It came through the trees at dawn to collect the band of travellers who had left Avlor Aten with the head consul Orpi, and carried them on its back towards Perses Castle.12

No driver or escort rode on it, yet it moved as though it knew where it was going. Its gait did not suit rough ground and caused some small damage along the way, though it did not uproot or fell trees.34

On the ride the smell of water brought back to the doctor Bruno his first crossing to the New World, and the coastal wind as the castle came into view reminded the gnome Finli of his own arrival by sea; Finli had not spoken in years to the younger partner he had left behind. When the companion Sticks was missed on the way, Orpi would not speak of it aloud, saying that some owners can hear through the ears of their automata. At the castle the carrier stopped at a soldier's signal.1567
