Innek's War
Machines
Innek was a master craftsman, he produced wonders of mechanical ingenuity that amazed all the gazed upon them. During a time when Innek's home was endangered by vast powerful armies, his king ordered him to construct machines of war that could turn the tide of the battle that threatened their home. In conjunction with the king's court wizard, Innek created several machines capable of mass destruction. The Machines worked well and were able to help in the route of enemy troops. Long after the kingdom that Innek lived in was long forgotten, his creations live on. Innek made a dozen of these war machines, it is known that several were destroyed in the battles to preserve his kingdom but a few of them we too successful in punching through the enemy lines. These "renegade" machines pushed on and continued to unleash destruction upon all beings that they encountered. The renegade machines had lost their controllers and thus continued on with their last command. Innek's war machines continue to wage war to this day. Each of the machines is different than the others, they were all developed with different strengths in mind. Some are powered by large spiked rollers designed to smash enemy troops and buildings, others have two or more legs and various arm for grabbing and smashing. Several features are common amongst Innek's creations; they are all armored with Dwarven steel at least an inch thick and possess an array of cannons that are capable of hurling flame or lightning at their targets. These machines are a fusion of magic and engineering, they never run out of fuel to power their motors and cannons. These machines are weapons of mass destruction running unchecked through the land-luckily there are but a few in existence.
Battle Tactics:
Innek's War Machines have simplistic modes of operation. They will single out the closest targets and attack them. Buildings, siege engines, and other large objects will be attacked first, then the machine will move on to smaller targets going from biggest to smallest. Innek's War Machines have sensory spots or "eyes" located all around the device, thus it is impossible to sneak up on one of these devices. Innek's War Machines are able to attack multiple targets at once, directing attacks against as many opponents as it has weapons to attack with. Due to the machine's toughness, only magical weapons can harm this device. Siege weapons and giant hurled objects can effect these machines as well. Bladed and piercing weapons will do only 1/4 damage to this device, blunt weapons do 1/2 damage-this includes missiles launched from siege engines and similar objects. Innek's War machines are also totally resistant to fire and electricity. Acid will have full effect on one of these monstrous creations. Magic fire, cold and any other spell will inflict only 10% of damages scored, Innek built his machines well.
Habitat:
One of Innek's War Machines can be found most anywhere, not being effected by climate in the slightest. Usually one can tell of it's passing by large foot or tread marks and a swath of destruction left in it's path.
Ecology:
These creations are machines and thus do not age or reproduce or die unless destroyed.
Description:
Innek made at least a dozen of these war machines, each of them different from each other. Some of these devices have two legs and arms with hand and weapon attachments, other have several legs and have turrets with various weapons mounted on the body. Still others are wheeled with solid metal wheels that are covered with sharp spikes. Most of these creations will be dirty and covered with numerous scratches and scuffs from years of combat. GM's use you imagination in fleshing out these machines.
