==Automatons==

===Hands of Iron===
For as long as artificers have been building automatons they have sought ways to remove the tedium and danger of manual labor with their creations. A wild array of variously useful designs were constructed, tested and discarded along the road to creating the artificial laborer. It took many years before artificers moved on from creating a general-purpose artificial person to building specialized designs that were engineered to fulfill just a few roles. These automatons were expensive to create and maintain, and remained the purview of wealthy groups doing work too dangerous or detestable for disposable living workforces. In many cases, the owners of these automatons met with untimely ends and their machines mindlessly continue their work still, their mechanical minds, never that complex, slowly degrading and making them dangerous to those who stumble upon them.

====Driller====
The driller is an exceptionally simple design. A bulky, humanoid body is employed so that it may easily manipulate existing mining gear. One arm ends in a humanoid gripper, while the other terminates in a large drill. Typically found either drilling into rock or pushing loads of ore on minecarts, drillers have uncomplicated minds and follow extremely simple commands. They can, due to deterioration or misuse, be ordered into combat, where their drill arm can be used as a dangerous weapon that causes grievous, deep wounds.

The creature may take an action to end the impaired affliction. Healing any amount of damage also ends the impaired affliction.}}

====Oreseeker====
A small and simple automaton, the oreseeker, as its namesake suggests, seeks out ore and processes it on site. Roughly a foot in diameter, standing upon four thick metal legs, this machine's underside opens up to reveal a set of grinding teeth that the oreseeker uses to pulverize rock and ore. Mounted on the oreseeker's back is a small harpoon gun. Using the harpoon gun to scale vertical surfaces or to reach distant ore seams, the oreseeker then uses its grinder to process the ore for collection by other automatons. If directed to fight, the oreseeker simply replicates this process on its enemies, spearing them with the harpoon gun, attaching to their body, and then applying its grinding mechanism to their form.

}}

==War Machines==
While some tinkerers sought to remove people from the unenviable position of heavy labor, others toiled to change the shape of the battlefield. They envisioned legions of gleaming metal soldiers arranged in neat rows, marching into a bloodless carnage while their controllers watched from afar. The reality has been far from this utopian vision. Designing machines that kill has long been easier than making machines that work, and from the beginning these murderous machines have been highly effective relative to conventional soldiers. Baroque in construction and expensive in the extreme, war machines rarely fight one another, instead they are more often deployed against flesh and blood soldiers. Unlike the original artificers' vision of clean and orderly combat, this has always resulted in horrific injuries and messy deaths for the conventional troops. War machines rarely lose, but at the same time their heightened degree of independence and more complex design leads to them going haywire at higher rates than other automatons. A war machine that has gone rogue can be extremely dangerous, and oftentimes their irresponsible owners simply let them go rather than risk other investments to destroy them.

====Iron Guardian====
Designed for operation in populated areas and in close quarters with people, the iron guardian pattern is focused on preventing violence rather than dispensing it. Often dressed in concealing clothing, this stocky metal humanoid wields a blade that folds out for easy concealment, while its other arm ends in a high-caliber pistol built for stopping power. Constructed with protection in mind, the iron guardian puts itself between its charge and any threats, taking blows meant for them while warding off enemies who get within its reach.

== Myconics ==

=== Huge Myconic ===

The largest animals take the longest to infest, but provide the most useful platforms for further infestation. By the time a myconic outbreak is converting creatures of this scale, the only recourse is usually going to be aerial bombing or chemical attacks. The huge myconics are creatures like behemoths, dinosaurs, colossi and rocs. Other times, these walking fungal infections are grown entirely from converted organic mass. Arms and legs and faces of hundreds of assimilated creatures can be seen dangling from these masses of spongy fungal material as they lumber across the land, spurting out clouds of choking spores to spread the infection.

On a failure it takes a 1d6 penalty to Health. The penalty lasts until this diseased affliction is removed.

=== Large Myconic ===

Large myconics are a common sight in lands overtaken by the infestation. Once they were ogres, chimeras, drakes, or even masses of pure fungal matter risen up and and made to walk the land. They are often used as shock troops, fighting on the front lines of myconic invasions to spread the infection and kill enemies faster in order to convert them more quickly into allies.

=== Medium Myconic ===

The backbone of a myconic infestation, these mycons are the most commonly-encountered form. Usually they were humans, elves or orcs before being infested, but now they are swollen with pods of spores and their skin is soft and sallow, sagging off of their bloated forms. Their eyes have gone milky white but still retain a sort of intelligence that never seen to be focused, but lurks all around. Too broken or far gone to be used as true soldiers, these mycons are sent in as cannon fodder to infect others and bog down the enemy while more capable mycons can move into place.

When the myconic infestation comes across a problem that it can’t solve with brute force, it creates soldiers. Well-preserved infested or new infectees can be manipulated, the growth of the fungus controlled and measured to leave them with more of their faculties intact that one would normally expect. These beings wield weapons and spells, if they had the talent beforehand.

== Myconic Nodes ==

The nodes are the control points of the myconic infection. From the nodes flows the control and power of the mycons. They house brain tissue and ganglia, giving them incredible intelligence and the ability to cast magic. All mycons are connected, and the nodes give the commands. This distributed intelligence allows them to share the ability to cast spells. Any mycon connected to an active node gains the ability to use the magic of the node. The mycons generally grow nodes on the front lines, expanding the range of their controlled soldiers and infested. The magical power they wield is considerable and can turn the tide of a battle.

=== Huge Myconic ===

The largest animals take the longest to infest, but provide the most useful platforms for further infestation. By the time a myconic outbreak is converting creatures of this scale, the only recourse is usually going to be aerial bombing or chemical attacks. The huge myconics are creatures like behemoths, dinosaurs, colossi and rocs. Other times, these walking fungal infections are grown entirely from converted organic mass. Arms and legs and faces of hundreds of assimilated creatures can be seen dangling from these masses of spongy fungal material as they lumber across the land, spurting out clouds of choking spores to spread the infection.

=== Large Myconic ===

Large myconics are a common sight in lands overtaken by the infestation. Once they were ogres, chimeras, drakes, or even masses of pure fungal matter risen up and and made to walk the land. They are often used as shock troops, fighting on the front lines of myconic invasions to spread the infection and kill enemies faster in order to convert them more quickly into allies.

=== Medium Myconic ===

The backbone of a myconic infestation, these mycons are the most commonly-encountered form. Usually they were humans, elves or orcs before being infested, but now they are swollen with pods of spores and their skin is soft and sallow, sagging off of their bloated forms. Their eyes have gone milky white but still retain a sort of intelligence that never seen to be focused, but lurks all around. Too broken or far gone to be used as true soldiers, these mycons are sent in as cannon fodder to infect others and bog down the enemy while more capable mycons can move into place.

== Myconic Nodes ==

The nodes are the control points of the myconic infection. From the nodes flows the control and power of the mycons. They house brain tissue and ganglia, giving them incredible intelligence and the ability to cast magic. All mycons are connected, and the nodes give the commands. This distributed intelligence allows them to share the ability to cast spells. Any mycon connected to an active node gains the ability to use the magic of the node. The mycons generally grow nodes on the front lines, expanding the range of their controlled soldiers and infested. The magical power they wield is considerable and can turn the tide of a battle.

'''<big>Huge Myconic</big>'''

The largest animals take the longest to infest, but provide the most useful platforms for further infestation. By the time a myconic outbreak is converting creatures of this scale, the only recourse is usually going to be aerial bombing or chemical attacks. The huge myconics are creatures like behemoths, dinosaurs, colossi and rocs. Other times, these walking fungal infections are grown entirely from converted organic mass. Arms and legs and faces of hundreds of assimilated creatures can be seen dangling from these masses of spongy fungal material as they lumber across the land, spurting out clouds of choking spores to spread the infection.

'''<big>Large Myconic</big>'''

Large myconics are a common sight in lands overtaken by the infestation. Once they were ogres, chimeras, drakes, or even masses of pure fungal matter risen up and and made to walk the land. They are often used as shock troops, fighting on the front lines of myconic invasions to spread the infection and kill enemies faster in order to convert them more quickly into allies.

'''<big>Medium Myconic</big>'''

The backbone of a myconic infestation, these mycons are the most commonly-encountered form. Usually they were humans, elves or orcs before being infested, but now they are swollen with pods of spores and their skin is soft and sallow, sagging off of their bloated forms. Their eyes have gone milky white but still retain a sort of intelligence that never seen to be focused, but lurks all around. Too broken or far gone to be used as true soldiers, these mycons are sent in as cannon fodder to infect others and bog down the enemy while more capable mycons can move into place.

Consisting of infested goblins, kobolds, dwarves and others, the small myconics are the most numerous of the mobile mycons, swarming over the land, expelling spores and drowning their enemies in waves of fungal matter. With little regard for individual lives, the small myconics will wedge themselves into small spaces or scale barricades with their own destroyed bodies.

'''<big><big>Myconic Soldiers</big></big>'''

When the myconic infestation comes across a problem that it can’t solve with brute force, it creates soldiers. Well-preserved infested or new infectees can be manipulated, the growth of the fungus controlled and measured to leave them with more of their faculties intact that one would normally expect. These beings wield weapons and spells, if they had the talent beforehand. These special troops are used to handle special problems, such as fortresses, well-equipped soldiers standing in the path of the infection, or bands of adventurers striking into the heart of myconic territory.

SOTDL:Montauk Monster

2019-06-28T19:22:24Z

Serf:

Long ago, when the City was still under construction, a portal opened up that was different from any other. Several beings stepped through this portal of blue-white light and roamed the countryside for days, accosting and killing many people in the process. Roughly humanoid in size and shape, these beings had a loose, silvery covering and strange glass plates secured over human faces. An effort was made to communicate with them, and they spoke only one word when asked what they were: Montauk.

Eventually the Montauk returned home through their portal, taking several people with them. While they have never returned, the fae have taken on their shapes, terrorizing remote places and abducting people to be killed out of sight in bizarre rituals of dissection. Montauk monsters travel alone or in small groups, never more than five to a squad. They attempt to take their victims alive, wielding electricity to stun and incapacitate, and when nonlethal methods fail they have advanced firearms that punch through any armor.
