Blue-glowing animated sets of plate armor and shield, these magical constructs are meant to contain and bleed breakthroughs into the interior of the fortresses of the line. Some are programmed to block certain paths, some to attack any unauthorized personnel. They fight cautiously in order to delay the fight long enough to allow reinforcements to arrive, but have no special sense of self-preservation other than that required by reasonable tactics. If “slain” they become a set of plate armor, but without any straps or holes punched for them, and with a rune carved on each piece. If straps are added without removing the runes magically, and the armor is worn, it will reanimate upon entry to a fortress of the line, making the wearer into a helpless prisoner, likely to starve if not eventually rescued. If forced outside of a fortress of the line, they will de-animate until they are returned within. Instinct: To Attack or Block Unauthorized Personnel
