Description
An exquisitely sculpted and finished statue of a beautiful female warrior, longsword in her hand, is set in the center of the room. The expression on her face shows pity and, if possible, it seems directed at you.
A caryatid column is akin to the stone golem. Both are magical constructs created by spellcasters, but caryatid columns have a much narrower purpose. They are always created for a very specific defensive function. The caryatid column stands 7 feet tall and weighs around 1,500 pounds. The column always wields a weapon (usually a longsword) in its left hand. The weapon itself is constructed of steel but is melded with the column in such a way that it is indistinguishable from stone until the column animates (a DC 20 Wis [Perception] check is needed to see it).
Caryatid columns are programmed as guardians and activate when certain conditions or stipulations are met; for example, when a living creature passes through a doorway or tampers with a locked chest guarded by a caryatid column. A caryatid column can’t move more than 50 feet from the spot it guards.
