Description
Forged in unknown foundries and powered with arcane magic, these mechanical raiders plague the sky isles of Seorsus with their depredations. Despite their diminutive size and goblinoid appearance, they are a force with which to be reckoned. Their eyes glow with the pale blue of electricity as they swing from their frigates onto hapless skyships of explorers and merchants.
While they stand no more than 3 feet tall, they can be a formidable foe as they lay wait in ambush in the dense forests and craggy mountains of the sky isles.. Clad in a variety of rags and camouflaging cloaks , clockwork goblem raiders embrace their roles as a scourge upon the settlements of the sky isles.
Clockwork goblem raiders will attack with the ferocity driven by a gestalt controlling force but do have individualized consciousnesses that make them somewhat erratic. They will freely engage in melee combat and raids while fully functional but tend to retreat when damaged, that is until their betters drive them back into the fray to conquer and pillage. Individually they can be a menace to many civilian passengers. As a mob or crew, even the heartiest adventurers meet their doom.
