Message: <blockquote data-quote="Old_school_overlord" data-source="post: 5080831" data-attributes="member: 60631">The Clockwork Mage's daughter This small automotan is one of the oldest constructs in the village, an early creation of the original CwM. Made of brass, it appears to be a young child riding tricycle. She lacks functional hands or legs, and her porcelaine mask face is very sad. Though sentient, the CwM is unable to communicate with living beings.  She is often seen slowly wheeling through the village, watching the people at work or play. Sometimes, CwM's daughter will appear to deliver a short typed note carried in her tricycle's basket. She lives in a small alcove at the back of the CmW's mansion.  The Winders Here and there through out the village can be found thick pillars, each with one or more levers and protruding fittings. Whenever an automotan finds itself "winding down" it automaticaly brings itself to the nearest Winder and attaches to the appropriate fitting. A simple flip of the lever rotates the fitting at high speed, rewinding the automton in a matter of moments. The winders are connected underground to the dozens windmills that sit atop many of the village buildings - the largest that top the CmW's tower. Juggernaught hill When the great war was at its very height, the CwM was commisioned to construct a gargantuan war machine that would be capable of ending the conflict in a single attack - one against which no army could stand. He worked for many months on the titan, assured by the kingdom's leaders that their cause was just, and that no matter how many people were killed by his device, it would save many times more by bringing the conflict to an end. Finally finished, the CwM activated his machine and directed it towards the enemy. Seeing the devastation the war had already caused, and the misurable fates of the refugees, he realised that the rulers had no true concern for the lives of the people. Instead of attacking the rival nation, he instead founded Tick-tock town. The ruler was furious, with the Juggernaught protecting Tick-tock there was little that could be done. years passed with the machine holding its silent vigle, and eventually it has become entirely overgrown with plants and trees. despite this, there remain secret hatches which might be pried open, allowing access inside it.</blockquote>
