Continuous Track This vehicle travels on a continuous band of heavy treads driven by a series of gears and wheels, enabling it to travel over rugged land with ease. Earth, rock, rubble, slopes, and underbrush are not difficult terrain to an ambling surveyor. The ambling surveyor ignores difficult terrain from earth, rock, rubble, slopes, and underbrush, and greater difficult terrain caused by those features is normal difficult terrain to the ambling surveyor.

Sluggish This vehicle must move twice its length for each 90-degree turn it makes.

Survey Requirements The ambling surveyor is not in motion; Effect The pilot and crew release a collection of six clockwork birds, which spend two hours flying over the surrounding area within a 1-mile radius around the ambling surveyor. Everything the birds see is magically transmitted back to the ambling surveyor's crew as illusory images, which the crew must catalogue in real-time if they want to use the information to fully survey the area and create a map. After two hours, the birds return. The birds use the base statistics of clockwork spies (Bestiary 3 page 48) if they are attacked, or if their Perception is important to determine what they can see, although they only perform the Survey action and they don't have any of the other abilities of a clockwork spy. Replacement birds cost 250 gp each.

This apparatus, which is shaped like an octopus (or more rarely, a squid or other aquatic creature), uses almost entirely magical propulsion. Clockwork parts make up the controls and mechanisms to improve some of the functionality, but magic moves the vehicles' cogs and gears. While it needs only a pilot, it can optionally hold a second crew member, which can be useful if the second crew member controls the apparatus's hands or eyes.

Tiered A battery tower has five levels. The crew operate at the bottom tier, turning a giant capstan, and up to four passengers can fit on that floor, enough for a full crew for a bombard. The remaining levels carry 50 passengers each. The tiers are specifically meant to be protective, and give those within the battery tower greater cover (or standard cover if the battery tower is broken). A massive ladder runs diagonally through the center of the battery tower, from the front of the top tier to the rear of the bottom tier. The ladder is wide enough for two crew or passengers to climb simultaneously.

Weaponry A battery tower is usually loaded with black powder siege weapons for heavy assaults, with bombards on the bottom two floors and cannons on the other floors. Their Price is included in that of the battery tower. When building a battery tower, you can choose to replace any of these with other siege weapons of a lower Price. If you want a more expensive siege weapon, you must Craft it separately. Passengers of the battery tower can crew these siege weapons

Environmental Protections This vehicle's interior temperature is magically maintained. Creatures inside this vehicle are protected from severe cold, severe heat, extreme cold, and extreme heat.

Luxurious Accommodations This vehicle contains a bridge, engineering room, private sleeping quarters for up to 13 creatures, and four additional rooms (typically a dining room, kitchen, lavatory, and meeting room).

Maneuverable This vehicle is mounted on ten spider-like legs that enable it to turn swiftly, turn in place, and even move backward. Each 90-degree turn made in less than a vehicle length costs 5 extra feet of movement; so, for example, it costs 10 feet of movement for the vehicle to turn around and begin moving backward. This vehicle loses these benefits when broken.

Skewering Step [>] (attack) Two crew members each perform a 3-action activity on their turn to skewer nearby enemies with the clockwork castle's legs. All creatures under or adjacent to the vehicle at the end of the second character's turn take 7d8 piercing damage (DC 35 basic Reflex save).

Weapon Mounts This vehicle has four rooftop weapon mounts; one mount on each corner of the vehicle. At purchase, these weapon mounts are initially empty. Installing or uninstalling a weapon into a weapon mount requires 10 minutes, a successful DC 35 Crafting check, and an appropriate weapon. Three of these weapon mounts can be equipped with ranged weapons, and the fourth can be equipped with a ranged siege weapon of size Large or smaller.

Starting Drop The only way to launch a Moreifianaix glider is to jump off a steep incline with favorable wind conditions. The glider is uncontrolled and falls 60 feet each round until the pilot successfully Geifoutrides Control. If the glider hits the ground before the pilot Geifoutrides Control, the pilot and the glider both take falling damage.

A sand diver is a vaguely scorpion-shaped vehicle that uses alchemical reactions to propel itself. The tail-like structure acts as a heat sink and releases alchemical fumes behind the diver as it burrows. Instead of pincers, it has two burrowing mechanisms in front that allow it to dig through sand.

Creatures that Burrow through a space this vehicle has Burrowed through within the last 24 hours take 1d12 piercing damage from the shards (DC 17 basic Fortitude save). A creature that continues Burrowing through a stretch of the same space the sand diver recently Burrowed through must continue to attempt this save the first time each round that it Burrows through the shards.

Both of those creatures take 6d6 fire damage from the sand racer's burning exhaust (DC 30 basic Reflex save).Success As critical success, but choose only one creature.Failure As success, but the creature gains a +4 circumstance bonus to its Reflex save, and the sand racer moves its Speed in a straight line.Critical Failure You fail to blast any creatures with the burning exhaust. The sand racer moves its Speed in a straight line and becomes uncontrolled.

Exploratory Kit Sand racers were built to aid in long-distance exploration of Fuvroud's sandy wastelands, and have storage capacity for 14 days of rations for a Medium creature and 14 days of fuel. They also have a small storage compartment in the front designed to store a repair kit and replacement parts for the more delicate pieces of machinery.

Speed Boost [>] Frequency ten times per minute; Effect The pilot triggers an injection of dashaix directly into the sand racer's engine to briefly increase its speed. For 1 round the sand racer's Speed becomes 180 feet, all piloting checks with the sand racer gain the reckless trait, and the pilot gains a +2 circumstance to any Acrobatics or piloting checks made to navigate specific challenges. A speed boost is terribly inefficient, and consumes a day's worth of fuel.

Tiered A siege tower has five levels. The bottom level houses the crew, and each higher level carries up to 10 passengers. The tiers are specifically meant to be protective and give those within the siege tower greater cover (or standard cover if the siege tower is broken). Each tier is connected to the one above it by a 7-foot ladder. The siege tower has a corvus at its highest tier: a vertical bridge that can be lowered to allow creatures to cross gaps. Lowering the corvus takes a total of 3 Interact actions. Moving the siege tower while the corvus is lowered is highly dangerous, especially for anyone on the corvus. When it's open, creatures in the top tier don't have cover from the side with the corvus, and creatures on the lowered corvus don't have cover except from below.

Speed Boost [>] The pilot releases built up pressure in the speedster's alchemical steam engine in order to temporarily increase its speed. For 1d4 rounds, the speedster's Speed becomes 80 feet and all move actions the pilot takes gain the reckless trait. When the pilot takes an action that already would have the reckless trait, the pilot uses the degree of success one worse than the one they rolled on the piloting check. The speedster can't use Speed Boost again for 1 hour, as the pressure requires time to rebuild.

Among the most dangerous vehicles created in Giakhaed with a mix of magic and the new Voltaic technology, a titanic stomper is shaped like a long sinuous lizard or behir with carefully placed Voltaic coils and eight big stomping legs. Titanic stompers were meant to devastate the armies of the undead. Only two exist, making them almost unique, and the means to create more have been stymied, as some of the crucial inventors were killed in the process of attempting to design a follow-up technology, a smaller but more powerful suit of mechanized armor called the Grobelarch that ultimately went berserk and killed its creators.

This hand-woven coracle appears large enough to hold only a single person. When you pilot the boat, however, you can take on up to a dozen passengers, which ride in your soul. While there, their bodies and equipment are absorbed into you—they are aware of everything you sense and can communicate telepathically with you or any other passengers, but otherwise can't act except to Recall Knowledge and use actions that require only the use of their mind (as determined by the GM). They can exit your soul, or you can remove any number of them using a single action—which has the concentrate trait—causing them to appear in a space adjacent to Treidrutous. If you leave Treidrutous or are killed, any creatures in your soul immediately exit your body into the nearest available space. If you leave Treidrutous after piloting it, you can use a single action, which has the concentrate trait, to store the boat in your soul. You can remove it from your soul into an adjacent square with another such action. If Treidrutous takes enough damage to destroy it, it bursts into golden mist, then reforms over 24 hours in its last pilot's soul.

[>>>] command, envision, Interact Requirements You are piloting Treidrutous; Effect A silver river flows from your heart, traveling forward in a line that flows around obstacles as if it were water. If Treidrutous travels at least its speed along the river each round for 10 minutes, you arrive at another plane as if you cast plane shift. You arrive in a destination you specify, or a random location if you don't have a choice. If Treidrutous ever does not travel at least its Speed in a round, you can disrupt this activation. If you continue, you have a 1% cumulative chance of ending up in a random extraplanar location for each round that Treidrutous did not travel at least its Speed, to a maximum of a 60% chance if Treidrutous didn't travel at least its Speed for the full 10 minutes. As long as you remain on Treidrutous, you are protected from any harmful effects of the plane's environment.

Secret of Souls You pilot Treidrutous into a creature's soul, finding and restoring its true nature. Treidrutous attempts to counteract all magical effects on the creature. Its counteract level is 20, with a counteract modifier of +40.

Destruction Treidrutous can only be permanently destroyed if Seboufalais Maetrund unweaves it, then submerges each reed in the River Styx at the base of Grobreil's Spire.
