Divine Warden Army

This creature's description may contain spoilers. Click to revealThe stairs descend several flights beneath Egorian’s sewers to a cavernous chamber of unworked stone. Almost a hundred stone statues that resemble Iomedae, wearing sturdy plate mail and carrying longswords whose hilts bear the Inheritor’s religious symbol, stand in serried rows. A soft light suffuses the entire room, as each statue glows slightly.

These statues are the divine wardens Helia Belunne was gathering in case of an emergency. They stand ready, waiting only to be awoken by the right people for the right cause. There are four troops of constructs here. A PC can activate them all by standing in the center of the chamber and loudly speaking their name, their purpose, and the problem to be solved, followed by a prayer to Iomedae. Assuming a PC explains what’s happening to Cheliax, the statues’ eyes then all glow with holy energy, and the statues can be commanded, one for each PC. If a PC also succeeds at DC 38 Religion check, they can immediately form a skirmish bond (Battlecry! 161) with the troop they command. A PC who critically succeeds at this check allows all of the PCs to form skirmish bonds. A PC who’s been sanctified by Iomedae gets one degree of success higher on this check.
