Gnomish clockwork creations are without a doubt mechanical masterpieces, but those produced by Gafan’s Workshop are on a level all their own. Their creations can comprehend and execute complicated commands, and some exhibit signs of unique personalities. Be warned, neglect and lack of maintenance can result in bizarre behaviors as gears and cogs begin to slip erratically.
Mechanic
As an action, you can wind the clockwork bird. Winding it will immediately bring it to life. It acts as a tiny companion creature and only follows the orders of the person who turned the winding key. After one hour, it stops functioning and must be wound again to continue taking orders. If the Clockwork Bird falls to 0 hit points, it is destroyed and can only be repaired by the masters at Gafan’s Workshop.
