newmonster         "Diamond Clockwork Soldier"
descr              "It is quite easy to notice if an approaching Hoburg army contains a Horologist due to the clanking sound of his many Clockwork Soldiers.  Though clunky and erratic, they make a very good addition to the army as they can man the first line of battle while the Hoburghers finish their pie and beer snack. ^The constructs are all powered by a large mainspring and a jewel imbued with a certain element.  Before battle all constructs have to be wound up and the jewels have to placed in the right place, which is why it is preferable to attack the Hoburg forces by surprise.  As everyone knows, the diamond is connected with the Plane of Air and a construct that is powered by a diamond will shoot out a fork of lightning.  It has been speculated that it should possible to increase the power of the lightning by directing it towards another Clockwork Soldier, thus charging the diamond in that construct and producing an even more powerful lightning bolt.  This theory was meant to be tried out by Ortolf the Master Horologist at the battle of Sahnenburg, where he had placed twenty constructs in a circle, meaning for them to charge each other for a few rounds before the resulting lightning should have been directed towards the enemy.  The result of the experiment is not known, as neither of the opposing armies nor Sahnenburg could be found afterwards."
