Sweetie Sentinel (Alpha 0.3)
🕑 Added 2023-02-11 07:08:53 +0000 UTCFrom the perspective of the Collector of Dolls, her manor is a peaceful place of fun and affection, lacking any and all forms of violence. Unfortunately, on some "rare" occasions, rowdy "new dolls" having difficulty acclimating to their new positions or adventurers and treasure-hunters seeking the wealth and magic within the Manor may cause a bit ruckus, damaging the manor or the dolls within it. If such a circumstance were to arise and the Collector were preoccupied or unable to deal with the issue personally, it is the duty of the Sweetie Sentinels to apprehend trouble-makers within the manor.
Wielding portions of the Collector's magical prowess, each of the four Sweetie Sentinels within the Manor are designated to protect given districts of the manor, dealing with problems in the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast quadrants of the manor respectively. On a normal given day, Sweetie Sentinels are dormant, appearing comparable to statues within public spaces in the manor. However, at the first sign of a problem within their quadrant, a Sweetie Sentinel will immediately animate to quell the problem in order to bring to responsible party to the Collector.
Elemental creatures that appear as glowing human-sized copied of the Collector, the four Sweetie Sentinels that occupy the manor were created by the Collector through extracting some of her own essence, binding it to the potent magics stored within the ancient Rune-Willow Tree that grows within Lacewing Garden. As the Collector keeps importance of this pink-leaved tree to herself, even the Gardener Clique of former naturalists that tends to Lacewing Garden is blind to the magical importance it has to the security of the manor.
Physically imposing, dexterous, and magically skilled, Sweetie Sentinels should not be taken lightly. Though they are capable of dealing serious damage, they aim to tranquilize their targets as to not damage dolls that simply need additional guidance from the Collector.
However, it should be noted that these sentinels are incapable of leaving the quadrant of the manor to which they are bound, and as they lack the ability to speak, they are incapable of communicating any issues to the Sentinels that occupy other parts of the manor.
In the chances that a Sweetie Sentinel is defeated, its essence dissipates and returns to the Rune-Willow Tree within Lacewing Garden where its form regrows at the center of the manor; a process that takes a mere six hours. However, if the tree were to be destroyed, or if the tether between the Tree's magics and those of the Collector were to be broken, not only would any defeated Sweetie Sentinels be prevented from regrowing, but all remaining Sweetie Sentinels would begin to decay...
