Clockwork Serpent Spy
A brass automaton slithers unseen to steal secrets, self-destructing the moment it's brought down to protect what it carries.
A serpentine automaton of brass coils and ticking gears, built to slither unseen through a patron's halls and carry stolen secrets back in a single glittering gemstone eye.
