Clockwork Triplicate

Donut's skill creates two temporary Sledge automatons used to trigger Lucia's teleport traps and deliver a fake Donut.

Story so far

Donut casts Clockwork Triplicate on The Sledge inside the guildhall. Clockwork Sledge One crosses the first trapped threshold and appears among the waiting hunters, where it explodes.

Clockwork Sledge Two wheels Katia's crowned stuffed-animal decoy into the safe room. Lucia mistakes it for Donut long enough to activate her teleport spell, transporting herself, her dog, the automaton, and the decoy to Vrah's ambush point.

Appearance

Two mechanical duplicate rock creatures modeled on Sledge's wheeled body.

Role

The skill supplies expendable bodies for remotely probing both of Lucia's teleport mechanisms.

Relationships

Princess Donut — She casts and directs the duplicates.
The Sledge — His form is copied twice.
Lucia Mar — One duplicate provokes her mass teleport.
