Dashers

A dasher resembles a nightmarishly elongated iron mantis, complete with six spindly legs used only for running at insane speeds; it falls over if slowed to less than 30 mph. Although dashers can clear barriers less than 20 feet high with a single stride, the speedy machines can't turn well.
Foes who take shelter inside a solid structure (tents don't count), are backed up against a wall, or who throw themselves flat upon the ground are immune to the blindingly swift attack of a dasher. The only possible attack against a dasher is to set a weapon against a charge. Targeting a dasher with a spell is almost impossible.

Mandibles - Mandibles deliver a slashing attack.

Sonic Boom - A dasher can generate a sonic boom by accelerating to its top speed. The sonic boom affects all living creatures within a 100' - radius of the effect and is equal to Intensity 10 Illusion of Sound (CONx2). The energy needed to do so is equal to 1pt of CHARGE.

Dashers expend 1 unit of CHARGE per day and must return to their machine cyst each day to replenish their energy. If a dasher's energy is depleted, it becomes inert.

Meltdown - If a dasher is stopped either by damage, magic, or trap it retains the heat as a byproduct of its energy storage. Over the next 3 rounds, and accompanied by a cherry-red glow, the dasher melts into a pool of slag, utterly destroyed.
