Sentinel

Sentinel is a massive bandosian construct of immense destructive power that resembles Bandos himself, created by bandosian mages on Yu'biusk during the height of Bandos' rule on the plane. The superweapon draws its power from the Anima Mundi of Yu'biusk itself. Currently played by Raltin Avarr, subject to change in the future.

Construction and Destruction
The Sentinel was first thought of as an idea for a tribute to Bandos by a group of mage-priests, who began construction of a great statue that resembled their very god. The stone that was used to build the monument came from the deepest mines of Yu'biusk, heavy and super hardened grey rock from deep within the earth, which took decades to chisel into the shape it was eventually given. When further wars broke out amongs Yu'biusk and the city where the statue stood was threatened, the priests sought to create more advanced war machines, and were soon drawn to the very source of their inspiration: the statue of Bandos. The priests soon declared that there would be no better tribute than a weapon that resembled their god and was capable of wiping out a city, and thus began work on animating the stone monument that was one day to become Sentinel.

The priests achieved their goal eventually, as the great statue was infused with life from the very life force of Yu'biusk itself, the immense statue soon began to aid its creators in the conquering of other territories on the homeworld, and few could stand against the construct's devestating physical strength and solid defenses. Eventually came the time that Bandos set his sights on Gielinor, and those who had control over the devastating weapon, which became known as Sentinel, decided that it was time to send the construct to the new world and let the ravages of war continue elsewhere. When the mages attempted to teleport the construct to Gielinor, a flux in the portal turned the simple matter of teleportation into a disaster: Sentinel was broken into pieces by the flux and teleported high in the atmosphere of Gielinor in many seperate locations, which collided with the ground and were lost for thousands of years to come, becoming burried in the earth and forgotten, that is, before the Chosen Battalion learned of the pieces existence.

Pieces of the Past
Over a period of time (a little over four ooc months), the members of the Chosen Battalion took on quests and adventures to recover the pieces of Sentinel, facing many dangers along the way; many of the pieces defended by strange guardians. Once the Battalion recovered all the missing pieces, they returned the reassembled construct to Yu'biusk, where it was once more reborn with energy from the sickened planet. The massive construct now looms over Goblin Village, where it awaits orders from the bandosian who commands it: Yokrad.

Combat Summary
Sentinel is a three story tall bulwark of destructive siege engine power, its super hardened stone body is resistant to nearly every form of attack, and only the most well crafted of magically tuned weaponry could hope to put it out of commission. Sentinel possess the ability to heal itself through absorbing rock from the ground and fusing it to its own body to recover, and can even absorb and store certain energies and turn them back on attackers, energies such as divination wisps are prime examples. The construct simply uses complete brute force to batter everything else into submission with its giant mass, and if force does not work then it can resort to the aforementioned magical storage it has absorbed, which it then uses to blast away what it cannot batter down. Sentinel is a huge danger to opposition, and special preparations need to be made to stand a chance against this siege machine.

Appearance
Sentinel is a near perfect copy of the god Bandos in stone form, the grey rock golem sports glowing runic energies across its body which often manifest in the form of bandosian symbols. One difference from Bandos is that all four eyes of the golem are lit while the god himself had three out of four eyes.
