Spider golem chariots

For the first time we are able to get a good look at the sider golem mounts. Of the surviving five vehicles, these creations have eight legs of heavy granite of solidified webs, sharpening to a nail claw, slight curved at its end. The web-granite is a of strong, extremely dense cable like radial bonds. In the vehicle form, the chariot hums when bound in solid form. It echos a tone of terse cables rubbing together, producing almost a metallic sounding motion of locotion. The seat is more of a dias, with the rider siting within a 8 ft diameter bowl. The top of bowl is rimmed with the upward reaching first segent of the rock spider legs, with two more segments bending to the final claw ground reaching tip. A rider in the bowl spached depression sits approximately 5 ft to the lip of the depression, and eight ft to the top-joint of the first leg sement.

A rider is protected by a gravity defining base, so if the golem leaps or ascends walls, the rider’s center of gravity remains at the center of the bowl. The golems are voice actived, and can carry upwards of 2000 pounds of weight at a maximum speed of 18, with a leap ability of 100 ft and a spider-climb ability at any vertical, even upside down. Loaded with 3000 pounds, the vertical spider-climb rate is at 12 to a vertical pitch (90 degrees) and a 50 ft leap. At a weight of 4000 pounds, the vehicle is fully loaded and limited to a move of 6 and with no leap ability. Spider climb is limited to a 60 degree pitch. While loaded to an ultimate maximum weight of 6000 lbs the chariots can move at a rate of 3 with no jump ability, a slope of 30 degree spider-climbing pitch and will no longer defy gravite for the center bowl conents.

The chariots themselves magically weight a mere 500 lbs or pressure applied to the surface they scale, but pnce reduced to rubble weight 3000 pounds. Unpermanized, the cannon shot versions of the chariots last 3d4 days. (these each have 4 days left. There are five un-used cannon web-balisti shots lying about the battle strune courtyards.
