The Clockwork Spy is a Level 0 creature, with Armor Class 17 and 8 hit points. A miniature mechanical avian designed for surveillance, the clockwork spy silently records conversations onto embedded gemstones.
- **Record Audio** The clockwork spy records all sounds within 25 feet onto a small gemstone worth 1 gp embedded in its body. The clockwork spy can record up to 1 hour of sound on a single gemstone.
Once it begins recording, it can't cease recording early, nor can it record onto a gemstone that already contains a recording. Some clockwork spies contain multiple gemstones to allow for a series of recordings. Since clockwork spies are not intelligent, they must be given simple commands regarding when to start recording sounds. A clockwork spy can differentiate between different kinds of creatures but not between specific individuals.
The spy can start or stop playback of recorded sound by spending a single action.
Removing a gemstone from or installing a gemstone into a clockwork spy requires a successful 14 Thievery check to Disable a Device; on a failure, the gemstone is undamaged, but any recorded sounds are erased and the gemstone still can't be used to make another recording.
- **Wind-Up** 24 hours, DC 14, standby
- **Self-Destruct** **Trigger** The clockwork spy is reduced to 0 Hit Points A clockwork spy must use this reaction unless specifically programmed otherwise by its creator; ; The spy thrashes around and emits a tinny scream followed by a steady ticking sound. At the beginning of what would have been its next turn, the clockwork spy explodes, dealing 1d10 piercing damage in a 5-foot radius (16 basic Reflex save). Its gemstone is destroyed, along with any information contained inside it. An adjacent creature can cancel the self-destruct sequence by succeeding at a 16 Thievery check to Disable a Device.
