The Automaton Army

The RC Knight

Upon crossing a bridge, the party encounters a knight dressed in black, challenging them to battle, saying "None shall pass." After the battle begins, every round the party has a chance to notice that the knight is in fact an automaton being controlled by some children hiding in the bushes nearby. Upon being noticed the children have the knight pull the old "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" bit. "Your opponent is over here!", etc.

Plot seed for (optional) later automaton army.
