The Asylumists

Green Eyes Cauldron

As the smog gathers overhead and the air fills with toxic fumes, strange glowing lights can be seen moving between the ruins, the shadows of sinister constructs flowing over the corpses of those who have already succumbed to the chemicals.

Moments later, a blinding flash and deafening screech break the stillness of the battleground as a plume of sludge launches high into the air, crackling with electricity and heat, only to come crashing down with a pulverising thud.

The chemicals boil and burn as they dissolve even the strongest battlements, eating through rock, metal, and armour with ease.

Then, the lights move again.

The sludge settles and becomes inactive before another plume erupts from somewhere within the ruins.

When a Green Eyes deteriorates to the point that it can no longer carry out its tasks, it is normally added to the sludge, its remains melded into the chemical soup to be used as a weapon. Some, however, are spared this fate, instead grafted onto a Cauldron for transporting the chemicals, allowing them to continue their toil for their masters.

Cauldrons are also fitted with a large cannon, ready to rain death upon any foe that should threaten the experiments of the Blood Engines.

Like their smaller Green Eyes variants, Cauldrons carry numerous chemicals that can be safely kept confined when stored separately. When combined, however—often in mid-air as the weapon fires—they form an almost unstoppable chemical compound.

Even the smallest speck is enough to condemn an unfortunate victim to a horrific death, reducing flesh, armour, and bone alike to a melting, bubbling mess.
