Aria widened her eyes, but in excitement, as Kass commanded the dragon-effigy to leap into the air and fly around several columns (and finding the amulet not to interfere with the magic of her own; it seemed incidental that it was designed to be worn around the neck). The creature had a much wider turn radius than did either of their magic flying, and a more limited angle of ascent - but she could tell that it was incredibly fast when it built up speed flying the long way across the chamber - more than three times their own flight speed, she guessed. And the movements of the metallic body, more feline than reptilian in shape, suggested a heavy strength were it to bring it to bear.<br/><br/>"Wow...!" Aria had to blink a few times. "Flying it'll be fun....Nice name."<br/><br/>They retrieved Anya, to teleport outside the pyramid with the construct and several times to the west. The huge creature had plenty of space along its back, between the long wings which caught the sunlight in almost prismatic patterns.<br/><br/>Aria clutched tightly to the central back with her legs, noting that, although the creature was decidly golden in color, it seemed to be crafted of more practical metals which were not as soft, and probably not a heavy, as actual gold.<br/><br/>"Better lean forward and wave as we come in..." Aria waved her hands as she stared down into the courtyard of the Sharessan temple, "Don't want to give the idea it's an<em>actual</em>dragon attacking...."<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Yes, it does have some falling damage.<br/><br/>I think construct repair requires the Craft Construct feat rather than a skill, although there is also at least one series of spells that can heal them (Repair Light/Moderate/etc. wounds; sor/wiz list and otherwise identical to the regular Cure series except for the different creature types affected. I think the spells might repair objects too.)<br/><br/>Will post its stat block soon, along with the magic items / loot.
