Armor Imps
(Funny armor/creature)
Armor imps were created by the Queen of Riddle to maintain the very expensive Damsel prisons. When summoned, the imps are "stolen" from the Damsel, breaking the bond, and leaving the creatures in the Discovered Lands without any purpose.
Armor imps bonded to armor appear as a subtle, but detailed etching, somewhere on the armor. If one looks closely, they might even notice the imp move from time to time. Very experienced and happy armor imps have been known to make repairs to armor even in the heat of battle. (The imp moves around as an etching, fixing damage a it appears.)
In one eve, one armor imp can make the repairs of an expert blacksmith, if he were to work for 12 hours, with no breaks. Armor imps make no sound, require no forge, smoke, or bellows, and most do excellent work. Each additional imp will increase the amount of work done, up until 3 imps. (ie., 36 hours of repair work per night.)
Interestingly, one could bond an armor imp to the smallest scrap of used armor, and they would eventually build it into the full suit that it once was. However, they are unable to work on any armor that has never seen battle.
Armor imps make excellent pets, as long as one follows the following rules:
1. Leave them alone.
2. Leave a bonding charm on the armor that you wish the imp to bond to. (Charm is provided with purchase of imp)
3. An Armor Imp will bond to one suit of armor for life. (Unless #6 happens) This bond is not transferable. Imps live for centuries.
4. Armor imps love torch sap, and will suck all of the sap dry in one evening. This makes them drunk. (they will not get any work done for 7 nights if drunk.)
5. Armor imps love lamp oil better than torch sap, so hide this too. (21 nights of drunkness)
6. Up to 3 imps may bond to one suit of armor. If 4 are bonded, they all will flee, never to return.
7. The armor must have been used in battle at some point in it's history, or the imp is free to flee.
