Steam Tank for Ardicius

The Steam Tank

A strange contraption that seems to be powered by the mystical water and steam engine that was invented by the dwarf engineer Balzar the Stubborn (who was also the brain behind the tank). It is run on a single stroke steam engine that can propel it at a top speed of 3 and a half miles per hour (considered it's sprinting speed). The strange contraption is well protected by iron armour, which can repel musket shot, arrows, crossbow bolts, and shot from some small cannons and other light artillery. It is a Dwarven made 4 pounder cannon mounted in the hull, however the gun is very slow at reloading and is very inaccurate over any long distance. On the side are small slit like firing ports where crew members can use muskets or crossbows on foes that try to attack the metal beast from the sides. This strange, noisy, lumbering machine like many of Balzar's machines is considered the way of the future for the Dwarf but sadly for him, few people seem to share his vision. None the less, this machine is a force to be reckoned with.
