Description
An inactive apparatus of the octopus appears to be a large, sealed iron barrel big enough to hold two Medium creatures. Closer examination (and a successful DC 20 Perception check) reveals a secret catch that opens a hatch at one end. Anyone who crawls inside finds 10 unlabeled levers and seating for two Medium or Small occupants. These levers allow those inside to activate and control the apparatus's movements and actions.
