	~~Whenever they can, lesser~~ constructs will prevent characters from dragging items or dead bodies. Aside from killing the construct, this can be mitigated by severing both of its arms, immobilizing it (such as with [[War_Cries#Carn.27s_Cry\|Carn's Cry]]), or goading it into another room, such as through the use of [[Divert]] or by sanctifying the current room and hoping its subsequent boredom causes it to walk away.		Lesser constructs will prevent characters from dragging items or dead bodies, but only once within a reasonable timeframe. Aside from killing the construct, this can be mitigated by severing both of its arms, immobilizing it (such as with [[War_Cries#Carn.27s_Cry\|Carn's Cry]]), or goading it into another room, such as through the use of [[Divert]] or by sanctifying the current room and hoping its subsequent boredom causes it to walk away.

	The white granite-like features of the lesser construct hold no hints of the giant creature's intentions or motivations. Its alabaster skin made more of the hardest rock than any living tissue makes the construct a formidable opponent for any who dare to trifle with it. Massing more than ten giantmen, it is a a mountain of rock when in motion and very little, man or animal can oppose its desired path of travel once it is in motion.		<pre{{log2\|margin-right=26em}}>The white granite-like features of the lesser construct hold no hints of the giant creature's intentions or motivations.
