Guardian Scarecrow

Effects
Dressed in an old, patched shirt and holey jeans, topped with a large brim hat, this Scarecrow is the Guardian of the Samhain Sector. As Warehouse Agent's can already attest to, artifacts tend to have a high sense of self-preservation. Therefore, it has not been uncommon for individual sectors to issue their own protective measures beyond that which is already in place by the Warehouse. The Samhain Sector is one of the better protected areas, largely due to this Scarecrow.

When placed into a plot of earth, the scarecrow creates a divertive force field, which extends until interrupted by a surrounding obstacle, such as a fence. The barrier 'slides' away the attention of whomever the Scarecrow deems undesirable to the area it is protecting, so they walk in an entirely different direction or are distracted by a different task. The field is less powerful the larger the area it protects, which is why efforts to have the Scarecrow protect the entire Warehouse have never worked on the desired scale.
