Retreat and wait until hallway is clear ( as swords are no good against stone....) and then follow the rest of the group onwards.

Use Push to try to get the golem jammed in the hallway at an angle we should still be able to get through.

Cast Summon Ancestral Spirits, and send them to stop the golem.

With a mighty call you summon your ancestral spirits. They come grumbling, but you're still a relative and so they quickly move to help.

[15] Individually your ancestors are not very strong or beefy (especially cousin Ned...), but as a group the spirits easily manage to stop the golem in its tracks.

Attack the golem from the side

Deciding to forgo this entire pun-based shtick for now, you just charge at the golem with your bear hands claws.

[AUTOSUCCESS] The golem occupies the entire hallway and thus is far too large to attack from the side. So you'll just have to be content with gouging its face out. 1 damage

Yell some pirate-sounding stuff and throw something at the golem.

You mumble something pirate-sounding under your breath, not because you can't think of anything, but because you're clearly too busy preparing for the most important throw of your life. Yeah...

[AUTOSUCCESS] Grabbing the first thing in your pack, you chuck it at the golem with all the force of your mighty seaman's arms. 1 damage

Admittedly some flint and tinder shouldn't do so much damage, but meh. Rules are rules, I guess.

Face golem.

ABOUT. FACE.

Grab pants, bend over and pull down, exposing rear to golem.

HOW'S THIS FOR PIRATE BOOTY!?

[2] Sea-Wolf is quite interested in your pirate booty, but the golem is not. Probably something to do with that whole 'being made of stone' thing. Or maybe because it's an elephant and isn't attracted to that kind of thing. Who knows?

Razdak takes a nibble of his Barovian Roquefort in celebration of a job well done.

Such a finer cheese cannot be found for such a fine job. Ah... delicious.

Sit in a corner waiting until the hallway is safe again (or more correctly until all visible traps are gone.

You twiddle your thumbs. Ho-hum. You do have throwing knives, you know.

Yay, consciousness!
I'm going down the manhole thingy, searching for traps and secret doors as I go.

Finally!

[15 + 5] With all indications showing that the manhole is safe, you cautiously open it finding...

FIREBALLS! Burn the stone!

Can fire burn stone? Probably. But are your fireballs hot enough to do so?

[1] Yeah, I thought so too. Your fireball splashes harmlessly off the golem's exterior, doing nothing more than giving Claw a few singed hairs. Claw replies to your inadvertent attempt at teamkilling with a witty and no-doubt awesome pun. Of course the GM isn't good enough at wordplay to make one up on the spot, so you'll just have to use your imagination, okay?

Retreat and wait until hallway is clear ( as swords are no good against stone....) and then follow the rest of the group onwards.

You challenge Cairn to a thumb-twiddling contest, seeing as the golem is still blocking the passageway and probably will continue to do so for some time. Of course, being a Rogue, Cairn easily wins. Curses.

Use Push to try to get the golem jammed in the hallway at an angle we should still be able to get through.

[10] The golem resists all your attempts to jam it, mostly because it's rollers are almost the width of the entire hallway. Yeah, I have no clue how it goes around corners either. Magic, probably.

Speaking of the golem, it's now its turn, isn't it?

Seeing Claw in front of it, trying to gouge out its face, the golem charges foward to reduce him to paste.

...

Of course the golem is still held back by Malaken's ancestors and Karnii's push spell and does nothing more but ruin the floor. However it does manage to shake off most of the spirits (especially that whimp Ned), and Karnii's Push spell can't last forever...

See? I posted a turn without prodding! I'm getting back into the habit of being a not-terrible GM!

Okay, back into the habit of being a more punctual GM. Geez.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Without even looking up from his cheese, Razdak fires a Dumbfire Magic Missile at the golem.

Compose some pirate-y one-liners, then throw something else at the golem.

Suddenly become a cousin Ned and jump into the manhole, following Wall II.
Edit: Greatly urge everybody else to follow suit.

I'm gonna continue down the hall, searching for traps and secret doors, following any turns in the passage, and only stopping when I come across traps, enemies, a branch in the path, or anything else that would seriously impede my progress(Sphere of annihilation, puzzle door, sheer drop, etc.)

I (somehow) wield a marble coffin that i fill with the corpses of all I have slain (to make an already heavy object even heavier) in one hand, and the other holds a book made out out of fucking platinum. The book can crush skulls, and the coffin grows ever stronger and now that is has a few dead dragons in it, it sends people flying a mile backwards to explode in a pile of gore. Gore which I then place into the coffin,

EDIT: By popular demand:

Can I join?

Of course! The more the merrier! Plus, given the death rate (high), anybody can join/re-join at any time, so you have no excuses not to!
Count me in.
