"Everyone! Strike at the vulnerable areas!"

Spear > Head of Construct

Try to backpedal away afterwards.

((Can I attack with both my rusty sword and hammer in the same turn?))

"Remember it is a golem. It may be better to hit legs and arms to damage their mobility and attack power."

Rodri swings his battle hammer at one of the smooth construct's legs after the rocky creature is distracted by his teammates.

(You have to know, this system revolves mostly on attack bonuses and penalties. So yes, you can attack with both weapons in the same turn, but the rusty sword itself for being rusty has a damage penalty [you only will know after you get it identified once you return], the dual attack gives a -1 damage penalty for each weapon, and a -10% base accuracy debuff on whichever weapon you choose. so yes, you can use both in the same turn.)

(also, there are retreating attacks (sorry for missing so much in OP, hard to include all this, or come up with all of these battle scenarios. Deal with me here) where they get a -2 damage penalty, but allow you to get out of reach of the enemy you jumped away from, giving them another roll for who they target, and if you it will do a charging attack with a -2 damage penalty) (all this is to avoid a simple "I attack, they attack, I attack, they attack" pattern until you're all dead. choices are what I''m striving for. I'll toss these in the OP, and others as they come up.)
But, I assume that for this turn Rodri is attacking a leg, Jerri will spell range- then attack it, and Lia will do a retreating attack.

----------------------------------------------------
Rodri swings his hammer at the golem, but as the hammer draws close it raises it's left (boulder) hand, knocking the hammer ever so slightly off balance. (6 damage) to smooth golem.

Jerri Jumps back further and fires off another blast at the golem. (2 damage.)

Lia Quickly sidesteps, lunging her spear at the golem. But it swings it's arm towards the spear, smacking it in the side and knocking it out of her grasp. (weapon dropped) oh dear...
----------------------------------------------------
The golem quickly rebounds it's arm, swinging into Rodri's gut, knocking him back. Rodri's HP- 1 (don't worry, your lethal is still at full)

(I have to tell you, this golem is getting very lucky rolls.)

"I could still use some healing."

Swing once more at one of its legs with the battle hammer.

"Limited power...What kind of armorer doesn't provide shields?!"

Retreat back, heal Rodri!

Lia turned to face the golem's visage, or any part of it that looked like it's eyes. "...I'm unarmed."

Rodri swings his hammer yet again, Tearing into the golem's leg, knocking off chips of stone removing its smooth appearance. (7 damage)

Jerri conjures a bolt of arcane power, concentrating on hitting his target hard... The lance of energy launches out, punching right through the golems leg, taking out the golems support and it falls down as it's left leg crumbles. (4 damage)

Lia draws more energy from the area, channeling it into Rodri. Rodri's HP- 5

"We need to take our chance now."

Bear the battle hammer down on the torso.

Siphon energy for later healing use from the general vicinity, or from the golem, preferring the golem if possible.

Rodri channels all of his might into swinging his hammer, feeling the power of his training surge into the swing, he caves in the chest with a single blow, splitting the golem in two. (Knight ability, 10 damage)
----------------------------------------------------------------
As the golem falls apart, Rodri notices a faint glimmer of glass lodged in the stone, he pulls it out, revealing a viscous black liquid inside of a flask, unfortunately you don't know what it is.

Enemy stats

Crumbling golem
Hp-10
Lethal HP-3
Strength- 6
Defense- 1 (natural)

Advos shield golem
HP- 16
Lethal HP-5
Strength- 7
Defense- 2 (natural)
Abilities- The large hand has double Lethal HP. If the hand is intact, It has a 25% chance to gain 1 Defense. If damage less than 0 is dealt to it, and if rolled to gain defense, it disarms the opponent.
Attacks- 3-5 unarmed damage, 60% accuracy

The disarming happened when Lia tried to spear the golem. The -3 damage penalty, combined with a roll of 1 for damage, (+1 because of strength) it also rolled a 25 exactly (going by 1-25 to get it) so it was able to block the attack, and knock your weapon out of your hands.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The room seems clear, the weak door still stands. Lia has 2 heals left. (Just to let you know, you can increase this with loot you can find.)

(What's your opinion on how the game is going? What do you like? What don't you like? Does something seem broken? Is there anything I could do better? I'm really willing to get feedback and suggestions.)

((What I don't like, you double posted.  :P
What I do like, the reveals afterwards, a tad bit more detail on what we're up against or the general party feeling, but I like it all!))

Lia went over to pick up the spear she recently lost. "This must be only the first of the many trials ahead.

"We should've stocked up on more essential equipment, like shields for one."
She stopped and looked upon the golem's corpse. "I suppose we can't improvise?"

Examine golem corpses.

"We did not have cash for it." Rodri notes before turning back to stare at the rusty sword.

Examine the sword.

"Improvise shields from what? Rocks and useless wood?"

Listen at the door for any sounds on the other side. See if I can smell whether any kobolds passed by recently.
