It seems like the majority want a manly man Johnson McReady, so that is how this is ending up!
You live in the town of Faircliff, and in its namesake it is stationed at the top of a cliff, with several humble houses stationed, while this workshop is an important part of town. To where you are though,
You are waiting in your personal corner of the workshop. Your master should be here any minute now, to teach you how to inscribe runes on a provided sigil. But first, you must create the vessel. Seeing that you have put this off to the last minute, you should do that before your master gets here. you in fact, have quite a few options, and since it is a golem of this size you do not have to worry about time constraints.
First of all, what should it be made out of? you have a block of clay, a block of wood, and a block of sandstone, as well as a carving knife and chisel for forming it.
There are two body types you know of, Hardy, and sleek. one being like a bulky human, another being like a skinny one, their names implying how the effect the golem.
There are two hand types that you know of at the moment as well, simple grasp, and spine. The simple grasp has three graspers like simple fingers, and used for more interactions with objects, while a spine is simply for stabbing objects, picking locks, effectively a long spine.
There are three head types you know how to make too, round, spire, and cone, the cone being pointed towards the front, the spire being like a tall pyramidal shape, and round being a generic sphere.
Lastly, where the sigil shall go, it could really be anywhere but you would most practically put it in the head or the body.
