"Simply put, I want to proclaim the Golem. The magical tower is is only useful for a fellow who doesn't want to do general exploring and whatnot, I am not the one is going to become a reclusive librarian. Agalas, why don't you want the Tower, you seem like the person who doesn't want to enter a fight, and fights are going to be aplenty with that precious divination crystal. Tirrkur you seem like a headstrong type , or something of that nature, why don't you and Agalas trade and get the Divination crystal. Than Agalas can lay claim to the tower, and everything can go on and work it self out. I just want the Golem, and since I'm going to go on a more dangerous path than you two, a bodyguard would really be welcomed."
"So be it then. If you have nothing against it Agala I shall take the power then."
She agrees. You return to your master and tell him of your decision. He nods and takes it to acount. He goes down to you and gives each of you a warm hug.
You are send off as the master wants to settle the tower and the crystal ball first, so you decide to walk downstairs back to the feast.
One of the glassmakers, Jareek, apears. You are on good terms, even though you find this person quite peculiar. It seems as if he was a baby born into the
body of a giant. Every motion of him seems to be clumsy and unporpusefuly. Yet, when he starts to work in his workshop he creates miracles of crystal and glass.
"Say, you were with the master, weren't you?" "Sure, the master is going to leave, I asume you know that." "Yes. ... So who gets the tower?" You raise an eyebrow,
amused about the blunt curiosity your friend portrays. "Tirrkur. I took the golem." "Of course you did."
You raise a glass of wine and drink to Springsteen.
After a while of partying you go to sleep. As the sun awakens you, you see your master standing and the doorstep.
"Ah, I came at the right time. Come with me, I will show you the golem."
You walk down to the cellar of the tower. Now that took long.
As you enter the circular room, you lay eyes on the famous golem. It sits with its legs crossed within seven pillars of glass and plays chess with itself.
You have never seen it, this is amazing.
"This is perhaps my masterpiece. Though the credit doesn't go all to myself. Other wizards were involved, that and a shaman. It was an interesting
experiment I came up with after travelling with some Lizardman tribes, befriending them on the go. The actual knack on this thing is. It is an elemental spirit,
bound to this body, so it can carry mana, and with the right crystals right much so. I took my good crystal out though, but the one you have in there should
be like 5 mana. Oh well..." Here he looks to the side as if trying to change the subject. "Anyway, the golem has a name. It is Kralec. He does not like when
one swears at him, doesn't take it well. He is quite educated. Ah see for yourself. KRALEC!"
The big humanoid rock stands up almost imediately and walks slowly towards the two of you.
"Greetings master"
"Hello Kralec. See this young man there. This is Walker, don't be afraid he is a sharkman, there is nothing wrong with him." You scoff at this.
"He will be your new master now."
Kralec looks at you deeply, he nods.
You pack your things, and a weeks ratio of food in your backpack. You have a seperate pouch where you have your water in several bottles. You saddle your horse.
As your old friends wave you goodbye, you realize you have only 5 Gould. You bet if you get to Kalydia you can find some work. Just like your master you
will learn the way of sand from the desert herself.
There is two roads to get to Kalidyia. The Northern road goes through a rocky pass, while the southern goes through the open desert. Both ways are about the same lengths, so its a gut thing.
Kralec waits for you to make a decision patiently.
