Stand up and attack Golem 1 with my voulge.
You stand up and charge at the first golem, (1+2) swinging your voulge wildly, (RTD 4) but the golem moves out of the way and avoids your attack.
Rune of Warding fails quite frequently.
I attempt to separate the first golem from its spirit energy. My skeletons continue as they are.
You try to remove the golem's power source (4+3) and locate the spirit powering the golem. You try to pull it out (Luck 3) but the runes engraved into the golem seem to be imprisoning it somehow. (Resist 5) The golem ends up shaking off your attack.
+1 to NecromancyYay, more fails. At least I got a wall out of it.
Stone Spirit heals me. I, with renewed vigor will slam my warhammer on to the Black Golem 2 producing a Shockwave, hopefully shattering it from within.
You have your spirit heal you (3+1) and it complies. (Luck 4) Your wounds are partially healed.
You then grab your hammer and charge at the golem, (6+2) delivering a powerful blow to it. (RTD 1) The golem remains rooted in place, and your hammer connects with the dark metal with a thundering *ClUd*, which sends shockwaves through the creature and into the ground. (Resist 1) The shockwaves reverberate through the metal and and tear the creature to shreds within a couple seconds. (Resist 2) The shockwaves are also powerful enough to knock you off balance, and you fall over.
+4 to HammersCast Cure Moderate Wounds on Kin.
Order my golem to pin down Golem 1, but, you know, not because he's black or anything.
You go to heal Kin (2+1) but you are distracted by the flying pieces of shrapnel from the second golem that just blew up, and mess up your spell. (Luck 6) You manage to let the energy you stored up dissipate instead of blasting Kin with it, at least.
...well, at least the golems can't hurt me.
I cast soul bind on the evil book of evil, binding it's evil soul(of evil probably) to the cage I'm in. Now, this should work well as long as a bad luck roll doesn't make it not obey me...
You lay your right hand on the book and the left on the stone cage, and attempt to transfer the soul of the book into the cage. (4+2) You contact a dark sentience within the pages, a creature that you sense is no ordinary soul, but rather... thousands of other souls that were spliced into a single entity, then fused into the book, an agonizing painful process that drove those souls mad. (Luck 1) This shocking revelation causes you to let down your defenses, and suddenly the sentience escapes the pages and flees into your body. (Luck 1) The mass of maddened souls overwhelms you, and possesses your body. You try to fight back, thinking "I must kill the demons!" when you realize with horror that now you
are the demons.
Damn. Your guy was my favorite, too.
Collect some fist sized stones, and begin throwing them at Golem 1 from a safe distance.
Have The gelatin attempt to use it's holy base compontent mixed with natural dissolving abilities to eat golem 1's leg off.
You pick up several rocks and throw them at the golem. (3+1) the rocks fly towards the creature, (RTD 5-1) and thud into it's metal body. Unfortunately they don't seem to have much effect, though you think you might have dented it... maybe.
+1 to ThrowingForce Bolt the injured Golem.
You throw a force bolt at the golem, (6+2) which travels with lightning speed. (RTD 6-1) The golem tries to dodge, but hampered by frost(and a slime eating it's legs) it can't get out of the way. The bolt impacts and deals heavy damage to the creature.
+2 to MetamagicWoops! Sorreh.
Frost on unfrosted golem
You build up a wave of frost, (6+3) but noticing the golem is already riped to shreds, send it at the other one instead. (Luck 3) but it seems to be rather weak. That's probably a good thing, since you would have hit more friends than foes if it really worked.
+1 to ElementalismNirur's skeleton remains locked in a metal war with the remaining golem. (1+1) the skeleton attacks the golem, (1+1) who counters in turn. The backlash ends up destroying both creatures.
Dragnar's body undergoes a horrifying change. He screams in agony as blood red scales pierce his flesh, horns grow from his head and leathery wings sprout from his back. His hands turn into claws, and dark blades grow from his arms. His body twists and deforms, and his head balloons momentarily before shrinking again as several eyestalks emerge from his head. Several extra orifices grow, and this creature's eyes - all 12 of them - look upon the group with bloodlust while both his mouths hang gaping open. As the changes finally seem to slow down and stop, you realize this creature is more than a demon; it is an abomination.
