You briefly consider chaining the necromancer in the basement but several voices point out that you are already in the basement and that it would be hard to do anything in this illfitting body. You attempt to pet the dog. However the large dog who's now chewing lightly on your foot trips you and you fall over, And trying to catch yourself manage to break one of your hidden arms. Good thing you don't feel pain.

I rolled a three on the pet the dog. With a minus 2 due to jerky unsettling movements and another -2 for being undead (which animals hate)
you failed the roll. rolled to stop from falling. another 3  with -5 for jerky movements. any tips on how to display my rolls in a manner which isn't so awkward. also i'm using random .org for my dice rolls.

I guess we should just sit down, since this body doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon.

As your Creator summoner and murderer I Dothki Nathul command you to put this cloak on, don't try to kill me, deal with your sis- ah former sister and don't try to kill me, Fix your arm, and lastly don't try to kill me. I'm going to go rest for a bit. Your creation has left me drained.

Dothki hold out a dark cloak which you take. He then leaves the room trailed by his faithful hounds.
You can almost feel a subtle weight settle around your mind as the compulsion take hold.

Why did keep telling us not to try to kill him? Like such a thing would ever cross our minds. How could we kill our dear dear master?

 Lets go pay a visit to this "sister" thing. But first things first.
With a swelling of your souls you righten the broken bone and mend the wounded flesh. -15 Power.
you then attempt to wear to wear the cloak but can't find enough places for your arms. Must be an inferior Product. You settle for Draping it over yourself.

It'd take a whole lot more than that to kill you. Being hacked into bits is a minor inconveince.

yeah I'm using virtual d20s till some one tells me why I can't use d20s for my almost entirely Improvised system.
knowing nerd it should happen annnnnytime now.

Also we need names for the dog. so far all we have Is havok.

I should also mention that while you can suggest action for the necromancer to perform at this point I have total veto rights. He's sorta the thing that keeps the plot moving. for now
As with all the characters I plays this guy hold a mortality chip. As in he can and probably will die at some point.

[EveryZig]

We should go find our (ex) sister then. And then stare at her, as our master didn't actually specify what to do with her.

You might want to make it more clear which parts are thoughts/actions, and which parts are people talking (and who is saying it for scenes with multiple characters).

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

You head through the dim passageway unsteadily to a small room dug out from the dirt,where you find yourself before before a small armless figure. The figure appears to be insensate and tied to a stake in the ground by means of a sturdy rope.

This must be that "sister" thing the master told me of. You take a moment to consider how you should "deal" with it.

Right I'll colour everbody's thought and speech text from now on. The Flesh golem can't really talk (yet) but it can understand language. Whats more a golem Is better then a zombie in that it has it's own free will (to an extent) so while short of total rebellion it has to obey it's masters commands it's interpretation and method for obeying are decided by the golem, It can also take initative and act for itself whereas a zombie is little more then a puppet.

For example lets put a necromancer we're in a crowd, and say a group of bandits we're attacking. if The necromancer, Who's not all that bad say " protect us" meaning  Me the necromancer and the crowd, the flesh golem could take it as "Protect Us" The necromancer and the golem. and start using villagers as human shield and projectile weapons. Or the could decide that the best way to protect everyone would be to pick them up and throw them up onto the safety of the roofs

[Zako]

Poke it a few times and see what it has to say. Maybe it knows something?

[GlyphGryph]

Silly Necromancer. We have no intent of killing him. Luckily he didn't say anything about chaining him up and forcing him to do what we want!

So, is it just verbal commands we have to follow? We'll probably have to gag him eventually. How do we hear? I'm reminding of the "random evolution monsters" in Sluggy Freelance that was built to follow verbal orders... but then it evolved away its ears and things sort of went down hill.

So if we can't hear the orders, we don't have to follow them, right? What about orders from those other than our pet necromancer?

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

You poke Priscilla With the tip of your toe And She Wakes  with a start.
"sister Is that you, How did yo- Oh god What did they do to you?! Are ... ARE THOSE MY ARMS?!"
Priscilla Falls into a kind of hysteria, Moaning, crying and praying to her weak Impotent gods. What do you do? This would be easier If the master had been more specific.

Among the spells to keep a golem in check there are ways for a skilled necromancer to control a golem with nothing more then their mind. The question Is How skilled is Dothki? Can he use the spells neccesarry to restrain You. Can he use them in his sleep? As for obeying others well  with the exception of necromancy there is no way to control a flesh golem and other necromancers can't usurp Dothki's control. But should Dothki die You're free game to any necromancer powerful and crazy enough to cast the appropriate spells on you. Another necromancer may adopt you then.

 I feel a need to explain where Flesh golems stand in the Heirachy of undead and constructs. They are generally at the top of the food chain. As an undead Flesh golems feed of the souls which create other lessr Ghouls. Should any undead from lowly zombie to the famous nosferatu or vampire come too close to a flesh golem they quickly start dying as the golem drains them of their essence. As such having a flesh golem is a mark of prestige among necromancers partly because of their strength and partly because almost nobody knows how to make them, thanks to many book burnings and witch hunts.

Among those who do know how to make them rarely dare to try due to the danger involved. (most flesh golems kill their creator instantly after creation.) and because once you make a flesh golem it becomes impossible to raise any other form of undead. You put all your eggs in one basket so to speak.

 As an construct flesh golems are the Only organic golem in existance and the special characteristic is growth. Most golem are Initially more powerful then a fledgling flesh golem, But No non-organic golem has anything resembling free will. They are more like robots, running according to a preset program. This limits their use, and secondly It's impossible to modify them after creation. After being animated a Stone/metal/ whatever golem is of set strength but a Flesh golem has unlimited growth potential. It can keep getting stronger.

[Zako]

Hmm.... This is difficult. Perhaps the master will know what to do? Or perhaps he will give more specific orders when pressed? Either way, pick her up and take her to him. This will also be a good test of our strength. Make sure that we don't break her!

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

 Natural 20.

Deciding that this would best be a matter left to the master you easily pick the girl up. At first she struggles but with only her legs to attack you with you find it easy to restrain her. Slinging her overyour shoulder You carry her to where the master sleeps.
Her loud cries wake the master who then yells at you to "Dispose of the accursed brat and Let me get my rest!"
