Alzar moves the Bronze Golem ahead and the chamber opens. The eerie glow of green phosphorescence lights this cavern. The mist from the plunging falls drifts through the cave and settles on the damages walls. On the back is the beginnings of some old, ruined structure, very old, with a door at the back. In a large pool at the bottom is a coalescing mixture of water and the oil and slime from various fungi.
There is a large, dragon looking creature here but it moves mechanically. This is a drolem, a golem designed to look like a dragon. Usually it uses dragon bones, much like a Bone Golem uses humanoid bones, and then layers on top with other, more defensive structures like iron or stone. But usally, it’s dragon scales themselves that are hardened to put overtop of the skeleton.
It takes almost a year to make a drolem, requires a wizard of at least 18th level of ability and at least 90,000 gp in materials. The materials are found only on Pandius.
This drolem – AC -3, HD 20, HP, 112, flies, ThACo 2, 2 claws, 1 bite for 2d6, 2d6, 1d20+10. 23000 XP if killed. Can also breathe – small poisonous cloud, save vs poison or die. Can only be hit by +2 weapons, immune to cold, acid, heat, and levels up to 4, and detects invisible.
Alzar has the Bronze Golem in front, and then the Stalker and Elemental behind by about 30 feet, and he’s behind those. He tries the Talisman of the Golem again. Maybe it will work this time on a more powerful golem…It rolls a….14. Ah well. Worth the try!
The Bronze Golem moves in, and the drolem moves to fight it. These aren’t smart and intelligent fighters, and the Stalker/Elemental is a tough duo to battle, plus the bronze golem too. (Random.org) the drolem finishes the golem, but is taken down by summoned creatures.
