Of golem and an Elven king.

The rumbling outside turned out to be a siege golem activated by the bard-that-cannot-sing (even if his life depended on it, as witnessed previously) who escaped from the fray earlier. Since most of us were a bit worse for wear, we decided to make a break for it, not before I pelted it with a lightning bolt that conducted to the bard silencing him for good, as well as incinerated him. Welllll, the roof gave way at the same time too. But that's not important.

We made our way back into the office, clamouring under the table like the goodly people of Wa would in times of danger (as I was told by party-member Gingerbeer). But, man, was it crowded. Most of the Watch were taking cover there before us! They must have thought to sacrifice us in their place. Hrmph.

Having nowhere else to turn to, we ran out of the hole that Saheed had escaped from. When we got out we spotted a huge aircraft (like a Zeppelin) taking off! Subway shot a few arrows at it, but missed, and off it went. We have a hunch (and am very certain) that Saheed had taken off in that vessel. So, we were stranded almost a mile out of town (yes, we felt our hair falling) and behind us was the golem, wreaking havoc in town, destroying buildings, stepping on people, and... yea. Utter destruction. Personally I'm glad we made progress from destroying houses, caves, warehouses, inns to entire towns. Maybe we should aim for the world next?

What is adventuring without looting? Since the whole town was being vacated (by the insufferably good Paladin and Cleric), Subway and I decided to do a bit of plundering ourselves. Hahaa! We headed to the Duke's mansion to steal his valuables turn in the evidence we found in the warehouse, but instead of finding the Duke, we encountered this very odd (who am I to call others odd, huh. I've seen my fair share of odd people around) elf who claims to be the King of a kingdom consisting of his two friends. How... puny. Maybe we should conquer his "kingdom" someday. Hahahaha.
He tells us that his name is Gale, and he's a friend of the Duke. After much tussling about (since he refused to leave and let us loot the place), and after I bound him with black tentacles and threatened him to come with us, he finally agreed to take us to see the Duke, not before he got some documents from the Duke's office. Reaching the Duke's office, we found that it has been ravaged by god-knows-who and there wasn't much things of value left. Much to the disappointment of Subway and I.

Just when we were wondering what to do next, we hear loud rumbling sounds, again. The golem was headed our way! Gale showed us the way through a secret tunnel (that I happily *forgot* to tell him that it was lined with a lightning trap causing him to be zapped a little), and made for the town square to regroup with Gingerbeer and Azathar. The gallant Gale proposed that we finish off the golem for rewards (and fame) and well, it wasn't that bad an idea, honestly. So yes, the entire party challenged the golem, with the ranger distracting his attention, the gnome being stepped on, Gingerbeer running away, me and Azathar in the air above the golem, looking for a weak spot. We eventually found it and defeated the golem and got our fair share of rewards and a statue erected in our honor.

Az.
