[QUOTE="Tatsukun, post: 1689599, member: 15511"] HI guys / gals, Our party has a problem that needs a creative solution. We are 8th level, and we need to get into the top level of an abandoned wizard's tower to snoop around and look for clues as to where the wizard is and why he's gone. But, there is an iron golem in that room. The first time we went in there, we got spanked hard and ran like little gnomes. We charmed a troll / fighter and got him to hold the golem off for a few rounds, which bought us enough time to ascertain that we really need to get in that room and do a good search (take 20 in every square). The tower is 5 floors, and the golem will chase anyone down the stairs and to the front door before returning to the top room. The building is 100% stone, so we thought about using 'stone shape' to destroy the stairs after luring the golem to the first floor, but the DM told us the thing would climb Jackie Chan style up the shaft left. Our only thought now is to attack every day to wear the thing down (none of the PC's know if it can heal). For reference, the party is… Human Fighter 8 Dwarf Barbarian 2 / Fighter 4 / Champion of Gwynharwyf 2 Human Cleric (Pelor) 8 Dwarf Fighter 4 / Rogue 3 Human Wizard 9 We are in a fairly large city, but tend to be low on cash. The barbarian has an adamantine weapon, but special materials are very rare and require quests to gain, so no buying more adamantine. Any ideas? Plans? Thanks as always for the input! -Tatsu [/QUOTE]
