The golem’s fist penetrated the door.  Through it, Kham could see signs of combat taking place.  He was running out of options.  Kham dove behind crates and hid.WHAM! The door fell off its hinges.  The golem took a step forward, then hesitated.  It wheeled around, an axe jutting from the back of its head.Scarbelly roared a challenge.  “That’s right!  There’s more where that came from!”Sebastian pointed at the masked, midnight-cloaked figure that had thrown the grenade. Vlad and Beldin were helpless, trapped by magical spheres of force.  “Radius Incensio!”Fiery races sliced into the cloaked figure.  Bloody Vengeance soldiers unleashed a volley from their crossbows, peppering him with bolts.Two more bears appeared, momentarily distracting the golems from their targets.  The figure disappeared with a puff of smoke.“Run, coward!” shouted Scarbelly.  He yanked his axe out of the back of the golem, who swung around in confusion.  “I’ll make quick work o' your rag dolls!” Scarbelly hacked hard at the golem’s left ankle.  It snapped off, tripping the thing.  As the golem fell to the ground, orcs descended upon it, hacking and roaring.  Their ferocity was such that Sebastian took an involuntary step back.The remaining flesh golem grabbed both bears by their necks and discarded them aside without effort.  Prolk and Sebastian looked up at the looming shadow of the thing as it raised its fists…The angry retort of Dril’s rifle sang out.  What had once been the golem’s head exploded into its component parts. Orc and dark-kin were showered with brittle flesh and thread.“Thanks,” said Sebastian. “Come on!” shouted Scarbelly, his rage only temporarily abated.  “Coombs has got t' have a vault around here somewhere!”Kham peeked timidly out of the room where he had been hiding.  “So we won?”Sebastian glowered at him.  “Thanks to Scarbelly and the orcs of the Bloody Vengeance.”The val dusted himself off and ignored the comment.  Dril gave him a welcome excuse by waving a piece of parchment.“I found this on the floor.” Dril read it out loud. “It reads from left to right: three, five, seven, and two.”“That’s a combination,” said Sebastian.  “Let’s go stop Scarbelly before he gets us all killed.”Kham turned to Beldin and Vlad, standing helplessly in their own personal bubbles.  “You guys, uh…stay here.”</blockquote>
