The mage had been experimenting in building an iron golem and had used his apprentice's spirit as the power source for the creature. It had gone berserk and killed the mage just a couple of days before the players showed up.Now the party was trapped on an island (average level 6) with a psychotic iron golem marauding about. The party had to figure out what had happened and then figure out how to deactivate the golem - since direct combat would have been suicidal.They managed it too, with only one player death - the gnome rogue fumbled during the final action, just before they could use the deactivation device, and got squished. Golem toe jam.It was a great scenario, lots of atmospheric stuff, with the golem's foot steps echoing through the forest as it approached, the half destroyed magical laboratory and the wizards empty manor house.Equal parts Frankenstein, Predator and the Island of Dr Moreau.</blockquote>
