"Pinpehlu! The golem is not very large. Perhaps you can hold it before it falls into the river!" cried Dubi Gan.

Panicking, Miu takes his rope out of his rucksack and tries to tie the gollem's legs together!

OOC: It's a 2d5 roll under, right?
2D6 = [6, 1] = 7
Second Sight is 6
OOC: You made it because your base skill is 5, you have +1 for your advanced skill and you have +1 for your epop staff.
The rushing is not particularly a good condition to examine the box. However, you are sure of a few things. First there is definitely something magical in the box. Not powerful but... something. Second, the box seem to have some kind of magic muffling capacity - you would know much more if the box was open

I am going to try and stop them, maybe open the box and we can give them the empty box and tell them they need to retry on the delivery. I dart up to the golem servent stop! The wind clan commands it!

Miu will mention this to the others at a more opportune moment...

Oof, a lot of things to mention at once.
@tuffghost12 you are too busy with the rope to take a second look at the content of the box. I'm not going to make you make a further check - you're assisting and deploying rope
@JustinCase make a strength check (or come up with a clever plan
)
@Fradak what is subotai doing?
@FitzTheRuke are you helping with the rope or are you trying something else?
@wingilbear the box is tightly packed with straw. After you yank it out, you find a strange object - made of brass, a few ... bulbs or sphere, interconnected with metal tubes. You have no idea what it is or what it's for. It's about the size of a grapefruit. It doesn't look super fragile, but it's not particularly sturdy either.
You look up and shout commands at the golem, but to no avail - it is single mindedly marching up the bridge.

the magical equivalent to the number zero
"Watch our possessions," Pinpehlu says to his companions as he drops the yoke from his shoulders and rushes forwards, a few meters past the marching golem.
Then he turns, and says with a short bow, "The Old Bridge is out. There is a new one over there," he points to his right, "So I'll have to stop you if you insist on going forward."
The porter takes a deep breath and braces himself to stop a golem -- the thought alone is daunting!

OOC: woah that's not what I imagined you would do, so let's roll with it! In Troika, monsters don't have advanced skill in general, but this is something gm have to use discretion, in some cases some creatures with "ok" combat skills should be particularly good at some tasks. I think you would agree with me that golems are in general strong creatures. So based on all this, I'm assigning it a modified score of 10.
The rotund man leans against the golem. It does not strike at you, it simply pushes forward. You almost manage to stop it. There is a murmur among the onlookers - just slowing down a golem is impressive, can he succeed?
golem strenght check vs pinpehlu: 2D6+10 = [1, 5]+10 = 16
No. It is very close, but the metal being has imply more mass and more importantly, more traction than Pinpehlu, who is slowly forced back. You are now maybe 20 feet from the edge of the bridge.

"Err," says Pinpehlu with more than a little concern in his voice. "A hand, please, friends?"
