The Northern Pass [POST HERE FIRST]

Kiara stays silent, looking at the card and trying to figure out what all this means..

The appearance of the golem had immediately intrigued the wizened necromancer gnome, and he had brought out his latest construct, an undead giant fused with armor and in similar proportions to the golem. It wielded a massive stone club and a large metal shield, and strode forward over the remains of the gate to engage the golem.

Frankeneblin cackled with glee at the sight of the two behemoths about to go toe to toe with one another, multiple animated suits of armor around him as protection, several more off to free those trapped in the rubble. The golem would prove an interesting study, and if he dealt with it then perhaps he would be able to keep the remains. He was no fool though, and began charging mana into the staff he carried with him, taking care to stay well back from the behemoth fight that was about to ensue.

(Charge 1)

Brother William sensed the welcomed presence of another defender. The priest-mage would hold his attack for now and let the wizard's animations slow the golem's advance.

"Can you handle another one, Brother John?" William said.

"Of course! And more." The disciple answered with excitement.

"Very good.  Heart of the Mountain!" The mages ring now shone with a brilliant light that could blind those who stared to long.

The guards in the basement settle in properly and prepare to wait it out. They maintain that Isran command has been informed and is taking action, and they seem to think that they won't be stuck as they are for more than a day. 

[The guards in the basement may be skipped in the turn order indefinitely.]

The enormous golem, slow and ponderous as it was, would be able to adjust its course as it advanced towards the giant. A mere step to the left would not be enough to foil it entirely. Due to the golem having to turn and chase the giant a bit further, however, the giant would be able to get in its first hit, as the golem seemed to not make any attempt to dodge the attack and would instead charge straight on now.

The huge weapon made of stone the giant wielded would strike on top of the golem's frame, sending a booming sound throughout the valley as the two enormous forces collided. The golem seemed unphased by the attack, as it continued to charge, the only signs of damage the slight crumbling of some stone on the top of its frame. The density of the golem's composition seemed to make it quite durable to such attacks. 

The Golem would reach out with one of its long arms as it closed on the giant, seeking to grab the arm with which the giant struck with its club. Its vice-like hands, which seemed built more to clamp onto things and never let go rather than perform more intricate tasks would not be freed without tearing a huge chunk of flesh with it, or perhaps the arm should it get a hold of the giant. 

As this went on, the runes carved into the golem's frame and the crystal at its heart still glowed brightly as ever with magic.

<charge 2>

<I've only just now noticed William is absent, we shall continue on without him I suppose>

The golem would start to take a bit of damage from the repeated shield bashes but would remain relatively whole and functional as it did not let go of it's grasp upon the giant's arm. The golem would use its considerable advantage in mass given the similar size of it compared to the giant yet denser composition to attempt to overpower the giant. It would do this by jerking violently on the arm that it had a hold of to try and pull the giant off balance and to the ground.

Meanwhile the magic the golem channeled continued to grow in intensity, to the point where it seemed some traces of magic escaped its form as it emanated from the brightly glowing runes that covered its frame, leaving behind faint trails of glowing purple mana with every movement. 

<Charge 3>

The massive golem would offer no response to Dr. Frankenblin's words, except for emitting an ear-splitting high-pitched sound, unmistakably the sound of massive amounts of magical energy being channeled. The huge purple gem in the golem's chest would be glowing as bright as a miniature sun embedded within it at this point as it seemed to be gathering all the magic it had charged into one singular point within the gem. 

Even the runes which had once glowed now seemed to lose their luminosity, as all power was concentrated into the golems next attack, as a ray of magical energy burst from the purple gem. The beam of magical energy destroyed all in its path instantly, and the golem would sustain it for about five seconds.

During this time, the Golem would move the magic beam to not only slice and burn through the giant before it, but also to target Dr. Frankenblin behind it.

The golem would, of course, fall into the hole formed below it, pulled down by the giant hands summoned by the necromancer.  

Within seconds the Golem would be gone, fallen into the portal with all traces of it gone.

As the sun rose in the morning, a lone figure could be seen running towards the guy. A young blonde woman, around 5'5" in height and wearing a blue summer dress, panted as she ran up to the guard gate. She stopped in front and bent over to catch her breath.

"Am...Am I..." She panted a little before sighing and standing up straight.

"Am I too late for the festival?" She called to the guards. "I heard there was a festival happening soon but I overslept! Did I miss it?"
