The two monstrous creatures are dispatched with little effort, and in less than a minute's worth of combat. Digging into the cave in confirms Jarmuld's suspicions: based on debris left behind they are two of the three names on the wall. The third is a normal corpse, for whatever reason it never became a horrific creature of its own. Clearing the rest of the mine comes with similar challenges, traps and monsters and no shortage of golems. The heroes are justified in their purchases of adamantine equipment, as even with their considerable skill and prowess it would have been incredibly difficult to dispatch them otherwise. They also learned something down in the mines, especially in the absence of their flashy tricks, the four of them could work together well and developed trust.
The golems had, in fact, been tampered with. A mineral in the mine corrupted them, and when made into a paste it could be put on a golem and there was no trace of the tampering. Every other investigator was ultimately killed by these golems. The great twist, in the end, is the saboteur. Unrelated to any of their original suspicions, an up and coming company wanted to erode the reliability of golems and frame the largest human protection company in Orhill, able to fill the void themselves. With the culprit captured, and more than enough documentation to back up their claims. Presenting it before the council gets them the city's gratitude, as well as a cash bounty on top of the loot they acquired. They also receive hearty gratitude from Kingseat, perhaps more so for the letter they bring back from Anelia to the King himself... a perfume scented letter. End of Episode One |
