The hunt for goldenfire (Afina and Jaela, later Surraruthru too)

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru eyes it for a moment, but temporarily dismisses it as the others' problem as he takes in the area, looking for any traps or tricks, as they've run into a few already.

[Anastasia]

How are you searching the area, Surraruthru? Where and how?

[Iron Dragoon]

Initially I'd just visually check the area (Trapfinding) before entering the room where the golem is before entering, as everything we've run across has been proximity so far. If that comes up clear, I'd probably edge in, but stick to the outside area of the room, along walls and stuff, trying to be stealthy. I do have True Seeing (which I forgot to put in my stat block, added), so I dunno if that comes into effect here.

No traps or anything - but the moment Surraruthru comes through the archway, the golem comes to life. It takes a single step forward, massive bulk overshadowing the party and making the ground shake. It's up and moving!

Init, the golem reacts once someone crosses the archway.

Afina, you open. Anyone can make K:A to learn more. You know it's an adamantine golem from what you saw just before the maze, but details on them aren't automatically known to y'all.

Jaela can recall that you need an adamantine weapon of the strongest enchantments to properly damage an adamantine golem. Oh, and they heal fast, too. Quite fast.

[Corwin]

"Mirajane was right about that huge sword!" Jaela calls out. "Adamantine! You need adamantine to bring it down!"

Or, I presume, a transmuting weapon like Gae Trocaire.

"They can conjure steel walls out of nothing," Kascha calls, "Don't get blocked by them!"

[Ebiris]

Afina does as she always does and casts haste on the party to start things off!

As everyone is gleefully accelerated past mundane speeds she draws Afame and flies towards the golem, her floating disk moving a mere twenty feet so as to remain within her range of maintenance. "Help yourself to the sun sword if you think you can carry it!" she calls even as she brazenly leads the attack, drawing Afame and stabbing into the golem's shoulders before darting back twenty feet away from it.

Afame is a Linthrum/Adamantine alloy so hopefully strikes as adamantine for overcoming DR. It's a +5 weapon, though I did ask around the end of the original game if it became epic when Afina did and never got an answer 'cause of the game ending.
