Immunity to Magic A stone golem is immune to any spell or
spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition,
certain spells and effects function differently against the
golem. A transmute rock to mud spell slows a stone golem
(as the slow spell) for 2d6 rounds with no saving throw,
while transmute mud to rock heals a wounded golem of
all its lost hit points. A stone to flesh spell does not
change the golem’s structure, but the spell negates the
creature’s damage reduction and immunity to magic for
1 round.
Slow (Su) Range 10 feet; duration 7 rounds; Will DC 17
negates. A stone golem can use a slow effect (as the
spell) as a free action once every 2 rounds.
FEATURES OF THE AREA
The Chapel of Reverence has the following features.
Shattered Sarcophagus: Treat these squares as dense rubble
(DMG 60). Nothing remains within the shattered sarcophagus
except the jumbled bones of a powerfully built male human.
Characters who stand atop the sarcophagus can gain a +1 melee
attack bonus for fighting from higher ground.
Light Rubble: Squares adjacent to the shattered sarcophagus
contain light rubble (DMG 60).
Slender Pillar: Each pillar has AC 4, hardness 8, and 900
hit points. Slender pillars grant a +2 cover bonus to Armor
Class and a +1 cover bonus on Reflex saves to characters in
the same square.
Balcony: A flight of 5-foot-wide stairs leads up to this
10-foot-high balcony. Characters on this terrace using weapons
with reach can strike targets in floor squares that are adjacent
to the balcony. The stairs are considered steep stairs and affect
the movement of creatures climbing up or down the steps (DMG
63). In addition, while on the stairs and attacking opponents
below them, creatures gain a +1 melee attack bonus for fighting
from higher ground. Finally, a low stone balustrade around
the balcony grants cover to anyone behind it.
ENCOUNTER 6-3
CONCLUSION
Emmara does not want to die and tries to leave if combat
goes badly. Ordering any surviving golems to cover her
retreat, she uses dimension door to transport herself (and her
howler, if it is still alive) to the Chambers of the Keepers
(area 6). She quickly grabs her spellbook from its hiding
place and uses the secret door to reach the top of Elliast’s
Spire. Once there, she drinks one or more potions of cure
serious wounds and waits to see if the PCs discover her
bolthole. If they find her, she drinks her potion of fly and
flees to the mainland.
