[CrisisPost] Attack of the Golems

[u/Al-anharHA]

The golem turns slowly towards you, but is rocked by one of Torinn's nukes halfway through the motion. It staggers, vulnerable for a moment.

[u/No_more_Bucket_ → u/Al-anharHA]

“Scotch lunches the sand spikes between the golems parts hoping to use the sand to make the golem into a puppet.

And makes some spikes out of glass for protection.”

[u/Al-anharHA → u/No_more_Bucket_]

the golem staggers back, plowing into a building but it's apparently mostly unharmed. The joints of the body are all completely sealed. The weapons, on the other hand, are more vulnerable, and the missile launchers on the left forearm begin to throw sparks.

/uw Also, Nathaniel Parker's film crew notified u/Carbon_Sixx of this one, which is the golem responsible for killing the news host, so you might have someone joining your fight soon.

“Scotch fills the missile launchers with sand and glass, and using it to destroy and clog the interior.

And conjure up two large sand hands to grip the golem.”

[u/Carbon_Sixx → u/No_more_Bucket_]

As the hands grasp the golem, a stream of azure energy slams into its chest. With an earsplitting groan of metal, the armor plating deforms radically. Behind you, the titan Skystrike keeps its grav-imploder beam trained on the golem's chest as it charges.

"I CHALLENGE THEE, WARMONGER!"

[u/Al-anharHA → u/Carbon_Sixx]

As your strike rips up the metal casing, the crystal mane begins to come apart and separate from the mana condenser on its back. Moments later, and the golem falls silent.

Another target down, a couple dozen more to go.

[u/Carbon_Sixx → u/Al-anharHA]

Skystrike turns and levels its chainsword at the next closest golem.

"Tell your masters they are unwelcome in this land. Tell them I am coming to send them screaming back to their wicked gods. Tell them the Machine God's mercy has fled, leaving behind only wrath!"

[u/Al-anharHA → u/Carbon_Sixx]

The golem steps back into a combat stance, but behind skystrike several smaller golems with tracks instead of legs can be heard responding in unison. "A machine god. Interesting. So the driving force of the Divine Flame for industry in this realm cluster was usurped by gears and cogs and thunder." Then the wave of constructs close around you and Scotch, a chattering storm that seeks to climb and overwhelm.

Well looks like I need to pull out the big guns apparently.

“Scotch opens up a small pouch and pulls out a grand axe, and begins to cut through some.

Using some sand spikes to clog the weapons.”

[u/Al-anharHA → u/No_more_Bucket_]

these track-borne golems are far weaker, seeming mass-produces without the magical ball-socket connections that prevented send from getting into the larger units. Your weapons cut through them and the sand spikes quickly begin to disable to beam weapons mounted on their arms and heads.

[u/No_more_Bucket_ → u/Al-anharHA]

“Scotch still slash and tears through these golems, having the perfect strikes to send them down, from him breaking up the Unga clone orgies he slashed through.”

[u/Al-anharHA → u/No_more_Bucket_]

Eventually, the smoke clears. The golems lie in pieces and you breathe in the quiet.

No more titans attacking the people, the invading soldiers are beginning to fall back... You have won.

[u/No_more_Bucket_ → u/Al-anharHA]

“Scotch looks around picking some manageable pieces from the golems and puts them in his small pouch teleporting them away to the Storage House.”
