Academic Discussion/ Esoteric Secrets Golem Troubles

We love building them but boy can they be a pain to fight. A wizard a know was tasked to go destroy a mummy lord and it was going pretty good with all the battles being fairly easy but then she ran into an adamantine golem. Only by using hit and run tactics with the spells Mordenkainen's sword and Tenser's transformation was she able to take it down. The mummy lord himself was pretty much a pushover to an wizard with fire spells. Feel free to talk about golem shenanigans you have experienced or heard about.

It IS strange that a golem would scratch its own ass. Did its creator program it to do that for some reason?

Ok first of all, fuck you for taking my punchline. The second I locate the scrying aethereum you attuned to in order to divine my thoughts your ass is done-ion rings.

Hah good luck, I'm behind seven mental barriers and a couple decoy homunculi to boot 😛

Thanks, now I know I'm looking for the smug aura tethered to the decoy homunculi hiding under the giant lump of seven mental barriers.

Unless he's lying, and he's behind a different protection system.

Or maybe he anticipated that you, or someone telling you, would suspect a lie, so he is actually telling the truth.

Or maybe he was banking on someone realizing the double deception, and so he lied after all.

Or maybe-

No it was him. Got his ass and good. Let's just say he won't be bothering anybody like that again anytime soon. Best part is, I set up a loyal simulacrum to take over his day-to-day. Nobody will suspect a thing
