De handleiding geeft precieze specificaties voor alle onderdelen van de Golem. Deze golem heet blijkbaar Artephius. De Victor en zijn troepen hebben veel kapot- of buitgemaakt.
1. The Eye – Artephius, even if activated, would be blind. Its single glass lens has been shattered. The lens is entirely present however and so could be repaired using the make whole spell. Failing that, a new lens matching the exacting specifications of the schematics can be made in Farholde. De vorige kostte 1200gp.
2. The Brain – Artephius needs a new human, dwarven, elven, half-orc or half-elven brain. No other race will do – they are not the right size and attunement. It need not be from a living person. Someone who died in the last twenty four hours from natural causes will do. Of course, murder is always an option. The real difficulty is installing it. A successful Craft (Alchemy) skill check is required to install the brain.
3. The Heart Cog – Artephius’ mithral heart cog has been stolen long ago, likely by one of the Victor’s retainers. Without this critical component, Artephius will not activate. A new cog will have to be made. Fortunately, the exact shape is described in the schematics. 500 gp worth of mithral will suffice to make the heart cog. A smith in Farholde could certainly do the delicate work. Regardless, a Craft (smith) skill check is required.
4. The Reservoir – Artephius needs a new glass reservoir where the four primal reagents can mingle and power the golem. The glass reservoir was smashed during the battle and now the pieces are missing so make whole is of no help. However, there is a spare reservoir amongst the smashed remains of the alchemist’s gear. A craft (alchemy) skill check has already identified the reservoir for what it is. Installation is a simple matter requiring no skill check.
5. The Reagent of Fire – Artephius needs ten doses of alchemist’s fire.
6. The Reagent of Ice – Artephius needs ten doses of alchemist’s ice (sometimes also called liquid ice).
7. The Reagent of Acid – Artephius needs ten doses of a potent acid.
8. The Reagent of Electricity – Artephius needs a large supply of lightning elemental blood.
Once all the components have been assembled and the golem is repaired, Artephius can be brought to life by simply activating his heart pump. |
