Tips from Mike

The following information is not a series of questions, but a series of conclusions (and some assumptions) and/or answers that I gleaned from the DM or other sources. I ask one question at the end. We did not search or investigate the iron golem after defeating it and we should have. There is something about it that is important. It could be something it is carrying or is inside it. It could be something about the actual material or composition of the creature. It could be the mission it was on. Remember that it was coming for or to the amulet - which should not be destroyed! It may be that investigating it could give us clues about the council, the dragon, or one of the artifacts (the iron axe most likely. Perhaps it could be reanimated and used to approach the dragon. Perhaps it could be used to spy on the dragon.

This is more of a clarification and assumption. We had asked (and had been informed before) that we need all 6 of the items to defeat the council's plans. But it has never been stated (one way or another) as to whether or not we can defeat individual members of the council without all of the items. However, from speaking with the DM and by communing with rocks and a nice mixture of tea leaves, I have determined that the individual members of the council (however formidable) are not unbeatable without all of the artifacts.

Warning: When the party found the mithril hammer, it was in an abandoned temple. The markings on the temple were similar in origin (Ancient Ones of Chaos type) to the symbols on the round and mysterious temple a stone's throw through the forest (assuming a clear line of site and one hell of an arm). The important bit to know is that entering the other temple caused a temporary insanity on all party members (who entered). The insanities ended upon leaving the building. Oh joy! Heeeeeere's Drako!
