Into the Barrier Peaks

Hraefn
This time you manage to focus the beam directly at the golem, and with a whoosh, the energy catches the thing fully. Its metal armor is nearly vaporized as it explodes into a shower of spark and flame. Its voice goes silent, and the quiet of the aftermath is nearly as unnerving as its incessant squawking.

The strange buzzing continues, however, so whatever caused it appears not to be this golem.

Einar
You pull through the exposed innards of the destroyed golem, and manage to find a red pane of glass inside. However, it is shattered, with half of it literally missing, an apparent victim of a well-placed blast of energy.

Graxif and Romani
You inspect the fallen elf, and from the looks of it he appears in fair shape. As Romani works his healing magic, the elf begins to stir, his eyes blinking open.

Kymael
The smell of wind through the lush forests of your homeland, and the squawking and bleating of a wild animals slowly give way to the smell of sulfur, metal and sweat, as your eyes blink op;en and you awaken. Leaning over you is a human man sporting a glaive and armor, with a wide-eyed gnome sporting leather armor. Both eye you with curiosity as you raise your head and gather in the sight of a destroyed metal golem nearby. Digging through the remains of the creature is a powerful looking man with a with, bejeweled belt and a wicked looking axe.

Nearby as well are another pair of humans, one wearing a crude hide armor, sporting a shield as well as a curious stone whirring about his head and another wearing normal travelers clothes and leaning on a heavy quarterstaff.

As you all look around, noting the flickering and flashing lights above as well as the annoyingly continuous buzzing of an alarm of some kind, you hear clapping coming from down the eastern tunnel. Turning to look, you see a disheveled Halfling in bright clothing sporting a rather sharp-looking black cap with earflaps. An owl is perched on his shoulder. It kind of looks like the owl is wearing a scarf and fedora.

That was awesome! How did you do that? Is that thing made of metal? I think this whole place is made of metal. Are you the guys sent by the king? I wonder what it's like to be the king of a whole country. Did you know that in some countries, everyone only has one spoon, and that's your spoon for your entire life, and if you lose it, you starve to death unless someone in your family wills you their spoon? I bet if you're a king, you're probably a spoon millionaire.

My name's Gavin, but everyone calls me Lucky. Does anyone know what's making that buzzing sound? It's giving me an awful headache.
