Cronin laughs. "Who do you serve?" he asks the golem nonsensically as he hurls his halbert at the glass creature. The halberd makes a lazy loop around the golem's head and returns to Cronin's hand. Meanwhile, the cleric's calling might be having more effect on his allies.
"Stop damaging my angel. He'll be annoyed with me. I'll have to pray for hours, and my knees aren't up to it today." Guldarin hesitates momentarily, then directs a seris of attacks from his angel against the golem.
Swordy takes as much advantage as an angel can of driving his blade into the golem. Light splinters nearly as much as the rapidly fracturing glass as more shards rain around.

Greeg moved into the next golem, seeing his dark elf companion drop back from the damage he'd taken. He roared a challenge at the great glass beast as he did so, trying to bring its attention to him rather than his friends.
in giant "I don't know about the rest of these folks, you great moving mirror, but I serve the primal spirits and the land from which they sprang. AND YOU DON'T BELONG TO IT DAMNIT!"
Edit - <sigh> At least I marked it :)
Greeg rumbles across the room and expresses his irritation with a massive blow. The golem sees it coming just in time and moves ponderously aside.
Nayce's blades sneak out, sending yet more glassy fragments into Greeg, Swordy, Andaros and himself, but it is plain to see that a couple more decent hits will fell this golem too.
Andaros raises the Dawnblade again as he invokes the One Sword technique yet again.
Saving Roll vs ongoing
Attack vs. Reflex with flank Damage
Secondary Attack Vs. Will Hir: Target dazed until next turn.
Andaros all but fells the golem, but is ignored by the glassy monster as it uses the last of its strength to attack Greeg.
Wielding his dagger icepick-style, Kevaras brings his bard's songblade down on his glassy whale.
"From the devil king's porcelain throne in Nessus I stab at thee!"
Glass shatters as Kevaras' oath brings an end to the reign of the second golem.
Guldarin fusses over his angel for a moment. "Well, you're quite a mess. Better go home, I think."
Save at beginning
Takes 5 ongoing
save at end of round.
Takes a total of 45 damage that round dropping him to 31 hp ( you forgot my resist 5 again Rev, but I took it into account this time).
I'll take one of those healing words thanks Cronin. Will post in character this arvo when I am not rushing for work.

The companions restore themselves with the invaluable aid of Cronin who moves among the group applying first aid.
Footsteps are heard during the short break as everyone recovers from the immense battle. The ole bandit Don idly walks towards the group, careful not to step on the shards of glass everywhere.
He quietly looks over the bleeding, battered group.
"You guys look like #@$%." He chuckles to himself, flipping a knife between his fingers, "Here I thought that watering hole had itself a few more secrets to give up..." With a groan he sits down to join the group, continuing with a disgruntled tone "I was wrong, its just a rats nest in the desert..."
He tosses his knife in the air, "You guys learn anything while I was out?"
"We learned that constructs made out of glass are surprisingly difficult to break," Nayce answers dryly.
Dram soothes the wounds on Dirt and the bear shakes himself off and stands up ready for action.
The room glitters with fragments of destroyed golem as the group consider their next course of action between applying bandages to each other.
Cronin grins broadly. "Don Zaloog," he booms. "Welcome! Good to see you again!"
The elf's eyes narrow at the approaching human. He replies guardedly. "I don't think we've been introduced..."
Damm you Herolab! :)
He laughs, "Talk about gratitude, I save yer bum fightin those giants just a scant time ago. Ah well, its nothin really, just in this for the fun an the treasure."
"Weere our bums really in danger? I was rather more worried about my head being smashed in or my body being reduced to a bloody pulp, myself. Or was this danger to our bottom in the sense that the Pearl Fish is a danger to Sea Cucumbers? Which sounds extremely painful, to be truthful."
Don has a silent, awkward moment after Guldarin's impressive ramble.
Greeg leaned on his hammer and surveyed the scene, looking to see that all of his companions had made it through. The golems had caught him by surprise a little, but the fight had been a good one. They weren't much for banter though. He bent momentariy, carefully taking one of the flatter and more pretty shards of glass left from the broken creatures. I reckon Meeren will like this little keepsake. Maybe she can make a mirror of it" he thought as he placed it into his pack.
He acknowledged Don with a nod and a grin, before moving over and clasping Cronin on the shoulder in thanks "You kept me upright there my friend. Again it seems I you my life!"
He also walked over to the druid and his bear companion, looking at the creature with some curiosity before giving the fur on his shoulder a good hard thumping pat. "Dirt, you are a great asset in a fight me boyo. Not that you understand what I'm saying mind, but you can fight beside me anytime old bear"
In the aftermath of the battle, you notice that the floor appears to be a map. It is meticulously crafted from mosaic and has survived the years well.
Don starts to investigate the surroundings, checking for possible issues at the doors and grate, as well as if any of them are locked.
Passive Perception of 20
He also absently rolls his dice while contemplating options.
He chuckles, "Oh it's going to be a good day..."
The doors have clearly rusted shut long ago. It might be possible to force them open. As for the grating, Don reckons it can be prised up with a little effort.
"Well, my gut tells me that down'll lead to water, but I reckon you guys might not like some extra climbing, so....how about..." He randomly chooses a direction, "East?"
Greeg looks over the mosaic map while Don checks the exits. He tries to make sense of the symbols to see if there's something he can recognize to get them oriented before moving on.
The mosaic is a map of the entire world. Most of it is familiar, but some areas seem slightly different. Coastline is not precisely as it should be and the course of at least one major river is not as the goliath remembers. Major cities are marked too, but they seem to be referring to cities in existance in the time of the Nerathian empire.
Despite the archaic labelling, Greeg recognises Giant runes when he sees them. The map is at least 500 years old. One item is of particular interest. A city marked as "Kadralu" seems to be flying.
Don wanders over to examine the eastern door while Greeg looks at the floor. Running his hands over the corroded bolts, he comes to the conclusion that they are unpickable. It looks quite possible to lift the bolt however.
Greeg relates what he's found to the others. "Kadralu might be a name worth remembering when we next meet some Golems eh? I'd much rather tell em a password than have to smash them again. Maybe that word will work."
