Perception
Everyone but Malcolm spot a few pieces of nearby wood that can be used for leverage.
Kalim:
The iron golem has disappeared which can be fortunate for you.
DMPC Kalim:
;
The desperate sorcerer begins to cut his way out doing some minimal damage to turtle shark.
The group finally pulls Kalim out of the turtle shark his skin blistered from the powerful stomach acid.
Kalim damage:
The stomach contents spilling forth, there are three interesting items in the mess of half digested fish and goblins. There are two rings, wand and dagger which radiate magic.
Ring 1: tinted green ring
Ring 2: there is bone white ring in the shape of rat biting it's own tail.
wand
adamantine dagger.
CMW to Kalim.
"Bravely fought. I would suggest you avoid being swallowed by monsters in the future, though."
Karnog chuckles and helps Kalim up to show he's kidding.
As Malcolm and the others haul Kalim out of the turtle, a rush of stomach juices and items fall out as if the beast has given birth to the sorcerer.
Well, now, Kalim, you really do need to stop making a habit of that getting swallowed stuff. Glad to see you whole.
"Well, I am happy, that you are indeed alive. I was worried for a moment.
Using a quick weave Felicitas tries to identify the items
Dagger
wand
ring
ring 2
Felicitas you know its a +2 adamantine dagger, the wand is a lesser restoration (8 charges), the green tinted ring is acid resistance minor (10).
You are uncertain about the other ring.
"Woa, this turtleshark had a nice appetite. This is a double ensorcelled dagger, the wand is most usefull if we meet again enemys intent on draining us and the ring, the ring is a true gem. It offers you a decent protection against all kind of corrosive materials."
My friend why do you insist on being swallowed by things?
"It is my burden to be delicious. Many thanks, friends."
Kalim looks at the unknown ring.
"Maybe we should dip you in chocolate. Or BBQ sauce. You know there is an iron golem upstairs, hidden behind a well camouflaged door!
Kalim study's the bone white ring that is in the shape of rat biting it's own tail.
bahahahahaha
How do we kill that golem?
"Intriguing. This ring would grow your teeth and their strength and sharpness ...a more effective weapon than most mouths."
Kalim thinks to himself, I could have chewed my way out of belly with with thing on my finger.
The cavern is peaceful now with the flowing water the only sound.
"Well this could be just the item for our dwarfen warrior!" Smiling at Grungsdi she nods to him.
Felicitas you don't know much about golems but you do know,
They are the creation of powerful spellcasters. A construct is an animated object or artificially created creature. Iron golems are immune to most magical which is concerning to you. They have significant damage reduction unless hit by adamantine. They have no natural way to heal, but certain spells tend to heal golems an in the case of iron you remember that since they are smelt from iron ore that fire seplls actually heal these creatures.

"This is good news we found a dagger. Bad news it isn´t a greataxe. Iron Golems are very tough nuts to crack. They are quite immune to magic and firespells do heal them. I can weave a dweomer to make you faster, and I will also sing for you, but my magic is quite useless against one of those!"
Are they evil? If so, Abadar will grant me the strength to bypass it's defenses.
"Not as far as I know. They are constructs."
"Any known weaknesses? Chinks in the armor, or similar? "
"I hate to admit it, but I am no expert. But as far as I know only adamantine!"
"The golem disappeared again. Now you are fresh and might be able to tackle him, later we might forget him, or have to flee and with something that dangerous blocking our way. Well, it is a question for those who fight close to the enemy!"
let's kill it! We have a magic adamantine knife now!
"This is good news we found a dagger. Bad news it isn´t a greataxe. "
"I still think up is a good bet. We can secure the ladder at the ledge, and potentially knock the construct down the cliff. Of course, I dont know just how difficult that may be."
Desmond scratches at his stubble nervously. "I don't like golems. They have a tendency to be unstoppable rampaging monsters. I say we avoid it."

I really do not think that we are prepared for the Golem.
There are many alternative ways to travel.
You have the river that you can go downstream or try to go upstream. I think Felic has a feather boat. So you understand, it makes no difference to me, but each direction leads to another level of the dungeon.
There are plenty of areas you have not explored on this level that also have links to other levels, including the suspected underwater passage in the stirge room.
"If you think we should skip the golem, let us contiue in another way. I still have a feather boat let us follow the river."
"Against such a creature I would be all but useless."
Maybe it could swallow you
The group stands around the turtle shark's carcass debating their next move when Grung occasionally kicks the carcass. His surly and sardonic temper bubbles over. He frowns when he gets the raised eyebrow from the lovely Felicitas. They both look over to Karnog and Malcolm to weigh in on the this decision.
I am for the boat of Felicitas. I would choose downstream as the direction. Let's move, shall we?
"Sure, sounds like a plan. I just hope that turtle thing was the only on in these waters."
anyone know how to drive thisbpopsicle stand?
A a swan-like boat appears when Felic speaks the magic aword and places her token on the water. It is capable of holding your crew.
Grung is smack in the middle
Make three rolls since it's untrained and your not really certain how to operate this thing. The current is quick and the ride is not always smooth in the enclosed twisting caverns.
