h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

[Ecg Unagi]: "Lady Shaylar, later can you show me how to make a full-size golem?"
*The homunculus looks hurt at the suggestion (again) and tries to make itself look more fearsome... all in all this seems,- because it is less than a foot tall.*

*Turns back to facing Tom*

You could learn yourself if you took the time and studied

Ok Halimar show Ecg how to do it, make me a Gollum

Me!?

Yes ma'am, I'll try.

*Halimar kneels down and uses some water melting off the hailstone mixed with dirt to make a crude mud figure. He then uses his magic to animate the figure and enlarges it until it stands about five feet tall. He turns and looks at Lady Shaylar.*

How's that, milady?

I'm impressed, can you make it do your bidding?

right now lets start, im going to summon an animal and I want you to stop it ok?
*tom puts his hands together and they start to glow as he pulls them away little golden dots start to appear, about 20, these then start to form in to bees, untill they are clearly a swarm of bees*
you ready, all you have got to do is to stop the bees, I would suggest you use fire but it is up to you.
*Tom flicks his hand toward Elc, and the swarm start to make there way over to him*

*Halimar shrugs and wipes his face.*

I don't know. Just creating it was hard enough. Is there anything in particular you would like for me to try and make it to do?

No it's ok, if there is something you cannot do there is no shame in asking for help, let me show you

First you need to summon a little of your inner being and transfer it to the Gollum like so

*Shaylar summons a small lightning bolt and sends it into the Gollum*

then it is linked to you

*The Gollum bows to Halimar*

It obey's your commands

Hmmm, what happens if the gollum's creator is incapacitated? Does the gollum cease to exist or what?

Yes That's right, when you have finished with it you summon you're life force back, then it just becomes earth

Is it possible to make gollums out of other elements such as water or fire?

Not so much with water but you can manipulate fire to create shapes such as a phoenix or a lightning bolt

*Halimar's eyes widen slightly as he considers the possibilities.*

Could you show me how, ma'am?

*sees that Lady Shylar is back, and heads over* Hello, dear Lady. I was wondering if i could show you some tricks and spells i learned on my wlk back here.

That little trick requires spell pouches, I will show you how at a later date

I would certaily love to see what you have learned

Now Halimar show me what you can do with fire

*summons some water to his sie, and transforms it to ice, then vaporizes it and creates a small cloud, which thunder comes from.The rain soaks the earth, which formed muc, that he manipulates into a shield, then, before it hardened, into a sword, dreating rock from it. the rock began to melt into magma, and soon lit into fire* I have learned that to control one element, you must be proficient in all of them.

Wow you have improved, would you like to try and teach Ecg to use the elements instead of his sword?

Okay then.

*Halimar holds his hands palms up in front of him and focuses his energies. Above and between his hands, a fireball flares into existance. Halimar enjoys its warmth for a second before transforming it into a ring of fire. He then creates another, smaller fireball that he sends through the ring a few times before merging the two together and using them to melt what remains of the hailstone that he had created earlier, transferring the heat from the fire to the ice until there is nothing left but a puddle of lukewarm water.*

Is that sufficient ma'am? *he asks, panting a bit*

*Thurin sits on the floor, leaning against the wall*

[Thurin] There is another form of Golem, the flesh golem... but that is the domain of neromancers
