Location 7 - The Broken Oak

Opening your chamber door, still a bit drowsy, you come to a dead stop. A giant towers inches before you, staring at you motionless: the Golem. You had forgotten about it, but there it is where you left it, having been ordered to stand guard. You command it to move, but it stares at you unblinkingly. You prepare to shout at the thing, then remember. Cursing under your breath, you collect the control rod and gripping it in your hand direct the thing again. This time it moves. You start to think, you may not so much have gained a tool as lost a hand.
