The Rupture Golem
It does not attack. It is positioned, which is different, and worse.
construct · Challenge rating 7
Still alive. Nobody has ended it yet.
Behavior
It stands where the building narrows for everyone else — the stairwell door, the tunnel throat, the one corridor out — and it does not attack. It is positioned, which is different, and worse. The casing is under visible strain; enough damage releases what it carries. The radius is a ring of yellow tape, renewed by nobody on staff, precise to the inch.
Appearance
A compact humanoid construct, five feet and dense as a safe, squarely filling the doorway you needed. The riveted plate is webbed with cracks and bulging at the seams, overpressured from within. The head tracks approach mechanically. It has nowhere to be and nothing to do except be in the way.
Physical description
Five feet of squat riveted plate, doorway-wide, seams bulging and hairline cracks spreading in slow motion across the casing. It ticks, irregularly, like cooling metal or something counting. The floor around it is scrubbed cleaner than the rest of the corridor, out to a taped yellow ring nobody renews by daylight.
Weaknesses
- ranged engagement from beyond the taped radius
- binding the seams before they part
