Leaping down from his pedestal Vuzyl re-antiquated himself with his old friend Ore.

For the first round, Shae also goes after the Death Golem with her ancestral magical sphere.

Seeing the problem with the golems and others jumping in, Leo attacks the ore golem.

Lukas does the same, dropping down to attack the ore golem.

One thing you should all consider:  What happens if one of you gets extremely injured and cannot open the door?  You will have to go to the healing water--but wait, the healing water went down the drain (literally) when you replaced the gem.  So you will have to use your own healing powers.  Or even worse, how will you lift it if someone necessary to your lifting actually gets killed?

The Test of the Faithful - 6

ROUND ONE
Borimer hits the Death Golem solidly twice out of 3 swings.  (51 hp dmg; one critical.)  In the process, he smashes one of the golem's three deadly skulls, leaving only two left.

The death golem strikes back while the others are still turning from the door to join the fray.  Amazingly, the golem misses all of its several attacks, not even coming close to Borimer, but it does destroy the remaining mirror images of Tahldar.

Shae attacks the death golem with her spear but misses.

Leo attacks the ore golem, but his weapons glance off it harmlessly.

Shap also turns to fight, but misses.

Vuzyl's attack unfortunately goes wide and misses the iron statue.

The ore golem also strikes out with sword and fist as Shapfren turns from the gate.  His fist swings and hits her in the gut, breaking bones and ribs.  As Shapfren falls, out of breath and in extreme pain, the golem's giant sword comes straight down, stabbing her through the back.  (Hit and critical hit.  59 dmg.)  Shapfren falls dead to the ground, bleeding out.

Kahan (presumably) turns and joins the attack too, seeing Shapfren dying before him.  His mace bounces harmlessly off the iron statue.

Tahldar finishes casting his spell, and grease covers the ground near the iron statue.  This time, the iron golem is wise to that tactic and takes a wide step away and out of the grease area.  (Saving throw made.)  It now stands near Borimer in the center of the hall (instead of the left side).

Tahldar watches in horror as Shapfren falls.  This battle is getting out of hand quickly and the mage decides drastic actions are in order.  He begins to cast.

OOC: Tahldar will cast wall of force to capture the ore golem in a sphere of force.

Shae stops what she is doing and drops next to Shapfren on the ground.  She begins incanting her woodland spell to raise Shapfren.

[Shae is casting raise dead on Shapfren.]

ROUND 2
Shae drops to revive Shapfren.

Borimer chops away, and the death golem falls under his sword.

Vuzyl, Kahan, Tahldar, and Leo attack the ore statue.  They each strike the giant statue, though their weapon damages are somewhat limited against its iron skin.  (24 total damage)

Tahldar finishes casting, and a wall of force comes between the party and the ore golem.  As it swings its sword, the sword rebounds off the wall of force.

Tahldar's spell seems to be completely containing the ore golem...for now.  It is on a diagonal, and it ends past the horizontal line beyond which the ore golem cannot pass.

Let us get this door open before the magic fades
Vuzyl moves to his pedestal and readies himself to lift with the others while looking nervously at the magical wall.

OOC: Maths time, Shae or Shapfern will be needed to hit 2400 (70 short without) so until the rez is finished we can not do anything else... unless someone has some other option

Kahan attempts to either help Shae revive the fallen woman, or urge her to lift the gate so that they can be finished with the trial before the wall of force dissipates.

You run to the gate and push with all your might.  The ore golem is testing the boundaries of the wall of force.

The gate starts to lift, and then the ore golem discovers the height of the wall of force by lifting up and over the top.  It begins scaling the invisible wall.

You continue lifting, and the gate comes up slowly...too slowly.  The ore golem is heaving itself up and over the wall of force.

With renewed effort you pull upward.  The gate is knee high, then waist high.  The ore golem drops down on the far side of the wall of force.

The gate is chest height.  With a call of "Run!" you let go and duck under the gate just as the ore golem begins swinging its giant iron sword.

The gate slams shut behind you, locking you safely away from the golems.

And you have the gem.

You quickly return to the gnomes, finding that they are still safe.

Borimer stands near the gate and listens for sounds of the ore golem trying to find a way inside.

"That was close." Tahldar says after their escape.

"Shall we go back and place the gem?  Maybe another magic item will appear.  Then after that we can take the last test."

There are no more sounds.  Presumably, the golem has taken its place back in the niche.
