The dwarves after having a near genocidal four way struggle between the drow, mind flayers, orc, and drider. Over whelmed by superior numbers and two of the four groups wielding deadly magic. Hid their innocent in the strongest part of any dwarven keep, the armory. The reinforced armory door was down a narrow corridor so the cave giants were useless, and the others were too weak to break them down. Here in the near dark the dwarves would over come traditional tactics and for the next 2 days and nights the dwarves put there plan into motion. While there enemy waited for their prey to charge out in the usual way, The dwarves used the time productively, and the armory doors did open. Instead of dwarves, golems rushed the passage way. Armed with spear tips and axe blades at the end of there arms the golems went to work. Golems were resistant to most of the magic, the drow poison, and completely immune to the mind flayers. These two golems bought time for the dwarves to complete more golems. Soon the tide had turned, The mind flayers left unable to harm these constructs. The drow had to shift tactic from poison and shadows to melee. That was a costly mistake, once the drow got into range the constructs made quick work of them. By the time there were 6 dwarven golems active the enemy was in full retreat. The more ground the dwarfs recovered the more material they had access to, the more golems they made.

They were nearly wiped out. Completely exhausted the remaining group took turns crafting more golems until at last the kingdom was secure. For now the last of the dwarf kingdoms Gul Rutheim remains. They work to build and improve on their constructs. The king sent out notices to other dwarf clans to unite under a banner of the dwarf. There use to be many trade roads to this dwarven stronghold. Now only a narrow passage that can be reach by foot and a two day march to a cavern on the south face of the mountain. More dwarves answered the call to the mountain and learned the craft of golem making. Gul Rutheim was the largest dwarf kingdom except the remaining clan members were a mere 1/12 of its original force. Most of these survivors were the women and children.
