Tribulations and trials

Traveled to hotel where Michael was staying. Met him outside. Went out to get dinner. Didn't eat much. Don't like to eat before a big event. He explained. Golem of his went Rampant. Needed me to stop it. Every time he got close, was forced in some way to turn and go. I was to stop it while he waited in his room. Agreed.

First, took command orb. Tried to locate Golem in easiest way. Didn't work due to Rampancy. Golem was Shrouded. Had to go manual. Golem was made of clay. Found sample of clay from origin, mine shaft by a riverbed. Set Automatons around city to guard against Operatives of the Tulpa. Couldn't have interference. Had it anyway. Operative was controlling Golem. Was not entirely Rampant. First step, take out Operative. Wasn't hard. Operative was not paying attention to his surroundings. Was easily able to infiltrate by self. No need for any Golems. Attacked with ritual atheme. Gained hold before Operative could set down his makeshift command orb. Pinned Operative down to ground. Threatened to behead. Did not, of course. Not an advocate of unnecessary bloodshed. Instead, bound Operative and left with police. Destroyed command orb. Was easy to guide Golem to a safe place for it to deconstruct itself.

Returned to hotel. Michael was dead. Cut wrists in bathtub. Appeared to be suicide.

Wasn't.

Returned home. Regained energies. Relaxed for some days. Always best to be rested.

Brick by brick.

Trial 01C-02B: Operatives + Ents

Captured Operative. Low mental stability but still some remnant of former self. Drugged. Set into forest. Ents in place, ready for intervention if necessary. Tulpa did not appear but aura was detected. Operative suddenly became deranged. Began attacking nearest trees as if in hope of destroying Ents. Eventually located an Ent. However, did no damage. Ent disposed of Operative humanely.

Trial 03A: Delvers

Hid Delvers in quarry. Not Quarry. Just quarry. Tried to attract Tulpa. Tulpa did not appear. Waited six hours. No results. Delvers were mysteriously deconstructed at unknown point.

Trial 02A: Ents

Set Ents into forest. Waited. Hoped for Tulpa to accept Ents as own. Did not. Ents burned. Painful. Felt shame. Also felt anger at loss of Ents. Take longer to create than most other Golems. Also need more energy. But worth it.

Trial 01B: Operatives

Captured Operative. Willing servant of Tulpa. Drugged. Amnesia. Released. Followed. Operative did not disappear. Operative called out to Tulpa. Tulpa appeared. Tulpa detected other presences. Ents held off Tulpa while others escaped. Tripped. Have long gash on arm. Little finger broken. No results. Must find happy medium.

Trial 01A: Operatives

Captured Operative. Complete loss of former self. Drugged subject. Short-term amnesia. Set free. Followed into forest. Operative disappeared. Operative located moments later, impaled with branch. Less mentally demolished Operatives may yield better results.

Thing about Golems

Don't operate by themselves. Need a Helm. Find Helm, stop Golem. Trace Golem back to source, find Helm. Hurt Golem, leads you to Helm.

Good thing I've got a few tricks of my own up my sleeve.
