ABOUT

A runestone golem is stout, roughly humanoid golem comprised of dwarven runestones. These golems are used to guard tombs and crypts of import. When a runestone golem is first activated – normally by an intrusion into the crypt it guards – its magical energy flickers on and off momentarily as if powering up after a long period of dormancy.

When a runestone golem is destroyed, it falls into a heap of broken stones including 1d4 magical and 1d4 mundane runestones. At least one of the mundane runestones will bear an inscription with the name of the priest who constructed the golem. These runestones are considered rare and valued at 500 gp.
