A routine maintenance job on a pair of iron golems turned out to be a turning point in my term of captivity.

I was present when a handful of humans entered the Lich's throne room. Without hesitation, their leader engaged Zearban, my undead master, in a sorcereous duel. Screening their wizardly leader, his henchmen moved to intercept three fellow captives and myself who, being similarly dominated, prepared to defend our own master.

Arcane defenses on both sides flashed and gave way before the dual barrage. A fleeting moment, an instant's worth of attention was all Zearban required to activate and instruct both golems to join the fray. This proved to be his undoing. At that exact moment, a thin green ray, launched from the human’s finger, breached the undead horror’s defenses, engulfing it instantly. Simultaneously, both golems fired on the distracted human mage, deluging him with vaporous acid. The corrosive liquid burned and smoked as the man was dissolved on the spot. A blinding flash interrupted the sight, signaling the disintegration of the Lich.

I stumbled as my mind cleared, the mental block lifting the moment Zearban’s profane existence ended. Three of my fellow captives likewise staggered as they regained control of their faculties. The golems ceased their attack and ground to a halt, leaving a smoking puddle where a moment ago our liberator had stood.
