Sister Embers: Have you finished failing?
Sister Embers: If so, stand back.
Sister Embers: I shall simply burn away the wood, leaving the insides of the box exposed.
Gil: Yeah, okay, you do that.
Gil: I'll go see if the guards have anything good on them.
Gil: Y'know, smokes or something.
==>

Too...strong...can't...hold...

Gil: Hey, good news.
Gil: One of the guards had a bunch of keys on him.
Gil: So you just got your ass kicked for no reason.
Gil: By a box.
Gil: How does that make you feel?
==>
Sister Embers: Stop talking and open the crate.
==>
Gil: Hey, don't feel too bad about that.
Gil: There WAS a magic lock on it.
Gil: Most boxes don't exactly pack that much of a punch.
>Whatever's in the box: Punch.
==>
Gil: Well, I see what all the security was about now.
Gil: Giant diamond statues of naked men go for a lot on the black market.
Sister Embers: This is no mere statue.
Sister Embers: This is a golem.
Sister Embers: Gargantuan humanoid automatons brought to life by magic.
Sister Embers: The Church used to employ them as siege engines.
Sister Embers: Though not actually alive, they can provide a suitable imitation of life if their commander-
==>
Gil: Okay, okay.
Gil: I know what a golem is.
Gil: I was just making a joke, jeez.
Sister Embers: I did not enjoy your joke.
Gil: From what I've seen of you, I don't think you enjoy any jokes.
Gil: Anyway, what are we going to actually DO with this thing?

> As Golem, doesn't that mean you can owned it by according to the myth? You know the one with the name carved somewhere on his body/ All you got to do is cross the old name and add yours and he will obey your every command. A Giant will be a fine addition to the cult! ;D

>Holy Algareth ! ...Wait if you could take control of that beast ...just think how usefull it could be for your heist tomorow (or you know, in general). Sure, hard to conceal but its like a perfect henchman, strong, hard as diamond, (litteraly) and perfectly obedient.

Something tells me that somehow, The Astronomer's lens will be broken, because of Acolytian incompetence or bad luck. Then I suspect that this Golem will need to be factored down and grinded into a new semi-sentient lensing device.
In any case, your magic is going to bounce right off that thing, and you don't have a weapon to damage diamond. You need to trap it.
Try Opening a Portalwalk under it. Drop it into the space between spaces, until it. . . Tires itself out, you guess?

>A giant will be a fine addition to the cult.
Sister Embers: This is quite a stroke of luck.
Sister Embers: By stealing this golem, we will finally be able to start increasing the cult's numbers.
Gil: Sure!
Gil: You could dress it up in a big ol' grey-and-red robe and lead it around, maybe get it to hand out your dumb pamphlets...
Gil: Are you crazy?!
Gil: The Church will go ballistic if they find out someone stole something like this!
Gil: This is the most valuable thing I've ever seen in my LIFE!
Gil: I mean, I can take the heat, but come on, how are you gonna hide it?
Sister Embers: I understand your skepticism, but this is an extremely powerful fighting machine.
Sister Embers: If we take possession of it, we will not even need to hide.
Gil: Fine, but it's entirely on your ass.
Gil: Let's at least see which poor bastard is supposed to own this thing.
==>
Gil: Huh, that's weird.
Gil: The owner signature is just a bunch of math.
Sister Embers: That is a Numeralian signature, I believe.
Gil: Ah, that explains it.
Gil: Science fetishists.
==>
Gil: Alright, stand guard while I write in your name.
Gil: ...what IS your name?
Sister Embers: I am surprised you have forgotten.
Sister Embers: My name is Sister Embers.
Gil: No, I mean your real name.
Gil: Not your stupid cult nickname.
Sister Embers: I do not know why people never seem to understand this.
Sister Embers: My father's name was Grand Master Spark.
Sister Embers: My mother was Matriarch Leaf.
Sister Embers: Thus, my name is Sister Embers.
Gil: Okay, whatever, I'll just write in...something.
Gil: Keep an eye out.

Idiot. Well, you do what you can with what you have.

Purplecoat: WAIT!
==>
Sister Embers: Yes?
Purplecoat: Heard...lock activate...from...upstairs.
Purplecoat: Ran...as fast...as I could.
Purplecoat: Don't...touch...golem.
Sister Embers: Why?
Sister Embers: I do not see how you could possibly stop us.
Purplecoat: Not...me.
==>
==>
Gil: Perfect.
==>
==>
==>
Gil: Ah, crap.
==>
Gil: GAH!
==>
Sister Embers: I do not understand.
Sister Embers: Why did the golem react this way?
Purplecoat: When your friend wrote his name on the golem, he activated the security feature.
Purplecoat: Numeralian golems all have a security phrase you must use before you write in a new name.
Purplecoat: Otherwise it will consider you a thief and try to eliminate you.
Purplecoat: You gotta help me fix this!
Sister Embers: Naturally.
>Drop it in the space between spaces.
==>
==>
Sister Embers: Get up, thief.
Sister Embers: In retrospect, you really could have done more to try and save your own life.
==>
Purplecoat: What did you do?!
Sister Embers: What you said.
Sister Embers: I helped you fix the situation.
Sister Embers: You're welcome.
Purplecoat: I meant distract it so I can say the security phrase, not this!
Purplecoat: Where did you even send it?!
Sister Embers: ...Hmm.
Sister Embers: Strangely enough, I do not know.
Sister Embers: In my haste, I must have forgotten to focus on an exit destination.
Sister Embers: It could be anywhere in the world.
Purplecoat: I- wh- but- but- but that was a pure diamond golem!
Purplecoat: Numeralia makes the Church pay through the nose for those!
Purplecoat: The shipping fees alone must've been almost 50 thousand gil!I know that Sister Embers is pretty old, but her hair is pretty cute. Lovin her design.  (thank you very much!)

Very delightful sequence!
Sister Embers --> The purplecoat said that he knew security phrases. The Church of Truth is likely to have more security Traps throughout town and especially on the tower. Maybe read his mind?
Or try to convince him to spill the beans.

>Try to convince him to spill the beans.
Gil: Yeah, sucks.
Sister Embers: Yes, yes, we are all very upset here.
Sister Embers: Now then, you spoke of security phrases.
Sister Embers: Does the rest of the tower have security measurements of this kind?
Sister Embers: Please elaborate for us.
==>
Purplecoat: *sniff* Yeah, the updated list of codes is up in the second floor dorms if you guys need to-
Purplecoat: Hey, wait.
Purplecoat: Who are you guys anyway?
Purplecoat: You don't look like members of the Church.
==>
Gil: Man, what a shame about that golem.
Gil: Pure diamond, you said?
Gil: That sure must take a while to make.
Purplecoat: Ev-Every golem is ordered a year in advance...
Purplecoat: Oh god...
Sister Embers: Once again, we are sorry for your loss.
Sister Embers: Perhaps this free literature shall help you feel better in your time of need.
Sister Embers: Read and memorize all of it, then burn it.
Sister Embers: Do not show it to anyone else.
Sister Embers: Thief, let's go.
==>
Gil: Really?
Gil: Giving him a pamphlet when he's all in shock like that?
Gil: Damn, girl. That's cold.
Sister Embers: It is what makes the most sense.
Sister Embers: I do not personally believe the pamphlets make much of a difference.
Sister Embers: Actions speak louder than words.
Sister Embers: However, if there was ever a time someone would be easily swayed by a piece of paper, it would be in a vulnerable state such as that.
Gil: Again, cold.
Gil: Not that I care, but still.
==>
Gil: Alright.
Gil: Let's get those codes and get the hell out of here.
Gil: Had enough excitement for one night.

Ooh, A mirror! Gil, fancy your hair so that you look dashing, which you always do.
And in that mirror, there is a door, with a sign. Perhaps it's asking you Not To Enter. Tough Times, signs, heroes don't listen to your authority.
Also, it looks like a directory is right next to the door. What else is on the 2nd floor that you might run into?

>Check the directory.
Sister Embers: Well then, it appears we have an issue.
Sister Embers: We have no way of knowing which dormitory of these four contains the codes that were spoken of.
Sister Embers: I suggest we split up and each check one side of the floor.
Gil: Hey, works for me.
Gil: You're boring to talk to anyway.
>Could that armor over there be useful to the cult?
You do not believe so. While it is no doubt very effective, it is also far too large to carry or wear.
==>
In fact, it appears to not be armor at all, if this notice is correct. This has actually made it somewhat more valuable.
Now to divine a use for it.
>Gil: Make sure you look dashing.
I always look awesome. No "making sure" necessary.
Stupid client burned my hat, though. Gonna have to do a lot of needle-and-thread work to get that fixed.
>Get da codes. Be as stealthy as possible.
Don't need to tell me twice. Well, let's see what's behind door number one.
==>
Say goodbye to your wallets, kids. The Crimson Rogue is in town.
==>
Ah.
==>
I didn't really think that any of these boyscouts could possibly stay up this late. Crap.
Well, head voices, how are we gonna talk our way outta this one?

You mean a smoke bomb? Yeah, that was my first impulse too, but look at these guys. They're not a danger, they're just terrified someone's gonna catch them.
Let's have some fun instead.
>Why, it looks like a very interesting game. How about you join them?
Glasses: Who are you?! This is restricted Church territory!
Gil: Well hey there, don't worry about who I am.
Gil: Just a friendly neighbor.
Gil: Shouldn't you be worried more about it being past curfew or whatever?
Glasses: Why should you care if we stay up?
Gil: Well, I don't, but I feel like your supervisors might.
Gil: What room are they staying at?
Glasses: ...you wouldn't dare.
==>
Gil: Well hey, maybe I won't, maybe I will.
Gil: How about a little bit of a gamble?
Gil: I see you guys are playing poker.
Shorthair: Actually, it's more like strip-
Redhair: SHUT UP JOHN YES IT WAS POKER
Gil: Right.
Gil: And heck, I'm a stickler for this kind of stuff.
Gil: How about a hand?
Gil: If you win, I leave and we're all good.
Gil: I didn't see you, you didn't see me.
Gil: And if I win, you guys can do me a little bit of a favor.
Gil: Sound good?
==>
Noshirt: Maybe we should go for it, Jane.
Noshirt: I mean, there's more of us, so our chances are better to win.
Noshirt: And you DID say we needed a fifth since Geoff left.
Glasses: *sigh*
Glasses: ...fine.
Glasses: But only one hand. Then you leave.
Glasses: Now, we don't have any chips, so I'll just give everyone their cards and serve the remaining three immediately.
Glasses: Get a chair.
==>
Alrighty, time to play. And before you ask what the hell I'm doing, this DOES actually have a point.
If Lady Luck contends to smile, we might just get these guys to straight up tell me where the codes are.
==>
Aaaaand hot garbage. Great.
If we ever meet Lady Luck, remind me to punch her in her perpetually-not-smiling face.
