The Flay's Flesh Golem Army is a military unit consisting of flesh golems constructed by the Mad Wizard Flay. His research on golem fabrication at the Magis Institute, and the observation of the immense quantities of golems at this establishment, inspired the creation of his formidable army.
In 1832, the Trauma Squad raided the Torazam Sanctum. Within this expansive, multilevel chamber, they uncovered a staggering 550 flesh golems. During a subsequent expedition to the site, they discovered a chamber containing a towering lightning rod that can be raised through the hill above the labyrinth. This lightning rod, or a volley of hundreds of lightning bolts, is utilized to gather the electricity required to power the Flay's Flesh Golem Army.
This cavernous chamber echoes with our footsteps. A dim light radiates from the lofty domed ceiling, towering over the balcony. Though shadowy, visibility remains adequate. However, it is not the illumination but the pungent aroma that instills caution. The scent of freshly excavated earth and decaying flesh permeates the air. A forty-foot-wide balcony surrounds a deep pit, with numerous staircases descending to lower levels every thirty feet. Hesitantly, we decide to investigate the five balconies below. There, we encounter hundreds of humanoid figures lining the 15-foot-wide encircling balconies. Now, we comprehend the purpose behind the Mad Wizard Flay's extensive skin collection. He has constructed an army of flesh golems. These creations, however, differ from typical flesh golems fashioned from corpses. They appear to be a peculiar hybrid, with skin sewn directly onto their bodies. Interestingly, they all bear a resemblance to the perceived visage of Gruumsh. Some of the flesh golems are equipped with tower shields as arms, while others possess blade and mace-like appendages. A small percentage have tube-like arms and a harness on their backs, holding orbs that crackle and arc with electricity. We surmise that this army comprises three distinct unit types: soldiers, defenders, and healers.
Kavdas, an excerpt from the "Annals of Trauama Squad"
The Flay's Flesh Golem Army is composed of three distinct classes of flesh golems:
| Type | Number | Use |
|---|---|---|
| soldier | 400 | combat |
| protector | 100 | defense - tower shields provide cover to two other golems within 5', combat |
| medic | 50 | healing - discharge 2HD lightning bolt every round into a flesh golem within 50' |
