TEXT:  
  Gaius – the protector 
  Colossus/construct 
  Made of stone and steel and fur, 
  animated by 2 magic symbols 
  imbedded in flesh. 
  Colossal – Colossi are not harmed by 
  attacks by individuals unless they are 
  explosive or suitably large-scale. 
  Personification – the desperation of 
  the King to protect his daughter. 
  Challenge – Wakes and attacks 
  anyone who touches the princess. 
  Sigils – Stomach (30hp), and head 
  (30hp). If both are destroyed the 
  colossus is dead. 
  Climbing – requires a standard set of 
  dice. Place die on table when on 
  colossus. To do anything you must 
  stack another dice. This continues 
  until all 6 dice are stacked and you 
  reach your goal. If the tower falls you 
  take that damage as you fall (roll the 
  dice at the bottom to add it in). If you 
  drop to 0 from this, that mean you 
  fall to the ground. Otherwise you are 
  still on the Colossus.  
  The King put his daughter into a 
  tower to stop her from being married 
  off so that he can keep his power. He 
  will do anything to keep his power if 
  pushed, even going so far as to kill his 
  daughter. 
  The Princess does not want to leave 
  the tower. She doesn’t want to marry 
  the suitors that have been lined up 
  for her for various reasons. 
  Everyone else wants the princess out 
  of the tower and will pay to make it 
  happen.

  The colossus sits between the walls, 
  sleeping. The princess sits in the top

  her”.
