I usually don't even try to fight those golems. Yeah, they're worth a few EP, but since I generally do the Keep pretty early in the game the golems are more trouble than they're worth.

From the text of your message, it appears you may not be familiar with the trick of having your priest cast "sanctuary" and then get the goodies from the Golem room (or, in the Hulk room, to bypass the hulks and drop off their food). It's a useful way to complete at least three tasks during SoA. So long as your sanctuaried priest doesn't attack anyone (turn off the AI), she can go anywhere and do anything without provoking a response (except for the programmed responses hard-wired into the game to advance the plot).
