For the short version skip to the last sentance at the bottom. For the not so Epic battle read on!
Ya, know I ran into those Golems while in a rather incoherent state of mind extremely late at night because I am an addict now. Due to my diminished mental capacity I kept throwing my party at them wondering why I couldn't win and losing badly at that.. Not good for the ego, getting a burst of energy and deciding to actually read the dialogue at the bottom where it clearly states that most of my parties weapons were ineffective. So for a 3rd or 4th time or so I restarted the game in a last ditch effort before I gathered some much needed rest for myself...
In restarting I realized sometimes you just can't brute force everything. So I decided a new strategy (or at least to develop one) rested the party up, in doing so kagen the evil Dwarf had pissed off my cute little mage/cleric one too many times and she split back to the circus.. Now without spell support (she was my only caster) I thought I was surely up the creek with the paddle.. But relying on Old Faithful set snares.. In my opinion truly the great equalizer of all skills and spells, I grabbed yoshimo and my main character who is a bounty hunter as well and started laying traps just outside of the entrance, slept and did it again, repeated this process a few more times for good measure. (I really wanted to sleep) Once I felt comfortable that I could take down the tarasque with my meager traps I went in and grabbed the next set of items, which would trigger the huge iron Golem and his little fleshling and stone friend to attack.. They chased my poor fighter down and tried to stop him from exiting but as soon as he made it to the door the traps went off killing all of them. Where my spell caster and brutish beserkers had failed miserably my pair of not so humble thieves were there to describe every moment of how they had slain the evil Golems how all else failed.
In short when all else fails and you have time to rest without being jumped just stack tons of booby traps and lead the mobs to their doom.
