Savage Tide: ECL 9 Aconium Bane: The Grappler: Entry 4

So our final task... we approached a large volcano. One of the members who picked up a golden bat idol some time ago started to notice that it was vibrating and had a draw to the mountain. We followed it into a small cavern, a small room next to an open lava pit and a strange alter. the idol had a strange magnetic draw and snapped into place. Instantly a large bat like demon appeared.... and I was ready for the fight... but that was not what happened. Instead he rewarded us for returning the idol to his shrine. One at a time he allowed our party to pick from a pike of items... I had no idea what to grab so I just go a simple silver ring. Others grabbed for other items letting their greed I think get the best of them lol. One of the members examined each of the items for us... what some junk some people got lol. But I on the other hand... ring of invisibility... that might come in handy later.
So as soon as we each get the items, the stupid place starts to erupt... and I got the heck out of there! With a little bit of time until the pirate invasion starts, we rested and decided to teleport back to town... strange magics that the wizard learned. He was able to even plan it right with us shrinking in size to teleport us back home to Sasurine!
Ah how I missed the hustle and bustle of this town. We have been away for so long now. Our once nice home was torn apart and vagrants have moved into the place! I might as well give up on this town as a home. But the biggest part of me coming back to town.... spending some money! I had accumulated so much money that I needed to buy some gear for the upcoming invasion. I sold some of the worthless items to me and bought some new things. Some boots and magic items were in order for sure.
We didn't stay long as we still had things to do for the last week before the pirates. So the next morning we went back. Thankfully the wizard knew what he was doing and we managed to safely get back. And when we returned we did some last minute preps and waited.
Right on que, the siege started. We were not able to get everything needed ready for the invasion, but we are much better off than a few months ago. As soon as we exited our hut, chaos erupted. About a half dozen pirates started to attack. We quickly dispatched them... but that was nothing. Emerging from the water four large flesh golems started their rampage into the city. The one wizard I gave one of my wands to enlarged me to rival the mounds of flesh. I had already wildshaped into a raptor and now became larger, I charged at one of the constructs. I pounced on it and slammed it to the ground, pinning it below me as I started tearing it apart. The only problem I have is that now it caught the attention of the other golem and it started to attack me while I was grappling the other foe. Thankfully I was able to dodge the attacks so far in the chaos. I don't know how the other members are doing in this fight right now... but I think they are after the controller.... seeing that a lightning bolt just shot from a ship in the bay. I was quick to dodge the bolt, but it repaired the construct it looks like.... this is going to be a challenging fight if we don't take out that caster!

Did you stop mid combat to start writing about the pirate invasion

This does not have to a journal... these are the thoughts of my character.
