The Golem in the Field

To spare their aging body, a farmer hired an eccentric mage to create a plowing golem powered by spring's first lightning. The construct worked beautifully—until it decided that only perfectly straight furrows are acceptable and began crushing anything that disturbs its lines. Disable or reprogram the relentless golem before it plows through homes as well as fields.
