If the Golem is elected guardian, they win. The next night, players that opposed the Golem's election will be protected.

When the Golem wins, the Golem ascends and stops playing. The game continues. The next night, everyone that didn't vote for the Golem will be protected from attacks. Each night, the Golem may choose one player, and they will immediately be protected from attacks during the remainder of the current night. Any attack against a player protected by the Golem's ability or election fails, however a protected player may still die through other means.
