The central monolith was crawling with guards, all generally walking on pins and needles.  "HEY!!"  One of the more heavily armored guards screamed, dashing towards Ith'ika's position.  "Who left this spirit cursed hatch open!?"  He bellowed, completely missing Ith'ika's presence just a few inches away from him.  The guard caused a fair amount of distress in the room, before suddenly sprouting a throwing knife from his throat.  "Just shut up and be quiet."  A purple haired inspired in the center of the room said softly, standing right at the edge of the control panel of the monolith, across from a gilded door to the upper level.<br/><br/>Which promptly opened, revealing a black robed figure.  "Exa-qwi-skuzze me!"  The figure intoned, with all of the pomp of a Brelish character actor.  "Wud dis happen just so to be da head?"  He asked in a particularly incomprehensible accent, triggering an instant attempt at murder from the head guard.  Less than a second later, the head guard was flying off the platform, and the entire room mobilized against the new interloper.<br/><br/><br/>(The room has 3 (formerly 4) human guards in it, an immaculate martyr, and an inspired with a broken neck.  The human guards wear heavy armor, and carry longswords and heavy shields.  One of them carries a tower shield.)
