‘Gaz dik!’ roars the guard, and reaches for his wide-bladed battle sword. Using his psychic probe—the crystal box-like device that he removed from his pouch—he has detected that it is your intention to destroy the Transfusor and kill Darklord Gnaag. Instantly, the guards spring into action, forcing you to retreat along the corridor as you fumble to unsheathe a weapon.
