In an instant, the guardians manifest heavy picks and a type of light armor that might be studded leather, and charge across the floor towards the party, weapons raised. What happens next is startling, however. As the constructs come into melee range, they each disappear in a shower of sparks, just as the defender guardians did when they were defeated – only this time, there was no hard-fought, construct-by-construct victory. Simultaneously, the veils become transparent. The challenge seems to have been satisfied. The key at the end of the chamber awaits. [sblock=Intelligence check, 10]You recall the inscription at the entrance to the tomb. At the time, Bren wasn’t sure whether it should have been translated with an “and” or an “or.” But the translation seems obvious now: “Only those who are wise in his words OR strong in battle can pass within and claim victory."[/sblock][sblock=Perception check, 20]The guardians only manifested their equipment for a few brief seconds between their activation and their disappearance, and they were charging directly at you at the time, but the heavy picks they had were identical in style to the ones the wrathspawn were using.[/sblock][gm]Congratulations! Your hunch (and your discovery of the Vicente's room) has paid off to the tune of 6400xp and the second key. And that will level Cythera.[/gm]</blockquote>
