It makes him feel extremely self-conscious.The party is moving with perfect coordination, their minds linked by Garnet.  And as they move down the hall and through the next door, they instantly need it, for here Felenga has set another guardian.  Even as he throws the door confidently open, Thrush's face is illuminated by the sickly flames dancing around the body of the thing within.  There is an instant's pause as the party mentally concludes that none of them have encountered one of these before.Thrush rushes it.Next Time: Our heroes battle a hellfire golem- which is the last fight before the main event with Felenga himself!</blockquote>
