Because <span class="mu-i">nobody watched the statues</span>, the silent monoliths were able to sneak up on you. Despite their size and unyielding stone- they glided across the floor with great hammers raised...
You are <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Ambushed!</span></span>
<span class="mu-s">Benjamin</span> has been struck! He shatters into a bunch of bones across the polished floor!
<span class="mu-s">SkyHoof</span> has been struck and becomes injured!
<span class="mu-s">Gideon Goodfellow</span> has been struck! His tiny Gnome body goes flying- he's injured!
<span class="mu-s">William</span> has been struck- normally his helmet would <span class="mu-i">protect him</span> from an ambush- but these hammers are too heavy and strong to be stopped by armor! He's injured too!
The large statues, humanoid figures with heads encased in some strange helmets, now glow with a once absent spectral light- just like the light of the traps of the previous room. It becomes clear- when people <span class="mu-i">crossed the tripwires</span> they activated these guardians...
The light issuing from the helmet of the stone guardians pierces the gloom of the splendid hall- bouncing from the walls and off your weapons and armor. It twinkles as the stars in the night sky- piercing through illusion. The Gnomes <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">cannot hide</span></span> from this piercing light!
<span class="mu-s">New Combat Rules</span>
Creatures with the <span class="mu-s">Tough</span> take a second hit to bring down. Creatures with <span class="mu-i">Bypass</span> ignore protective gear, such as Helmets, Shields, or Talismans.
New action- <span class="mu-s">Weaken</span>. This is a Magic Roll. You attempt to <span class="mu-i">curse</span> the opponent with weakness- reducing their <span class="mu-i">Armor</span> to the Magic Roll result if it is lower.
New action- <span class="mu-s">Breathe</span>. Regain your action. This advances the turn timer by one.
