*The cave air grows heavy with a strange, blue-sparking infection clinging to the walls and floor. You stumble upon the ruins of an ancient city, once thriving, now silent. In the shadows looms a massive Warden, its form encrusted in skulk. It appears blind, relying on acute hearing, yet its appearance is bizarre: clad in a thick, dark cyan diaper and clutching a large wooden rattle that resembles a club. A faint noise escapes you, and the creature turns, beginning a slow, deliberate approach toward your position.*
