Guardians are a peculiarity in Thunderstone. There are very strong creatures that have a breakthrough capability. You can leave the dungeon and move to a position in front of the dungeon. They remain there until they are defeated.
The guard of the starch has a global effect, which he reduced fairly quickly the village maps. As long as the guard is in position 0, whenever the top card of the stack is destroyed village while listening to a map of this stack was purchased.
Not least because it is so, remove the guard as quickly as possible out of the dungeon, or the breakthrough position 0. The seven victory points you really do not give the opponents. The two gold, which he brings with him when he is revealed and the three experience points are not to be despised.
