Uh - okay. How can I kill something I can't get at? The only way to release the roaches is hit the orb that blocks all entrances. While the guards can clean up the roaches, they won't help me out with a murder suicide pact.

Oh, got it. Clever, clever Larrymurk!

Ok, so I don't get it.

The only way I could imagine it being possible is if I got one of the guards to strike the orb for me while I am standing on one of the doors that closes. But there are still several problems with this. First, only one of the two roaches will come to me. Second, it really doesn't seem possible to get the guard to strike that orb for me.

So, in summary, I don't get it.

×Kill one Guard, use the Guard as your Smiting Tool by trapping it at preferably the Southeastern corner
by carefully removing 4 Trapdoors around the Guard to trap it.
Hit the orb > Figure out the rest
