Okay, I cannot kill these goblins and I have only the northern 3 roach queens in The Indecisive Poppy.
So really I need help with two rooms, but one cannot be asked about directly even with CaravelNet and uploaded progress.

For my edification, how could I have known this? According to larrymurk, it is unscripted...

Umm.. yeah, it is kind of completely unobvious unless you have a good understanding of how guards work.

The harder way doesn't require any such knowledge and you can assume that the guard's cycle is constant.
