Kostya, ideally, there shouldn't be this off-road passage at all, and the guard should be stationed on the road.
"2.6.5. If there is no guard at the passage, it is permissible to move freely from zone to zone," right?
I wonder how the same situation would be interpreted if it were a Jebus Cross... What do we have? Can you pass to the center without breaking through, if, by some mysterious means, a guard is not generated at the passage on the road, but there is one on the off-road? It doesn't seem so. It seems that you cannot use the bugged passage to the center, generated without a guard, until you break through the General Objective on another passage...
However, the opponent coming from the other side objectively has no way of determining that the passage has not been broken through, which the opponent, who has this information, is obliged to report upon discovering his hero, in accordance with the principles of fair play. That is, there is no question of any violation. Especially of awarding a technical defeat. If Timbuktu immediately reported it on the day the opponent used the passage and it was immediately saved, then the opponent either retreats and breaks through the guard or leaves. And if he waited a couple of days and couldn't manage it, then it's a different story...
Obviously, the golems are a shifted guard of the passage on the road. The second passage is bugged (the obelisk destroyed the terrain). The fact that they are standing closer to the bugged passage is purely coincidental, since there are no guards in bugged passages.
Recently, any appeal to the Arbitration Committee is immediately considered as an attempt to pressure the opponent, rather than an attempt to understand the rules. And the fact that if a player decides to write to the Arbitration Committee, it already means that the game and his nerves are already beyond saving in this particular situation, but the Arbitration Committee is intended to save time for other good players by reviewing this situation.
Since the beginning of 2017, the results of reviewing appeals to the Arbitration Committee have ceased to be published altogether. I, and not only I, have the impression that there is no point in writing to the Arbitration Committee.
I believe that the review of various controversial situations in the Arbitration Committee with the public announcement of the verdict on the situation should encourage changes to the rules if necessary, or if there is no clear position and the opinion of the community is needed, then it is possible to hold a vote, as was done with the Red Dragon and the Grail.
But if anyone has any suggestions/wishes/misunderstandings, you can always write. For example, I have never refused anyone a consultation. Just yesterday, I was approached and asked to supplement the rules of the game during the Overlord phase. We will discuss it.

-Here, it seems that the elves spawned one cell lower, so you can't pass by the elves to the left, and therefore you won't be able to get to the scroll and gold. But another question arises: can you defeat the boots without breaking through the elves...? This is even more complicated, and I even doubt that it is possible, but I'm not sure.
-Yes, I also think that you can't pass by the elves, but this is when you see the explored area, and without scouting, it is impossible to determine this in time. I think that even if you defeat the boots, it will not be a gross violation.
