Death in the Prism of Light

A group of fighters gathered at the newly decorated Britain Bank. Their common goal was, to enter the Prism of Light dungeon on Nujel'm island. Finally the group reckoned itself big enough to engage in their planned adventure: The challenge of the Shimmering Effusion. After the spellweavers acquired a high level Arcane Focus on the Arcane Circle in front of the bank, each party member grabbed a pile of 10,000 gold coins from the bank, before they went to visit the ticket seller.

On Nujel'm, Lefty the Ticket Seller gladly accepted the money and issued an admission ticket for the Prism of Light to each one of the adventurers. All prepared, cast buffing spells, readied their bandages and fed their pets, before descending down the ladders into the amazing gem mine.

The group reached the Crystal Room untroubled. They knew that danger was now near. They had to collect crystal shards that were needed as keys to visit the Shimmering Effusion. The first key they needed was carried by Arcane Daemons in the next cave. They went through the usual procedure to walk across the crystal field until they somehow were teleported into the Daemon Cave.

The shards were successfully retrieved from the Daemons, but their numbers were many, so the adventurers quickly hastened to the other end of the cave, jumped into a small hole in the ground and reached the cave that was flown through by an ice-cold river. Crystal Sea Serpents and the most dangerous Crystal Hydra already waited for them. The Sea Serpents did not prove to be too much of a challenge, but the Hydras appeared to be a hurdle that was not easy to overcome.
After many death and resurrections they managed to slay two of the Hydras, but one of the corpses was out of reach, the other one did not contain the shard key. The group tried and tried, died and died, and finally had to give up. But they would try again, soon.
