>Group has been going through a dungeon and gathering keys for the main chamber that holds the treasure they came for
>It's a big hexagonal room half filled with water. The treasure is on a floating platform in the middle, with floating crystals orbiting it
>When they enter, a series of bridges made of solid light appear from the crystals. They cycle through three colors, yellow, red, and green.
>If you touch the bridge when it's red, you take a shitload of damage as it fries you like a bug zapper
>If you touch the bridge when it's yellow, you have your speed cut in half and you fall straight through the bridge into the water below, where you'll probably get attacked by sharks or octopi or both
>Nothing happens if it's green but you can walk across it
>Halfway across any of the bridges, glowing knights made of light emerge from the crystals and start hitting you or shooting lasers at you
>If you get to the main platform and aren't carrying all of the keys that you used to get in, a giant made of light appears to kick your ass

It was a simple encounter that really pushed the players. The wizard thought he was hot shit with a Fly spell but after getting shot twice he just plummeted into the water and got mulched by a shark
