After the door opened we were immediately thrown into combat with "Mother." She hit extremely hard and took a few of us close to being down, but Crestin was just cutting her up. It was extremely impressive how quickly he was able to dispatch her with a little magic assistance. Right beyond her was a trap door down to the next level. In the room was a magical hour glass and a pedestal for our crystals. We decided it would be a good idea to rest here and make sure we were fully ready to go for our next day within the trial.
