The cavern, once filled with the sounds of battle and fear, now stood in eerie silence.

The close call with death had shaken them, and the idea of risking their lives for glowing stones now felt foolish.
In small groups, they hurried out, their footsteps quickly fading into the distance.
A few, however, lingered behind. Greed hadn't let go of them just yet.
