Bridge of Fallen Heroes

Long ago, a lone hero held off an army of millions and ended a war. Now, either as a direct result of that action or as an invention of mages and spirits building on the legacy, the bridge where the hero made their stand is magically guarded and the stream itself is magically impassible.
The stream itself seems small, almost so small that it could be jumped over, but any who try to cross it are drawn in and never seen again. The only safe crossing point for miles in either direction is the Bridge of Fallen Heroes, a similarly humble bridge barely large enough to be crossed more than single file. If an individual or group attempts to cross the bridge, they will be challenged by a guardian of some kind. If they win, they will be allowed to pass with their entire group as long as there are no delays between individuals crossing.
If someone defeats the summoned guardian and stays on the bridge, after some time a new and stronger guardian will be summoned to challenge them. This can escalate continuously. All other travelers will subsequently have to face a similarly powerful guardian unless a lengthy ritual is done to reset the bridge.
