What is at the bottom of the pit the fighter fell into?
What bottom? The actual magic trick of the room is the gravity - going that way just ejects you out the roof.

Just to make sure I’m on the same page, you want to invest serious power in reversing gravity in the room all to expel adventurers from the dungeon onto the surface? Just to note, if they do die out there you wouldn’t get their life force, but you could probably recover the corpse or something.

It is valid, to be clear, just want to be sure you really do want this.

(Side note: you can definitely catch and release, the adventurers will eventually come back stronger but you get more points from killing them, or a stronger champion. )

At the bottom is a constricting vine that feeds on stress and negative emotion. Most people that fall into it are already feeling such things, and are quickly bound by the creepers waiting to catch them. The vine grips tighter the more the victim fights its fate, devouring these energies for sustenance and leaving an emotionless husk behind. The only escape is a strong composure that keeps a grip on your own thoughts and reactions, thus presenting as no more interesting than a rock.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

All right, alternative, less profligate suggestion:
If you fall through the hole, you land back at the start unharmed, and an ethereal voice laughs at you and tells you you've lost points off your score. This way, adventurers get increasingly frustrated and end up making even more mistakes until they are reduced to incoherent balls of rage throwing themselves off the ledges on purpose out of spite.

But if you lose all your arbitrary number of lives, the hole just leads to a spike pit instead.

Might I suggest we have it tell them they've had points "added to their score" as though it were some deranged version of Golf instead?

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Y'know what this sounds completely evil, retracting my previous suggestion to bestow a +1 to this one.
