Peril Pit Idea

Sometimes, it may be best to have a simple structure in mind.  In this case, the story is that your party are "entertainers" that get thrown into a pit where you have to survive.


The pit would be full of enemies like worms that will eat you.  You are given a choice of a timed match (small reward) or an elimination match (big reward).  Sometimes, you will be offered to gain a bit more money by adding in more features like traps or straitjackets.

There may be more features depending on how the story goes.  Perhaps the side-story involves trying to tunnel your way out, or perhaps you simply live your life bound up forever.


The bound forever idea also sparked my mind.  What I'm thinking off is similar to some drider comics where your party's task is to escape from the drider's cave but everything wants to wrap you up.
