<p>
A pressure plate causes itself as well as every second tile in the room (in the pattern of a chessboard) to quickly elevate, lifting anyone standing on one 20 feet into the air.
</p>

<p>
This presents the players with at least 3 options&#58;
</p>

<ol>
<li>
<p>
If a creature on the pressure plate jumps down, taking falling damage, then all other tiles lower gently.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If everyone else on a raised tile jumps down, taking falling damage, then the pressure plate lowers gently.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If everyone jumps down at the same time, then the remaining tiles raise quickly to break their fall such that no one takes falling damage.
</p>

<p>
If option 3 was taken, a door at the level of the new &#34;floor&#34; may be revealed as needed.
