You can get crushed by tons of rock if you kick the staircase in BUGWL and AR too much
Kicking the staircase in the upper levels of the bug temple and minotaur maze can make the "dungeon" collapse and crush you, even though they're open-air locations.

Problem
Kicking the staircase in the upper levels of the bug temple and minotaur maze can make the "dungeon" collapse and crush you, despite the fact this makes very little sense.

How to reproduce it
Go to the upper level of the bug temple or the ancient street above the minotaur maze (dealing with any hostiles in the process), then 'k'ick the down staircase many times. Eventually they will collapse and kill you - this is despite the fact that BUGWL is a completely open-air location with nothing to fall on you, and the stairs in AR are under a roofed area but do not physically support the room (I would think!).

Notes
Perhaps the BUGWL staircase could collapse the level below if kicked too much, leaving a ton of rocks in its place and preventing entry forever?

Why would kicking a down staircase ever result in what is above you falling on you?

On the other hand, you have altered the topology of the world, which could have dire effects. Like making the game unwinable. Perhaps killing you is a mercy?

It'd be nice that, when a down staircase falls on you, you'd descend a level. That way it would represent that the staircase fell under you (killing you in the meantime).

Your mighty kick causes severe structural damage to the stairway. (more)
The dungeon suddenly shakes and everything starts to break down. (more)
You fall along the staircase! (more)
You enter a huge cavern, which seems to be hewn from the stone. Several globes of bright light floating in the air illuminate the cave very efficiently. In the distance beautiful stone buildings are scattered throughout the cavern. The workmanship is obviously of dwarven origin. You seem to have entered an ancient dwarven city! (more)
You die... (more)


:D

So with an AoLS, do you survive and keep playing?

Looks fair enough to me.

And what happens to the staircase? How do you go up after it's collapsed?

Don't care if you're on track for an ultimate ending or chaos ending.
