There's no maybe about it. You should publish these as "optional" rules for your ShadowDark module, even if you abstract the numerical distances.

Go in slow, kite a monster at running speed through the gauntlet of traps, or let the PCs choose trap damage over monster damage during a sprinting retreat 😀

Not to railroad it _will_ happen, but create the possibility that it _could_ happen. Your map should be constructed to maximize the interactions implied by your rules set.

Thanks I appreciate the input! I agree it gives a push your luck agency to the PC that I really enjoy so I will do it. The results likely to be hilarious or catastrophic or both given the right condition.
