Add a subrule to the rule Rooms, called “The Pit”, with this text:
If there is a room named the “Wandering Pit”, it is the Wandering Pit and it can never have a horizontal Connection.
If no room called the “Wandering Pit” exists, the Narrator shall create it at their earliest convenience, with a single Connection that is an Up Connection to a random room that does not already have a Down Connection.
In the rule “Mansion Phase”, after the step containing “If an Explorer is the only Explorer in a room, and the Black Cat is also in that room”, add a new step with the following text:
Move the Down Connection leading to the Wandering Pit to a randomly chosen room, besides the Wandering Pit itself, that does not already have a Down Connection. The Wandering Pit’s Up Connection now leads to the chosen room.
Seems like a lot of Narratorial map maintenance every turn for an effect that we mostly won’t care about.

Can you change “with an Up Connection to a random room that does not already have a vertical connection and no other Connections” to “ that does not already have a Down Connection”. The way it’s worded now is confusing to me, and I think there’s no reason to complicate the criteria.
If there’s a purpose behind it that requires the text the way it is, can you explain your thinking?
