They would move at the end of each round and go up/down 5 ft. It was a room with a ceiling 15 ft above, so sometimes they would slam against the ceiling. What I did was roll it up randomly and write down the situation ebforehand, like so:Rd 1: All squares at ground level (15 ft from ceiling)Rd 2: Whites go down (20 ft), blacks go up (10 ft)Rd 3: Whites go up (15 ft), blacks go up (5 ft)Rd 4: Whites go up (10 ft), blacks go down (10 ft)Rd 5: Whites go down (15 ft), blacks go up (5 ft)Rd 6: Whites go down (20 ft), blacks go up (slam against ceiling)...I had the PCs roll a bunch of balance checks each at the start of the session, and used them, which saved time and I knew immediately what happened (it was DC 5 to stay upright if your square moved up and DC 10 if it moved down, IIRC, or maybe 10/15). I had them fight four hell-hounds. Worked out to be a fun fight, with people readying actions to jump out of the way, trying to take advantage of being at a height, etc. Hope that helps, and I strongly recommend rolling out the results of the movements beforehand.</blockquote>
