There's a sealed trapdoor below them (air tight magic seal) and a wooden trapdoor above them. They're standing in a room full of refuse and orcish bodily waste.Above them is what sounds to be a large group of orcs.The orcs are in a room full of lots of very dry wood...They have a lit torch in hand...They've just tossed down the ends of the party's rope.Negotiations are in progress to not have the orcs drop the torch and burn down the place above them thus sucking out their air supply and sealing them in an oven...The orcs are actually agreeing to go along. As they like the give of 6 new horses and their leader is thanking the party for recently promoting him to leader of their band by taking out his rival. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />So an orc peers over the pit to look down at the PCs."I shoot it with my crossbow!" the cleric yells out...The other players get a look of horror on their faces. I get that look a DM gets when they realize "I didn't want to kill off all the PCs but you've left me no choice..."He hits the guy in the neck and suddenly the door above them slams shut, they hear wood being moved around, and then the sounds of air sucking upwards as it starts to get hot...In the end they managed to figure out how to get the magic door below them open before I started having them make suffication saves... I should have had the air run out anyway a few hours later as there was no other air supply for the entire place; but I went soft...The same player pulled the same tactic in a later scene when they were trying to sneak up on an Ettin... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
