The picture shows the 3rd room of the mansion. No shield or extra life yet.
The eye ball and the scorpion were previously on the closed trap door. Jack did pull the lever and only then knew what (fast) happened. The eye ball is easy to avoid, but the scorpion did end in the gap on top of the vine that is Jack’s only way of progress. Several tests showed me that the scorpion not always but nearly always arrives in the gap. And if it does not always very fast. Both things have to do with the position and moving direction of the scorpion. And knowing how things work doesn’t help at all. The trap door opens and you have to accept if it will be cheap death or not. Russian roulette in my opinion.

That thing in the lava just left of where Jack is now, is a very fast left-right moving platform. It moves without reaching the solid bricks at both sides. The latter makes it easy to jump on the moving platform. But going further to the left is tough. The platform moves so fast that I can’t know when to pull the lever. Like in the other room. The difference is that I could teach myself how to handle this. So no Russian roulette, but a high risk of falling in the lava. Either in the widest pool or in the left one.

If Jack jumps LEFT from the skull in room 14891 to 14890 and lands on that big block with the knight on it, he can jump to his death to his hearts content, but he will always re-appear on top of that block.

Great mansion, love all the nooks and crannies.

as promised I have designed a new (standard) custom mansion, to give us something to play until brell's TPI and the expansion pack comes along.
My new mansion is called THE BIRDCAGE, and is beta-tested at the moment. Release is only a heartbeat away.....   Wink Smile

It's gonna be
normal
, with about 60 rooms.

Here is a preview snapshot to wet your appetite:
