First off I would like to say that I really love the Gauntlet mission. It is fun that the monsters & themes switch with each room and the display monitors are an awesome touch.

For those that have not seen, the Gauntlet mission has 3 rooms much like an arena and before the party button of each room there are 3 monitors that show Monster family, Theme (status), and Monster family of the danger room type area knights are about to face. There are also health pads in-between fights like an arena, but there is no early out only victory or death.

My idea is to take the Gauntlet a step further. Pretty much just like is now, only the monster families and status would each be randomly rolled at the start of the map. This would be great for re-playability & create some fun and interesting situations. I think this would be a good way to make a reason to go into the clockworks as well. Maybe make it so that it can come up as the last map of an even stratum in kind of a mini-set, similar to the way Briar Bone Barrage appears. I think it should have it's own icon though to distinguish it from Arenas, say maybe an Iron Fist (gauntlet) icon.
