Gold Mire
When the party reaches a Gold Mire, each Trouper will lose some of their gold and be asked whether they want to jump back in to retrieve it. If a Trouper dives back in, they will take damage, but they will regain an amount of gold equal to the total gold stolen by the Gold Mire, divided by the number of Troupers who chose to dive back in.

The Gold Mire may have modifiers which indicate how much damage will be taken upon diving in, and how much gold was stolen from the party. A pool of mud will deal relatively low damage, a pool of gloop will deal relatively medium damage, and a pool of acid will deal relatively high damage. A bubbling pool will steal a small amount of gold from the party, a sizzling pool will steal a medium amount of gold, and a rancid pool will steal a large amount of gold from the party.
