Bruce,
It's called the "leap tall buildings in single bound and scape knee" method of ladder descent. Best executed by selecting healer and getting heal spell ready (for early on when party is way weak) and then selecting one with best athletics and scream Geronimo. When party is stronger you will have less qualms about this form of lemming suicide. Heh, my first RPG experiences we had a guy whose character was Bruce the Bad. He was legendary at losing from unbeatable situations. Every time you got in a melee, in a short space of time he manged a "hit nearest friend, damage critical". Never seen a worse sustained run of poor dice - he would have appreciated our ladder descent methods (miss nearest rung, fall heavily on friend in front).
