Space 18:
You smell something poison, something noxious. You pass through a haze of strange, green gas as you enter the square, but it fades after a few seconds. You feel cold. You feel empty. You start to decay. Maybe a part of you knows it’s an illusion, but in that split second when your body feels like it might go limp and when you look at your hand and see skin melting. You see bone. You’d best roll the dice so you don’t wind up a skeleton prop for the next player.

The reassurance made Ako smile a little. "Thank you. Hopefully I'll be joining you shortly. Are you doing alright? I know you fell into this ice bath too." Tossing the dice, Ako pulled herself up and out of the frigid water and wrung her skirt and hair out as she moved to the next space.
At first, all she noticed was a smell that made her recoil. Something disgusting and alarming in the haze she passed through. She prayed that would be the worst of it....but she could not have been more wrong. Her knees threatened to give out, and she looked down at her gloved hands, horrified as the fabric seemed to practically melt away....right along with the flesh beneath it. Amber eyes widened in alarm as fear gripped her. Her body was decaying, flesh melting away, and the scream she wanted to let out remained lodged in her throat.
