 This system is //not// meant to punish players.  Instead, it is meant to provide them with a meaningful motivation to leave the dungeon or wilderness in a timely fashion.  Failing that, it is designed to provide interesting consequences that (frequently) can be followed up on subsequent forays into the dungeon -- whether that's recovering lost equipment, ransoming a lost comrade, or the like.
