But deeper in the dungeon is a magical healing pool or a Wizards study with healing potions or something of that nature. This allows the survivors to continue with their mission. As long as these sort of dungeons are an occasional foray this won't feel too contrived.
And for many years, this is what I did. I even had demonic vending machines in some dungeons that dispensed potions (at a 20% markup from list prices). They were protected by some infernal being named TOM’S... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%27s_Snacks

But it DID feel contrived.
