Cliffhanger at a collapsed temple

1. Like you said, Discard the cliffhanger

or

2. At the point of collapse, play your cliff hanger out first, then play out the escape. (Kind of link Indiana being chased by the stone while the temple was collapsing).

I kinda like that 2. idea, since getting fortune at the temples is a little easier then chasing artifacts, that would add to the risk factor.

Yeah that seemed odd since a cliffhanger makes you roll for collapse right away.
