Arbiter of Ash - Punishment Cycle or just a bug

Whenever I slap arbiters nuts between a couple bricks real quick he always hits the hallway move twice, so 14x times.

Is this a bug? Or is this a feature meant to punish me for nuking him?

I personally love it and hope it was designed for that purpose.

We need more ways to scale up the difficulty (and rewards? Please) on these pinnacles vs just nerfing builds into the ground to keep them strong.

Also, I'm sure others experienced that doing this to Doriyani can sometimes lead to an extended and very difficult first phase. It is great.
