I think it's fine as is, the cut scenes aren't bad and I think it's good for new adventurers. HOWEVER I would change it so that...

1. IF there is a new adventurer you get a tombstone bonus that isnt poetics and is instead the higher tier one. Maybe even make the exp bonus greater to encourage higher level players leveling classes to run it rather then avoid the roulette all together.

2. If there is no new adventurer let us skip cut scenes.
