Ordinary classical planning with STRIPS starts from one completely specified state. Here the missing locations express ignorance: not listing a pit or a monster at a room does not establish its absence. Applying the closed-world assumption to those omissions would manufacture knowledge of safety. Moreover, future sensor readings can determine which action is appropriate, so a fixed action sequence need not suffice.
The suitable object is a belief state and a contingent plan that branches on observations. A finite belief state model could in principle be compiled into a larger classical planning instance, but the ordinary physical-state STRIPS representation does not directly represent the required uncertainty and sensing.
