DM question - level reset? (lemmy.world)

Hey everyone! Just trying to figure out if what I'm thinking is a good idea or the worst idea ever. My group is only two sessions in. They started at level 5. I have them going into a supposed-to-die battle wherein they wake in hell and have to figure out how to get out (yadda yadda this is where the real story starts). I was thinking that when they awaken in the underworld that they'd revert to level 1 and lose their gear, and that's my contention. Is that a dick DM move? Or would it make sense? I know it's hard to give a solid answer and the best way to know is to know my players, but I don't exactly want to ask them for obvious reasons. How would you all feel?

Thanks!

I meant bring it back to the power it was and then some, help it scale with the player.

One of my players has two pieces of Fraz'urbluu's staff. He knows he can become a lot more powerful with more pieces but that it comes with consequences he would rather avoid.

It's all a deep part of his personal plot and he loves it. Granted it was never something I took from him and nerfed.
