How to counter pillaring from the Warden.

I would like to suggest a way to solve this problem without it being something basic like "let it climb walls" or "let it break blocks". My suggestion is that if the player pillars away from the Warden, it will infect the roof above the player with skulk, and then crawl out (kind of like the way it crawls out of the ground, but upside down because it is crawling out of the roof. In order to do this, it would have to turn a patch of the roof into skulk. Then it would crawl out of the skulk and drop down on the player. This could add to the scary vibe and make the Warden a real threat.
