1) Can you open a 20 foot diameter Gate directly below a bunch of people standing on the ground so they fall through into a point 500 feet in midair above the ground in the Elemental Plane of Fire? Do people just fall through?
2) If that's stopped by their feet touching the ground and stopping the gate from forming, could you do it by Disintegrating the ground they were standing on, then casting Celerity and Gating before they fell?
3) If somehow I'm reading it wrong and it can't be opened in horizontal orientation, can you open it and then chuck or trick unwilling enemies into it by other means?
There is some text in the PHB under Gate missing from the SRD, to do with putting it in a hallway to intercept attacks; this was what made me think of using it to intercept whole creatures.
