With the +4 for unconscious canceling out the -4 for doing lethal Lo-Kag has +15 to hit for 1d4+9 bludgeoning damage. Once he gets out of the mouth he'll join in beating this thing to death.

-quote from the Wizards web board
The large warforged and goliath are able to pull the two helpless heroes out of the plant creature, then set upon it with their fists.
After a minute or so of pounding, the creature appears to have drawn its last breath.
Around the same time, both the gith and priest regain feeling in their limbs, it appears the paralytic agent decomposes rapidly upon exposure to fresh air.
The plant creature lies dead, Ganyon, your guide, appears from behind a bush on the opposite side of the path and returns to your group.
"Crikey -- that wuz amazin'!" he says,"I've never see one o' them so big before, but then agin, I wulda been long gone before I had a chance ta look at it up close, ya know?"
OOC: Any actions before you set off once again into the breach?
Morph nods his Annis Hag head and speaks. "I understand. I will keep this form for a short while longer, there is no need to return to my normal form right now." He pulls out his wand and uses it on Dreadnaught.
Davan says a quiet prayer, then casts a healing spell on whomever he can.
ooc: Use sacred boost to automatically maximize the healing spell, then cast whatever is needed to get everyone up to full strength. Sorry I can't be specific, but I have like 4 minutes to post

The priest begins to channel positive energy around him, those organically based creatures feel the swell of power infusing their souls and bodies.
He then procedes to offer prayers to the Host for healing the grevious wounds that have beset the party members who had been consumed by the plant creature.
Moments later, the wounds have vanished from all of the flesh-and-blood wounded.
OOC:
Lo-Kag - receives maximized CCW, and a normal CLW -- fully healed
Void - receives a maximized CSW -- fully healed
Davan - receives a maximized CSW -- fully healed
(Summary, 1 4th level spell used, 2 3rd level spells used and 1 1st level spell used -- all three turn attempts used for sacred boost.)
Dreadnought received a RLD from Morph's wand, at 64 hp now.
Dreadnought inclines his head gratefully towards Morph as some of the dents and tears in his body turn momentarily fluid and seal themselves under his spell.
"Thank you. It is probably best not to stay here too long. The noise may have attracted attention."
Morph nods at the other warforged. He pulls out another wand, this one made of black iron and tipped with a gear made of platinum. Small sapphires dot each of the teeth of the gear. "This should repair any remaining damage," is all he says before expending some of the wands power. "More damaged than I thought. Once my spells are restored I can work out the remaining dents, assuming we don't run into more trouble."
OOC: I don't think Morph needs to burn all of those charges on his wand -- Darv has Repair Critical Damage memorized and OnlytheStrong probably has his Lesser Humanoid Essence memorized.
So, I used 2 CSW that Davan had left after casting Lesser Humanoid Essence on Dreadnought, and rolled up 64 pts of healing, so he would be fully healed.
As he finishes tending to Dreadnaught, Darv looks up. "We should indeed move, and quickly, lest the noise -- and the scent of blood! -- draw further predators to us."
Lo-Kag will continue to take point to keep an eye out for giant tracks, having been healed and grumbling about the proper place of plants in the food chain.
OOC: I figure I might as well get SOME use out of having Track.

The sounds of the forest soon creep back into the air.
You give one last look at the carcass of the plant creature before the group heads out once more.
For those who had been swallowed, the stink of its secretions stick with you as a sickening reminder of your experience.
Ganyon continues to lead the group through the forest, while the gith appears and disappears while walking through the deep shadows. Sun breaks through the canopy occasionally, but for the most part, the trunks of the large trees are moist and covered with a mossy growth.
The rest of the day is spent slogging through the trees, the path narrowing to only a few feet here and there.
At the end of the day, Morph once again casts his spell and the party climbs the rope into the extradimensional space. Ganyon once again unpacks his bedroll and disappears into the trees.
The night passes uneventfully and the warforged rouse the others once the forest floor starts to become illuminated once again.
The next days journey passes fairly uneventfully, the only excitement coming from Ganyon while the group had stopped for lunch. He claims he saw what he said was a Tilxin Bird hovering overhead of the party for a moment.
After lunch, the forest started to give way to a more jungle-like terrain -- the tall trees gradually being replaced by a shorter, lusher undergrowth, with many vining plants sprouting from the ground. Small pools of still water begin to appear occasionally upon the ground.
About an hour later, Morph spots the invisible disc trailing behind Lo-Kag once more.
