[QUOTE="s@squ@tch, post: 4090481, member: 42885"] OK, so the creature fell unconscious after Asenfel's blast. The way I see it, on its turn (since it goes first each combat round), it would get its regeneration (I'm assuming this would be considered a free action), then return to consciousness, allowing it a full turn of action -- which it uses as two move actions -- one to stand up, the other to shamble off a bit more into the brush. Now, the question to what happens to the folks inside is a sticky wicket. Would those coming after Asenfel's turn that are swallowed AND not-paralyzed (i.e. Lo-Kag) be able to win an unopposed grapple check? The rules really don't specify things one way or another. On one hand, you are inside a creature, and in the real world, when something goes unconscious, their internal organs and systems (the important one in this case is the digestive tract) usually continues to function. I'm inclined to give Lo-Kag a choice between getting a non-lethal attack (unopposed) or a successful grapple check (to climb back into the mouth). But since it acts first in the next round (before Dreadnought), I can't imagine him getting the same chance as Lo-Kag. Keep in mind that although the creature is unconscious, the acid damage in the gullet will continue on all those inside. I'm open to discussion to make sure that the correct things happen -- the whole grapple/swallow whole/regeneration combination has a lot of room for interpretation, and I don't want anyone to feel they were railroaded.
