deals
1d6 points of damage if it contacts exposed flesh.

for each PC. So if their are 8 PCs then give out XP for 8 CR2 encounters.

your players take full round of movement in between each Piercer falling.

C9. COUNCIL CHAMBER OF THE SLAVE LORDS
I am going to play the tournament version. I'll let the characters
be captured.
COMBAT
If anything approaches within 50 ft of the storoper,
it will attack by suddenly shooting out its tentacles; it prefers to attack
2 victims at once, each with 3 strands. The first two victims successfully
attacked will be injected with the storopers venom. If the venom
fails the storoper will continue to hold the creature and the Weakness
will take effect next round.
Strands(Ex):
Most encounters with a storoper begin when it fires its strong, sticky
strands. The creature has six such members that can strike up to
50 feet away (no range increment).
Attach (Ex):
If a storoper hits with a strand attack, the strand latches onto the opponent's
body. This deals no damage. If this is one of the creatures
first two such hits in a day it will let go if then venom takes effect.
If the venom fails or this is the third or later succesful attack in the
day for the storoper it will draw the stuck opponent 10 feet closer each
subsequent round (no attack of opportunity) unless the creature breaks
free, which requires a successful Escape Artist check (DC 15) or Strength
check (DC19). The storoper can draw in a creature within 5 feet (10
feet if Large) of itself and bite with a +4 attack bonus, in that round.
A single attack that
deals at least 10 pts of damage severs a strand (AC 20).
Venom (Ex): The first two victims successfully
attacked will be injected with the storoper's venom. Anyone injected
must make a Fortitude save (DC 14) or become immobilized. In fact
it will appear that they have turned to stone! One round after the
"petrification", the victims recover -- but they are now drugged and must
succeed at a Will save (DC 14) or will fight to aid the creature to the
best of their ability! If the storoper is killed, its drugged "defenders"
will stop attacking and wander about aimlessly until the venom wears off
(this takes 10 minutes). The storoper can only inject victims twice
per day.
Weakness (Ex): After the storoper uses
its venom its strands function similar to a roper's strands. A storoper's
strands can sap an opponent's strength. Anyone caught by a strand
must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 18) or take 2d8 points of temporary
Strength damage.
Immune to normal Missiles (Ex): Becuase
of their stony exterior, normal missile fire will not injure the storoper.
