[QUOTE="AngryMojo, post: 5266081, member: 83096"] @Aegeri- I think you overestimate that particular party's ability to deal damage. Yes, there are a lot of stun/daze/immobilize effects out there for a paragon party, but they do run out. And unless your party is willing to chew through all their dailies for a standard encounter, the big bag o' hit points that a MM1 solo is will still be around. It only takes one swallow to scare the PC's, and while 2d8+7 damage isn't much for a Fighter, it can be quite a bit for a Wizard. Not to mention few clerics will bother healing until someone is bloodied, and with this creature, a softer character will go from unbloodied to swallowed in a flash. It's not designed to be a difficult encounter, hence the party level = monster level. It's designed to be interesting and fun, which these monsters can easily be. By your admission, it's an interesting setup. All you wanted was a decent encounter, and there you have it. [/QUOTE]
