[QUOTE="Aloïsius, post: 4438416, member: 1191"] IRL, being swallowed whole by a critter 20 times bigger than you means that you don't have a lot of options. The problem is that with D&D : 1) PC are supposed to be able to win against any creature and have fun with it. 2) size does not matter at all. So, what to do with a purple worm and similar monsters ? There are only three solutions : 1) make it as deadly as it should be. bite-grab-swallow means certain death. That's what I call "chtulhu realism". Next time, the PC will run away as they are supposed to do. 2) make it as puny as you think it should be to be funny. "yeah, your friend is in the jaw of a 50 tons monstruosity, you see him climbing out while punching its teeth !" "Ardorius, the wizard is still alive in the entrail of the beast, but a little wet...". 3) don't use purple worms. [/QUOTE]
