Hi, folks,
I have a situation in my game in which the players have been sleep-gassed, swallowed by a brass behir, and left in its belly. Because this was a design feature in the construct, I described one of those expanding iris-type openings leading out of the "stomach," and so one of the players decides to cast "Knock" to open it.
This is on the line between rules and concept. Obviously, if this was an actual behir, "knock" wouldn't work. Should I stick with the set rules (cut your way out, or muscle through to the throat and try to climb out, which would be inconvenient), or should I treat it as creative spellcasting and allow them to at least begin the process of getting out through its mouth?
Oh, and to complicate things, the construct is currently sailing along a river of lava in an empty void between planetary debris... don't know what thay'll do if they kill the thing (probably rip off some of its armor plating and use them as oars...).
