Constrict, Flurry of Blows, and Confusion

Azhrarn

First Post
I have a PC that is a constrictor naga from Oriental Adventures who has advanced through Monk. My questions are A) How much damage does Constrict do? B) Can she constrict off of every blow? C) Can you constrict off of a flurry? D) Flurry attacks are attacks, so can you flurry of grapple attacks to do damage?
This is puzzling to me. Any help would be rather appreciated.

A should be defined by the race description for the special attack. The monk levels have no effect on the damage dealt by a natural weapon or special attack.

B - you Constrict a/ after a successful grapple check, or b/ when you use Improved Grab to initiate a grapple. I don't know the constrictor naga specifically, but I'd be surprised if it has an Improved Grab that triggers off an unarmed strike. It's usually related to a specific natural weapon.

C - again, Improved Grab is usually triggered by a specific natural weapon, and you can't use a natural weapon in a Flurry. It's also triggered by a successful grapple check, but making a grapple check isn't something you can do in a Flurry either.

D - you can't 'flurry of grapple attacks'. You can only attack with unarmed strikes or monk weapons in a Flurry. If you're grappling and want to flurry, you'll have to use the 'attack opponent with light weapon' option to use an unarmed strike or monk weapon... and since that option doesn't use a grapple check, Constrict doesn't trigger.
