I would do my best to encourage the player that that would be a foolish idea but if he persisted he would get shredded.  Or maybe I'd be nice and just have the monster drag him off to his underground lair for a unique rescue mission.  Maybe the seaweed needs fertilizer for it's little pods back home so it goes and buries the halfling up to his neck in the seasilt where the weed makes its home.Or maybe the seaweed is enchanted by a sea witch who is enamored with a party member so when the halfling makes the "jump" he gets captured and you have an interesting lil side quest in store as the witch bargains for the prisoner for her love interest.  Depends on how rat-bastardy of a DM you want to be.</blockquote>
