[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6585260, member: 6669384"] The chest compartment seems to act a lot like "Swallow Whole". I'd use those mechanics for it. And if the lava is more dense and viscous than water, then drowning is less likely. The denser the liquid, the more likely a human being is to naturally float to the top. Want to make it nasty? Have Anti-Magic inside the chest compartment, or at least a [I]Dimensional Lock[/I] effect, to keep people from escaping via d-door, Abundant step, Shadow Step, t-port, etc. If the monster is Epic, the party is likely to be as well, and that means a lot of people who can blip around the field via class feature, spell or item. Large/huge Grapple monsters are scary, on paper. In play, at that level, far too many will have some form of [I]Freedom of Action[/I] available, and as soon as that happens things like the Kraken become plush toys. [/QUOTE]
