[QUOTE="Notmousse, post: 3373289, member: 39739"] I'll give the DM the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't know just how poorly he adjudicated the rules, but as a player I would've hollered about the following. 1) The Cube was squeezing. And AFAIK wasn't suffering any of the penalties for doing so. 2) The air is 'solid'? Seriously, I'd be pissed if that description ended up a monster unless I rolled amazingly low (even as a level 7 fighter) spot check. I don't care what the rules say, if there's an obvious tell like 'floating' objects, I'm going to call foul. 3) Denied a grapple check once engulfed. They have grapple stats for just that reason. 4) It had all four within it, which I can only assume happened in one round (if *I* saw the party get sucked up into the 'solid air' I'd be attacking from a decent range), which would be impossible. 5) The [I]fireball[/I] TPKing everyone. Possibly the guy who decided to use the wand, but I would argue that the cube takes up all space around the wand isolating the wizard as well as the rest of the party. And I think I would've smacked the wizard for not using say magic missile, 4d4+4 damage would've hurt it a bit without any risk to the rest of the party. And after looking at the thing I'm surprised to say you can kill a cube with acid orbs. [/QUOTE]
