(note: this was prior to 3.5 coming out)The player of the cleric sat red-faced and sheepish.  He got ribbed for a good long time about that encounter.   To this day, he doesn't know why he never considered using spells.How many people can claim that they swallowed whole - 5 times - by the same monster.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
