[QUOTE="FoxWander, post: 4046318, member: 1356"] Emphasis mine of course. You've made an excellent summary of the spell, except for the sentence I highlighted. Nothing in the text/crunch of the spell supports that the tentacles stop attempting to grapple anyone in the area. Which is the point I made when I jumped into this. The text of the spell specifically states that "Every creature within the area of the spell must make a grapple check." There are no exceptions written in the spell. There's nothing to indicate that creatures who escape the initial grapple attempt will be unmolested unless they leave and then re-enter the area of the spell. Quite the contrary- if you're in the area of the spell, you will get grappled. If you already are grappled, then the tentacles try to crush you for the indicated damage. The idea that there is only ONE attempt to grapple creatures in the area not only makes no sense, but it isn't supported by the text/crunch of the spell. [/QUOTE]
