[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8596188, member: 7030563"] RAW it does not block Aura of Life: [I]"Life-preserving energy radiates from you in an aura with a 30-foot radius.

It is actually better if the Barbarian gets swallowed. Since he is 3rd level, if he is not swallowed there is a minute chance he could actually be killed with a really lucky crit. If he is swallowed he goes to 0 every turn and is back up to swing (with disadvantage) next turn. With 100 turns to kill the purple worm, he will eventually get there. The point is this - this spell is WAY, WAY, WAY more powerful than twilight sanctuary when it comes to keeping allies from being killed. It is not even close and keep in mind we are talking about a ridiculous case here, a single 3rd level character.
