Message: <blockquote data-quote="jbear" data-source="post: 5353108" data-attributes="member: 75065">yes the OP's first post certainly attempted to paint the player in a negative light.He backtracked fairly quickly on that in his following posts.Just because someone posts about what they consider a troublesome player, others are still able to judge for themselves. I didn't really see anythin that the OP described the Bard to be doing as either 'troublesome' or to be the equivalent of a 'dick-move'.As for the second issue: The end corner of the victim's bright red cloak was snagged between the purple worms teeth which the Bard of course spotted when the worm opened it's big mouth to burp. Assuming, given the quality of that fine cloak, that it was still attached to its wearer, the rest from there was childs play for someone as multi talented as the bard to resolve <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />I agree with Shin Okada, in so far as this is definitely not something explicit enough to be poopoohed with the wave of a hand, and 'end this pointless discussion now' type phrase.  I'd quite like to understand how this works better myself, 'cos if this came up in my game I wouldn't have a clue if I was interpreting the rules correctly. Not that I would make my judgement based on the rules necessarily, not when things got so hairy, but if I'm going to bend and break (as a DM) the rules, I like to be aware of when I'm doing it.For me it is very relevant that the Purple Worm has a feature that explicitly states that it blocks line of sight and effect when it swallows its victim. If the player was clever enough to explain how one could get around this obstacle, then I'd let it fly, move on and then have the Purple Worm swallow the Bard <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
