The wood inside the trunk continues to distend, crushing the occupant to a bloody paste, just as a thick acidic sap fills the chamber to digest the prey. It takes 30 points of damage inflicted to one spot on a tree to create a hole large enough to extract a Medium victim from the trunk.Acid (Ex): The acidic sap exuded into the trap chamber does an additional 2d4 hit points of damage to a creature every round, in addition to the crushing damage. After four rounds, the chamber is full (trapped victims who have not been crushed and/or digested at this point may drown/ suffocate — see core rulebookll, p.85), Non-magical possessions may also be destroyed at the Game Master's discretion; paper, cloth and leather dissolve within a round. Metal corrodes and melts away within six. Anything that breaches the trunk (inflicts 10 points of damage in a single spot) releases a spray of acid that does 2d4 points of damage to anyone outside of the tree who's standing within 10 feet.Crushing (Ex): Once a TREE traps a creature within its trunk, it does 3d4 hit points every round, automatically. Trapped victims do not have the room to stage their own attacks to escape. Spells with semantic components cannot be cast. Nor can most that require material components or foci that cannot be reached. Even spells with only verbal components require successful Concentration checks, as if the caster were entangled (see core rulebook II, p. 84), to be cast.</blockquote>
