(partial charge in surprise round to attack rear crature at maximum reach, AB+15 bite damage 2d8+12(20ave)its enraged so its touch does an additional 10d10(55dmg) it gets an auto grap at +23 on the graple check(very likely success)for an additional 2d8+12(20dmg) it then swallows doing another2d8+12and10d10 for(20+55dmg).  Party wins initiative if they attack in melee the remorhaz can likely get an AoO and the entire attack routine I just gave could happen again excpet the initial bte would be at +13 without the charge bonus.  When the remoraz goes it could attack again for all that damage.  Now the wizard(with flight) in the party or someone with good movement(boots striding/springing) could move away and bombard the creature with spells and missiles.  The problem is it is very possible even likely that it might take out one or two party members in the surprise+1st round, and this could be even vs level 12ish parties.</blockquote>
