So, for example, once he has somebody grabbed, he "tries to drag you back into the dark pit he rose out of ...  roll dice ominously, fail ... He gets you about halfway there: you can sense that if you can't break free of him by his next turn, you're in real trouble ..."The thing I think you want to address is: - How does the party reconnect? - Is there a handle on the outside of the lid? - What action does it take to open the lid    - from the inside    - from the outside - Can the inside person get the lid open while grabbed and prone?Because, of course, everyone's first instinct is going to be to rescue the "captured" character .. especially if you're as ominous as removing the bugbear and the PC's mini from the battle mat when they enter the pit.</blockquote>
