[QUOTE="Nyarlathotep, post: 3172831, member: 1799"] Because disabled does not equal dead. Because being disabled does not even equal being prone. Because the character was the only one who was in the Elemental's "area of control". Because the elemental had already whirlwinded his companions in a river of lava. Because the character couldn't outrun the elemental, was convinced that it would pursue him, and wanted to give his companions not in a river of lava time to escape. Because that's the way that it happened.
