Actions

◆: Constrict. Each creature restrained with Wordcoil Serpent's Wrap ability must make Resilience(VIT) check equal to 8 + its Stamina(STR) or take 2d12 + STR bludgeoning damage. Wordcoil Serpent can use this ability once per turn. Whenever a creature completely fails on a constrict check, that creature gains 1 level of system stress. If Wordcoil Serpent has a creature restrained using its wrap ability at the beginning of its turn, it can immediately use constrict as a free action. That use does not count against 1 per turn limit.

◆◆: Bite. Melee unarmed attack, Exertion(STR) to hit. 2d12 + STR slashing damage. This attack deals additional die of damage if target is smaller than Wordcoil Serpent. Whenever Wordcoil Serpent fully hits with a bite attack it can choose to grapple the target. While the target is grappled in this way Wordcoil Serpent automatically deals its bite attack damage to it at the beginning of each of its turns and cannot use bite attack. Wordcoil Serpent can release the grapple as a free action. Grappled creature or any other creature in melee range of the grappled creature can use its ◆ to make Exertion(STR) contest against Wordcoil Serpent's Exertion(STR). On success grapple ends.

◆◆, If Wordcoil Serpent is grappling creature using bite attack: Devour. Melee unarmed attack, Wordcoil Serpent makes Bite attack with advantage against grappled creature. Grappled creature must make Resilience(STR) check equal to the damage taken, max 40, or be devoured. Creature that is devoured is restrained, fully obscured from outside and takes 2d10 acid and 2d10 bludgeoning damage at the beginning of each of its turns. Wordcoil Serpent has resistance to all damage done by devoured creatures. Whenever Wordcoil Serpent takes damage, if devoured creature is still alive, it must make Toughness(VIT) check with advantage equal to half of the damage taken, max 40. On failure the creature is thrown out, knocked prone in front of Wordcoil Serpent and is not devoured anymore.

◆◆, "target must be smaller than and must share space with ": Wrap. Melee unarmed attack, Stamina(STR) to hit. 2d12 + STR Bludgeoning damage. On hit, the target is restrained and suffocating. Creature can use its ◆◆ to make Exertion(STR) against your Stamina(STR). On success the creature is no longer restrained and suffocating.

◆◆◆, If Wordcoil Serpent is grappling a creature using bite attack: Chew. Melee unarmed attack, Wordcoil Serpent makes 2 bite attacks against the creature it is grappling with its bite attack. It has advantage on both of those attacks
