{{Sorry for the delay.}}<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>As his chin slides over rough tongue and fangs close tightly around his chest, Hobgoblin H's world becomes hot, dark, and slimy. He tries to resist and pull his head out but his injured arms are pinned too tightly.<br/>[HH ingest resist: 1d20(13)+10=23, fail; Geno ingests HH]<br/>[HH swallow resist: 1d20(19)+10=29, fail; Geno swallows HH]<br/>Geno devours the hobgoblin, easily gulping him down whole.<br/><br/>HH plunges headlong into an eagerly waiting organ through a puckered portal that closes tightly behind him. The muscular walls, slick with corrosive fluids, cradle him firmly and begin the long, fun process of extracting his nutrion. Needless to say, the poor hobgoblin is not happy about this. Making full use of the eight steel spikes that are built into his armor, the hunter thrashes and punches at his living prison.<br/>*[HH armor spike @ Geno: 1d20(5)+8 +2(rage) +1(luck) +1(haste) -4 (confinement) = 13, miss]<br/>*[HH armor spike @ Geno: 1d20(15)+8 +2(rage) +1(luck) +1(haste) -4 (confinement) = 23, hit;<span style="font-weight: bold">7 piercing damage</span>]<br/>*[HH armor spike @ Geno: 1d20(3)+3 +2(rage) +1(luck) +1(haste) -4 (confinement) = 6, miss]<br/>Geno feels a pang of indigestion but it soon passes.
