If we'd done it purely rules as written, Alizome would have pogo'd up slimy and said HI DRAGON LADY HOW ARE YOU *slurp* back into the stomach, and while that may be better 'mechanically' and save time in real combats, we didn't really want to do that because it would look and read a lot more comedic and completely remove the IC ability of Xarces to think he's doing anything other than digesting a party member alive. That'd make things a lot more problematic and cut things short pretty drastically one way or the other. Now, if Xarces hadn't made his vore check to pull her back in, next 'round' I'd have posed emerging. Basically, we decided not to include something that Ambrose did to speed combat (one-check-in, one-check-out) for something where we wanted to actually get to describe stuff we wanted to play out. It is taking a bit longer than I hoped, and I am sorry! It is a lot of fun to play out though, and if you're not enjoying reading it, sorry ^_^ I'll try to keep it more in spoilers.]]
