Yeah, recently we had an adventure where we were fighting this couple of water creatures, maybe some kind of medium sized whales, half hippo, half something else :? . Well, they destroyed our vessel, and we were in deep water at their mercy, and you know what that means: little hope.
The thing is that my character or rather I, got the crazy idea of swimming into it's maw and let be swallowed, without it having to chew on me which it did a couple of times and fortunately didn't kill me. My character being a thief, I thought being inside the thing would allow me to deliver sneak attacks and give us better chances of finishing the moster before it finished us. First I considered the thing was big enough to swallow me whole without having to chew on me, so that was the folly that finaly made me do it, plus the long time it takes for someone to be asphyxiated. Well, as bad roleplaying as it might be, in desperate situations you always can take decisions based solely on game mechanics.
To make a long story short, the GM didn't allow me to do the sneak attacks, though trying, I was able to cut his belly from inside and free myself from being digested by the thing. Other characters managed to inflict enough damage to the creatures so they finally fled.
So, I have this question:
If you are swallowed by a thing that can swallow you whole and be alive inside of it, can you sneack attack it from inside?
