This one is named after an actual spell from the dnd 3.5 spell compendium called bite of the king. This one is pretty to the point, part of why I started and finished it just since the last thing I posted.
I may do more with this character but I also might never bother. The only reason I included any sort of story is because I liked emphasizing the theme of his not even being important enough for her to dwell on the attack or its outcome even while digesting him.

Awesome work, particularly on the disposal! Personally I would love to see this character again

Ah, yes, bite of the king—an 8th level domain spell that requires a 15th level or higher cleric with either the Gluttony or Hunger domains to cast.
Of course, the spell description neglects to state what happens if the victim dies before the spell expires some 15+ rounds later. Does a half digested body appear in an adjacent space? Several gallons of chime or dung? Inquiring minds want to…well, no, they don't really want to know.
Still, it's the only spell in "canonical" D&D 3.5 that allows for same-size vore. There are tricks you can do with enlarge person, reduce person, permanency, and amorphous form (the latter is also from the Spell Compendium), but that's not really the same.
Anyway, good story. That guy totally failed at rogue-ing. Good ones would have managed the sneak attack; smart ones would have been over the horizon. :P

See, I wondered whether a sorcerer could cast it, but the book didnt give any indication i could see as to whether it was even an arcane or divine spell (or both). And yeah, I thought it was funny that it never specifies the result of actually killing someone with it, which leaves it totally open to interpretation. Idk if it's a thing in 3.5, but in pathfinder (idk which edition) there's a magical beast (and a beast form spell that allows the transformation) called a forked cat that can use the swallow whole ability on creatures up to one size category larger than their own. Default size is small but can also shapeshift to be up to size huge, I seems totally broken.
