''I will lower you to the level where you belong... the level of dirt.''

You can initiate this maneuver whenever you have a creature grappled by using another Chthonic Serpent maneuver, such as [[Binding Constrictor (3.5e Maneuver)|Binding Constrictor]]. As part of initiating this maneuver, make a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]] with a bonus of +1 per two initiator levels. If you succeed, you violently slam your foe to the floor with a flick of your wrist to retract your weapon, dealing 6d6 damage plus an additional 1d6 damage per two initiator levels, knocking the opponent [[SRD:Prone|prone]], and forcing the foe to succeed on a [[Fortitude]] save or be [[SRD:Stunned|stunned]] for 1 round. If you lose the grapple check, you do essentially the same thing, but much more clumsily; as a result, you do half damage, the foe is not subject to stunning (and therefore does not need to make a Fortitude save), and the foe is entitled to a [[Reflex]] save to negate the maneuver outright.

Regardless of the result of the grapple check or saving throw, using this maneuver ends the grapple.
