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.

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. As part of initiating this maneuver, make a 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 prone, and forcing the foe to succeed on a Fortitude save or be 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.
