Greetings

Evard's Black tentacles makes a grapple check vs any creature that enter's it's area, right. So what if...

Bob is in the middle of the tentacle spell but is not grappled, and he tries to move out of the spell area, do the tentacles get to make a grapple check for each square bob moves (is moving inside the spell area considered entering the area?) or do the tentacles only get to grapple Bob on their turn?

Thanks... :)

Only on their turn. No attacks of opportunity.

Not quite. While they don't get AoO's:
The tentacles start grapling the same round the spell is completed and ...

Any creature that enters the area of the spell is immediately attacked by the tentacles. Even creatures who aren’t grappling with the tentacles may move through the area at only half normal speed.

Thanks guys...

But what I really want to know is if I'm at the center of the spell area and I try to move out, do the tentacles get to grapple me (Is moving inside the area considered entering the area?)

Thanks again... :)
