08-03-07, 01:21 AM OK. Hypothetical situation. An earth elemental is in a big cavern, 200 feet tall. It is fighting something in the cavern. Can the Earth Elemental use earth glide to climb up the walls, over the roof of the cavern, then drop down and land on its opponent, AND use earth glide to dive into the ground (and take no damage)?

Its earth glide is described as being like a fish through water, so it could certainly dive out of the ceiling of a cavern and into the floor. However, it can't glide through opponents, so if it lands on a creature below, it will be stopped and take appropriate falling damage (the creature it landed on will also take damage, but that's its problem).
