A little background. Our adventuring party is the remains from a military force that was sent to investigate a temple. We were attacked by a dragon, and all of the troops were killed. Now, me...the lovable undercover military police...aka rogue...is stuck in the middle of the situation.
During our struggle to find food, shelter (a big storm hit us hard), and to just survive...we befriended a group of refugee orcs (not evil on this world) and attacked a dragon. Due to the lack of food, the orcs informed us that trolls make good eating. Usually, you cook it first, but if you eat it raw, you "absorb its power, and become a true warrior!"
To make a good impression on our orc allies, we all ate some (well, except for the annoying elf wizard, and...um...she ended up being the only intelligent one!). The results are...interesting. Those who survived a fortitude check gained max hps for their next level on the roll. However, the unlucky thief missed his by one point. Along with several other allies, we now have a small troll growing in our stomachs. It is too late to induce vomiting.
Next game session is in a week. Any ideas on what to do?

Point out to the GM that Acid attacks are, like fire attacks, something that trolls dont regenerate from. I think. But that probably wont work because he'd have to reverse himself.
An alternative would be to try a Cure Disease. I think that works on parasites, and maybe the itty bitty tummy troll would count as such.
Another alternative would be a rather messy bit of medieval surgery. I'd only try this if you had a cleric with a lot of healing spells handy, and definitely use a leech or midwife who's performed or assisted in a caesarean before.
If you're more into the silly, you could try shrinking someone down and swallowing them... Then they duke it out with the troll in your stomach, defeat it, and cut it up into small enough parts to pass back up your esophagus. You'd need a good shrink potion or spell though.
Hmm... what else.... I'll think about it.

wow. That's pretty creative about shrinking.
Make sure you have some water-breathing and free-action

ROFL...I love the shrinking idea. Mmm....here ranger, ranger, ranger. The explination about the stomach acid is that some people have stronger stomach acid then others, and right now, the troll is regenerating a little faster then then the acid is dissolving it.
This GM does a LOT of things different from the books. Shoot, all the spells are different. but, so far, I am having a blast.

If you're having a blast the GM is doin things right
Thats a big reason I like variant/house rules. It keeps some mystery in the game.

Swallow some additional freshly squeezed bile?

Swallowing more bile is a pretty good idea. you'd have to do it for a long time though if the troll has had a lot of time to grow.
I still can't believe you took dietary advice from orcs!

Or you could get totally smashed and hope the tiny little troll ODs before you. After all, you probably have better tolerance than he does...

What about someone with x-ray vision + stabbing the troll through your gut with priest summoned flaming sword + heal + repeat

Perhaps eat LOTS of pickles, and drink the pickle juice too.... raise the acid level in your tummy just enough that it overcomes the trollie's regeneration.... Delissandra Splitshadow - Stealer of Hearts - Far Seekers, The Rathe

Swipey- Bravo on the shrink idea! lol That's excellent! I've always favored plots to be more on the silly side myself.
You could try eating lots and lots of prunes. heh I work at an emergency medical facillity, and you'd be surprised at the dimensions of foregin bodies that the doctors will simply "let pass." Just because an object is too big to come back up, doesn't mean it's too big to come out the other end.

1. Kill said rogue.
2. Cut open stomach.
3. Kill little troll before it becomes a big troll.
4. Feast on dead rogue, but leave head and heart and skeleton intact.
5. Go back to city and tell clerics some trolls nearly ate the rogue and get him raised from the dead.

got poison craft? if so whip up a nice poison from the surrounding flora... and hope you pass the fortitude save and he doesn't get yourself a cure poison and then swallow another dose. rinse and repeat.

Just to let everyone know, we found an alchemy lab in a hidden part of the dungeon, and were able to use the ingredients to make a solution that increased out stomachs acid.
Btw, I loved the ideas.
