Escape a Predator's Stomach

Do you really need to draw mass to re-grow when you are shrunken by magic and the effect wears off?

Unless your body has the full mass of when you were a giant and an absurd density (In which case the Predator would likely know something wasn't right when the 6ft being weighed several tons), you'll need mass from somewhere to grow. Laws of Conservation of Mass, and all that.

If a Dridder can sting you and make you small, you can probably have something on hand that "un-stings" you and makes you big. BTW your mass doesn't have to increase, just your volume.

Id try and do something that was cause the pred to throw up although im not sure what would have that affect.If that doesnt work I could resort the the handy dandy samurai sword/ can opener!

Even better to use that on her hands before/as she's grabbing you.

Nothing says "go away!" like chopping fingers off with a Light Saber...

Because as my motto goes, the best way to escape a predator's stomach is not to be there to begin with.

My character's way of survival involves a bit of suffering... He has to accept his fate as being food, digesting alive as the pred's nourishment, but is able to reform, as good as new, a few moments later. The magic that allows this comes from outside the pred, so magic proof stomachs can't prevent his reformation.

Of course, that, and his other abilities, don not prevent him from being food, so it's still not much of a defense. The predators, smart as they are, would probably see him as a self replenishing food supply.

I think there's a Felarya story somewhere around about an elf woman who is Vivian's friend who has the same ability. A fairy keeps finding her and eating her over and over again...

Since this is starting to get more and more attention on the forum: Not "How do you avoid being eaten," nor "How do you avoid getting caught," but "How do you escape a Predator's Stomach."

The means can be anything one would expect from an original character, canon fictional one (Felaryan or otherwise), etc. However, to keep it interesting, try to come up with something that doesn't involve either creating a new Felaryan item OR a being of near God-like powers.

For example of "How to escape a Predator's Stomach":
Have ready a contingency spell that instantly teleports you 100 yards upward (While also casting Featherfall) the moment you hit any sort of Acidic liquids.

Might want to change that a bit, since there are acidic liquids outside a predator's stomach. X_X
Walk into some toxic waste or something, *Fizzle* *pop* Instant-Death fall, unless you have another loop hole ready. XD

My character would have a knife ready, and would be able to channel energy through it to put it at a point that it's only slightly less powerful than a lightsaber. A teleport wouldn't work for him because it's only to locations in his line of sight. Now...if I had one of those crystals...lets just say that predator would be dead in a few moments after it swallowed.

Hmm...how does one get out of a predator's stomach? Well, if someone has a few bottles of Ipecac, all they have to do is take out a bottle, and pour it's contents onto the stomach floor, and then they'll be vomited out. If they're eaten by the predator again, they can just take out another bottle and do it again. At that point, the predator will probably give up and find someone or something else to eat, but in case they're extremely persistent, that's why they have another bottle to use.

I have four ideas.

1. Teleportation Magic. The cheap way of escaping.

2. Wind Magic. Basically just creating gale force winds and get the pred to burp you up.

3. Poisons. Basically using materials of some sort that to the pred are poisonous in hopes of getting puked up.

4. Survive Digestion. Basically use some type of magic to create a shield that protects you from the acid and just wait.

all the magic required to help you get out of a predators stomach i would think would be VERY hard to learn.

in all likely events. you dont get out. you're screwed. SCREWED I TELL YOU!! *goes off screaming and gets eaten*

teleportation all the way - by means of science and technology --- what will science and technology be like magic centuries from now???

There's something to think about

Is magic really "magic" or is it super advanced technology, physics and science that could be understood SOMEHOW?

magic will always be magic.

never question uncle.

Technically, if you understand why and how magic works, it can't reasonably be called magic. Clarke's Third Law.

I discovered another way to escape a pred's belly! Waterlogging. Basically just using water magic to get so much water in a predator's stomach it becomes waterlogged and pukes carrying you along with the water.

you obviously didn't get the joke >.>

actually, understanding magic just helps you use it better. magic is the elemental force to which one utilizes a supernatural ability. knowing more or less about it wont change anything.

Uh, no. "Magic" means a force or action that goes against the laws of science. If science can explain something, it's not magic.

To quote Terry Pratchett: "Magic is just a way of saying 'I don't know'."

um...not really...
if you use mana to lob a fireball from your hand then it's magic, whether or not you know how it works.

Yes! I have inspired RUTHLESS to the death debate... *tears up* I'm... so... proud...

ok you've been eaten... Not much to work with there, most Felaryan predators can negate you using magic in their belly, so that's out the window (not all do though, so you can try teleporting out, but chances are it will fail.) Many can digest through the strongest of armor, so a solid steel anti-acid bubble won't work either. Their gut is also extremely durable, making it so it will be difficult for you to blast your way out unless you have some extremely sharp objects (it's not invincible after all) In my opinion your best bet is one of 3 options.
1. use the aformentioned extremely sharp object to cut your way out, but be prepared to get in a fight with a very irate pred who now has a massive gash in them.
2. force a sphincter open in the stomach and crawl out, you can either try going up the throat, which will be very hard as the throat is designed to keep food in the stomach, not help it get back up out. Or you can go down south, which is probably easier to do, but it's a really disgusting option and you will be showering for weeks and visiting your local therapist for weeks as well to get yourself clean of that ordeal, and will probably wish you had just died inside as well.
3. Carry a ton of stuff like Ipecac or some other toxic substance that will force the pred to puke, then when you are out try convincing the pred their puking was because you are extremely poisonous so that way they won't eat you again, and there is also the chance they will tell other preds about you, therefore increasing your survival chances substantially

Best bet is obviously option 3

Hmm... how to escape?

Quicklime sounds like a perfect irritant. Failing that... CONCENTRATED BLEACH! A gulp of bleach will pour your guts on the outside, what would a full bottle do to a predator? Then again, mostly everything that's been posted here would work.

Except for one thing: each would work only once, because after that no one would want to hear about it ever again! I'd be okay with a guy cutting open ONE naga from the inside with a lightsaber, but if he tried that again, the next time I'd rather stomach won. I'm okay with people escaping from stomaches, but each escape has to be unique, different, and more satisfying than reading about the same guy getting digested! Felarya is about vore, not bulimia.

Well, I have one that could probably make it out okay... Then again, he's a sentient tapeworm-thing, so he biologically needs to be eaten at least once...

Has anyone ever thought of a grenade, past the sphincter? gut bustin is one way, but im pretty sure everything after that has to hurt... included that past the stomach, the radius needed is A LOT smaller...

or, cutting your way out is one thing, but Ive never been a person of slicing through layers of skin and other things t end up getting smashed afterward.... but I'm pretty sure a good Negotiation is just as good if not better....

hmmm? what you've never talked your way out of a stomach? not hard when you also have a knife blade sticking from their stomach walls near one of the openings...

trying to cut through a predators stomach is like trying to cut a waterfall with a sheet of paper.

Nice...

And true. Almost all adventurers carry at least a knife and few predators care to strip their prey... therefore, if knives were okay, more adventurers would be able to escape than actually do, which, given that to even consider going here, they would have to be confident in their skills and thus at least sufficiently not stupid, wouldn't make sense.

very true as well... but no one ever said a good stick of a blade in the side of a sphincter wouldn't hurt...

umh don't know if anyone suggested something like that:
A suit fully covered with layers of water and fat repellent substances should work unless the acids have some magic proprerties or the predator has already developed some enzyme that can decompose the subustances you are using(really bad luck )

I agree on the teleportation if we are speaking about wizard(my favorite kind of character in all rpg or mmorpg ) and if this spell is not in his repertory another thing to try is to create a large amount of water to make you reach the top of the stomach and tickle heavly the entrance this might couse vomit (like when you eat to much and being to full u vomit).
If it doesn't do the trick it would make you buy time reducing the acid concentration and try something else. If you are able to withstand high pression (expert sub ) there is the chance that creating so much water the entrance of the stomach would be forced and the wiz would get out from the same side he got in^^.

Other speel to could be useful like materializing magic blade or some really strong poison.
I wouldn't recommend fire since the close space might make you get burned to.

Just some idea. I'm still new here soo i don't know really well what of all this is possible speaking about felarians stomach^^
