Stone Gullet of L'Phahl the Gross

Carnifex's picture
This unusual item came from an attempt to play a joke on a sorcerer's apprentice called L'Phahl, a well known glutton. At a meal, his wine goblet was filled with a potion of flesh to stone. However, the gastronomic young man consumed so much food and drink that the potion was diluted, and it was not until several hours later when he complained of a stomach ache that it was discovered that his stomach had turned to stone, though it was still capable of digesting food.

After his death, many years later, his stomach was removed as an oddity. It was discovered that ingesting it (it has the consistency of stale bread, though rather less taste) caused the stomach of the recipient to turn to stone, conferring certain advantages on them. The cycle is continued if their stomach is removed after their death. The properties of the stone gullet are an immunity to ingested poisons, +2 on saves versus all other types of poisons, and a damage resistance of 5 against acid.
