Simple math and some geometry tells us that the chamber is 75 feet high. 
Big bounce.

No problem there, except that it is abuse of a corpse.

The problem here is that the AM should have changed the colors around or
changed the powers of the pills.

The cave troll or the player?  If the player, I think he has a problem. 
Or maybe he is just immature.

The AM should not have allowed it to happen.  Or, the player should have
gotten royally sick and/or died from it.  Again, immaturity.

He ate the rock or the giant?  Assuming the giant, the character should
have been stopped by the other LightRaiders or received some discipline
from the AM.  Cannibal.  LightRaiders should not glory in evil deeds.

Silliness all around.  Sounds like you have a problem with the AM not
keeping control or counseling the players so that they gain some
real-life maturity.  This sound like it is being run as an RPG with
little or no discipleship going on.


>Anybody else out there have things like this happen?

Not to that extreme.

In LRT, my character Azariah grabbed the rope ladder from the roof hole
in the underground glade.  Later in MoonBridge, he took an alligator's
tail, made some jerky out of the meat, then a carrying bag for the rope
ladder.  Yup, he still has it.
