Name Beggars Poison
Form Ingested Liquid
Onset 30 seconds
Duration Until purged
Ingredients 1 abscess root, 1 spider venom, 3 fluid
Cost 6 work units
Key words Poison / Destructive
Description This poison can be added to any normal drink. The poisoner must remain within sight of the drink to facilitate its effects, or request a referee to remain. If the drink is left unattended, the poison is assumed to have lost effectiveness.


Thirty seconds after drinking, if they have not resisted the poison (e.g. with Resist Poison), the imbiber will become incapacitated and must begin their death count.

The poison must be purged or treated by an antidote for the victim to recover.

Note: This poison does not inflict any damage; the imbiber is not mortally wounded, and once the poison is purged, they recover with no loss of physical hits.
