Silent Weapons of the Black Mask

Our research into the venoms of the Lavastorm Mountains is proving to be most beneficial to the Houses of the Black Mask. Within this tome is documented our most important discoveries thus far. Hekzin of the Black Mask

The sap of the WHORE'S BANE, prized as a sedative by the residents of Najena, has proven to be useful when used to tire an opponent's body and mind. Two portions of the herb with a LINED POISON VIAL and CONSTRICT SUSPENSION is a sufficient dosage to get the upper hand on an opponent.

With a SEALED POISON VIAL, CONSTRICT SUSPENSION and two ground ASMAG WEEDs a venom is created that will have an adverse effect on the victim's respiratory system causing spasms and suffocation.

The ashen herb SOOT HEMLOCK when used in two parts with a SEALED POISON VIAL and CONSTRICT SUSPENSION lowers the efficiency of the victim's immune system.

With extensive research and experimentation three poisons have been developed that are effective against the matter that comprises elementals and similar summoned creatures. This is a good step in the defense of our house against any sorcerers who may decide to foolishly assault the House of the Black Mask.

For the weakest of summoned creatures a mixture of GROUND GARLIC and RED HELLEBORE with a LINED POISON VIAL and a SUSPENSION has proven to be effective.

For summoned creatures of a tougher material or magical composition a mixture of RED HELLEBORE, GROUND GARLIC, and PUTRID BILE with a SEALED POISON VIAL and CONSTRICT SUSPENSION may be necessary.

For the mightiest of summoned creatures the most potent mixture of PUTRID BILE, SOOT HEMLOCK, and RED HELLEBORE with a SEALED POISON VIAL and LARENT SUSPENSION is a must to ensure your opponent will suffer from the effects of the venom.

Perhaps through our further experimentations we may come across even more useful venoms with which to silently defend our position within the hierarchy of Neriak.
