Campaign Notes


INVISIBILITY:: Gives invisibility for 1 hour. Requires two fresh human eyes (SP100), two small emeralds (SP150 each), SP194 common ingredients, and 8 weeks. Costs SP1500.
FEAR:: When ingested or breathed from a gas bomb, this potion makes its victim into a total coward for a number of minutes equal to 20 minus his ST. Requires one sabertooth tusk (SP20), plus SP45 in common ingredients and 2 weeks. Costs SP150.
FLIGHT:: Works exactly like the Flight spell, with no ST cost to take off but 1 ST lost for every turn you fly; effects last for 1 hour. Requires 5 bats (SP10 each), one gargoyle gallbladder (SP50), SP555 in common ingredients, and 6 weeks. Costs SP1200.
HEALING:: Each dose cures 1 hit of damage or restores 1 ST lost through spell-casting or other fatigue. CANNOT restore lost limbs or raise the dead. Requires SP107 common materials and 1 week. Costs SP150.
UNIVERSAL SOLVENT:: This potion comes in two parts; one is customarily kept in a black vial and one in a white one. Individually, they have no effect. Combined, they produce a cloud of gas which INSTANTLY eats everything in an area 1 Megahex around, and about 1 meter straight down and 2 straight up. The cloud then vanishes. By using only one drop of each type (there are 20 drops in a vial), smaller areas - like door-locks - can be dissolved. However, the Solvent is VERY dangerous. Whenever a character uses it a drop at a time, in any way, he must make a 3/DX roll to avoid spilling more. Anyone who spills the Solvent is GONE. Any other character in range when the two vials combine must make a 5/DX roll to jump out of the way, because the effect is so sudden. Solvent is good for many things - eating doors, killing dragons, cutting bridges - but it is ALWAYS risky to use it. Each part of the Solvent must be made individually, using the same ingredients and time. Each component requires 50 grams dragons' dung (SP100), 20 grams jewel dust (SP400), and SP610 in common ingredients, takes 8 weeks to complete, and costs SP2,000.

CONTACT POISON:: This magical poison can be placed on anything; it will last until touched, and then will do 2 dice damage to the being that touched it. It then vanishes.
