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.
