Renux's Translations

I finished translating most
of the first of the combine
scrolls discovered by one of
Carson McCabe's citizens.
As I suspected, the scrolls
contain recipes for several
poisons from the age of the
Combine Empire.
I have provided a brief
translation of those recipes. 
Poisons That Blind

A blend of one part COYOTE
TAIL and one ASP POISON SACK
with a LINED POISON VIAL and
SUSPENSION will make an
enemy's eyes grow swollen
and sore causing temporary
blindness.

A more painful and longer 
lasting blinding poison is
created with a blend of two
parts COYOTE TAIL and a bit
of MUDDITE MUD with a LINED
POISON VIAL and CONSTRICT
SUSPENSION.

Poisons That Cripple

The saps of the THORNY ERGOT
and the DELPHINIUM plants
when blended with a LINED 
POISON VIAL and CONSTRICT
SUSPENSION will cause great
pain in a person's back making
movement difficult.

By blending two parts
DELPHINIUM and a BASILISK EYE
STALK with a LINED POISON
VIAL and CONSTRICT SUSPENSION
a victim will be temporarily
paralyzed as if their legs
had turned to stone. 

The pulp of two ALOCASIA ROOT
with a LINED POISON VIAL and
CONSTRICT SUSPENSION will
absorb moisture from muscle
tissue causing temporary
atrophy.

The extract of two WOLVES
BANES with a SEALED POISON
VIAL and LARENT SUSPENSION
will cause a much more 
drastic atrophy of
the muscles.

A blend of one part each of THORNY
ERGOT, GELSEMIUM ROOT, and
WOLVES BANE with a SEALED
POISON VIAL and CONSTRICT
SUSPENSION will attack the
nervous system of the victim
making them slow to react to
stimuli around them.
 
Poisons That Can Kill

The sap of two parts LACTERA
with a LINED POISON VIAL and
CONSTRICT SUSPENSION will
thin the blood of the victim
causing a painful burning in
the bloodstream and often
results in death.

Two parts WHITE HELLEBORE
with a SEALED POISON VIAL and 
LARENT SUSPENSION will create
a poison that will attack the
blood and brain of the victim.
Although the brain is numb to
most of the pain this one
is quite deadly.
