Poisoned apples are bright red apples which are poisonous.

Acquisition

Poisoned apples can be found in a basket in the kitchen of the Gingerbread cottage, as well as bought from several locations.

Application

Particularly unobservant players may accidentally eat a poisoned apple, however, the usual cause of poisoned apple consumption is by a witch forcing someone to eat one using the tempt command.

Effects

Poisioned apples take up to a minute to have an effect. They then cause:

• A loss of 5 points of constitution.
• A loss of 2 points of dexterity.
• Loss of hit points^research at irregular intervals.
• Vomiting and sweating, which can bring a player out of hiding.

Note that, although they do hit point damage, poisoned apples are incapable of killing a player outright; they will instead bring them down to at worst 1 hp.

Recovery

The poison eventually wears off, after a time period dependent on how much of the apple (or how many apples) was eaten^research. Alternately, a player can drink antivenom to cure themself immediately.
