Effects
- A more potent antivenom potion requires the drinker to imbibe less in order to cure poisons.
- Drinking a sufficient quantity of antivenom tea will cure the drinker of all poisons they are suffering from, including:
- Assassin manufactured poison that do not work instantanously, for instance Bloat and Achorion Purple.
- Poisoned apples.
- Giant spider venom.
- Scorpion sting.
- Spoiled or otherwise unhealthy foodstuff.
- The poisons that can be cured with antivenom usually cause stat damage, health points drain or both.
- The cure is instantaneous on drinking, the poison's effects cease to apply.
- It does not provide any protection against future poisoning - this is a cure, not a vaccine.
- A sufficient quantity must be drank in one go in order to get the effect - if it takes 3/100 of a bottle to cure, then drinking 2/100 twice will not work.
Hints
Ingredient 1:
Has a strong smell. Often used in italian cuisine and in southeast Asia. Called the king of herbs.
Ingredient 2:
An herbal tea can be made from it. An ingredient of absinthe. It has yellow flowers.
Ingredient 3:
An arthropod. Slightly squished is the preferred state. Too many legs. Definitely not the giant kind.
Solvent:
Has covalent bonds in its molecular structure. Exists thanks to hydrogen bonds. It has bifurcated and over-coordinated hydrogen bonds.
Ethel Applebaum says:
The order you put the ingredients in the vessel matters! Ethel Applebaum exclaims: You know, if you take a spider, grind it up well, and make a tea of it with basil and another herb - oh, dang I forget the name - it makes a powerful poison antidote!
