Help: Poison
Poison
==================
A sip of contaminated water, an encounter with a venomous creature, or
the knavery of a despicable cultist are but some of the things which
can cause poisoning.
Poisoned characters will find that their natural healing has stopped
and that they instead lose health over time. A few poisons exist that
cause other special effects, such as petrification and the loss of
spellpoints and endurance.
Poison may eventually wear off on its own, but may cause considerable
damage before this happens. Experienced adventurers are quick to seek
out a healer or curative sauna when they feel poison enter their veins.
