[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8263552, member: 7030144"] Session 42 (October 21, 2008) 31 O-Kas To-do list: Check out throne Respond to report from skyship in the south about the traitor army Get report from the further searches re: the Privy Secretary Salt stuff Conference with the Sea Elf at Simbolisi Decide what to do with the prisoners from Korflok Ping Kit’s agent in Debonai Added: meeting with Dame Constance The council receives three messages (attached). We start looking at the salt issue. We sent people to buy salt at whatever exchange we could buy at. We found that at Hanal, they were bought out, and the futures were exorbitant. Since the letter doesn’t name the merchant, it’s impossible to tell if the merchant is someone specifically working for us. We discuss sending a response back, probably in drowan. There are about a half-dozen total binary poisons—almost all are used exclusively by the dark elves. (In theory, the illithid have one, but effects on surface dwellers are unknown.) We call for the Sixth Daughter. She estimates this would have cost about 1000 gold on the surface. Based on the months of activity, it must be purehh—an extract from certain mushrooms, harmless unless added to a cave eel’s blood. Would kill about 9 out of 10 humans, but 19 out of 20 drow. I have seen it used twice; the deaths were among the least pleasant I have seen. The cave eel’s ichor would also be very expensive. It would have to be purchased, dried, and applied to a different food supply. They would have to enter it into another type of food commonly consumed. Dried mushrooms or the like. (We clarify that would be wheat or flour, which would result in spoiling in reactions in bread) The ichor would run about 2000 gold. Once dried and powered, it is stable, and could be stored for a couple of years. Kit—how is it destroyed? If put in water or alcohol, its potency is reduced, and it could be disposed of safely. Can we track them through the money? How many merchants sell this poison? One or two per city among the rebel drow; less among those who follow the Noldar, because it is forbidden There is a slight taste to the primary agent; the activating agent is all but impossible to detect. An alchemist specifically looking for it has a chance, but once it is distributed, unlikely. We ask Mahler to figure out who bought a lot of salt in Enclaves two days ago. We also ask the Sixth Daughter to look into this. Dame Brionna also asks her to look into how the fae can breach our defenses. She says she’ll look into it. Alistair says to not harm any of the resident fae. Which investigation takes precedence? The poison. [cont'd] [/QUOTE]
