[QUOTE="Feathercircle, post: 1076120, member: 11266"] [b]As promised, fungus-y goodness[/b] Congratulations on your wedding, BOZ! Here's the two long ones I mentioned. Dragon 234 Many liches have investigated and experimented with yellow mold to greate extent, developing [I]potions of yellow mold distillate[/I] . These potions are extracts from yellow mold spores, suspended in liquid and mutated to have extremely fast-acting effects when they come into contact with living or once-living flesh. As expected, the distillate is a cloudy yellow color, often with clots of gray-green or milky white substances floating in the mixture. When a [I]potion of yellow mold distillate[/I] is quaffed, the drinker's flesh and organs are transformed into yellow mold in the space of a single round [nota bene- this is in 2nd edition timing, not 3rd], exploding into a 10' cloud of spores the following round. No saving throw is allowed; the drinker perishes instantly, collapsing into a pile of bones, and those caught within the cloud must save vs. poison or die themselves. As liches are found in varying states of decay, those that still retain a layer of mummified, leathery skin are able to drink the [I]potion of yellow mold distillate[/I] themselves, transforming their remaining skin into a deadly clou]d of spores..... The success of [I]potions of yellow mold distillate[/I] have encouraged at least one lich to investigate the possibility of a [I]potion of phycomid distillate[/I] , Tod date, such a substance has eluded him, but it's surely only a matter of time- and time is one thing liches have plenty of. Dragon 298 ...In addition, drow alchemists harvest and render the fungus down to a base substance capable of reproducing the shrieker's howl. Shriek paste is an oily, smelly substance with a slightly purplish color. When smeared on a surface, it retains the same consistancy almost indefinitely. When the paste is exposed to a light sorce equivalent to torchlight or greater, it rapidly crystallizes. During this process, the paste makes a high-pitched screeching noisy, making it a useful signalling device. The shriek is loud and easy to hear (Listen DC -10, modified as usual for distance, solid barriers, and other environmental factors.) This sound lasts for 1 round before the paste dries up entirely and is rendered useless. Since I go off to college tomorrow, I'm going to try to get as much done as I possibly can today, so I'll most likely be posting again later. I hope none of the rest of them are this long, though. ^^;;;; [/QUOTE]
