FLUIDCACHE CONSUME <cauldron> | |||
|detail = To begin preparing adhesive toxins, you must first have access to a preservation room, | |||
have a chunk of hardened plant sap and inks to use as a base, and a cauldron to house the resultant | |||
final product in. | |||
First you must COLLECT yourself some toxic plants from any forest room, which will be enough for | |||
one mixture of toxic material. Each toxin will also require a specific amount of inks, which will | |||
depend on the toxin you are trying to make. Once you have these two ingredients, you can then begin | |||
to PREPARE your toxin, which will create the mixture in short order. Each batch will contain enough | |||
toxin to FILL three vials. | |||
There are two layers which can be adhered to a target's body with one toxin application needed to | |||
create a single layer. The first layer, when ignited, will burn slowly and heat up over time, | |||
causing a negative effect on the target until it finishes burning. Once the first layer burns away, | |||
the second layer will ignite in a powerful reaction. This reaction is short lived and lasts little | |||
more then a couple seconds, but is generally more powerful. | |||

Cold burn effect (12 cycles): | |||
Flammable toxins will scorch the lungs with heated fumes periodically, dealing fire damage. | |||
Hot burn effect: | |||
The toxin will combust in a tower of horrific flames, burning the unfortunate victim coated in it. | |||
The less health they have when it activates, the more damage they will take. | |||

{{Anchor|Coagulating}} | |||
{{Skill_detail | |||
|skill = Coagulating | |||
|description = A toxin that coagulates amidst heat | |||
|syntax = | |||
|detail = | |||
Unlike others in its classification, this toxin emits no heat or fumes when burnt. However, it will | |||
quickly harden and form a tough shell, making movement difficult. In ancient times of the first | |||
Executors, this toxin was employed to restrict the movement of arms at the wrist, ensuring somatic | |||
spellcasting could not proceed. | |||
Cold burn effect (8 cycles): | |||
A tough shell will begin to form, reducing the target's ability to dodge and divert while it burns. | |||
It will also improve accuracy against the target by 10%. | |||
Hot burn effect: | |||
The toxin will rapidly harden into a solid state, forming a shell that will hinder movement for a | |||
few seconds before breaking away. | |||

{{Anchor|Hallucinatory}} | |||
{{Skill_detail | |||
|skill = Hallucinatory | |||
|description = A deadly neurological toxin | |||
|syntax = | |||
|detail = | |||
This slick toxin produces powerful fumes when ignited, causing harmful effects to those that inhale | |||
it. As it reaches high temperature, the fumes become powerfully toxic to a weakened mind. Large | |||
swathes of this toxin were often employed to disable Ankyrean renegades, ensuring their destructive | |||
magics did not obliterate teams of Executors trailing them. | |||
Cold burn effect (9 cycles): | |||
If the opponent is suffering from dizziness, then the fumes will cause the faintness affliction. | |||
Hot burn effect: | |||
The toxin will release powerful toxic fumes as it burns away, stunning the target for a time based | |||
on each euphoriant cured affliction they have yet to heal. | |||
|cooldown = | |||
|target = | |||

{{Anchor|Adhesive}} | |||
{{Skill_detail | |||
|skill = Adhesive | |||
|description = An oily toxin that melds to and scalds flesh | |||
|syntax = | |||
|detail = | |||
Highly viscuous in nature and slow to burn, adhesive toxins will reveal minute motions of the | |||
target through its smoky fumes. It has been known to deeply char the skin once it reaches high | |||
temperatures. The Executors of old would often employ this toxin in an attempt to hamper the | |||
intense healing capabilities of their demigod adversaries, though records as to its effectiveness | |||
look to be scoured away by the sands of time. | |||
Cold burn effect (14 cycles): | |||
The smoky fumes will reveal which limb the target shifts their parry to. | |||
Hot burn effect: | |||
Burns the skin deeply, giving the burnt skin affliction making poultices useless until cured. | |||

{{Anchor|Choking}} | |||
{{Skill_detail | |||
|skill = Choking | |||
|description = A toxin that exacerbates physiological response | |||
|syntax = | |||
|detail = | |||
This strangulating toxin is a potent chemical that releases a thick, choking smoke as it burns. The | |||
smog will cause an irritant that will agitate the effects of allergies, increasing its potency | |||
while the resin remains. At higher temperatures where it reaches a vapor point, it will completely | |||
knock out the senses. Combined with large sources of fire, Executors often employed this toxin to | |||
create a narrow window of opportunity to assassinate their marks in one fell swoop before grand | |||
arcana could be turned upon them. | |||
Cold burn effect (10 cycles): | |||
The tarry smoke will give the target allergies. If they have allergies, then it will increase its | |||
severity by one stack. | |||
Hot burn effect: | |||
Induces a short-lived blackout in the target. | |||

{{Anchor|Septic}} | |||
{{Skill_detail | |||
|skill = Septic | |||
|description = A fast-acting, deadly toxin | |||
|syntax = | |||
|detail = | |||
This toxin possesses a uniquely low melting point, ensuring that it will liquify and seep into any | |||
open wounds on the target while burning and react with left over traces of venom. Though their | |||
marks were resilient demigods, ancient Executors employed this toxin in hopes of outlasting and | |||
overwhelming their foes. | |||
Cold burn effect (8 cycles): | |||
The target will take increasing poison damage, proportional to the amount of venom afflictions | |||
present. | |||
Hot burn effect: | |||
For each venom affliction present on the target, they will become afflicted with an instance of | |||
loki. It won't give afflictions the target already has. | |||

{{Anchor|Paralytic}} | |||
{{Skill_detail | |||
|skill = Paralytic | |||
|description = A toxin that heightens paralytic process | |||
|syntax = | |||
|detail = | |||
Though this toxin possesses a saccharine scent, the fumes from the concoction are known to induce a | |||
muscle-clenching physiological reaction in those that breathe them in. As the toxin climbs in | |||
temperature, the fumes can begin to mess with the target's mind. Swift to combust into conflagrant | |||
potency, Executors trusted this toxin to hamper the complex gestures and intense focus necessary | |||
for their mark's spellcasting. | |||
Cold burn effect (6 cycles): | |||
Reduces the time of paresis to transform into paralysis by half. | |||
Hot burn effect: | |||
Powerful fumes will leave the target with paresis, impatience, and confusion. | |||
If they already have paresis, it will give heartflutter instead. | |||
If they have impatience, it will give hallucinations instead. | |||
If they have confusion, it will give stupidity instead. | |||

Toxins | Prepare toxins from ink and plantlife distillate | |
Syntax: | TOXIN PREPARE <type> IN <cauldron> COLLECT SAP FILL <vial> FROM <cauldron>
FLUIDCACHE CONSUME <cauldron> | |
Details: | To begin preparing adhesive toxins, you must first have access to a preservation room,
have a chunk of hardened plant sap and inks to use as a base, and a cauldron to house the resultant final product in. First you must COLLECT yourself some toxic plants from any forest room, which will be enough for one mixture of toxic material. Each toxin will also require a specific amount of inks, which will depend on the toxin you are trying to make. Once you have these two ingredients, you can then begin to PREPARE your toxin, which will create the mixture in short order. Each batch will contain enough toxin to FILL three vials. There are two layers which can be adhered to a target's body with one toxin application needed to create a single layer. The first layer, when ignited, will burn slowly and heat up over time, causing a negative effect on the target until it finishes burning. Once the first layer burns away, the second layer will ignite in a powerful reaction. This reaction is short lived and lasts little more then a couple seconds, but is generally more powerful. For each toxin, you can view their corresponding help file (AB SUBVERSION <toxin>) to find out more. |
Flammable | A sticky, flammable toxin with explosive potential | |
Syntax: | ||
Required: | Inks: 3 red | |
Details: | A basic toxin taught to all beginners, the flammable toxin is well known for being able to burn for
long periods of time, gaining intensity the longer it is alight. This was especially effective for burning down settlements or charring away all evidence from the scene of a crime. Cold burn effect (12 cycles): Flammable toxins will scorch the lungs with heated fumes periodically, dealing fire damage. Hot burn effect: The toxin will combust in a tower of horrific flames, burning the unfortunate victim coated in it. The less health they have when it activates, the more damage they will take. |
Coagulating | A toxin that coagulates amidst heat | |
Syntax: | ||
Required: | Inks: 2 purple, 1 blue | |
Details: | Unlike others in its classification, this toxin emits no heat or fumes when burnt. However, it will
quickly harden and form a tough shell, making movement difficult. In ancient times of the first Executors, this toxin was employed to restrict the movement of arms at the wrist, ensuring somatic spellcasting could not proceed. Cold burn effect (8 cycles): A tough shell will begin to form, reducing the target's ability to dodge and divert while it burns. It will also improve accuracy against the target by 10%. Hot burn effect: The toxin will rapidly harden into a solid state, forming a shell that will hinder movement for a few seconds before breaking away. |
Hallucinatory | A deadly neurological toxin | |
Syntax: | ||
Required: | Inks: 3 yellow | |
Details: | This slick toxin produces powerful fumes when ignited, causing harmful effects to those that inhale
it. As it reaches high temperature, the fumes become powerfully toxic to a weakened mind. Large swathes of this toxin were often employed to disable Ankyrean renegades, ensuring their destructive magics did not obliterate teams of Executors trailing them. Cold burn effect (9 cycles): If the opponent is suffering from dizziness, then the fumes will cause the faintness affliction. Hot burn effect: The toxin will release powerful toxic fumes as it burns away, stunning the target for a time based on each euphoriant cured affliction they have yet to heal. |
Adhesive | An oily toxin that melds to and scalds flesh | |
Syntax: | ||
Required: | Inks: 3 blue | |
Details: | Highly viscuous in nature and slow to burn, adhesive toxins will reveal minute motions of the
target through its smoky fumes. It has been known to deeply char the skin once it reaches high temperatures. The Executors of old would often employ this toxin in an attempt to hamper the intense healing capabilities of their demigod adversaries, though records as to its effectiveness look to be scoured away by the sands of time. Cold burn effect (14 cycles): The smoky fumes will reveal which limb the target shifts their parry to. Hot burn effect: Burns the skin deeply, giving the burnt skin affliction making poultices useless until cured. |
Choking | A toxin that exacerbates physiological response | |
Syntax: | ||
Required: | Inks: 2 red, 1 yellow | |
Details: | This strangulating toxin is a potent chemical that releases a thick, choking smoke as it burns. The
smog will cause an irritant that will agitate the effects of allergies, increasing its potency while the resin remains. At higher temperatures where it reaches a vapor point, it will completely knock out the senses. Combined with large sources of fire, Executors often employed this toxin to create a narrow window of opportunity to assassinate their marks in one fell swoop before grand arcana could be turned upon them. Cold burn effect (10 cycles): The tarry smoke will give the target allergies. If they have allergies, then it will increase its severity by one stack. Hot burn effect: Induces a short-lived blackout in the target. |
Septic | A fast-acting, deadly toxin | |
Syntax: | ||
Required: | Inks: 1 green, 2 yellow | |
Details: | This toxin possesses a uniquely low melting point, ensuring that it will liquify and seep into any
open wounds on the target while burning and react with left over traces of venom. Though their marks were resilient demigods, ancient Executors employed this toxin in hopes of outlasting and overwhelming their foes. Cold burn effect (8 cycles): The target will take increasing poison damage, proportional to the amount of venom afflictions present. Hot burn effect: For each venom affliction present on the target, they will become afflicted with an instance of loki. It won't give afflictions the target already has. |
Paralytic | A toxin that heightens paralytic process | |
Syntax: | ||
Required: | Inks: 2 red 1 purple | |
Details: | Though this toxin possesses a saccharine scent, the fumes from the concoction are known to induce a
muscle-clenching physiological reaction in those that breathe them in. As the toxin climbs in temperature, the fumes can begin to mess with the target's mind. Swift to combust into conflagrant potency, Executors trusted this toxin to hamper the complex gestures and intense focus necessary for their mark's spellcasting. Cold burn effect (6 cycles): Reduces the time of paresis to transform into paralysis by half. Hot burn effect: Powerful fumes will leave the target with paresis, impatience, and confusion. If they already have paresis, it will give heartflutter instead. If they have impatience, it will give hallucinations instead. If they have confusion, it will give stupidity instead. |
