target. This will rot the fang barrier defence and leave them with slick skin.


Clotting

providing you are not incapacited. Should you move, you will cease to block.

Description: WIPE <weapon>

With this ability, you may layer venoms on an edged weapon. Each time that weapon hits somebody, one venom will poison your opponent, and disappear from the weapon.

Venoms work on a last-on, first-off basis, so if you put xentio on a weapon, and then put voyria on,

the voyria would come off first, and the xentio second. You must possess a rag with the venom in 

order to apply it to a weapon.

In order to get rid of the venoms on a weapon, simply WIPE <weapon>.

Fling
Syntax: FLING <target>
Description: While mounted, you may ride up to someone and use the momentum of your steed with your own

supernatural strength to fling them into the air. This will either slam them into the ceiling above or send them sailing into the sky.

Description: In order to make yourself a comfy home beneath the ground, you must first purchase or obtain a

coffin. Then, you must bury it somewhere with soft soil, preferably somewhere that is unlikely to be disturbed or dug up. You may only have one coffin at a time.

Once you have buried your coffin, you can then entomb yourself within it, providing you stand within the same local area as your coffin. This will allow you to heal yourself or regenerate a new body much faster than earthmelding does. When you are ready to return to the land above, you can then rise.

To be able to use this ability, you must first have a buried coffin. Once you are standing atop it, you can link yourself to your coffin using your own blood.
