***Cobra Venom*** Application: Contact (eyes) or Injected
Potency: 75
Resistance: Endurance
Onset time: Instant if spat in eyes, 1d6+4 minutes if bitten Duration: 1d3+3 days
Conditions: If spat into the eyes both Agony and Blindness (Close Combat at Herculean difficulty) are instant, lasting the entire duration. Bitten victims also begin with Agony but can struggle along until 1d6+6 hours after the bite when Asphyxiation strikes, usually resulting in death, unless First Aid is successfully applied to keep the victim breathing. Survivors will then suffer Necrosis, losing 1 Hit Point per day from the location bitten, until the venom is somehow purged or it naturally ends. Mythras pg 76
***Ghoul Sepsis*** Potency 80%, onset 1d3 hours, intensive care in hospital like conditions functions as antidote 50% of time
***Giant Spider poison*** POT = Endurance. Acts 1d6 rounds after injection (during which time the spider either retreats or maintains its grip) and paralyses the victim if not resisted. Paralysis lasts for a number of hours equal to one quarter of the spider’s CON. Each hour after the initial poisoning, the victim loses 1 Hit Point from every location as his insides begin to liquefy. This continues until the victim is dead.

Conditions: Agony, then Necrosis, losing 1 Hit Point per day from the location bitten, until the venom is purged or its effect ends. Mythic Babylon pg 250
***Scorpion poison*** It acts on the next round after injection and inflicts Agony on the location. After a further hour the venom slowly breaks down the tissue, causing the location to additionally lose 1 Hit Point per hour, which normally results in the loss of the limb (or death of the victim if head or torso) unless the poison is success- fully treated.
