Notes

Poison lowers the target's strength by two points and, if given sufficient time to do its work, completely ruins their mental state, dramatically reducing their ability to fight. You can keep track of how long someone has been poisoned by the descriptive echoes they give to the room. Full mental state deterioration is longer than the last of these, however, and is estimated to take 48 minutes of real time.

Stage Room Echo
1 <name> shivers and suffers.
2 <name> looks kind of out of it.
