POISON: HOOLOOND

A variety of osssra oil, the creations of yuan-ti spellcasters, osssra oils are mixtures of substances that produce pungent, colourful smoke when burned.

Yuan-ti typically immerse small pieces of firewood in osssra oil for 1D4 days and then burn them to create the smoke. A single vial of oil can treat enough wood to fill a 50-foot-square room with smoke for at least 4 hours. If ignited directly, the smoke fills the same area, but lasts for only 5 rounds. Once ignited by either method, osssra oil emits a cloudof coloured smoke that moves outward from itssource as a spread at the rate of 1 foot per round, to a maximum diameter of 60 feet. Osssra smoke is heavily scented, but it does not cause coughing, choking, or any other effect associated with tainted or insufficient air. The smoke has the same effect of a Fog Cloud spell (caster level 10th).

The secrets of making osssra oil is guarded by yuan-ti tribal elders, and most humans know too little about them to distinguish one oil from another. In some large cities or ports where there is little scrutiny from authorities, merchants often sell osssra oil as 'cooking oils' or 'scents'.

Varieties of osssra oil exist, and these varieties have their own qualities individual to them. Some confer benefits on all Scaled Ones but functions as an inhaled poison for all other creatures. In some cases direct contact with the oil in either ignited or unignited form is necessary to reeive the benefit. Varieties of osssra oil include: Amasstarte, Battasss, Duthlah'hass, Ektharisss, Faele, Hooloond, Jalasss, Laerisss, Ruusstantar, and Ulathlasss. Although some effects resemble those of spells, they are not magical effects. Thus, they can not be dispelled or prevented by spell resistance.

This oil generates a yellow-green smokeshot through with momentary jets of red smoke thta resemble licks of flame. The scent of hooloond smoke is often likened to the minty smellof fresh-cut jungle vines or melons, though it is much stronger. Hooloond oil contains the blood of a constrictor snake and the venom of a viper.

At least 3 minutes of continuous contact with hooloond smoke heals a Scaled One of 1D4+2 points of damage. An individual can gain this benefit twelve times in swift succession if opportunity permits, but the smoke will not affect that particular reptile again for a full 24hours after its last healing. Yuan-ti often plan their battlesso that they can fight in continuous contact with hooloond smoke (for example, inside asmoke cloud or smoke-filled room). Doing so allows them to receive this healing automatically every 3 minutes.
