*In the same distinctive, angular hand as before...*

The more common poisons aren't meant to be lethal, merely to make a given target weaker or more frail, so that they are easier to kill through conventional means. Rarely will a thoroughly-weakened goblin, for example, turn tail and run. Or an ogre. Or an orc. The list goes on.

I do not oppose poison use in general; it is merely another weapon to use. But never mistake that it is a weapon as surely as a morningstar or longsword.

The gods may watch over some, but those good people who are smiled upon merely for being good are few enough and far enough between that you are more likely to be eaten by a Baalor in Hlint than be saved from an angry mob by the grace of some deity.

I grow tired of finding these advertisements.
