Cat Weezle!

WEEZLE (#28/30, #272/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a short, succulent plant consisting of a solitary rosette of broad white-green leaves tipped with spines and a central clump of yellow flowers.

Distribution: Plains, hills and wilderness across southern Allansia.

 

Effects: The leaves of the Weezle plant can be ground down to create Weezle Juice. One plant provides enough juice for one bottle. In extremely small doses it is often used as a food additive to improve flavour. The bitter, acidic nature of Weezle Juice makes it very useful against certain creatures. For adventurers it is best used against Giant Leeches and their ilk; if sprinkled on them, it will causes the revolting creatures to shrivel up and die. A tiny tincture of it will also restore any ability drains inflicted by an Energy Leech. A bottle of Weezle Juice can also be thrown as an improvised weapon against Giant Slugs, Snails and Gluggs, against which it is extremely effective. If the bottle hits, it will shatter on impact, causing 1-6 STAMINA damage, plus 1-6 STAMINA damage per Attack Round to these molluscan creatures as the Weezle Juice burns through their jelly-like bodies. These amounts of damage are doubled if the Weezle Juice is ingested by the creature, for example, by throwing an open bottle down a Giant Slug's mouth, or emptying a bottle's contents inside a Glugg if one has been unfortunately swallowed by the monster.

 

Cost: City 4gp, Town 6gp, Village 8gp (per bottle)

 

Availability: Common

 

Further Notes: Anyone foolish enough to drink an entire bottle of Weezle Juice must lose 1-3 STAMINA points due to the stomach cramps caused by its highly acidic nature.
