You'll remember me when the west wind moves across the fields of Siff-Saff...

SIFF-SAFF (#9/30, #100/365) [TTHA]

Appearance: This is a barley-like grass, with long green leaves, and tufted yellow spikelet-flowers, full of seeds, arranged in a distinctive herring-bone pattern.

 

Distribution: Plains and wilderness across Titan.

 

Effects: The seeds of Siff-Saff can be harvested as grain, but their taste is poor compared to wheat and barley, and the plant is generally grown only by the poorest of farmers. If the seeds are collected before they ripen, they can be ground down into a yellow paste that smells disgustingly of rotten eggs. A jar of Siff-Saff Paste functions as a primitive cure-all, and will restore 1-3 STAMINA points of damage if applied and rubbed into a wound.

 

(Siff-Saff Paste should on no account be eaten; anyone foolish enough to do so will find their mouth become so numb it is difficult to swallow, while a burning sensation forms in their stomach, causing 2 STAMINA points of damage.)

 

Cost: City 5gp, Town 4gp, Village 3gp (per jar)

 

Availability: Uncommon
