Return of the Yellow Mould...

YELLOW PLAGUE MOULD (#22/31, #22/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is an infestation of tiny pale yellow spots that coat every available surface within a room or chamber.

Distribution: Dungeons, ruins and caves across Titan.

 

Effects: The mould gives off toxic and disease ridden spores, long accumulated through its life cycle in the dungeon. Anyone who spends more than a minute in a chamber with an infestation of Yellow Plague Mould, must Test their Luck or contract the disease. Yellow Plague is an affliction that can be contracted by spending time in cold, dampl places. The plague clogs up the lungs with mucus, making it difficult to breathe. Any physical action a victim undertakes (fighting, swimming, etc.) suffers a -2 penalty. In addition, the plague saps its victim of 3 STAMINA points per day, until a cure is found or they succumb to death. The plague can be cured with the Heal priestly power or by drinking a healing potion (Potion of Stamina, Blimberry Juice, etc.).

 

Cost: Not available to buy

Further Notes: The Yellow Plague Mould is related to regular Yellow Mould (see The Titan Herbal, p. 73). It has been recorded from the dungeons beneath the Black Tower (see Citadel of Chaos, p. 19).
