Bug Powder Dust

Powdered Creature (#27/31, #241/365) [EA:V2] (Potion)

This is a stoppered glass tube full of coloured powder. When the tube is opened and the powder mixed with water, such as poured into a bucket or emptied into a glass, there will be a furious bubbling and the powder will transform into a monster that will immediately attack the nearest opponent, regardless of who they are. See the table at the end of this entry to determine the type of creature. The colour of the powder is determined by the creature type, so a Silver Dragon will be a tube of icy blue powder, whereas a Mammoth will be reddish-brown powder for example.

If two or more Powdered Creatures are poured into the same water source this will just create two or more individual creatures, not some weird mutant combination. However, if only a fraction of the powder is used, the creature's scores will be reduced as follows:

Amount of Powder used SKILL STAMINA Damage Modifier

Three-quarters  75% 75% -1

Half 50% 50% -2

A quarter 25% 25% -3

Note the original Damage Modifier is reduced by the amount listed; so if the creature had a Damage Modifier of +1, and only half the powder was used, its new Damage Modifier would be +1 -2 = -1 to the Damage Roll. The remaining powder can be used to create a separate creature from a different water source with the appropriate scores depending on the amount of powder leftover.

Powdered Creatures were first created by the Riddling Reaver, using refinements to his arcane Particle Blender machine, to reduce creatures to a concentrated form. Over the years, wandering adventurers have repeatedly broken into the Riddling Reaver's laboratories and stolen some Powdered Creatures, or meddling enchanters have devised their own recipes, and thus these tubes of coloured powder occasionally turn up elsewhere. The below selection of creatures represents those that the Riddling Reaver has successfully created; the Director may course decide to add their own favourites to this collection.

Dust of Teleportation (#28/31, #242/365) [EA:V2] (Potion)

This is a small phial of red dust. When sprinkled on the floor, smoke will rise up and the user will vanish, experiencing a feeling of spinning in a black void. Seconds later they will re-materialize 10-60 metres away in a random empty space. If they know the properties of the dust beforehand, they can choose where to teleport to, as long as it is within 60 metres and currently empty of matter. The dust is poisonous and anyone foolish enough to eat it loses 2 STAMINA points.
