Poison Nodule

Wondrous Item Rare

This tiny pod is six inches long and as thick around as a man’s thumb. The nodule is a dull black, with fine green traceries. The Poison Nodule attaches itself with a leech-like mouth in the general area of users liver.   Once a day, the user can imbibe a small amount of poison (a vial of poison). The Poison Nodule will filter the poison out of the users blood. After consumed the Poison Nodule can be squeezed to emit one of four different types of poison. Roll a d4 and consult the following table to what each poison does. Each poison is a gel suitable for coating weapons and is consumed after a successful attack.
