Dread Possibility cut from Gazetteer IV to accompany the entry of Vor Ziyden[1]
In 727 BC, workers at the Andaas Vineyards discovered a few splotchy mauve toadstools growing among the vines. The Corpsewort Toadstool usually grows only in the Tainted Wood, miles away; to this day, no one knows how the fungus was transplanted. The toadstools were quickly burned and the harvest completed. It was thought that no harm had been done, but years later, after the wine had been aged, bottled, and shipped across the Core, the truth came to light: At least three-fourths of the harvest was tainted with lethal spores. Andaas Brimbubbly ‘27 is now one of the most notorious vintages ever produced. Collectors pay outrageous prices for a sealed bottle, while other bottles have been implicated in several deaths. The Andaas family still employs agents to recover the remaining bottles, hoping to stem the damage done to their reputation.
Corpsewort spores infect living creatures as a disease: ingested or inhaled, DC 16, incubation 1 day, damage 1d4 temporary Constitution. Within 2d6 hours of infection, the victim begins to experience euphoric hallucinations (see Madness effects in the Ravenloft Player’s Handbook). The victim grows increasingly giddy and disorientated, both drawn to sound and motion and oblivious to her own worsening condition. Meanwhile, the fungus grows beneath the skin, slowly emerging as new toadstools. When the victim dies, the toadstools burst, spraying spores in a 20 ft. radius. All living creatures within this area risk exposure.
