Rot
Uncommon illicit substance
This black, tar-like liquid is harvested from undead creatures
by unscrupulous necromancers and dark priests. Essentially
distilled blood of an undead creature, Rot smells bad and
tastes worse.
The dark liquid, which is sold in small vials,
carry traces of the necromantic energy that fuels the undead,
allowing anyone to gain a brief taste of an undead creature's
numbed existence.
Despite it's foul nature, Rot is very
popular among street beggars and vagrants, who use it to
keep pain and hunger at bay.
Rot-users are easily recognizable by their grayish skin,
dead eyes and often ghastly smiles. Long-time users also
show signs of hair loss, decaying teeth and general muscle
atrophy.
Rot is also known as 'ghoul's blood' or 'grave drink'. Users
often refer to the consumption of rot as 'rotting' or
'gravecrawling'.
Dose. An ounce of dark liquid. A single dose of Rot costs
around 25 gp, while a small flask containing ten doses sells for 200gp
