This powerful poison,
greatly prized by drow nobles for
assasination, is also known as *Elash
Elghinn*, "Silent Death", after the venomous water serpent of the same
name.
The venom takes effect immediatelty,
causing damage to the
victim's blood vessels and causing dramatic
and extensive hemorrhaging. Within minutes, the victim will gush blood
from his mouth,eyes, nose
and ears. He will have time to develop
bruises all over his body
before he mercifully dies. Drow find
death caused by this
venom to be particularly entertaining.
However, there are certain
individuals who seem to be immune to
*Belbol d'Elghinn*, and
upon whom it has no effect at all. However,
when it does work it causes a spectacular (if regrettably short) show.
