Poison Pen, the Foul Verdict, is a flail carried by Braius Doomseed that sprays a black, poisonous ichor.

Description[]

Appearance[]

Poison Pen is a massive dual-balled spiked flail mace that drips black liquid.[4]

When Braius Doomseed got a critical hit on an Exaltant, killing him while using one of the mace's poison charges, the Exaltant's blood turned black as he died.[5]

Properties[]

The flail is a +2 weapon.[3] On a hit, in addition to the normal 1d8 flail damage, the weapon can do an additional 3d8 poison damage utilizing limited charges[1] by spraying out a black ichor[6] with which Braius was able to create an image of the symbol of Asmodeus, the deity he followed.[7] In addition, the target is slowed until the next round[8] and takes 1d6 poison damage at the start of each of their turns.[9] The flail holds at least 2 charges.[10]

Braius can optionally use the handle of the weapon to stab with its pointed end.[11]

History[]

Braius had the weapon when he was discovered by Bells Hells hiding in a closet in the fallen ruined city of Aeor.[12]
