Legends: Fun with Poisons From: dani@netcom.com (Dani Zweig) Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1992 05:51:01 +0000 Is poison always effective? I was wondering whether it would be practical to -- Create a force with a level-0 soldier in each front slot and one slightly better soldier in a reserve slot. -- Annoint a crossbow with Poison II and equip the reserve soldier with it. -- Attack that arch-demon's lair. The magic attack (if there is one) crisps one soldier. The special attack crisps another. Then, in the missile round, the crossbow hits the arch-demon, doing about one point of damage -- and poisoning him. The rest of the soldiers are then killed or flee. -- Four months later the arch-demon has succumbed to the poison and you come in and sweep away his corpse (and his treasure). I've got lots of belladon and lots of demons. ----- Dani Zweig dani@netcom.com "The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity." -- W.B. Yeats Referenced By Up
