Vessel of Deadly Venoms

Wondrous item, rare

This small jug weighs 5 pounds and has a ceramic snake coiled around it. You can use an action to command the vessel to produce one of three types of poison, which pours from the mouth of the snake.

• The word “blade” yields a dose of serpent venom, enough to coat a single weapon.
• The word “consume” creates a dose of assassin’s blood, an ingested poison.
• The word “spit” produces a stream of poison that is expelled at a creature of your choice within 30 feet. The target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 2d8 poison damage and is poisoned until the end of its next turn. On a success, the target takes half the damage and isn’t poisoned.

Poisons created by the vessel must be used within 1 hour or they become inert. Once you have used the vessel, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Different versions of the vessel containing other standard poisons may exist, at the GM’s discretion.
