"It was all too easy, not a single weapon was drawn before we disabled the lot of them. The Matron would surely tear the flesh from my back if she heard me say this, but I daresay next time I will leave the poison off just so I can get some practice in."
——Dan'rol Azkornen, Drow Noble

Description

Drow Sleep Poison appears as an extremely dark purple dust that, when ingested or injected into the bloodstream will spread quickly to the victim's brain, imparting signals that they are extraordinarily tired. Shortly after, the subject will drift into a deep slumber for up to an hour. The poison is made from the spores of a common and toxic Fungi known as the Ur'uhal Mushroom found in Subterranean environs.

Lore

Drow Sleep Poison is named for the humanoids notorious for its use. As the mushroom that generates the poison is fairly common, it was only a matter of time before the sinister and deceptive Drow made us of its properties. Entire battles have been won without a single noise, save the clicking of several crossbows firing in unison. The Drow prefer to tip their projectiles with the stuff and disable the enemy from afar before closing in for the kill. This method is also useful for collecting slaves to be sold at the markets deep within their dark and hauntingly beautiful cities.
