*biting the end of her quill slightly, Cel wrote in her book of poisonwork*
"Today's experiment with poison ivy was moderately successful. I have established that when mixed with fennel leaves and rosehip, it makes a slightly bitter-tasting substance which can be ingested to produce fever like symptoms after a half hour, similar to many common influenza type virii. This could be used more successfully if I can eliminate the slight taste. However, it's strength lies in the fact that it won't affect those with food and drink tasters due to its slow onset...
Antidote"
*Cel underlines the word a few times and sighs with boredom*
*goes to her hiding place*
[OOC: no, this means you will not be able to walk in and just pick up this book]
*retrieves a large red hide bound book. Dips her pen in some fresh dye and starts writing*
"Ariadne seemed pleased with the cloven-hooved beast as a sacrifice. I am considering the ritual a success. For my next offering, I want to offer fire in a form. I am considering a pentagram of candles, each one scented with an individual poison and a bird creatures body in the middle to show I am dedicated to destroying the enemies of spiderkind. For the poisons, I want to use foxglove, belladonna, deathcap mushroom powder, arsenic mushroom powder and powdered addertongue. All of these should be easy to obtain locally except the addertongue. The addertongue may cause questions when I am purchasing it, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I am also going to ask the goddess in the ritual for help with Edward Deal. I need to be avenged for the cheap darkness powder trick. Revenge isn't a particular motive of Ariadne but I want her to make an exception."
*looks up and talks to a carving of a spider, possibly a religous relic*
My Goddess, my life, my mother, I love you and spend all my time planning this for you. Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you.
