Description
Mesmerizing Incense is a supernatural substance stored in blocks within the yuan-ti temple’s storeroom. When lit, a single block produces a hazy cloud that fills a 20-foot-diameter sphere and moves with the block.
Properties
The incense creates a powerful psychoactive effect on those who breathe it:
- Effect: Creatures starting their turn in the cloud must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or fall into a dreamlike stupor laced with nightmarish visions
- Condition: Affected creatures remain awake but become poisoned
- Duration: The poisoned condition persists for 1 hour after leaving the cloud
- Vulnerability: Even yuan-ti are susceptible to this effect, making it unusual among temple hazards
- Removal: The effect can be ended early with lesser restoration or similar magic
Location
The incense is found in the storeroom of the Fane of the Night Serpent, sealed in a case containing ten blocks. The storeroom also holds various mundane supplies including cloth, bronze bars, salt, spices, and equipment sufficient to assemble five explorer’s packs.
