Activate 1 (manipulate)


The primary ingredient of this chalky, plain-tasting blue gruel is the memory-altering cytillesh fungus so prized by deros. Hryngars favor toiler's gruel as a primary source of food for their captives, for those who ingest it are robbed of their memories and grow more compliant. Toiler's gruel resets its maximum duration if ingested by a creature already under its effects. Subsequent exposure makes the memory loss of stage 3 cumulative.

Saving Throw DC 19 Fortitude

Maximum Duration 3 days

Stage 1 Stupefied 1 (10 minutes)

Stage 2 stupefied 1, and memories of the previous hour are forever eliminated from the victim's consciousness (1 hour)

Stage 3 stupefied 1, and the mold dulls memories of the previous day, forcing the victim to make a DC 19 Will save to recall all but the most simple and routine events during that period (1 day)
