Dagger of Venom

“Unleash Lethal Elegance: Dive into Darkness with the Dagger of Venom – A Poisonous Power That Strikes Swift and Silent!”

The Dagger of Venom is a masterfully crafted weapon, blending elegance with lethal efficiency. Its slender, double-edged blade is forged from an otherworldly alloy known as shadowsteel, giving it an obsidian hue that seems to absorb light rather than reflect it. The blade tapers to a wickedly sharp point, capable of effortlessly sliding between armor joints.

The hilt is a work of art, intricately adorned with coiling serpents in bas-relief. Crafted from a combination of darkened steel and a mysterious material resembling onyx, the hilt provides a comfortable yet secure grip. The serpents, with emerald-green eyes that glint ominously, seem to writhe and twist as if alive when the dagger is unsheathed.

Embedded within the pommel is a small compartment that houses a vial of an otherworldly venom, its deep green color shifting with an eerie luminescence. A carefully concealed mechanism allows the wielder to apply this venom to the blade with a subtle twist of the hilt, ensuring that the Dagger of Venom lives up to its name.

The crossguard, shaped like intertwined snake heads, serves both as a protective element and a testament to the serpent-themed craftsmanship. Hidden runes, etched discreetly along the blade, suggest an arcane purpose beyond the dagger’s apparent physical prowess.

Overall, the Dagger of Venom is a weapon that embodies a dark elegance, a fusion of supernatural craftsmanship and practical lethality. Its design and construction evoke a sense of mystery, hinting at the alchemical secrets and ancient inspirations that contributed to its creation.

This black +1 Dagger has a serrated edge.

It allows the wielder to use a poison effect (as the spell, save DC 14) upon a creature struck by the blade once per day. The wielder can decide to use the power after he has struck. Doing so is a free action, but the poison effect must be invoked in the same round that the Dagger strikes.
