Poisoned! Taking 5 damage per round. Dissipating 1 per round.

I've gotten plenty of bad rolls before and never had that happen. Is this new?

[Bobmuhthol]

No.

[Stunseed]

It just means your forage was so bad, they had to let you know you suck. With Nature's Touch and Foraging on, I've gotten that bad of a score and not been poisoned.

[Drew]

It was weird, because the previous roll was a -80 and nothing happened...

[Drew]

As long as we are on topic, anyone know where to forage for ephlox moss in the landing or Icemule (even though I think all I've ever found in mule is tundra grass)? I'd like to know, I have a good bead on everything else I need.


Edit: Found some

[Coastal Cliffs, Cemetery]
The strange song of the Sirenflower is more distinct and more eerie here. Tree branches, heavy with the old growth and dripping with vines, seem to bend over in mourning. You also see a northwest path and a northeast trail that slopes steeply down.
Obvious paths: southwest

Poison from searching won't affect your next attempts, but if you've experienced hand minor pin-pricks, although not as taxing on HPs, it will deter foraging.

Im told you can get ephlox moss in cockatrices, although have never tested that myself

[Latrinsorm]

You can get ephlox moss at the Briar Patch entrance to kobolds, if you don't want to truck all the way to wherever that place is in Coastal Cliffs.
