Blackfeather Woods the watcher

Nightshade was a particularly strong herb and while its potence was much less dried as it was, Cicero knew to warn Kendra about it: "It is better not to get to the point where it needs to be fought against. It is a tough one to ward off." One could always try, of course, but the problem with poisons — or, in his case, good thing about them — was that one couldn't really simply ward them off. One could ease the pain, but that was about as close as one could get to a solution to it. Ward off pain and hope that it was not potent a poison enough to kill one. "Relieving pain is possible, but there is no herb that neutralises it, as with most poisons." Well, that he knew of, anyway. Cicero never excluded the possibility that there were yet remedies as well as poisons out there that he knew nothing about.

As for the symptoms, he realised that he had forgot to mention them and tacked on: "Aches in stomach and head, problems with balance and sight and knowing what is real and not real. Vomiting, of course, but vomit comes with most poisons, for the body will try to expell whatever part of the poisons it can, even if it is often too late. And, of course, death, eventually. But to achieve such a thing one would need to make a wolf eat a lot of this, and there are better suitors for such a task. Nightshade is somewhat infamous, most wolves with little knowledge of poisons know of nightshade." It seemed that Cicero had never talked as much as he did now in his life, or so it felt to him. He added: "Cicero would choose a herb or mushroom that looks much alike a good herb or mushroom, with differences so slight that the victim will not notice."
