Drown the unbelievers in a sea of blood!
Henzell says...
  1. A type of poison that will slow you, poison you, and do large impact damage (called asphyxiation). To avoid it you can use eXamine to avoid being in any dart-equipped creature's line of fire for too long. Poison resistance prevents the poisoning and asphyxiation, as well as the slowing (being undead will too).
  2. According to ogaz, you should carry curare around with you so that you can forget to use it and then feel like an idiot when you die.
