asphalt

asphalt is a sticky liquid that is common in the Asphalt Mines and in tarry biomes. Items that are covered in asphalt or contain it are tarry or tarred. When cooked, it grants effects related to forced movement. Walking on asphalt causes a creature to make a strength and agility save of difficulty 10 + Drams/100 * 5. A failed save causes the creature to become stuck for a maximum of 12 turns with a strength difficulty save of 10* Drams/100 every turn to break free.

Unlike most other liquids, it is a hot liquid. Pouring it on something will not decrease its temperature. Drinking it will increase the imbiber's temperature by 500, and deal ♥1d61-6 (Avg: 3.5) damage for every dram they consume. There is no damage taken if poured on something, although a creature covered in asphalt may become stuck.

Cooking with Asphalt
