Asphalt: Difference between revisions

{{name|caps}} is a sticky liquid that is common in the {{favilink|asphalt mines}} and in [[tarry biome]]s. Items that are covered in asphalt or contain it are {{qud text|&Ktarry}} or {{qud text|&Ktarred}}. When cooked, it grants effects related to forced movement. Walking on asphalt causes a creature to make a strength and agility [[save]] of difficulty 24 or a diminishing return based on the total volume of the asphalt. 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. It weighs 0.5 lbs per dram.

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 will deal {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|1d6}} damage and {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|1d6}} more for every 10% of the mixture that is asphalt. For example, 1 dram of pure asphalt will deal {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|11d6}} , 50% asphalt will be  {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|6d6}} (temperature is unaffected). There is no damage taken if poured on something, although a creature covered in asphalt may become stuck.

Doing so does not influence [[Thirst|hydration]] in any way.

 

* Plentiful in the {{Favilink|Asphalt Mines}} and [[tarry biome]]s

* {{favilink|asphalt weep|plural}} and {{favilink|giant asphalt weep|plural}}, which can be found in [[fungal biomes]], the {{favilink|rainbow wood}}, [[historic sites]], or occasionally in other locations. In a fungal biome, the {{favilink|dandy cap|plural}} and {{favilink|spotted shagspook|plural}} around asphalt weeps will be {{qud text|&Kgrey|notxml}} or {{qud text|&kblack|notxml}} in color.

 

Cooking with {{name}} will always grant the same basic effect, which is +6 to saves vs. Move, Knockdown, Knockback, and Restraint. Refer to [[Save#Movement-Related_Saves|movement-related saves]] for more info.
