VENOM-GASH

reference

Also known as: VENOMGASH

OUTLANDER Class - [OLN] Venom Gash - Level 25 Venom Gash is the outlander's dirty cut. You drive a slashing or piercing blade in low, then rip it high and let whatever is on the steel spill into the wound. A successful Venom Gash tears your target open with a brutal opening hit. If they survive, a toxic curse takes hold, poisoning them over time as the venom works its way through their system and keeps the pain climbing. On stronger executions, extra follow up strikes can ride the same line, deepening the damage before the poison settles. Enemies already marked by Venom Gash cannot be opened again until the current toxin has burned through. The venom does not stay politely in one body. A heavy cut can throw a choking cloud across the room, splashing nearby foes as the reek rolls off the wound and into anyone standing too close to the outlander's work. Outlanders carrying a concealed firearm may finish the moment uglier. After a solid gash, the blade does its job while a hidden pistol ghosts into hand for a point blank gutshot, then vanishes back into concealment once the damage is done. Syntax: venomgash <target> Requires: Outlander (Prestige), slashing or piercing weapon wielded in your main hand; concealed pistol for the gutshot follow up Cost: skill recovery and standard attack tempo Limits: affects a single main target in your room; poison curse cannot stack, and the venom cloud can only splash those sharing the space when the cut lands
