My Favorite Poison
Arguably my favorite poison (for combat) is the readily available Canis Root, Imp Stool, and Mora Tapinella. The resulting poison is a deadly combination of lingering damage and paralysis.

“I’m sworn to carry your burdens.” Lydia said as you handed her another ancient Nord sword. Now where did those sweetrolls go? You rummage through your pack after a particularly harrowing battle against the barrow’s undead inhabitants. Victory against the undead still sweet in your mind, “…now all I need is something sweet in my mouth,“ you lament after reaching the bottom of your pack. “If only I had bothered to burden Lydia with food too.” Suddenly, your eyes lock in a hungry gaze…
Ok, so this is where I almost started writing fan fiction about the Dragonborn and Lydia and things went a little bit off the rails, especially after that whole sweetroll/sweet things in my mouth bit…
