Mamma mia, it’sa miasma!

D6This miasma looks like
1smoke and sputum hacked up from dying lungs.
2arthritically curled, vapourous fingers.
3black dust wafting in a stale breeze.
4nothing on its own, but it distorts things within it as though you’re seeing them out of the corner of your eye in the dark.
5a purple haze.
6droplets of bile suspended mid-air.
D6This miasma smells like
1a child who’s soiled themself in fear.
2blood turning septic in your nostrils.
3sunbaked sewage.
4sickly-sweet rot.
5the sea and spent gunpowder.
6the floor of an adult theatre that’s never been cleaned.
D6This miasma gathers
1where witches dance and sing the praises of their malefic masters.
2where the unforgiven dead are left to rot without ceremony.
3where the walls of the world are punctured and infected.
4when an airy spirit is killed and falls to earth.
5near the secret shrines of plague-gods.
6where hell itself boils over.
D6This miasma inflicts
1Hallucinations, delusions, befuddlement of the senses.
2Shakes, swelling, and vertigo.
3Fatigue, weakness, lingering insomnia.
4Creeping necrosis.
5Headaches, forgetfulness, emotional volatility, and mental regression.
6Expulsions of waste from every orifice, sweating that reeks with impurities.
D6This miasma can be dispersed
1by censers burning sweet incense.
2by silver bells ringing in the correct tones.
3like mist by the light of the rising sun, though it will return when night falls once more.
4by the crowing of a white cockerel.
5by the abjurations of a saint, or the presence of anything blessed by the same.
6by the wind, but only after its source has been rectified.
D6This miasma can be collected
1like drops of dew on nets woven from nettle, and distilled into unwholesome toxins.
2in human bone-china jars, which can then be lobbed like grenades.
3into the body of a necromantic creation, which can then exhale it in terrible plumes.
4in alchemical vessels and congealed into a substance that will inure those who drink it against all miasmas.
5by certain species of fungus, which fixate it into the soil like bacteria might with nitrogen.
6and alloyed with iron to make desecrated steel.
