Appearance: Adder's-tongue has one
large leaf, at the base of which rises a thin
stalk covered with tiny bumps or knobs; on
closer inspection, this stalk is seen to be a
spike of tiny, yellowish-green flowers.

Location: Adder's-tongue grows in moist
meadows and shady clearings. It is most
easily found in late spring.

Uses: This herb is used as a secondary
treatment, to help wounded characters
regain strength. Use four fresh leaves
steeped in boiling water to make a potent
tea which can be drunk three times a day.
This helps reduce inflammation associated
with wounds, and restores strength. Also,
an ointment can be made by boiling the
cut-up leaves in hog's fat and then straining
out the sediment. This ointment is soothing
and promotes rapid healing, so much so
that it has been called the "green oil of
charity."

Game effect: A character recuperating
from injuries normally receives one hit
point per day of rest. However, convalescing
with the aid of adder's-tongue will
allow a wounded character to regain 1-3 hit
points per day (roll separately each day).
Using the ointment made from adder?stongue
will restore 1-2 HP immediately
per application, but it can only be
administered to the same character once a
day.
