Startled Stag

The Startled Stag was a strange cursed stag statue created sometime before the late 14 century DR.

Description
The Startled Stag was a, two-and-a-half feet tall, bronze statue that depicted a terrified stag. The statue was hollowed on the inside and hid a bottle or a similar receptacle. The bottle's neck with the stopper could be accessed between the stag's shoulder blades.

Powers
If anyone were to remove the stopper from between the stag's shoulder blades, a clear, odorless gas escaped the bottle. The only evidence of the gas was its sulfurus taste of rotten eggs. The gas affected every breathing creature within ten to forty minutes, freezing them in place. This paralysis lasted for a period of time between one and twenty days.

History
The Startled Stag was one of the more unique items available from the Misti's Moonlight Pawnshop in the Living City, Raven's Bluff, run by Misti Morgan, a proprietor of the establishment and a thief, in the late 14 century DR.
