Effect

• To throw a Stink Bomb, treat it as a Misc. Object Thrown Weapon Type having StN of 1 (see Weapon Tables in Armoury)
• They detonate in 1 sec when broken by impact on a hard surface or >0 DAM inflicted (e.g. by a crossbow bolt) on them.  The stinking fluid splashes out over the point of impact, causing a Stech effect in a 10ft Radius, which will deter most Animals, People and Monsters.
• Stench lasts for (d6+9) min (but leaves a foul smell for a lot longer): Beings in Radius with Sm (other than Skunks) must make st @ BTS 48% (20-Sm) vs Nauseated and st @ BTS 12% (20-Sm) vs Sickened.  Beings within 3 * Radius must make st @ BTS 24% (20-Sm) vs Nauseated and st @ BTS 12% (20-Sm) vs Sickened.  Repeat sts every sec if not affected.  Orcs get an extra +5% to st.  Nauseated Beings are unable to Fight, Thieve or Cast Spells for d6 MR and can only move out of Radius.  Sickened Beings take -2/10% on all modifiers for d6 min.
• If exploded in an area being Thievishly Scented: DL10, falling to DL of d6 after 10-15 min, and then decaying at -1 to DL per Cd.  Reverse these DLs for Scenting a Quarry who has been in the Radius of an Alchemical Stink Bomb when it exploded and has then moved outside the Radius.  E.g.  if the Quarry explodes a Stink Bomb on himself, then for the next (9+d6) min he is DL+10 to Scent within the Radius, but DL-10 to Scent within the Radius.
• The continuing effect lasts for d6 Cds as above, but can be removed by the Quarry thoroughly bathing and washing his clothes and possessions.
