Torture Tincture
Wondrous item, very rare
This two-inch-tall phial of oily liquid has a decidedly untrustworthy air to it. Using its bandage scarf, it can climb up any surface, before depositing a dose of poison in whatever vessel, meal, or concoction its wielder chooses. Stories say such a magical contraption was used to poison a king, the origin of the veinworm plague, who’d locked himself in a high tower.
As an action while you hold a Torture Tincture, you can speak the command phrase “Poison please”. This miniscule glass bottle creeps into life for the next minute. It is a tiny construct with AC 13, 10 hit points, a walking and climbing speed of 30 feet, a Strength of 1, a Dexterity of 20, proficiency in the Stealth skill (+ 7 modifier) immunity to poison and psychic damage, immunity to all conditions except grappled and restrained, and it can't attack. If it drops to 0 hit points, it smashes and can’t be used again. It contains one dose of the poison torpor and regains expended doses daily at dawn.
The torture tincture takes its turn immediately after the creature who summoned it. As part of the action to summon it, and as a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can command it to deposit a poison in a vessel, food, or drink. When the torture tincture is within touching distance of the specified location.
Uncommon variant: Replace the torpor poison with assassin’s blood.
Rare variant: Replace the torpor poison with crawler mucus.
