Healers often use plaguemasks[1] when battling outbreaks of disease, but hunters may also find them useful when breathing the foul air of a long-sealed tomb. A plaguemask is a close-fitting leather hood fitted with a long, conical “nose,” making the wearer look like some kind of bizarre bird. (Indeed, doctors working in plague-ridden areas are often called “carrion crows” due to this resemblance.) The wearer sees through large eyeholes covered in thick glass. The plaguemask is stuffed with a quarter-pound of aromatic and medicinal herbs, which shield the wearer from contaminated vapors. These fresh herbs must be replaced each day. Hunters should be aware, however, that wearing a plaguemask will greatly impair their hearing and vision.
