I recall a Nazgulfight long time ago.
Some became poisoned and that poison was really nasty and it had a long long effect time.
"exa poisons"
This command or a similar one, not sure exactly, worked fine for some reason and you could count the number of poisons which often at Nazgul or Deamonlord in Emerald could count up to plenty (15 was not rare in the Emerald mine).
Those days CON gave a lot more hitpoints so fights lasted longer than today (maybe todays size of players even out) but having many poisons dropped health badly.
So death was lurking, unless...
Unless you took the boat to Re Albi (Cadu) and went to the wishing well where you can drop coins in the well.
But "drop poison in well" also worked fine. :)
