Out and about, killing poor orcs with my poison filled weapon. I have not poured any poison into the weapon from the poisons available from the cart in the Park. I have not added any poison to the weapon since it has had some from years back. The poison in use has been in the weapon for years.

I hadn't noticed this over the past couple of days because when I'd see "is no longer poisoned." message I would TOUCH my falcata and it would coat the weapon in poison again.

The message came up after I moved on to another orc, but I let it be until I killed it. However, I still got the messaging for the poison flare going off. I looked at the falcata and it showed:

>l at my fal
A small stud is imbedded into the base of the vultite falcata.

It doesn't show the weapon is coated in poison....

I measured the falcata to see if it still had doses left in it, and it does:

>measure my fal
Glancing carefully at the falcata, you see it has 5 doses remaining within.

I went out after a few more orcs to see if the odd issue persisted, and it did. I hunted down another 5-6 orcs and the weapon was still flaring. However, I cannot confirm that the weapon is actually causing any harm to the target, but it is nonetheless, showing flaring messages when there is no poison coating the weapon.

This is how the weapon appears when it's covered in poison:
>l at my fal
A small stud is imbedded into the base of the vultite falcata. The vultite falcata is covered in foul-smelling murky umber oil.

You notice that the vultite falcata is no longer poisoned .

I'm going to play around more and see if the issue continues after re-coating the weapon and going through all the flares from the dose.

Finally ran out of poison in the weapon:

>l at my fal
A small stud is imbedded into the base of the vultite falcata.
>measure my fal
Glancing carefully at the falcata, you see it has nothing contained within.

However, the weapon is still flaring

You notice that the reservoir of poison in the vultite falcata is empty .

You swing a sweeping vultite falcata at a greater burrow orc!

AS: +134 vs DS: +53 with AvD: +34 + d100 roll: +51 = +166

Mighty blow cracks several ribs.

A spray of a noxious toxin flies from your vultite falcata bathing the burrow orc in a vile substance!

The remaining oil drips off of your falcata.

Roundtime: 5 sec.

I stood around the orc for a few minutes and it's AS did not decrease nor did it just fall over and die. It's not bleeding, only has a couple of minor wounds. After a couple of minutes, the orc's AS went from +118 to +128. So it doesn't appear that the poison flares without having poison in the weapon is causing continued damage to them, but the flares are happening (not sure if the initial flare causes any damage) and there is one flare that will knock the target over.

The weapon flares without any poison in it at all, but I'm not sure if the flares cause any damage or not.
