Haribo Beans

Your friends told you these were dangerous, but these colorful soft beans are pretty tasty. Why did they say there would be unexpected consequen... en.... oh god. .....OH GOD!

In the wild there is a breed of plant very similar to edamame, but its beans are brightly colored and almost jelly-like. These beans are said to be sweet and fruity, and very tasty. There is only one small problem: They are the most effective laxative in the world.

10 minutes after consumption, the cramps begin and involuntary and violent release will occur 1d10 minutes later. Release continues for Xd3 hours, where X is the number of beans consumed. Given their small size and delicious taste this can easily be many many many hours of suffering. The area of release is stained for a year and a day under a permanent vapor of toxic hate, causing nausea (Fort DC 15) for any inside it and 1d4 rounds afterward.

On the other hand it has a cleansing effect on the body. If taken while under the effect of a poison, secondary saves are negated (and ultimately expelled soon after), and if taken beforehand you gain a +5 alchemical bonus on saves against poison. There is no save against the release of liquid nightmares and suffering.

A few unfortunate adventurers sometimes have used it as a means to escape being swallowed whole, but it takes a while and they come out the wrong end so most choose to use the much quicker acting ipecac.

Haribo beans do not require a craft check or cooking of any sort, they are viable for consumption raw. Few would buy it, but a pod of haribo beans (containing 4 beans) costs 5 gp.
