Thank you so much for your reply! It’s extremely helpful and points out the weak points in my idea.

My biggest issue is that I need some sort of slow-working poison so the characters can get to a specific place and back for the antidote.

I was planning for the victim to have some permanent damage from the poison, specifically, paralysis of his right hand. That correlates to the symptoms of a neurotoxin, but that acts quickly, especially in doses that only require it to be administered once.

The barest minimum of the stuff I need for the plot is the permanent paralysis, and that it works slowly.

Hmmm…. maybe I could somehow make it possible that the assassin administers lower doses over a longer period of time…. Hmm, I’ll be thinking about this!

Fun little fact, cyanide isn’t just produced for killing people. Apart from cyanide derivatives used in the manufacture of plastics, one of its primary economic purposes is actually the processing of silver and gold ore, as it is one of the few substances capable of dissolving those minerals selectively.

Seems almost poetic. One of the most fatal substances ever discovered is also used to produce wealth.

Oooh, I didn’t know that! That’s the coolest thing!

Thank you so much for the help! I hope you have the best of success with your exams!
