Eshin operatives often use these simple lacquered tubes, Blowguns, to fire poisoned darts. Usually about a foot to three feet in length, one end is fitted with a flexible cup crafted from leather that fits over the mouth of the firer. While the damage inflicted by blowgun darts is negligible, the tips are often coated with virulent poisons.[1a]
When not using them as weapons, Clan Eshin’s Assassins have been known to use their blowguns as snorkels as they hide beneath the placid surface of a pond, lake, or stream.[1a]
