Why did he want a slow-acting poison with a delayed onset? Naturally, Yu Lin Bloodhawk wanted as many centaurs as possible to drink it. If it took effect too quickly, the centaurs would soon notice, and the results would be far less impressive. They weren't stupid; they would quickly trace the problem to the water. A delayed onset, however, would make it much harder to detect.
Such a poison might have been difficult to obtain on Earth, but in Azeroth, a world of magic, magic could make many seemingly impossible things possible.
The officers carried out their orders quickly. In the past, almost no one in the High Elf Ranger Corps carried poison. But ever since the despicable, shameless Yu Lin Bloodhawk had appeared in this world, the High Elf rangers had witnessed its impressive results in several major battles. More and more rangers from Quel'Thalas had therefore begun treating various poisons as essential combat supplies. Their enthusiasm for using poison was even beginning to rival that of rogue class practitioners.
People took on the habits of those around them, and Yu Lin Bloodhawk's City Lord's Household Guard was a perfect example. They brought plenty of poison on every campaign, so much that Yu Lin Bloodhawk sometimes wondered whether these fellows intended to follow the rogues' path and leave the rogues nowhere to go.
Although the rangers under Yu Lin Bloodhawk had all developed the habit of carrying poison, most of what they brought was highly potent stuff-the kind that killed as soon as it entered the bloodstream. Paralytic poisons were the next most common. In short, most of their poisons took effect quickly; they generally carried very little slow-acting poison.
Yu Lin Bloodhawk wasn't particularly worried about that, however. With Old Charlatan's spellcasters here, making a few alterations shouldn't
