==Description==
The basilisk is a great, fearsome lizard with dusky midnight-blue scales. Four powerful legs ending in brutal hooked claws keep it perched low to the ground, making it fast despite its large size.

Foreboding coils of smoke rise from its nostrils, snaking off into the air.

===Area Information===
The lesser dusky-scaled basilisk lives in murky caverns beneath the [[Zaulfung]]. The entire area is full of water and requires swimming.

===Equipment/Loot===
Basilisk fangs can be {{com|shape|shaped}} into [[Shaping_products#Fletching|arrowheads]] or [[Tinkering_products#Boltmaking|boltheads]].

It is wearing nothing!

}}
__NOTOC__

==Description==
A feral being of pure shadow essence, this beast vaguely resembles a canine with greatly exaggerated features. Its massive maw bears several tusk-size fangs that hook downward, gleaming with unadulterated malice. Its eyes blaze with an unearthly silver flame, casting a pale glow upon the area and highlighting its sinuous, muscular body. Tendrils of inky black mist trail behind it as it moves, dancing lazily from its nostrils.

==In Depth==
Will rarely drop a {{cloot|w|curved pristine silver fang}} when killed. 
''A greater shadow hound whispers its last raspy yelp as its stark silver eyes wink out of existence amidst its cloak of shadows. One of the hound's huge silver fangs snaps off as the beast crashes to the ground.''

===Special Attack===
Will occasionally release a looming shadowy cloud that will inflict [[Damage#Disease|Fleshrot]] on anyone in the room not shielded by [[Protection from Evil]]. The fog can drift to other rooms.

===Area Info===
The entire area is swamp so you will get wading roundtimes while moving - stalking is impossible. A [[Giant Skeletal Claw]] sometimes appears and will attempt to grab and crush you. Protection from Evil will protect against the claw.

===Experience===
At 385 weapons, these still lock in under 15 minutes. The [[Greater Sluagh]] in the same area is slowing down before these.

Roundtime

2021-08-09T11:33:41Z

RABB: per the google sheet on TALK, the equarion shown was wrong. i updated it.

{{RTOC}}'''Roundtime''' is the in-game term for the activity lockout timer that is incurred when certain actions are performed. Some actions will always incur a roundtime, such as swinging a weapon in combat or perceiving mana streams; some actions will never incur a roundtime (roleplaying verbs etc) and others may or may not incur roundtime depending on the player's skill and success in performing the action (climbing, tending wounds etc). Additionally, some actions may only be taken when the player is not under roundtime and others may be taken whether in roundtime or not.

During roundtime an adventurer is vulnerable to attack since he or she can not properly retaliate or escape until the roundtime has elapsed.

Frequently abbreviated as '''RT'''.

== Melee Weapon Roundtimes ==
There are multiple variables that go into determine the Roundtime of any given weapon:
# Weapon class (light/medium/heavy/twohanded)
# Balance and Suitedness of the weapon (see [[Appraisal_skill#Weapons|appraisal]] to convert appraisal text to number form)
# Strength and Agility of the individual
 

The closest equation to express this relationship is:
::Effective Strength = ((Strength x Suitedness) + (Agility x Balance)) / (Suitedness + Balance)
 
See the [[Talk:Roundtime#Effective_Strength_vs_Weapon_Weight_Charts|TALK page]] for some charts with common weapon weights and expected RTs based upon one's Effective Strength.
=== Minimum Roundtimes for Melee Weapons per Attack Type ===
# Edged and blunt weapons share identical roundtimes for any given weight of weapon.
# Special abilities may allow certain guilds to attain RTs below the minimum.
# Numerous kinds of attacks share the same roundtimes as well:
::* JAB and FEINT share a roundtime
::* DRAW is a unique attack
::* SLICE, SWING, THRUST, SLAM and PUMMEL all share a roundtime
::* CHOP, BASH, LUNGE and SWEEP all share a roundtime
