Serpent's Tongue is the guaranteed first sacrifice gift for necromancers in SLASH'EM. It does a fair bit of damage, and even more to non-poison-resistant enemies[1]:

  • 40% chance of 2 + d6 damage
  • 30% chance of 4 + 2d6 damage
  • 20% chance of 6 + 3d6 damage
  • 10% chance of poison instadeath.

Note that this artifact does not provide poison-resistance!
