Regarding Zzonga... it does affect non-spellcasters, too. And while it has a distinctive smell, it tastes delicious. The victims might not know, initially, what they are eating, either, if they have no prior exposure to it. It is less believable that no one would smell a rat when the favorite gladiator starts giggling and drops his sword at the start of the fight... although I guess if we assume that it would take a moment to kick in, maybe the actual drugged phase is relatively short, and the grigginess can be chalked to getting their bell rung or something... Still, it is a bit of a stretch.
The "Rakensis" part of Defnorakensis may stem from the same root of Rachel, a name of Semitic origin. "Osteo" on the other ha means "bone" in Latin, it's still used in medicine, think of Osteopathy. But probably I'm just reading too much in those names.
Wow ... when some of the names stump a native speaker, it is obvious the writers were pulling things out of a nether region.
*deep breath*

Beware of the man with a bakeish disposition.
Thanks for the surprise lesson in Greek or Helensis I think he said.
Well I must say an impromptu lesson on Greek by your artist was quite unexpected

"Osteropolis"? What like a portmanteau of osteo and metropolis? "City of Bones"?

Looking forward to DDA3. As it happens, I commented on an older video of 10 worst adventure modules about it earlier today...
Anyone else get Mr. Crowley vibes from that intro?

-ensis means "of" or "from" in Latin. e.g. lutensis = from the mud (not to be confused with Lutetensis = from Paris)
