Fun fact: Unless you have a cut somewhere along the way, snake venom generally isn't poisonous to ingest. I mean, yeah, don't try this at home, but the venom has to go pretty directly into the bloodstream to work. The other poisons will have been the classic Mithridatism (of course named after the king), but the snake venom makes for a good party trick because it looks impressive without actually being all that dangerous.

Sometimes poison resistance only works for small amounts. So eating a whole cup of a given poison that one has built a resistance to for a teaspoon at most can still be lethal. It's possible that he didn't want to risk it not working and being incapacitated but still alive and able to recover when the Romans busted the door open to take him prisoner. Boudica took a step further by ordering her attendants to also dismember and hide her body so Rome would have no trophy at all.

Tom Patterson Realistically, the NPCs would likely strive to increase the supply if a product as profitable as black powder was suddenly being bought en masse. Which could also cause them to start actively advertising the surplus, inspiring many new customers to what was originally a niche item. That character could actually kick-start the rise of black powder, causing it to be researched and eventually used for various new explosives imcluding, but not limited to, mass-produced firebombs for infantry units. They'll escalate to clearing out bandit hideouts with explosives, and bandits will escalate in turn to holding entire buildings for ransom with bomb threats. Truly, a new era has begun because of that character's insistence to solve problems with a bang.

Qin started to run away from the assassin while trying to draw his long ceremonial sword because his underlings couldn't help him (weapons weren't allowed in the palace). So the emperor ran around a pillar (I've heard he ran around it several times) until he was able to draw the sword and finish of Jing Ke on his own

Okay, so I'm a toxicology student and this is actually a really cool quirk of the human language. Something is a poison if it is harmful to ingest or inhale. Arsenic, cyanide, COCAINE and PURE OXYGEN are all poisons. Something is a venom if it is harmful to inject. Snake venoms, any kind of acids or alkaline solutions, WATER and AIR are venoms. The catchall term is toxic. A substance is toxic if it is in any way harmful to humans. And a fun fact about toxicity: EVERYTHING IS TOXIC. LITERALLY. Anything in a high enough dose will kill a person. Drink too much water? You'll die. Too high an oxygen concentration in the air? You'll die. Eat too much spinach? Yup, that's right, you'll die. Sorry Popeye, but your diet is literally toxic. And poisonous. A nice analogy we use on my course is the snake and the frog. If the snake bites the frog and the frog dies, the snake is venomous. If the snake bites the frog and the snake dies, the frog is poisonous. Both of them are toxic.

On the subject of ceremonial swords, are you familiar with the marine officer who led the storming of John Brown's Fort in Harper's Ferry? Apparently he'd been in a rush to get to the fiasco and grabbed his dress sword. When he confronted Brown, he made a stab at his chest. Brown was wearing a US cartridge cross belt, and the sword was deflected and bent. So the officer did what marines do (improvise, adapt, and overcome) and bashed Brown in the face with the knuckle guard.
