Hopefully someone can point out something I've overlooked.
I need a way to knock out a mixed (human, elf, half-elf, half-orc, gnome) party of about 8 characters (and their horses), most of which are around level 10. Since AD&D1 Sleep doesn't affect creatures over 4 HD, that's out. It needs to be silent-ish, not cause physical damage, ignore elf Sleep resistance and saving throws -- or be stackable so multiple instances can be applied to make sure everyone's out. It also needs to last at least 10 or 20 minutes, and the victims have to be so out cold that people walking among them -- and kidnapping one! -- won't wake them.
I don't want to handwave this. Although I can resort to an original aerosol drug of some sort, I would rather be able to point at an obscure spell or magic item.
Can anyone help?
