On a failure, a target takes 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage and becomes poisoned for 1 minute. On a success, a target takes half the damage and isn’t poisoned. A poisoned creature can make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the poisoned condition on itself on a success.
