I'm arriving at a point in my sci-fi WIP where my protagonists are guests at a compound, but but the host decides to murder them by pumping toxic fumes into their bedroom while they are sleeping. I need it to be slow-acting enough for the heroes to realise what's going on, and break out.
Now, the host didn't plan on having to resort to this, so he doesn't have actual chemical warfare agents on hand. He IS in charge of some industry (I can arrange the details of the exact nature of it to fit the story), so maybe some industrial side effect would work.
Any suggestions?
