Heroquest- Day 4

Day 4
•	Night 4. Vilnius is asleep.

•	He wakes up because his blankets are on fire

•	Vilnius tries to pat out the flames but they taunt him and refuse to go out and taunt him instead.

•	The flames coalesce and tell him that he has no sense of humor.

•	 There is a joke contest which Vilnius wins after which the flames announce themselves as Eurmal

•	Eurmal, as a reformed trickster and follower of the Lightbringer path tells Vilnius that he must return what he’s stolen. Vilnius doesn’t understand this (remember that he is still in the dark over the whole Vivamort wants the secret of Life and Death back) but goes along with the gag.

•	Apparently, as a result of our heroes’ quest with Daka Fal, vampires can no longer tell the difference between living and dead things. This has resulted in vampires trying to gain sustenance from zombies and skeletons which hasn’t been working so well.

•	Eurmal and Vilnius talk in circles for a bit. Eurmal insists that the only way to solve the conundrum is either to return what was stolen or perform another trick, either on the thief or on the god it was stolen from.

•	Vilnius goes for the latter.

•	Vilnius and Eurmal go to visit Vivamort and his honeycomb hideout in Hell, well the Underworld, but Hell maintains the alliteration.

•	There’s a riddle contest. Apparently, while the gods invented riddles many of them haven’t kept abreast of the latest advances in riddle technology and Vivamort is particularly bad at it.

•	Vilnius easily wins and is able to go and see the room that death used to be kept in, but he isn’t allowed to take anything. The room itself is REALLY scary.

•	As a result of this quest:

o	All vampires lose temporary intelligence upon waking. This is in addition to the whole, ‘can’t tell the living from the dead’ issue.

o	Vilnius is a lay member of the Eurmal cult. Note! He has not told anyone about that.

o	Vilnius comes to the realization that questing into the Godrealms about events in the past can have real, global and positive effects in the present. This gives him the idea to try and do the same with the Red Moon.
